External Light Sensor Cable for VSB (old) Chicken House Door Opener and VSD (new) Door Opener Units. The Light Sensor cable has a blue stripe around the end to distinguish it from the Status Cables and Remote Cables.

If you want to convert a VSD Door Opener for internal use, this is the cable you need, or, if you just need to replace an existing cable on either a VSB or VSD.

The cable is 1m in length and houses a photocell in one end, also included is a black cap for covering the photocell on the circuit board inside the unit. You simply attach the cable to two of the pins inside the operating box, cover the internal (on-board) light sensor, place the external light sensor on the outside of your house and it will then close the door at dusk.

Light Sensors carry a one-year warranty. (FSF note: for purchases of sensor cable made after 2nd June 2017 the new cable will have a blue stripe around the end sensor. In this case, then the wires MUST be connected thus - white wire to Pin 6 and brown wire to Pin 5).

Works like a dream, it helps keep the coop door open longer as the coop is behind shed. Door opener and extension light sensor are perfect togethet

Great support

Really helpful advice from Flyte So Fancy when my 10 year old door opener suddenly stopped working. Turns out the light sensor had failed and it thought it was constant daylight. Cutting off the old sensor and plugging in an 'external' sensor (which remains in the box) was the work of seconds and now I have a fully functioning door opener again at a fraction of the cost of a replacement. Very quick, very helpful... couldn't ask for more.

Great new sensor but cable a little short?

The new sensor works great but the cable is a bit shorter than my old so has been more difficult to position in the light.

Never yet let me down

I have the reassurance that if delayed for any reason getting back before dusk, providing the chickens are content to roost, no harm can befall them. The light sensor works reliably with the VSD unit

External Light Sensor Cable for VSB/VSD Units

AS ADVERTISED AND SUPPLIED WITH A COMPLETE FIXING INSTRUCTION BOOKLET WITH PHOTOGRAPHS - EXCELLENT. I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE HAVE A LIMITED LIFE SPAN WHICH IS A PITY - BUT THEY DO WORK WELL DURING THEIR LIFETIME.
PERHAPS MY PREVIOUS FAILURE WAS A ONE OFF - TIME WILL TELL.

Great items. All working well. Very quickly dispatched and received. Works well to allow the timer to control the door opener according to the time we want the chickens out in the morning.

External Light Sensor Cable for VSB/VSD Units

Never have any problems, always provide fast service. They may not be the cheapest, I don't know either way, but I prefer to stick with who I know for the service. If anywhere near them down in Dorset it's worth dropping in to have a look round. The first one I bought a few years ago with the door opener was fine & lasted a while but they are now failing too regularly for my liking (maybe there's a build quality issue that needs addressing) I gave a "good" rating for AXT products as a whole as they are good but I'm concerned about individual parts quality. Also, if you go to the AXT European site they list the sensor at 8 Euros with delivery at 2 Euros bring the total to £7.60 inc tax but when you select the British part of the site the price jumps to nearly £12.............curious !!
