Power Pet Door®
INSTALLATION & OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION:
Product Description:
Your new POWER PET
Electronic Pet Door is
like no other pet door
made. Genuine POWER
PET®electronic pet
doors are fully automatic,
motor driven and open
completely under their
own power. Activated by
an ultrasonic pet collar,
your new POWER PET
door will keep out stray
animals. It is secure
against wind, rain, cold
and snow and provides
much better insulation
than a conventional ap
door. Your new POWER PET door features an attractive, high-strength
door panel that quickly and quietly powers upward disappearing into the
stylish housing. Your pets are empowered to come and go as they please
while their animal friends are politely asked to stay out.
POWER PET doors increase home security with a special automatic,
dead bolt locking feature that guards against would-be intruders. Only the
coded Signal from your pet’s collar will open the Power Pet door.
Only Power Pet doors feature an ingenious directional sensing system
that operates a fully automatic, motor driven panel. The signal emitted
from your pet’s collar tells the Power Pet door how far away your pet is
and the direction in which your pet is traveling. This allows the Power Pet
to work like magic, opening only when your pet is on a direct approach,
not when it is just wandering by and not when it is sitting or sleeping next
to the door.

BASIC PET DOOR OPERATION:
Your POWER PET door uses our
Patented directional ultrasonic sensing
system. This system has great advan-
tages over magnetic or radio transmitter
collars.
Magnetic collars have a very limited
range making it tough to train the pet to
operate the door. Radio systems have
good range but open whenever the
animal is within that range, even if the pet
is sitting, sleeping or just wandering by.
The Power Pet’s directional ultrasonic
system overcomes these problems. The
Pet worn ultrasonic collar emits a highly directional signal, which is received
by the microphone only when your pet is directly facing the door opening.
The unit is not likely to trigger if your pet is just wandering by.
2. INSTALLING YOUR POWER PET DOOR
Your POWER PET door package includes:
•(3)Pet Transmitter Collars(Model MS-5Rugged Ultrasonic
Transmitter Collar)
•110 volt AC Adapter
•CRG-12V-2B Rechargeable Battery Kit
•(12) B-3V1A Batteries (For Your MS-5 Collars)
•Outside Bezel
•All Required Hardware
(Wall Adapter Tunnel, is sold separately.)
Your POWER PET door mounts lush to any door or wall. The hardest
part of installing the POWER
PET door is cutting the hole.
If the unit is to be mounted in
a door up to 1 ¾“ thick there
is no framing necessary. The
pre-made Outer Frame that
came with your POWER PET
door will provide a nished
look to the opening. If you
are installing your POWER
PET door in a wall, it is

advisable to build a frame around the opening or order our convenient
WALL ADAPTER TUNNEL. The hole dimensions given below are for the
nished opening not including the frame. Dimensions of the frame you
build should be added to the opening size to determine the nal size of
the hole you cut in your wall.
POSITIONING THE OPENING ON DOOR OR WALL:
Note: If you have multiple pets of di󰀨erent sizes use the positioning
method above based upon the size of your largest pet.

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 atness 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 nish the
screw holes. Once installed, the screw covers on the inside unit
may be removed by twisting CLOCKWISE using a coin or at head
screwdriver. Twisting counter-clockwise will cause the screw covers
to break. Screw covers on the outside bezel may be removed by
prying o󰀨 with a knife blade or thin at 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 o󰀨 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.

