DOOR TEST GUIDANCE

Q: When I block the light sensor, why doesn’t the door close?
A: Check the below two possible reasons:

1. DO NOT use fingers to DIRECTLY cover the light sensor to test the door movement! This will fail this test! Because if the sunlight is bright enough (i.e. at noon), there still will be a little sunlight can pass through your finger and be captured by the light sensor, which will cause the sensor think it is not dark enough to close the door So ONLY use a thick dark cloth or box to cover the light sensor!
2. 2. Manual mode – If you have tested the manual open mode(pressing the UP button for 3 seconds to manual open the door) BEFORE you test the light sensor, the light sensor test may will fail. Because the manual open mode is the override control, once you use the manual mode to open the door, the door will stay in manual open status for a period of time (*the duration depends on the sunlight brightness and other factors) until it reaches the “manual mode exit condition”, then the system will exit the manual control mode and return back to the automatic control mode. The light sensor test won’t work in the manual mode and will only work after exitting the manual mode and returning back to the automatic control mode. Under this condition, if you want to test the light sensor, two solutions:
   • wait to the next day and test the light sensor again by blocking the sensor for 2 minutes, then the door will automatically close. (This is the recommended method as it is easier.)
   • restore to the initial factory settings by press the and DOWN at the same time for 3 seconds. This operation will clear all the user settings. Then start over to set the current time and other operation values, BUT DO NOT test the manual open mode before you test the light sensor, otherwise the door won’t close, you can test the manual open mode later after you complete the light sensor test. Follow above tips to block the light sensor for 2 minutes, the door will automatically close.

3. Slide the aluminum door into rails and check if it can move up & down freely on the rails.
   IMPORTANT NOTE: Check if the door can move up and down freely on the rails. If not, it will cause the battery to drain very quickly and may trigger the “DOOR JAMMED” warning message.

4. Align !he control box above !he door on the coop, ensuring that !he lifting cord al the base of the control box is straight above the metal door without any bends. Allow a gap of at least 3-4 Inch es between the bottom of the control box and the top of the aluminum door when the door is in the fully open position. When the control box is at the appropriate height and the lifting cord is aligned exactly vertical above the metal door, mount the control box to the coop with 4 screws, included.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALL THE 4 X AA BATTERIES:

1. Open the black rubber cap on the right side of the control box and gently pull out the battery holder.
2. Install 4 pcs AA(1.5V) batteries
3. Use ONLY Alkaline A batteries. DO NOT use carbon zinc batteries. Use of 9V or rechargeable batteries can damage or destroy the unit.
4. When the batteries need changing(less than 5% battery life), the red LED on the front panel will blink continuously, and the screen will display “Replace battery soon”, this message will remain until new batteries are installed.

CURRENT TIME SETTING:
Once the batteries have been installed, the system will ask to set current time. This is a 24-hour clock system. Press UP or DOWN to set the hour value, then press  to advance to the minute value setting. Then press y to save the time and exit to the main screen.

NOTE: To update the clock in the future, press and hold and UP simultaneously for 3 seconds to reset the current time.

DOOR CALIBRATION:
After setting the current time, return to the main screen and set the door position calibration, so the control box can access to the “door open” and “door close” positions. If the control box has not yet been calibrated, the “CAL” icon will blink on the left corner of the screen and the red LED will flash every 5 seconds. In order for the door to be able to open and close automatically, the control box requires manual calibration of the door opening and closing position prior to use.

CAUTION!

When the opener is fully installed on your coop, please follow these steps to calibrate the door position:

1. Press and hold for 3 seconds to enter setting mode. “Operation Mode” will flash on the screen. Then press the UP button to scroll to “Door Calibrate” mode and press the button to select it.

Press UP or DOWN lo move the door to your fully desired open position. When the door has moved ta the fully open position, press  ta save it. (REMINDER: TI,ere must be at least o 3-4 inch gap between the bottom of the control box and the lop of the metal door when the door is in the fully open position)
3. Once the OPEN POSITION colibro1ion is completed, the system will guide you to the CLOSED POSITION calibration. The screen will display the following instructions. Press UP to lower the door to the fully closed position. When the door hos moved lo the fully dosed position, press to sove it and exit the colibrotion mode.
4. Once the door calibration is complete, the door will automatically open to 1he programmed fully open position. NOTE: If the door stayed closed ofter the calibration was completed, the calibration seH. ings were not successfully saved. The calibration steps will need to be repeated.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RECALIBRATION

Any time the batteries are removed, the system will forget the door position information. Remember to recalibrate the door position each time you replace the batteries, otherwise the door will not move and the red light will continue flashing.
