ACTIVATE BACKUP BATTERY
Your petWALK pet door is also equipped with a backup battery, which ensures that your pets can
get into the house also in case of a power failure and the door never stays open unintentionally.
The backup battery is rated for 20 hours of emergency operation. If the petWALK pet door notes
that the backup battery is empty, it will lock the door and turns off.
That way you do not need to worry that your pet door remains
open.
Depending on the configuration of your door, the battery connector
might be unconnected at the time of delivery.
In order to activate this feature you only need to attach the battery
to the system by plugging in the white connector into the matching
female connector as shown on the right picture.
NOTE!
The backup battery is charged during operation. Basically, the
backup battery has a designed life span of about 6 years.
NOTE!
In case the backup battery might fail, the door will continue to
operate and signal the problem.

CONNECTION TO YOUR ALARM SYSTEM
For the integration of the petWALK pet door into your alarm system the connecting cables can
be ordered pre-installed or retrofitted later on.
Three wires are available for the potential-free connection.
Please get in contact with the manufacturer of your alarm system to find out, if the pet door
needs to be connected as normally open (NO) (in closed state of the pet door, the contact is
interrupted) or normally closed (NC) (the switch is closed when the pet door is closed).
After connecting the appropriate cables, the petWALK pet door will
always
behave like a closed
window, except it is opened wantonly.
NOTE!
Besides the connection to your alarm system the petWALK
pet door offers a built in alarm system a well. This triggers
an alarm if noticing a willful opening. On the display the
alarm message is shown
A0
(See error messages).
CAUTION!
Depending on the kind of connection to the alarm system,
the cable remains unused. This cable can be shortened at
will. Please make sure that the end is insulated with
electrical duct tape.
