- Skip to step 5, you’re now ready to calibrate feeding portions.

- On your phone, tablet, or computer, open Wi-Fi settings.

- Look for a network named PFS_XXXXXX and connect (no password required).

- The setup page for your feeder will open automatically in your browser (3<5 seconds).

- You’re now ready to calibrate feeding portions.

Since different size kibbles feed at different rates, it is important to calibrate your feeder to the specific kibble size that you want to use. In addition, if you change kibbles, it would be best to re-calibrate the time.

What You’ll Need: a measuring cup or container (about 2 cups).

1. Fill the feeder storage container (at least half full) with your dog's food.

2. Place the container under the dispenser nozzle.

3. In the app, open Setup → Measure to access the Calibration/Timing Screen.

4. Tap Start Auger to begin dispensing, then Stop Auger when you reach your desired amount in the container. The app displays the time in seconds.

💡 Example: if 40 seconds dispenses approx. 1½ cups, use that as a reference for your feeding schedule.

You can schedule up to four feedings per day. You can vary the portion size per meal by adjusting the run time for each.

1. On the Setup Screen, select one of the four available feeding times.

2. Use the clock tool to set the time (AM or PM).

3. Enter the dispensing duration (in seconds) based on your calibration test.

4. Repeat for each desired feeding.

This ensures feeding continues during a power outage.

- Install 8 AA Alkaline batteries into the adapter box.

- Ensure that the plug of the small adapter cord is in the connector in the back of the feeder’s control box.

Either method helps to prevent your dog from nudging or moving the feeder, for extra stability (especially for large dogs).

Option 1:

Use the two mounting holes inside the bowl alignment lugs to secure with #10 wood screws.

Option 2:
