Cat Sensor - whisker litter-robot 3 Bedienungsanleitung

Cat Sensor

The Cat Sensor is a weight-sensitive switch that detects when a cat enters and exits the
Globe.
Your cat must weigh at least 2.5 kg to trip the Cat Sensor. Do not use the Litter-Ro-
bot in the unattended Automatic Mode with kittens that weigh less than 2.5 kg. Use
of lightweight litters, such as corn or wheat, may require more weight to activate the
Cat Sensor. See FAQ: Can kittens use the Litter-Robot? on page 32.
For the Cat Sensor to accurately detect your cat, the Litter-Robot must be placed on
firm, level flooring. Avoid soft, uneven, or unstable surfaces.
The Litter-Robot relies on the Cat Sensor to know when your cat is inside the Globe and
when it's time to run a Clean cycle. Here's how it works:
●
Each time the unit is powered on and at the end of each cycle, the Cat Sensor
measures the weight of the unit to use as a baseline.
●
When your cat enters the Globe, the Cat Sensor detects increased weight and
prevents the Globe from rotating. When your cat exits, the Cat Sensor detects a
decrease in weight and allows the countdown to a Clean cycle to begin.
●
If the Cat Sensor is tripped during that countdown, a new countdown will begin
once your cat leaves the Globe, ensuring it does not rotate with a cat inside.
●
Eventually (3, 7, or 15 minutes later—depending on the setting), a Clean cycle will
start, and upon finishing, the Cat Sensor will take another measurement of the
weight to use as its new baseline.
Note: Weight applied on the step and/or step mat will not trip the Cat Sensor and stop
the Globe's rotation. This is intentional, as we do not want to invite a cat to enter by stop-
ping the Globe's rotation. If, however, the cat steps inside, the Globe will stop when rotating
counter-clockwise or stop and reverse direction for 3 seconds when rotating clockwise.
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the Cat Sensor, power the unit off before
making any changes that will affect the weight of the unit, including emptying the Waste
Drawer, adding or removing litter from the Globe, or cleaning or moving the unit. When
you are done, turn the unit back on. The Litter-Robot will perform an initial Clean cycle
and the Cat Sensor will take a new measurement of the unit's weight.
