Switching between Locked, Unlocked and Automatic Modes
Pressing the Lock/Unlock/Auto button will cause the pet door to transition to one of the
three available modes:
‐ Auto
‐ Unlocked
‐ Locked.
If the Schedule mode is active when the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed, the current
schedule interval’s pet door mode is overridden. The mode selected by the pressing of
the Lock/Unlock/Auto button takes precedence over the scheduled mode. When the
start time of the next schedule interval is reached, the original scheduled mode will be
reinstated. This allows scheduled pet door modes to be manually superseded on a
temporary basis until the next schedule interval begins.
When the pet door is placed in Auto mode, it is automatically locked and will only unlock
in the presence of an authorized and programmed Computer Collar
®
comes within
proximity of the pet door. The pet door will relocked automatically when all programmed
collars are out of range for 10 seconds.
When the pet door is set to Manual Locked or Manual Unlocked mode, the pet door will
lock or unlock, as appropriate, and remain in that mode state until the next schedule
interval occurs (if Schedule is on) or when the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed.
When this mode is selected the proximity of an authorized Computer Collar
®
has no
effect on the pet door.
Each time the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed, the display advances to the next
mode, but does not physically change the state of the pet door to that specific mode.
Only when the Learn button is pressed or after no button is pressed for 20 seconds
does the pet door set to the specific selected mode.
If the pet door fails to set to the selected mode there are 3 reasons why the pet door
may fail to establish the connection:
‐ High door motor current (motor turning is being hindered in some way)
‐ Pet door timeout (it took more than 18 seconds to transition to the specified
mode)
‐ Pet door jams (the door is unable to close, usually caused by an obstruction)
If the connection fails to occur, the LCD display will display the error and the pet door
mode will show the actual state of the door instead of the specified mode. For example,
if the Lock/Unlock/Auto is pressed to change the door from unlocked to locked, and a
jam occurs, the door will indicate that a jam has occurred and remain unlocked. NOTE:
