Where to put your Hub
Because your Microchip Pet Feeder Connect system communicates wirelessly, the location
of your Hub can affect its performance.
1 m
Place the Hub at least 1 metre off the ground
(i.e. on a table that is as clear of obstructions
as possible).
Avoid positioning your Hub near or in line
of sight of any large amounts of water
(i.e. fish tanks).
Make sure the Hub isn't positioned next to
any large metal objects (i.e. fridges).
Occasionally your Hub may experience connection issues despite following these
tips. For further advice on how to move your Hub closer to your Microchip Pet Feeder
Connect, go to surepetcare.com/support
If your Hub loses internet connection for any reason, your Microchip Pet Feeder
Connect will still function as normal and retain its settings.
9
max. 10 m
Try to position your Hub so that it is
in line-of-sight of your feeder and within
a 10 metre radius.
Keep your Hub as far away as possible from
any potential sources of interference
(i.e. digital cordless phones, baby monitors, etc).
Avoid thick walls between the Hub and
the feeder.
Hub lights
Your Hub indicates its current state using the lights in its ears. Different coloured light
sequences mean different things.
Setup lights
Every time the Hub powers up or is trying to connect to other elements of the system,
you'll see the setup lights:
1
the ears will alternate red for a while,
2
then they will alternate green,
once you see a flash of orange and
3
the ears go solid green the Hub
is connected.
Green ears
Green ears mean the Hub is working correctly. See below for the details of what each light
sequence means.
Both ears are solid green – Your Hub is turned on, connected and working correctly.
Alternating green ears – Your Hub is re-connecting to our servers.
Red ears
Both ears are solid red – Your Hub is doing a software update. Be patient, your Hub
will reboot and continue as normal shortly.
Both ears flashing red – Your Hub has lost connection with your feeder and is trying
to reconnect.
Alternating red ears – Your Hub is having difficulty connecting to the internet and/or
the servers.
