SmartDoor ™ – The SmartDoor ™ is an intelligent receiver using an internal antenna to pick up a
unique SmartKey ™ code for selective pet entry and exit.
SmartDoor ™ Flap – The SmartDoor ™ fl ap is a weather resistant, plastic fl ap with UV
sun protection.
Antenna - The antenna is located inside the SmartDoor
™ and receives radio signals from the
SmartKey ™ . The SmartKey ™ must be located within a certain proximity of the antenna in order for
the unique code to be read.
Radio-frequency Interference – Radio-frequency interference is due to radio-frequency signals
from other household appliances or common electronic products that negatively affect the ability
of the SmartDoor ™ to receive a signal from a SmartKey ™ . Radio-frequency interference or “noise”
can come from a variety of sources. Interference can be minimal, constant or ever changing based
on usage and closeness of other electronic household items during SmartDoor ™ ’s operation. It is
recommended that household appliances and common electronic products be placed at least two
feet (60 cm) away from the SmartDoor ™ ’s location.
Sensitivity Knob – Conveniently placed on the interior frame of the SmartDoor ™ is the sensitivity
knob. You can easily adjust the SmartDoor ™ ’s sensitivity, taking into account common interferences
and environmental factors to optimize SmartDoor ™ operation.
Sensitivity Level – The level of sensitivity can be adjusted by turning the sensitivity knob
from minimum to maximum, depending on radio-frequency interference and the SmartDoor ™ ’s
application and/or location. Pre-set from the factory, the sensitivity level should not be adjusted
until after installation. For example, the sensitivity level may need to be increased if the
SmartDoor ™ is installed in a metal door. Reference page 10 for more information on how to
adjust sensitivity.
MODE-RESET Button – Easily select an Operational Mode on your SmartDoor
™ by holding the
MODE-RESET button to cycle through selections of operation: LOCKED, UNLOCKED or AUTOMATIC.
