The American Hunter E-40 is a hanging feeder combining a 25-litre plastic hopper with an automatic photocell-controlled E-Kit. The first cycle is triggered by daylight, while a second feeding can be scheduled 6–12 hours later. Each dispensing cycle is adjustable from 1 to 30 seconds. Suitable for use Scheduled supplementary feeding of wildlife Dispensing dry corn, grain and suitable feed pellets Small and medium-use feeding locations Morning and evening feeding routines Monitoring wildlife in front of a trail camera Seasonal feeding points Uneven terrain unsuitable for a tripod feeder Remote locations without mains electricity Portable and relocatable feeder installations Why choose the American Hunter E-40 feeder? 25-litre plastic feed hopper Manufacturer-rated load capacity of approximately 18.1 kg Photocell-controlled E-Kit feeder mechanism First cycle activated by daylight Second cycle programmable 6–12 hours later Adjustable 1–30-second dispensing duration Powered by a separate 6 V battery Galvanized metal spinning plate Protective housing for the analogue timer Hanging construction Easy to relocate Requires no mains-electricity connection Suitable for feeding points monitored by a trail camera Technical specifications Product type: Automatic hanging feeder Hopper volume stated in the sales description: 25 l Manufacturer-rated load capacity: 40 lb / approximately 18.1 kg Feeding cycles: Up to 2 per day First feeding: Triggered by daylight Second feeding: Adjustable from 6 to 12 hours after the first cycle Dispensing duration: 1–30 seconds Control system: Analogue timer and photocell Feeder mechanism: E-Kit Feed distribution: Motor-driven spinning plate Spinner-plate material: Galvanized metal Hopper material: Durable plastic Power supply: 6 V spring-terminal SLA battery Battery included: No Installation: Hanging Colour: Black Suitable feed: Dry, free-flowing grain or appropriately sized feed pellets Supplied with American Hunter 25 l plastic feed hopper Automatic E-Kit feeder mechanism Photocell-controlled analogue timer Timer and mechanism guard Galvanized metal spinning plate Hanging and connection hardware A 6 V spring-terminal SLA battery is required and is not included. Frequently asked questions Does the E-40 have a digital timer? No. The E-40 uses an analogue timer and a photocell. The first cycle is activated by daylight, and the second is set to run between 6 and 12 hours after the first. How many times per day can it dispense feed? The feeder provides up to two daily cycles. It is primarily intended for a morning feeding followed by another cycle later in the day or during the evening. Can an exact clock time be programmed? No. Operation is based on changing daylight rather than an exact time entered into a digital clock. The AH-NF-ECON is more suitable when freely programmable times, weekday schedules or more than two daily cycles are required. How long does each dispensing cycle run? The duration can be adjusted from 1 to 30 seconds. The actual quantity released depends on the size, dryness and flow characteristics of the selected feed. What type of battery is required? The E-40 operates from one 6 V spring-terminal sealed lead-acid battery. The battery is not included. Check its physical dimensions, terminal arrangement and polarity before purchase. How much feed does the hopper hold? The sales description gives the hopper volume as 25 litres, while the manufacturer rates the model for 40 lb, or approximately 18.1 kg. The actual mass that fits inside depends on the density of the selected feed. What feed is suitable for the mechanism? Use dry, free-flowing corn, grain or appropriately sized feed pellets. Wet, frozen, clumped or excessively coarse material may obstruct the outlet and spinning mechanism. Where should the photocell be positioned? The sensor must be able to detect natural changes in daylight. Avoid placing it beneath a closed roof, dense overhead cover or another source of deep shade that could affect the activation time. Recommended products American Hunter 19 l collapsible feeder with a digital timer An American Hunter 6 V digital feeder mechanism A larger feeder for longer refill intervals A compatible 6 V spring-terminal SLA battery Trail cameras for monitoring the feeding location Secure hanging hardware rated for the feeder’s loaded weight When is the American Hunter E-40 the right choice? The E-40 is suitable for a feeding location where two daylight-related cycles are sufficient. Its photocell control allows feeding to follow the natural start of the day without programming an exact clock time. The AH-NF-ECON is a more flexible option when exact times, different weekday schedules or more than two daily cycles are required. The E-40 instead offers straightforward control, 6 V battery power and a portable hanging construction. Expert recommendation Hang the feeder from a strong support and account for the combined weight of the unit and its full hopper. Leave clear space around the spinning plate and position the mechanism beyond the animals’ direct reach. The photocell should remain exposed to a clear and consistent change in morning light. Begin with a short one- to three-second cycle and measure the amount released. Check the battery voltage, hopper dryness and free movement of the spinning plate regularly. Empty and clean the hopper and disconnect the battery before long-term storage. Straightforward photocell-controlled feeding The American Hunter E-40 combines a 25-litre plastic hopper, photocell-controlled automatic operation and an adjustable metal spinning plate. It is a practical option when up to two daylight-related feeding cycles are required at a location without mains electricity.
