Safety Sensors

1. IR Sensor + Hall sensors
   ChouBox is equipped with 10 layers infrared ray for protection, 2 sets of Hall sensors.
   When the ChouBox operates, it automatically pauses when the cat is nearby or enters the litter box.

2. Gravity sensors
   ChouBox has 4 gravity sensors. While your cat is inside the Ball, the weight sensors ensure that the ball remains stationary until the cat is judged off the ChouBox for 10 seconds before resuming its previous operation.

Deodorisation systems

1. Odour removal
   ChouBox comes standard with a sealed waste collection box and a built-in ozone generator. This locks the odor inside and prevents it from spreading into the air.

2. Germicidal
   The ChouBox is equipped with UV light, which works continuously from 3 seconds before opening the sealed door until 3 seconds after closing to destroy viruses and bacteria in the waste bin in time to protect your cat’s safety.

Dismantling and routine maintenance

Recommendation on cleaning frequency
ChouBox is equiped with a 10L/610 inch collection box that will keep you from having to clean it for up to two weeks, but we recommend cleaning it every 5 to 7 days.
Replacing trash bags
Pull out the waste drawer from underneath the ChouBox. Open the lid and remove the waste bag from the bin and replace it with a new one. When finished, close the lid and
push the drawer back into the ChouBox.
Note: Please press the trash bag as far as possible into the bottom of the waste drawer with your hand so as not to block the infrared sensor. *There might be some small particles of litter that may stick to the bottom of the litter box and accidentally fall on the lid of the waste drawer as the cat litter ball rotates.
Please check and clean the waste drawer lid manually at regular intervals to prevent too much litter from falling and affecting the normal operation of the ChouBox. The sequences of Installing the silicone anti-adhesive pad
