WiFi Power Pet Door
INTRODUCTION:
Product Description: Your new WiFi 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 flap door. Your new Power Pet door
features an attractive, highstrength 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 door 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 advantages 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 door’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.
Typically, the ultrasonic signal is bounced off the ground in the direction
which your pet is facing. This means that surfaces which are highly reflective
such as tile and linoleum will result in a longer working range than
acoustically absorbent surfaces such as carpeting. 
INSTALLING YOUR WiFi POWER PET DOOR
Your WiFi POWER PET door package includes:
- One Pet Transmitter Collar {Model MS-5 Standard Ultrasonic Transmitter Collar)
- 110 volt AC Adapter
- Outside Bezel
- All Required Hardware
Please Note: {Wall Adapter Tunnel, Rechargeable Battery, Battery Charger Kit and Extra Transmitter Collars are sold separately.)
Your Power Pet door mounts flush 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 an existing door up to 1 ¾” thick there is no framing necessary.
The pre-made Outside Bezel that came with your Power Pet door will provide a
finished 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 finished opening not including the frame.
Dimensions of the frame you build should be added to the opening size to
determine the final size of the hole you cut in your wall.

FRAMING THE OPENING
To frame your opening we highly recommend you purchase the optional Wall
Tunnel which will make framing easy for a professional quality job. If you
choose to make your own frame, note that the rough opening dimensions apply to
the inside dimensions of your frame as shown below.
Final cut out size should include the thickness of any additional
wall framing (not required for door mount or when using optional wall mount
kit)
MOUNTING YOUR WiFi POWER PET DOOR
This is the easy part. Install the POWER PET and Outside Frame as shown
below.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
When installing the inside mounting screws, make sure they are only moderately tight. Overtightening will cause your Power Pet door housing to conform to any irregularities in the flatness of your door or wall and may 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.
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 flathead 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.
WiFi POWER PET DOOR OPERATION:
In addition to all the features of our acclaimed Power Pet Door, the WiFi
Power Pet door includes full setup, control and monitoring of the door using a
smart phone. It also includes fully automatic daily and weekly timers to
reactivate your pet’s ability to enter and leave the house or building at
particular times.
NOTE: For proper operation of the WiFi features, the Door must be within
range of your home WiFi and have access to the internet through that WiFi.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE OPERATION
The WiFi Power 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 door 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 restrictions slows the door closure to the point that it unnecessarily retracts. See the AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT Section below for more information.
AUTO DEADBOLT LOCKING FEATURE
As shown in Figure 7, the 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.
TWO POWER CHOICES:
- AC Powered Only: Your WiFi Power Pet door comes standard with a 110 Volt AC Wall Adaptor that plugs into a nearby wall outlet. The adapter cable then plugs into one of the two jacks on the bottom left and right sides of the door frame.
- AC with Battery Back-up: You may purchase our B12V-1.3 battery and install it in the Battery Compartment shown on page 1. Thereafter the door will automatically switch to battery power whenever an AC power outage occurs. This battery will power the door for several days by itself. When power is restored, the AC adapter resumes powering the door, and automatically recharge the backup battery so it is ready ready for the next power loss.
NOTE: When operating the WiFi Power Pet door under Battery Power (AC power loss), the WiFi link is turned off after five minutes – to extend the battery life. Thus you can not remotely monitor, control, or configure the door unless someone physically presses the OPEN button on the door and then you link your Smart Phone app to it with 5 minutes. Once linked, the app will work for as long as you continue to use it. All other features of the door, including Automatic Timers, work normally no matter how you power the door.
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
AUTO TIMERS Button: The AUTO timers button enables or disables the entire
auto-timer system which is configured by the Power Pet smartphone app. A Timer
automatically controls the inside and outside sensors, based on a schedule set
in the Power Pet app. See the app for more information. This feature should be
turned off until you set it up with the app.
REMOTE CONTROL: The Wifi Power Pet door can be remotely monitored and
controlled via the Power Pet smartphone app. See the app for more information.
POWER PET APP: The Power Pet app is available on the Apple App Store for
iPhone, or the Google Play Store for Android. Search for “Power Pet” on your
app store.
RESETTING THE WiFi POWER PET DOOR TO FACTORY DEFAULTS:
CAUTION: Resetting the Pet door will remove saved WiFi settings, and the door must be added to the App as a new door.
You may reset the WiFi Power Pet door to factory default settings by turning the door off and then holding down all three of the top buttons (ON/OFF, OPEN, AUTO) for 15 seconds. When all lights begin to blink, release all three buttons and the door will restart with the factory default settings.
Reset Door To Factory Default Settings
Dual RANGE Controls: Individual range control to allow you to adjust different 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 5th and 7th dot. When you first install the Power Pet door set both range control knobs at about 6th dot, 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. Specifically some sprinklers, lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners can put
out enough noise to temporarily mask the collar signal. The
Power Pet 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 flicker or flash on. This means you may want to decrease the INSIDE
knob setting slightly. Likewise, whenever the OUTSIDE noise is too high, the
OUTSIDE light will flicker or flash on. This means you may want to decrease
slightly the OUTSIDE knob setting. A little flickering once in a while is
normal. A lot of flickering or continuous flashing means the knob 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’s collar has moved through the opening,
the panel Holds Up for a few seconds longer to allow slow pets to get their
body completely through the opening. The Hold up Time can be configured for 2
seconds, 4 seconds, or 6
seconds using the
instructions above. Once the pet is used to going through the door, 2 seconds
is usually adequate. During the introduction of the pet to the door, 4 or 6
seconds can be used so as to not spook the pet with the closing noise
HOLD OPEN FEATURE: If you wish to leave the door open for an extended
time period, use the Hold Open Feature. This allows the door to remain open as
long as power is available.
Note that this feature requires the motor to be 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
first pressing the ON/OFF button until all the lights are off. Leave the door
powered by the AC adapter or battery when you do this. Then while holding down
the OPEN button, press and release the OUTSIDE SENSOR button. The OUTSIDE
light will blink to indicate the feature has been disabled. Press the ON
button to resume normal door operation.
Enabling the Auto Retract Feature: You may enable the Automatic
Safety Retract feature at any time. Do this by first pressing the ON/OFF
button until all the lights are off. Leave the door powered by the AC adapter
or battery when you do this. Then while holding down the OPEN button, press
and release the INSIDE SENSOR button. The INSIDE light will blink to indicate
the feature has been enabled. Press the ON button to resume normal door
operation.

Extra MS-5 Ultrasonic Collar
Digital circuitry in this state of the art de-sign provides a
strong signal and maintains accuracy over all temperature ranges. It is extra
rugged so it won’t get damaged during your dog’s “ruff housing”. With a
robust, fully enclosed ultrasonic transducer speaker, it is immersible to
6ft., and although we don’t recommend immersing your dog in 6 ft. of water
without scuba gear, the collar will stay high and dry! The MS-5 uses our
specially designed B-3V1A battery which lasts about 3 months and prevents
damage to the circuitry if the battery is installed incorrectly. Model: MS-5
