Brinsea ChickSafe ADVANCE Automatic Hen House Door Opener & Door

Brinsea's ChickSafe hen house door openers are the rugged, reliable, fuss-free solution to the problem of being away from home when your chickens need their hen house door closing at night or opening in the morning.  

Chicken keepers need complete confidence in any hen house door opener - otherwise the birds are at serious risk of predators - So Brinsea's ChickSafe models feature a unique mechanism that means there is only one moving part and no mechanical switches for ultimate reliability.  The ChickSafe units both feature 'Auto Stop' if a chicken is obstructing the door.

The ChickSafe models are easily fixed to most hen houses with two screws (supplied) and require no setup or calibration.  Just attach the cord to the sliding door and the ChickSafe goes through an automatic procedure to detect the door positon and it's ready to go!

Every part of the ChickSafe hen house door openers are designed with long life and weather resistance which means Brinsea is confident in providing a free 3 year guarantee subject to online registration.

ABOUT THIS MODEL - CHICKSAFE ADVANCE:

The ChickSafe Advance is tough and can raise and lower any vertical door from 300 grammes to 4 Kg in weight. The Brinsea ChickSafe Advance has two systems to trigger the door to open or close: either by detecting changes in light level or using a real-time clock timer. It's also possible to program the system to be triggered by lowering light levels as well as a 'latest time to close' time setting. The sensitivity of the falling light level is user adjustable and the software looks for slow changes in light so isn't affected by car headlights at night, for example.

The Brinsea ChickSafe Advance has an indicator to show that the door is open, closed, battery low or fault alert. The digital control system also allows the user to override the automatic system and immediately either open or close the door or hold the door in its current position until the override is switched off – handy if trying to isolate birds in the hen house. The control also allows the user to delay the opening of the door in the morning on 2 days out of 7 to a selected time which can use used to keep the birds contained at weekends, for example. The ChickSafe Advance features 'auto-stop' if a chicken is obstructing the door.

The ChickSafe ADVANCE has the same features as the Eco model but with the addition of a timing system which allows the user to set the door to open and close based on changing light levels or time of day.  It's also possible to program the system to be triggered by lowering light levels as well as a "latest time to close" time setting.

The digital control system also allows the user to override the automatic system and immediately either open or close the door or to hold the door in its current position until the override is switched off - handy if trying to isolate birds in the hen house.  The control also allows the user to delay the opening of the door in the morning on 2 days out of 7 to a selected time which can be used to keep the birds contained on weekends, for example.
