Brinsea ChickSafe ECO 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 position 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 ECO:
The Brinsea ECO is triggered to either open or close your hen house door based on rising or falling light levels. As the sun comes up, the increasing light levels trigger the ChickSafe Eco to open the hen house door and the falling light levels at dusk which stimulate chickens to go inside the coop, trigger the device to close the hen house door.
The only adjustment on the Eco is for the sensitivity to light level at closing - ensuring you can just adjust the setting to allow the slowest hen to get to bed. No other adjustment is necessary - just fit and forget!
The Eco has a light indicator to show the following: the door is open or the door is closed, the door is jammed or if the batteries needs replacing. The software is not triggered by quick changes in light level so that passing car headlamps wont cause the door to open at night, for example.
Brinsea's door openers are weatherproof, work in extreme weather conditions and are made from UV resistant materials.
