What happens if my cat tries to enter the Globe while it is rotating?
The Litter-Robot Cat Sensing system will detect your cat before they enter the Globe and the
motor will stop. Once your cat leaves the Globe, the Litter-Robot will wait 15 seconds before
attempting to resume the cycle. See OmniSense Cat Detection System on page 27.
Are there any rakes or wires inside the Globe?
No, the Globe does not contain any rakes or wires that could hurt or harm your cat. The Litter-
Robot was designed with your cat’s safety in mind.
Are the electronics or power source dangerous to my cat?
No, there are no electrical components inside the Globe. The Litter-Robot operates on a safe
15 Volts DC using an adapter very similar to the ones you may have at home for a clock radio
or for charging your cell phone.
Will the Globe turn while my cat is inside?
No, the Globe will not turn while your cat is inside. The Litter-Robot Cat Sensing system is
triggered each time a cat enters, or re-enters the Globe, resetting the countdown timer to
prevent the Clean cycle from starting for another 7 minutes.
What happens if the Globe jams?
If the Globe jams or an excessive load condition occurs, the unit will detect the condition with
our Overload Detection system (see page 28). In addition, the Litter-Robot is equipped with
dual Anti-Pinch Safety Features (see page 28).
Does the Litter-Robot require special litter?
No, the Litter-Robot simply requires clumping litter. We recommend a high-quality,
clay-based clumping litter. Use of lightweight litters, such as corn or wheat, may not pass
through the screen effectively. Some silica gel litter beads and crystals can also be used with
the Litter-Robot, as long as they are able to pass through the screen.
Litters that do not work in the Litter-Robot are strictly absorbent, non-clumping or loose-
clumping litters, newspaper-based litters, pine-based litters, and absorbent wood pellet litter.
