Pet Door Operation:

When the pet door is plugged in it will start up and be ready to operate immediately. You can plug

the transformer into either the right side of the pet door or the left side of the pet door, depending on

where your electrical outlet is located. The pet door is preprogrammed at the factory to open for the

2 collar keys included with the pet door. Placing the collar key in the antenna sensing area will

open the pet door. The pet door will open for 9 seconds and then close. This open time is set at the

factory. You can set the pet door to remain open for 1 second to 15 seconds. See Diagram #8 for

detailed instructions on changing pet door open times.

Turn On Pet Door:

Plug the transformer into an outlet. This will automatically turn on the pet door.

If the pet door has been turned off by using the Black Power Button, then simply press the Black

Power Button and the door will be in the On/Ready State. After a power outage when the power

comes back on the pet door will automatically reset itself to ON/Ready State.

On/Ready State Indicator:

The blue ON/OFF Light is on and blinking every 1.5 seconds. The pet

door is on and waiting to read a collar key to open for your pet.

Turn Off Pet Door:

Push the Black Power Button and hold for 3 seconds.

OFF State Indicator:

When the pet door is off, but receiving power, the Blue ON/OFF Light will

blink every 3 seconds.

No Power:

If the pet door is not receiving power, none of the lights will be on or blinking. When

power is restored or reconnected the pet door will automatically reset itself to ON/Ready State.

Blue ON/OFF Light will go to solid and there will be a muted beeping approximately once per sec-

ond. The Green Program Button will also be blinking, but this will not be visible as it is behind the

panel cover.
If the item that is blocking the panel from closing is removed before the 3rd attempt the pet door will

automatically complete its cycle and return to ON/Read State.
Remove the item blocking the pet door and then press the Black Power Button to reset.

2) Attempted Forced Opening of Pet Door

- If someone tries to force the panel up to open

the pet door the Blue ON/OFF Light will start flashing and there will be a constant alarm beep ap-

proximately 2 times per second.
To reset the door simply press the Black Power Button and the door will return to ON/Ready State.
