How the SmartDoor
™
Works
Using radio-frequency technology, the SmartDoor
™
reads a SmartKey
™
’s unique signal and triggers
a battery power-driven flap to unlock so your pets can come and go as they please. When the
SmartDoor
™
no longer senses your pets’ SmartKey
™
, the flap automatically locks back into place.
The SmartDoor
™
can detect up to five programmed SmartKeys
™
and also operates in two other
modes: fully locked mode and unlocked mode.
Install the SmartDoor
™
Through a Wall with the
SmartDoor
™
Conversion Kit
SmartDoor
™
Conversion Kits are available for wall installation applications. The wall extension
conversion kit frames out exposed areas, giving your door installation a clean, smooth, finished
look. For brick, concrete or block wall construction an additional extension is available for the
large conversion kit. Note: The SmartDoor
™
Conversion Kit Small is designed to be recessed into
the brick and does not require additional tunnel extensions. You may purchase a SmartDoor
™
Conversion Kit or large extensions through selected online websites, www.petsafe.net or by calling
our Customer Care Center. See “Replacement Parts” on page 12.
Key Definitions
Radio-Frequency Technology – The use of a radio-frequency signal that can be transmitted
without wires.
SmartKey
™
– A SmartKey
™
is a battery-operated transmitter that sends a unique code to
the SmartDoor
™
.
SmartDoor
™
– The SmartDoor
™
is an intelligent receiver using an internal antenna to pick up a
unique SmartKey
™
code for selective pet entry and exit.
SmartDoor
™
Flap – The SmartDoor
™
flap is a weather resistant, plastic flap with UV
sun protection.
Antenna - The antenna is located inside the SmartDoor
™
and receives radio signals from the
SmartKey
™
. The SmartKey
™
must be located within a certain proximity of the antenna in order for
the unique code to be read.
Radio-frequency Interference – Radio-frequency interference is due to radio-frequency signals
from other household appliances or common electronic products that negatively affect the ability
of the SmartDoor
™
to receive a signal from a SmartKey
™
. Radio-frequency interference or “noise”
can come from a variety of sources. Interference can be minimal, constant or ever changing based
on usage and closeness of other electronic household items during SmartDoor
™
’s operation. It is
recommended that household appliances and common electronic products be placed at least two
feet (60 cm) away from the SmartDoor
™
’s location.
Sensitivity Knob – Conveniently placed on the interior frame of the SmartDoor
™
is the sensitivity
knob. You can easily adjust the SmartDoor
™
’s sensitivity, taking into account common interferences
and environmental factors to optimize SmartDoor
™
operation.
Sensitivity Level – The level of sensitivity can be adjusted by turning the sensitivity knob
from minimum to maximum, depending on radio-frequency interference and the SmartDoor
™
’s
application and/or location. Pre-set from the factory, the sensitivity level should not be adjusted
until after installation. For example, the sensitivity level may need to be increased if the
SmartDoor
™
is installed in a metal door. Reference page 10 for more information on how to
adjust sensitivity.
MODE-RESET Button – Easily select an Operational Mode on your SmartDoor
™
by holding the
MODE-RESET button to cycle through selections of operation: LOCKED, UNLOCKED or AUTOMATIC.
LEARN Button – The LEARN button programs a SmartKey
™
’s unique code to be read by the
SmartDoor
™
. (One) SmartKey
™
comes programmed and ready to use. You may program up to five
SmartKeys
™
(each sold separately) to one SmartDoor
™
.
Operational Modes
LOCKED Mode – The SmartDoor
™
flap is locked and does not allow entry or exit for any pet.
UNLOCKED Mode – The SmartDoor
™
flap is unlocked and allows entry and exit for all pets.
AUTOMATIC Mode – The SmartDoor
™
flap is electronically locked and allows entry and exit for
the pet wearing a programmed SmartKey
™
.
Battery Compartment – The battery compartment is located on the Interior Frame and requires
(four) D-cell (LR20) batteries. Installation mounting screws, key ring, SmartKey
™
and the (one)
RFA-67 battery are all located inside the battery box during shipping for your convenience.

™
and is replaceable. Additional