THREE DIFFERENT POWER CHOICES: Your new POWER PET®Door
may be operated in three di󰀨erent power modes.
1. 110 volt AC Wall Outlet: Your standard POWER PETTM Door
comes standard with a U.L. approved ac adapter. Plug the adapter
into a nearby wall outlet for continuous operation.
2. AC with Battery Back-up: You may purchase an optional
rechargeable battery for use along with your ac adapter. If your
household electricity should ever fail, your POWER PETTM Door
will automatically switch over to battery operation. When power is
restored, the ac adapter will automatically recharge your battery.
3. Full Battery Operation: You may also operate your POWER
PETTM Door with the battery only. This eliminates the need for
the ac adapter or any electrical power connection. However, you
will need to recharge the battery periodically. (Recharge interval
varies depending upon use.) In this case, we recommend that
you purchase the optional battery and a battery charger kit. With
the charger kit you get a battery charger and an extra battery.
Use one battery in your Power Pet door and keep the other in
the charger. When your door battery runs low, just swap.
CONTROL PANEL
4 WAY ACCESS CONTROL: Individual activation buttons for the inside
and outside sensors give you a 4-way access control system. You can
allow your pet to come in but not go out, go out but not come in, come in
and out or close and lock the door altogether

DUAL RANGE CONTROLS: Individual range control to allow you to
adjust di󰀨erent activation distances for inside and outside of your home.
(Usually, it’s a good idea to use a short inside distance of a foot or two
and a longer 4 to 5 foot distance outside.) Your new Power Pet door
gives you full control.
Normal setting of the range knob is between the markings 2nd and 4th dot.
When you rst install the Power Pet door set both range control knobs at
about “3” and then while loosely holding the strap of the collar, move the
hanging collar back and forth toward the door to determine the range at
which it opens. Increase the knob position slightly to get longer range.
Decrease the knob slightly to get shorter range. Just as your hearing of a
conversation can be overpowered by loud noises such as a lawn mower,
the door sensors can also be overpowered by loud ultrasonic noises.
Specically, some sprinklers, lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners can
put out enough noise to temporarily mask the collar signal. The Power
Pet door door has a unique feature which indicates when the background
noise level is too high. Whenever the INSIDE noise is too loud, the INSIDE
light will icker or ash on. This means you may want to decrease the
INSIDE knob setting slightly. Whenever the OUTSIDE noise is too high,
the OUTSIDE light will icker or ash on. This means you may want to
decrease slightly the OUTSIDE knob setting. A little ickering once in a
while is normal. A lot of ickering or continuous ashing means the knobs
is set too high.
AUTOMATIC CLOSE CONTROL: Your Power Pet door Features a smart
sensing circuit that keeps the door panel open as long as it is receiving the
signal from your pet’s collar. Once your pet has moved completely through
the opening, the panel immediately closes.

HOLD OPEN FEATURE: If you wish to leave the door open for an extended
time period, use the Hold Open Feature. This allows the doo remain open
as long as power is available.
To enable the feature, press and hold the ON button. Then press the
OPEN button. Note that this feature requires motor is energized the entire
time the door is open. So, if using only a battery to power the door, and you
do not have an AC Power Adaptor plugged into the door, use this feature
sparingly to keep from discharging the battery in just a few hours
AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT: Your Power Pet door is intrinsically safe
for all pets and people, including small children. The door panel weighs less
than 2 lbs. and is closed smoothly by gravity (not the motor) and is too light
to cause any physical injury. However, just to be doubly safe around infants,
we’ve included an automatic safety retract feature. This feature causes the
panel to instantly retract if it encounters an obstruction during closure.

Disabling the Auto Retract Feature: Under unusual conditions, such as
a warped wall mounting, the door sometimes may close so slowly that the
auto-retract feature triggers the door to re-open unnecessarily. In these
cases it may be desirable to defeat the Automatic Safety Retract feature.
Do this by rst pressing the OFF button to turn o󰀨 the door controls and
all the lights. Leave the door powered by the AC adapter or battery when
you do this. Then while holding down the MANUAL OPEN button, press
and release the OUTSIDE SENSOR button. The OUTSIDE light will blink
to indicate the feature has been disabled.
Enabling the Auto Retract Feature: You may enable the Automatic
Safety Retract feature at any time. Do this by rst pressing the OFF button
to turn o󰀨 the door controls and all the lights. Leave the door powered by
the AC adapter or battery when you do this. Then while holding down the
MANUAL OPEN button, press and release the INSIDE SENSOR button.
The INSIDE light will blink to indicate the feature has been enabled. Press
the POWER ON button to resume normal door operation.
