Frequently Asked Questions - Feeder Fpi 4503 Ferplast

How do I install the Ferplast Feeder Fpi 4503 on my aquarium?

Attach the mounting bracket or suction cup to a clean, dry surface on the aquarium rim or glass. Securely snap the feeder onto the bracket. Ensure the food drum is positioned over the water.

What type of batteries does the Feeder Fpi 4503 use?

It requires 2 AA batteries (not included). Use alkaline batteries for best performance. Open the battery compartment on the back, insert batteries following polarity marks, and close securely.

How do I set the feeding schedule?

Press the SET button to enter programming mode. Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the first feeding time. Press SET again to confirm. Repeat for additional feedings (up to 4 per day). The feeder will automatically dispense food at set times.

How can I adjust the portion size?

Turn the PORTION dial on the side of the feeder. A higher number indicates a larger portion. Test the portion by pressing the MANUAL FEED button to ensure the desired amount is dispensed.

The feeder stopped working. What should I check?

First, check that batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. Ensure the food drum is not jammed with food or debris. Clean the drum and refill with dry food. If still not working, the motor may be defective; contact Ferplast support.

Can I use wet or homemade food in this feeder?

No, the feeder is designed for dry food only (flakes, pellets, or granules). Wet food can cause clogging, mold, and damage to the mechanism.

How do I clean the Feeder Fpi 4503?

Disconnect batteries. Remove the food container and drum. Rinse with warm water (no soap) and dry thoroughly before reassembly. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.

What does the 'Low Battery' indicator mean?

A flashing red light indicates low battery. Replace both batteries as soon as possible to prevent missed feedings.

Can I manually feed fish without disrupting the schedule?

Yes, press the MANUAL FEED button once to dispense one portion. This does not reset the programmed schedule.

Where can I find spare parts or get repairs?

Contact Ferplast customer service or visit their website for spare parts like food drums, brackets, or batteries covers. The feeder is not user-serviceable; repairs should be done by authorized personnel.
