8. Normal Operation
Normal operation couldn’t be simpler. Once programmed, the DualScan cat ap controls the
access of your pets both into and out of the house. This allows you to restrict some pets
to indoors-only, while others are allowed outside and back in again. Any intruder animals
attempting entry are kept outside.
When a cat puts its head in the tunnel to push the ap open sensors on either side of the door
detect which side of the ap your pet is approaching from and permits entry or exit only if the
individual’s settings enable it to do so. Note that the DualScan cat ap does not activate if your
cat is just wandering in front of the ap, inside or outside the house.
After the cat ap has opened, it will stay unlocked until after your cat has passed through the
tunnel. The catch will close around one second later. Note that both catches will open when
your cat goes through the cat ap.
One further feature of the ap is a magnet that keeps the door closed when not in use.
When testing the DualScan cat ap before installation, your cat will need to push its
head against the ap from the tunnel side of the unit or pass all the way through the
ap. There is a sensor that detects the cat’s presence in the tunnel that needs to be
triggered and no amount of waving your cat in front of the ap will have an effect.
