Light sensor is built inside the device. No extra light sensor required if the unit is mounted outside the coop.
When installing the doorkeeper inside the coop, please order a sensor extension, the outdoor light sensor (ASb), in the appropriate length.
The sensitivity of the sensor is easily adjustable so that it can be adapted to the installation location and the behaviour of the animals.

If you need a doorkeeper to open a field gate (for horses), please have a look at the two devices VSD and BS2. These are the perfect combination for this application. The VSE is in some cases not suitable for horse applications.

Many things are possible with the VSE. There is a suitable setting for every chicken keeper. Benefit from our top customer service, the quality Made in Germany and long warranty periods. The devices can be mounted flexibly and offers a great price/performance ratio.

You operate the menu via a control magnet at the front of the front cover. The housing does not have to be opened and there are no mechanical components that could break. A very elegant variant. You can place the magnet on the device if you not need it, it stays where it is.

Manual operation
Close the door by holding the magnet shortly to the housing or extension. The door stays closed until the next morning and then opens again automatically - you doen't have to do anything.

Or open the door again the same day. It also closes automatically that evening.

LED indicator:
The device provides status information via an LED in the housing.

For example, that the door must be closed according to the limit switch position.
The batteries must be replaced.
There is a condition that requires your attention.
The LED displays are shown for a limited time. This saves energy and prevents disco lighting at night at the chicken coop.

Mounting
The mounting is very simple: First mount the slider, pull it into the open position, mount the VSE so that you can connect it to the slider via the loop (rolled cord = delivery condition!), connect it. Then insert the batteries and you are done. You can also control several sliders with one VSE via guide rollers "UR" (see installation examples).

Variants and examples for the assembly of the electronic doorkeeper VSE can be found here. They are the same as VSB and VSD.
