Need help wiring a remote to a fish feeder

[BlakeJ]

Can someone help me out on the wiring on this timer? There are two sets of wires coming out of the timer going to the motor. I think it's because there are two motors, one to throw the feed and one to clear the extra feed from the feeder (or something like that...). But I need to know which wires to tie in to in order to hook up the remote. The red and black wires going in to the timer are the battery, and the green and black wires going in to the timer are the solar. There are two more sets going down to the motor(s), the orange and white, and the orange and brown. Does anyone know how I should tie in this remote? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If that is a Texas Hunter, one will go to the blower and one to the spinner. Blower starts before the spinner and shutsoff after the spinner.

Correct, I just don't know which is which and how to hook the remote to it.

I have the same feeder. I am guessing you will have to turn those two wires on the remote into 4 wires then attach them to the 4 wires that control the blower and spinner. I would think the 4 wires will be 2 of one color and 2 of another color designating + and - so you may need a meter to figure that out. Did you use their solar panel or did you supply your own? I am going to put one on mine when I start feeding my fish again in the spring.

When I bought it, it had the solar panel on it. The remote has a second set of wires, so maybe I can just start plugging them in in different combinations until it works.

THE-REMOTE is made for a single motor system.

If a fish feeder has 2 motors, then the timer actives the blower motor first. When then blower motor gets to full speed, the timer actives distribution motor. Next the timer shuts down the distribution motor while the blower motor continues to run to blow out the remaining feed.

If you double wire THE-REMOTE to both motors, the motors will both run at the same time and can cause a feed jam.

Well crap...
Anyone know of a remote that'll work on this fish feeder?
