The patented Infrared Motion Sensor Technology detects motion within ten inches. The actual sensor that controls the opening mechanism is perfectly located. The location of the sensor insures that the lid to the trash can does not open each time a person or animal nears the trash can. Instead, the sensor is located on top of the can and motion must be above the sensor in order to activate the lid opening.
How does the Motion Sensor Trash Can operate? The Motion Sensor Trash Cans are battery operated. Each trash can will get a minimum of 10,000 open and closings before new batteries are required. In most households, that amount of openings and closings means the batteries should last a minimum of six months and could last up to a year.
