This document describes the WilTec Wildanger Technik GmbH Automatic Fish Food Dispenser CFF-206 (Item 55563), a solar-powered device designed for automated fish feeding.
Function Description
The CFF-206 is an automatic fish food dispenser designed to provide consistent and controlled feeding for fish in a pond or similar environment. It operates autonomously, powered by solar energy, and can be programmed for up to six daily feeding sessions. The device distributes food over a 120° horizontal angle, with adjustable feeding distances to ensure comprehensive coverage of the pond. Its primary function is to simplify fish feeding, ensuring regular and appropriate food distribution without manual intervention. The device features a transparent cylinder and feed mechanism, allowing users to monitor food levels.
Important Technical Specifications

It also includes a charge socket for an adapter (12 V, purchased separately) for alternative charging.
Usage Features
The CFF-206 offers a range of features designed for ease of use and effective fish feeding:
- Solar Power: The device is primarily powered by solar energy, making it environmentally friendly and reducing the need for external power sources.
- Automated Feeding: It can be set to perform up to six feeding sessions per day, with each session having a duration of up to 20 seconds.
- Adjustable Feeding Duration: The duration of food distribution can be set from 0 to 20 seconds, with 0 seconds meaning no food will be distributed during that session.
- Adjustable Feeding Distance: The device offers three feeding distance settings:
- S (Small feeding radius): Uses about 60% motor capacity, with a distribution range of approximately 1 meter.
- M (Medium feeding radius): Uses about 80% motor capacity, with a distribution range of approximately 2 meters.
- L (Large feeding radius): Uses about 100% motor capacity, with a distribution range of approximately 3 meters.
- Large, High-Quality Display: The device features a clear display for easy monitoring and programming of settings.
- Protective Cover: A newly added protective cover prevents faulty activation and shields the sensitive control panel from environmental influences, enhancing the device's longevity.
- Manual Feeding: A manual feeding option is available by pressing and holding the designated button for 3 seconds, which immediately starts the feeding process.
- Installation Options: The device can be anchored in the soil using ground pegs or attached to solid ground with screws, ensuring a secure stand.
- User Interface: The control panel includes buttons for "SET" (Settings), "RUN" (Manual feeding), "UP," and "DOWN" to adjust time, feeding frequency, feeding duration, and feeding distance.
- Battery Level Indicator: A dedicated indicator shows the current charge level of the battery.
- Charge Indicator: This indicator flickers during charging and remains visible once the battery is fully charged.
- Time Setting: The current time can be adjusted using the "SET," "UP," and "DOWN" buttons.
- Automatic Exit from Setup: While setting modes, the system provides a 10-second time window between inputs before automatically exiting the setup and returning to display the time.
- Audible Feedback: A buzzing sound is heard whenever the "SET" button is pressed, confirming input.
Maintenance Features
The CFF-206 is designed with some considerations for maintenance and troubleshooting:
- Battery Management: For longer periods of non-use, the switch should be closed off to prevent potential battery leakage, which could affect the device's service life.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a basic troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- Display not working: This could be due to a loose internal connection cable (solution: unscrew the bottom screws and tighten them) or an uncharged battery (solution: place in sunlight for solar charging or charge with a 12 V adapter).
- Display works but feeding does not occur: This indicates a stuck impeller (solution: clean the impeller and remove any foreign matter).
- Impeller rotates but no feed distribution: This suggests that clusters of feed might be blocking the inlet (solution: use mashed feed).
- Durable Material: The shell is made of light and resilient ABS material, contributing to the device's overall durability.
The device is not intended for commercial use and should only be used as intended. It is crucial to read and understand the operation instructions to minimize the risk of injury and ensure proper functioning. The manufacturer emphasizes the importance of contacting customer service before returning goods for exchange or repair to ensure a smooth process.
