You are now the proud owner of a PetSafe
pet will enjoy the freedom that this pet door brings to both of you.
Infra red signals are electromagnetic rays having a wavelength lower than that of visible light
and cannot therefore be seen. Your pet collar key transmits a digital coded infra red signal
which is decoded when the key comes within range of your pet door permitting only pets
with keys of same code to enter the house. There is a choice of four codes for dogs and four
codes for cats, each color coded.
The range of the key is dependent on the reflection off the immediate surrounds
such as your pet's fur, the floor, the pet door and other walls or surfaces. Infra red
signals cannot pass through walls or most other objects but our patented
reflection system will give you approximately 6 In (15cm) of range for the cat door
key. However the better the reflective surfaces around your pet door, the larger the
range of the collar key. Strong sunlight will affect the range of the collar key. It is
strongly recommended not to fit the pet door where it is exposed to strong
sunlight conditions. The optional cat door tunnel should always be fitted when
installing the Infra Red cat door.
Use the recommended batteries and install them correctly in the key housing and
the pet door. In normal conditions the collar key batteries should last one year. The
dog door has a manual switch to save battery power when the door is not in use.
Your dog door batteries will last approximately three months on continuous power.
The cat door batteries will last approximately one year. The cat door has an
optional power adapter kit.
When setting the relatch timer or programming new keys, follow the instruction guide but if
you get into difficulties remove one of the pet door batteries and after a minute start again
from the beginning.
The pet door autotunes to the first key presented to it. Once that color coded key is placed
in the memory no other color coded key will be recognized by the pet door. If you have
more than one pet, you will need to purchase more keys of the same color code and if you
lose a key, buy a replacement of the same color. If it is a different color you will need to
remove the batteries from the door for a minute and autotune again.
The relatch timer can be set for between 2 and 20 seconds. If your pet travels through the
pet door at speed you should set a short time but a timid or older pet may be quite slow and
a longer reset time would be appropriate. After setting the timer do not forget to press the
manual button twice to get back to automatic mode. When the door is in automatic mode,
the latch is normally in the locked position. If the door latch is open, a further push of the
manual button is required to set automatic mode.
