Question about Littermate
Hopefully someone can help me. I received a donation of two littermate
automatic litterboxes (the single cat version). They both came without the adapter. I tried battery use, but they expire very quickly. Can anyone who has a littermate at home look at the adapater and let me know the output voltage, so I can go out and buy a universal adapter? Littermate customer service couldn't (or wouldn't???) tell me. Thanks, Petra |

Question about Littermate
First of all, how many batteries does this unit take?
Common voltages for A, C and D batteries is 1.5 volts 2 = 3 volts 4 = 6 volts 8 = 12 volts Once you determine the number of batteries you can narrow the range of adapter voltages. Also be aware that these things draw at least 500 milliamps of power, so get an adapter that is rated at no less than 500 ma. You will also need to determine the polarity of the power jack on the back of the litter box. The polarity may be stamped on the unit near the power jack. If not, you can use a multi-meter to check. Test from the 'outer' terminal of the jack, (not the center pin) to one of the tabs in the battery compartment where the ' - ' side of the battery connects. If you get a reading then you will know the outer sleeve is negative. If not then do the same test only testing to where the ' + ' side of the battery goes, if you get a reading then the center pin is negative. Hope this helps Craig |
