No, you can rest assured. The power supply unit and the temperature sensor are in the storage compartment (1a) in the food container (1). See picture.
If you add a new type of food to your JBL PROPOND AUTOFOOD, you need to observe the maximum granulation of 9 mm. Fill up to 25 l of food into the automatic feeder, make the settings for up to 24 feedings per day and set the throwing range to 0,5 m or 1 m. Heavy and large granulates can behave differently to small ones. It’s best to make a few test feeds and note how much you are dispensing. Do not use too large flakes and granules as this will lead to a clogging of the screw conveyors. If you keep an eye on the general conditions, you can use almost any standard feed for koi and garden pond fish. They will not have to restrict their diet in any way.
The JBL PROPOND AUTOFOOD automatic feeder for garden ponds has an integrated battery with 7200 mAh. The additional integrated solar panel charges the integrated battery in daylight and sunlight. Provided that no light at all reaches the panel, the battery is able to supply food several times a day for a period of over a week. Depending on the quantity, up to three weeks of self-sufficient feeding can be possible. Since the battery even charges in winter, the device can work absolutely self-sufficiently and does not usually require any electrical connection.
