The Staywell 500 Infra Red Cat
Flap represents one of the most technologically advanced
electronic pet door on the market.
As with all other electronic or
magnetic pet doors, this one controls in one direction only. It
serves to limit who can come in but not who can go out.
Reversed installation (turning the pet door around so that it
controls from the inside rather than from the outside) will void the
warranty.
Your cat wears a battery powered
infra-red 'key' on his collar which unlocks the pet door from a
distance of about 6" - 2' (the distance depends upon how bright the
sunlight is. The darker it is, the further away the key will
activate the door).
Staywell provides one collar key
with each pet door. If you order additional keys, you may choose
their color and we will ensure that all keys match. These collar
keys are water resistant; not water proof. Collar key battery is
included.
The door includes a
4-way lock
which has been
significantly improved over the original design.
Normal operation is expected to be
about a year using 4 'AA' batteries (not included). The optional
transformer allows for operation from house current with battery
back-up. Since this pet
door is
self-framing, it may be installed in any door including solid or hollow
core, metal, insulation filled etc. Adjustment range for the self-framing
feature is 0" to 2".
Tunnel sections may be added one at a time as needed for installation in
a wall.
Staywell believes that this pet door is suitable for cats
to about 15 lbs. When used for a dog, we'd suggest shading that value
back a bit. As always, please measure before purchase.
Note that the Staywell company has been purchased by PetSafe which is
why we display the PetSafe logo in addition to the Staywell logo. |
