Questions & Answers

Can this timer be disconnected from its power source without losing its programming?

In a situation where you are simply swapping batteries, the device does not lose programming. You should be all right as long as you don't wait more than two or three days to change it out.

The screen of my w225d series feeder has just gone black and I need to replace it. I've had it for over a year now and it works fine now. ?

The charger works for a totally unrelated 12V device I used it for (water pump), so I guess that's all 12V devices

It's not compatible with the connectors on my Moultrie Hanging Feeder, so I bought this as a replacement clock for it. Is there anything we need to know?

It would seem your feeder should have two alligator clips connected to two wires. All that's left to do is connect those two wires to the timer and your timer is ready to go. A bear recently stripped my timer of its connections, leaving me in the dark as to exactly where they are.

I've had this timer for over a month and it doesn't last
3/5

I went out in August to get everything set up, but the timer did not work. This timer let me know it was a bit bigger than the original when I tried to put it in. Up until two days ago, I had the wedged in and everything was fine. Two months were used up in this timer. Not even a light will shine. The battery was still dead after I installed a new one. This is the last one I will buy.

Added an update
3/5

A failure is a failure. I have updated. I didn't last more than one season with Well. Have you ever had a glitch, or twitching like when someone moves their eyes? The corn spun for about a tenth of a second per minute and did so every minute. A typical serving of corn contains about 10 pieces. We do this every BY AUTUMN. After 2 weeks, you show up to check on the corn feeder and find a huge pile of corn. I. B. *. The whole dang 4 bags of corn is a massive pile since it has been over a month since you last came! Exactly. I was the victim of a B. I have tried to fix it. It's not going to happen. It would be so nice if the damn thing just broke It would therefore be a no-go for me to recommend to others or to buy from them again. The majority of these products are the same as each other with a different name. I had to replace an original I had, and this is perfect. Easily configure so many options compared to the old one

It is much better than the analog timers of the past! The analog timers on two of my Wild Game timers are old and have not worked for a long time
5/5

A majority of the time, they didn't trip when they should have. Those who lose. Because the rest of the rig was already there, it was decided to replace one of the timers with this model rather than start all over. I am talking about the real deal here. Now that I have seen the improvement in #2, I am buying it. * **Easy Although some have argued over whether or not it could keep time when batteries were disconnected, it seems to keep time at least for a period of 15 minutes or so, which would be enough time to swap out an old battery. The fact that the spinner speed and duration can be calibrated for each feeding is particularly useful. It is externally wired and installed on the ground as it is a set of wet batteries, 12 V, small size. This is an easy place to reach. I wired a male lighter plug to the battery terminals and a female lighter plug to the spinner on each battery. To switch a battery, it takes a mere three minutes I spent four seconds on that. On the timer there is a battery level meter that is quite useful This test will take 10 seconds to complete. The battery voltage can be either 6 or 12 volts. Why do I see so many negative comments on What's the reason? So that you can see how much feed is being dispersed, you need to move out of the way and out of the way. This is what beats looks like when he gets blasted with corn. We have been there and done that I used an analog timer to do that. In my case, I set it to feed at 7 am and 4 pm. This device has 6 feeding times, some programmed for duration, some for motor speed, etc. (This means it is a no brainer to wire the feeder). This takes about 10 minutes. There are four wires, two to the motor and two to the positive and negative. It's time to turn it on. This timer is designed with every aspect of the user in mind, at least from what I can tell. A MUCH better POS than the analog.

I like the way it works
3/5

The Wildgame Innovations feeder / timer combo that includes the timer has worked perfectly for me when used with the timer. There are three of these setups that I use year round, and they have never failed me. It was possible to just replace the timers on some older feeders, but I encountered weird issues. The batteries would drain in a week, and the sun could not recharge the battery since the battery was dead or the timer would read that the feeder was faulty when it was absolutely fine. This allows the timer to stop working and the feed not to drop when entering the "jammed" error mode. The frankensteined timers and feeders will be replaced with the combo units that can be purchased on Amazon for $42. In addition, I purchase the solar panels so the batteries can be In any case, the Academy or Amazon have the solar panels for a much cheaper price, so it almost makes sense to buy there because of their.

As far as we're concerned, the WI power control unit is fairly standard
4/5

The deer are attracted to the feeders we have set up. As far as we're concerned, the WI power control unit is fairly standard. I like the way the unit works and it seems fairly robust, though it is not waterproof (and it does not seem to be water-resistant). An infiltration of water is one of the most frequent causes of failure. Using this unit is easy, as it has an intuitive interface. I would prefer a slightly different wiring design, but it is very simple to cut the existing wires and install whatever connectors you prefer. The testing cycle is delayed so that you are not pelted with corn or feed during a live trial. I think this is a pretty good product overall.

You've done a great job I find this to be a very It turned out that a whole WGI box with this timer and a new motor and box for $45 (the timer was $30) would have been better for my bucket feeder since it turns out only Moultrie parts will fit them In the end, I had to mount the timer in an external waterproof box and route the wires back and forth in a split configuration to prevent varmints from chewing on it
4/5

There is only one advantage to this set up, which is that I automatically have somewhere to mount the solar panel to (I mount it outside the otter box facing.

Developing wild game innovation products is a waste of time
3/5

A new timer was needed because the one I had last year had It wouldn't work when I connected it to the battery and motor. The battery and motor were replaced, but the motor still did not This is not a product I would recommend.

The deer feeder I have is perfect for it
5/5

It is easy to operate, but there are more expensive ones that do the same thing.
