TM

 system and the proven reliability of the Hotdog

Overview/Operational Summary

 

Your Premier Canine System

TM

 Plus door opening system is supplied with 40-pounds of pneumatic push power (a gas spring).  

This unique system

 

will unlock, unlatch and push open your vehicle door with the press of a single button from up to 500 feet 

away.  The door unlatch solenoid is rated for 15 pounds.  Most door latches typically require a 5-pound pull.  This unit has the 

strength to operate the door of most standard patrol vehicles.  Your Premier Canine System

TM

 Plus is individually coded for a 

specific vehicle to ensure that the door with the corresponding code will open.  A necessary advantage when multiple systems are 

used within an agency.   
 

As an added safety feature, there is a Door Opener interlock, where the vehicle must be in Park, Neutral or a VSS (Vehicle Speed 

Sensor) sensor connection, which will disable the door opening function when the vehicle is moving. 

If your programmed maximum temperature is exceeded and/or the back up sensor maximum temperature is exceeded (92

o

 F - 

94

o

 F)  your Premier Canine System

TM

 Plus will lower two electric windows, activate the Accessory output (typically a horn or 

lights), summon you via a 

optional pager, from up to 1 mile away, and turn on the high volume fan.  Your system will cycle/alert 

continuously until the interior temperature decreases below the programmed maximum temperature or below the back up sensor 

reset temperature of (91

o

)  unless the unit is turned off by the user, or if the vehicle battery dies.   

 

The optional pager can also function as a vehicle burglar alarm with the addition of 

options that include glass breakage detectors, 

motion sensors, key lock alarms and starter kill functions. Please feel free to contact Criminalistics, Inc. for additional information 
regarding these products.
