ABSTRACT:
A control circuit for unlatching a door, particularly a pet door, includes a transmitter coil (L1), a pulse driver (11) for pulse energizing the coil, and a discriminator (12, 13) for detecting a.c. components in the coil current caused by currents induced in an outside tuned circuit brought adjacent the coil, e.g. around the neck of a pet seeking entry, and for comparing the frequency of the a.c. components with a standard. A latch drive circuit (14) responds to the discriminator for operating the door latch if the frequency comparison is satisfactory.
