RIFD-BASED DOOR CONTROL
You can program your petWALK pet door the way that only pets having an authorized RFID-based
id chip can access it. It does not matter whether your pet has an implanted transponder or
carries a collar tag. The chip is used as a house key of your pet. If the RFID chip is registered at
the door and the access control program is activated, the door will only open when your pet is in
front of it (RFID stands for
radio frequency identification
).
NOTE!
Even if your pet is micro chipped, we recommend using the
supplied collar tag first to get your pet used to this process. If
your pet is used to it, you can switch to the use of the implanted
chip.
NOTE!
We have no control on the quality of the chips implanted by a
veterinarian and also on the area of implantation. Therefore, it is
possible that the pet door just starts reacting, when your pet is
already very close to it. Experience has shown that the pets
quickly understand how they can pass.
