IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:

1. When installing the inside mounting screws, make sure they are

only moderately tight. Over tightening will cause your Power Pet

door housing to conform to any irregularities in the flatness of

your door or wall and will cause the door panel to slow, stick or

malfunction. Do not use a power screwdriver. Use a manual screw

driver to tighten the screws until they stop. That is enough to ensure

that the installation is secure. Should your door panel malfunction

during the initial power up, loosen each mounting screw and re-test.

2. Note that screw covers (not pictured) are provided to finish the

screw holes. Once installed, the screw covers on the inside unit

may be removed by twisting CLOCKWISE using a coin or flat head

screwdriver. Twisting counter-clockwise will cause the screw covers

to break. Screw covers on the outside bezel may be removed by

prying off with a knife blade or thin flat object.

3. POWER PET DOOR OPERATION:

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. Downward speed is reduced

by an electronic brake applied to the reverse motion 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 and 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 binding

or other restriction slows the door closure to the point that it unnecessarily

retracts. See the AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT Section below for more

information.

AUTO DEAD BOLT LOCKING FEATURE

As shown in Figure 7, the POWER PET door uses a spring loaded locking

pin which automatically snaps into its retaining hole when the movable panel

comes to rest in the closed position. The pin can only be released when the

motor applies tension to the cable. This makes it impossible for even the most

clever animals (and people) to raise the panel mechanically.
