1.3. Installation
Choosing a Location
Note: SmartFeed is very sensitive to weight fluctuations. To get as accurate of a
weight reading as possible, please follow these rules:
1. Choose a location where no grass or plants will grown under the bin
2. Ensure the bin is completely suspended by its load cell bars.
3. In windy environments, use solid obstructions, such as plywood, sheet metal, or
other types of shelter to block as much wind as possible.
4. Ensure nothing is leaning against the bin. This includes wires, plants, farm tools,
or other equipment.
5. Check regularly to ensure that feed has not fallen below the SmartFeed bin and is
piling up.
Anchoring the Frame to the Ground
Caution! SmartFeed is front-heavy and can tip over easily if not anchored
appropriately. Please use caution when moving or installing the system to prevent
from injury or damage. ALWAYS ANCHOR ALL FOUR CORNERS OF SMARTFEED
FIRMLY TO THE GROUND.
1. Select a location that will not allow the animals to access the feed bin from
behind. Alternatively, place a fence around the SmartFeed to prevent access from
behind.
2. Make sure the unit is on a level surface by placing it on flat pieces of metal,
wood, or concrete.
3. Use rebar or ground anchors to secure the frame to the ground. See Figure 2 for
reference.

Figure 2) SmartFeed Orientation and Mounting Reference
4. Your feeder may have been shipped with protection spacers. Once the frame is
anchored, remove the load cell protection spacers from each load cell bar.
These spacers can be removed by lifting the bin up on each side (one at a time),
then removing the spacer. Please save the spacers for future transportation.

1.4. Powering SmartFeed On and Off
SmartFeed only requires a 12 volt DC power source to operate. This low voltage is
relatively harmless. However, if an external AC to DC power converter is used to power
the SmartFeed, the AC power going into the converter can be hazardous. Please protect
the AC power cord and exercise caution when using AC power.
Before you power on SmartFeed:
1. Connect the provided power cable to the SmartFeed power plug. The plug is
located directly below the gate latch mechanism. See Figure 4 for reference.
Figure 4) SmartFeed Power Receptacle
2. Ensure all power cables are protected from animals and other possible sources of
damage, such as vehicle or foot traffic.
3. Ensure the power cord is not a tripping hazard.
4. Contact C-Lock if the power cord is worn or wires are exposed.

To power on SmartFeed:
1. Depending on your SmartFeed setup, you may have a different method of
applying power to the unit, either a power switch or a power connector. Ensure
the power source is connected to your SmartFeed unit, and if applicable, turn the
power switch to ON.
2. The power indicator light on SmartFeed will illuminate, to signify that it has
power.
3. Once power is applied, please allow ~1 minute for the system to initialize.
4. Use the mobile Control Feed application to scan for your system to ensure it is
fully powered on and ready.
To power off SmartFeed:
1. Locate the power receptacle. (See Figure 8.)
2. Pull the white tab out.
3. Push down on the black latch and wiggle the connector back and forth while
pulling it outward. (See Figure 5)
