FAQ
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
➔ What is the difference between HayTime Digital and HayTime Mechanical timers?
HayTime Mechanical is a mechanical timer that is reliable and affordable with a basic 12-hour maximum.The HayTime Digital is a digital timer that offers accurate timing to the minute and a longer maximum time. If your intention is to time hay for different horses with more than one timer, we recommend the digital timer.
➔ Does HayTime Digital need mains power or external batteries?
No need. HayTime Digital runs on a built-in battery and does not require mains power. The battery is charged via the USB-C connector and lasts for approximately 12-24 months, depending on usage and weather conditions. It only takes a few hours to fully charge the battery.
➔ Is HayTime Digital resistant to frost and humidity?
Yes. All our equipment has been tested for Nordic conditions. We recommend charging the timer battery before the winter season.
➔ Do I need to set daily release times on the HayTime Digital timer?
No need. You can switch the digital timer to Repeat-mode, so that the device automatically repeats the set release times.
For example, if you set the timer to open daily (Mode 2) at 13.00 and 01.00 and switch on repeat mode, the timer will be released at these times every day. All you have to do is turn the handle on top of the timer to the locked position and set the opening system in place.
➔ If I set two different times on the timer, do I have to go in between?
Yes, you do. Although the timer will automatically handle the release, the timer must be manually locked after each release.
At the same time, horses are given new hay to replace the hay they have eaten so that the system is ready for the next timed release.
➔ How much load can the timer withstand?
The maximum load of the digital timer is 3 kg. Please note, however, that the timer requires a small pull (load) to operate in order to release the mechanism at the set time. For example, if you try the device on a table without a pull, it will not open automatically.
➔ What happens if, for example, a horse rushes through a timed gate?
The timer is designed with safety in mind: if it is pulled too hard and too suddenly, the mechanism is built to open automatically before major damage can occur.
Please note, however, that this automatic release does not fully guarantee that the timer cannot be damaged in such a situation. However, if something does break, all parts of the timer are available separately as spare parts.
