- You are using a relatively standard and lightweight flap (up to approx. 1.5 kg), which you wish to install flexibly without a mains connection
- no longer have to worry about changing batteries, as the device is powered exclusively by the inserted rechargeable batteries, which are charged via an integrated solar cell
- Opt for a simple and robust solution
Variants
You can choose between:
- Standard VSF-Solar, control unit with rechargeable batteries and solar cell
- VSF/r control unit, for use with your own socket-mounted timer (power on/off)

Electronic Doorkeeper for control via an external socket-mounted timer (power on = open, power off = close) ! Important note: the required external socket timer is not included with the Doorkeeper. Please use one that suits your needs. Leave the work to your new electronic Doorkeeper. Automatic chicken coop flap control unit with a 12V power supply for operation from a mains socket via a socket-mounted timer The device allows you to control your chicken flap, for example, using your own simple socket timer or a Wi-Fi socket. For example, you could use a simple analogue timer switch from a DIY store. These are extremely easy to set up and are perfectly adequate for most applications. Do you have Wi-Fi in the henhouse and a power socket? Use a Wi-Fi socket timer to integrate your hen flap into your Wi-Fi network, or into your own preferred smart home system. Make use of the wide range of control options offered by your own Wi-Fi sockets to control the chicken flap remotely, e.g. whilst on holiday, in much the same way as you would control a lamp via Wi-Fi. For example, use the astro function on some socket timers to control it based on twilight. Simply switch the power on or off remotely to control the flap manually. Use the setting profiles in the timer app to set different switching times for different days. Closing takes place relatively slowly, whilst opening is comparatively quick. This behaviour is advantageous, as the animals want to leave the barn early in the morning. The maximum weight of approx. 2 to 2.5 kg on the device should not be exceeded. Notes: Please note that the required socket and the power supply unit must be installed in a dry indoor location. When using the 12V power supply, the overload cut-out activates relatively late. There is a risk of injury if any part of the body becomes trapped between the chicken flap or the object being opened and the device. Do not reach into the loop or between the loop and the device whilst opening. This is not a toy! Use in the presence of children should only take place under supervision! Up to 2.5 kg slider weightQuick and easy to installIdeal if you want to use your own socket timer, or if you want to integrate the chicken flap into a Wi-Fi network Sliding panels and doors are optionally available in up to three different sizes Pull cord designed for long-lasting durabilityNever be late for work again because you had to open the chicken flap first thing in the morningSave yourself extra trips and a lot of timeSave yourself arguments with your neighbours over your feathered friendsMake the most of your Sunday breakfast with your familyContinue to benefit from: Top-class customer service from a German manufacturer based in the heart of Germany(relatively short communication channels, direct contact, straightforward solutions) Fast service from a dedicated team Further options – optional or alternative items: Note: There is no control option on the device itself. A socket timer and, accordingly, a socket near the Doorkeeper are required. To connect to a Wi-Fi network, a suitable Wi-Fi signal is required for a Wi-Fi socket timer. Alternatively, any socket timer (230V, 50Hz) can be used. The mains adaptor must only be used indoors in a dry environment! Alternative product: VSF, chicken coop flap controller with integrated manual timer (just as easy to set as a standard DIY shop socket timer), and power supply via solar cell/internal rechargeable batteries.

Description: Medium-sized sliding gate for securing animal enclosures such as duck houses (accessory for electronic Doorkeepers VSB+ST, VSBb, VSD, VSE, VSF, VSF/r))Also includes a marten-proof rail and a connector to attach your sliding panel to the loop of your Doorkeeper’s pull cord Installation note 1: The rails have an H-shaped profile. The lower drill holes are on the inside. The upper drill holes are on the outside. This prevents the slider from jamming. Installation note 2: The sliding panel runs approximately 1 cm within each rail. Therefore, if the rails are to be fitted flush with the opening, the opening must be no more than 28 cm wide (30 – (2 × 1) = 28 cm). However, we recommend waiting until you have positioned the rails so that you can cut the hole to size accordingly.
