OPERATION
9.1
FIRST STEPS
After having successfully installed your petWALK pet door, the door is ready for operation. After
connecting the door to the current (AC adapter plugged in or flush-mount power supply after
switching on the current), the petWALK pet door is in
Operating Mode
. The display should look
like this:
The red illuminated ring on the display of the pet door signals this sleep state.
The petWALK pet door has a built in accumulator, which ensures that your pets can come back
into the home and that the pet door is firmly closed in case of a power failure (see also Chapter
emergency operation in case of power failure). This battery is pre-charged at the factory.
NOTE!
Despite factory pre-charging, the charging level of battery might
be low when the door module is powered on the first time (plug in
power).
Therefore, the battery voltage of the pet door is monitored at the
start. If it is too low, the pet door will be charged for at least 30 –
60 minutes. This is shown with the sign
LOAD
on the display. In this
state, all other LEDs remain dark. After this time, the display will
look as shown above.
Until reaching the optimum state of charge, the power light flashes
green. Depending on the workload of the door, this condition can
last for several hours.
Charging may be interrupted by pressing the
OK
button on the
remote control, but is not recommended.
An interruption of the charging time cannot cause damage to the
pet door.
Basically, your pet door is now ready for use. Now we explain the meaning of the light symbols
on the display and the remote control to you.
