Battery Installation
To install the battery, open the battery compartment, and align the two
battery lugs with the two lug sockets on the inner wall of the battery
compartment. Then press the battery to mate it to the sockets. When
done the battery should be flush with the wall, and the compartment
cover should fit comfortably over the installed battery.
An installed battery is automatically charged whenever the AC Adaptor is
powering the door.
Battery Status Indicators
The OK light is illuminated when the battery is more than one-third charged.
The LOW light illuminates when the battery is less than one-third
charged.
Note that during door opening these indicators may reverse for a
few seconds when the battery is below one-half charge. This is nor-
mal and gives a little advance notice of an impending low battery.
Battery Operation
Whenever AC Power is unavailable and a charged battery is installed, the
front panel indicators go into a low power mode where they blink every
four seconds instead of remaining on continuously. This feature allows
the battery to power the door for up to two months or 500 openings.
ADVANCED FEATURES
INTRINSICALLY SAFE OPERATION
The POWER PET electronic pet door is intrinsically safe. It uses an
electric motor and cable drive to lift the door panel. The panel remains
open until the pet collar signal is gone, indicating that your pet is clear
of the opening. When the pet collar signal is gone, power to the motor is
turned off and the panel is returned by the force of gravity only. Down-
ward speed is reduced by an electronic brake applied to the reverse mo-
tion of the motor. This brake operates with or without electrical power.
Because the panel is returned by simple gravity, the maximum force
that can be applied by the panel when it is closing is limited to its own
weight. The door panel weighs only about 2 lbs.
AUTO RETRACT FEATURE
As an added safety feature, the POWER PET also has a sensing system
that automatically raises the panel should it encounter an obstruction
on the way down. This feature can be defeated in the unusual case that
