Litter-Robot 4: Cycle delay setting

The cycle delay, is the elapsed time starting from when your cat exits the globe until the unit starts a Clean cycle. It can be set for 3, 7, 15, 25, or 30 minutes. The default cycle delay is 7 minutes. 

This feature is also available in the Whisker app.

You can reduce the cycle delay if it is important to minimize odor and/or the time that waste is available to other pets, such as dogs. 

However, reducing the cycle delay may reduce the cleaning effectiveness if clumps do not have enough time to set, or clump. Extend the cycle delay when using a lower-quality clumping litter that needs more time to set.
