Always install the SOLO PET DOOR from the inside
portion of the door. Only the black trim will mount on the outside surface of
the door.
1) Take white and black trims off before
installation
2)Put pet door into position. Stand the pet door frame
against the inside of the house door at the desired height. Use phone books or
other suitable objects to hold the pet door in position. With a pencil, scribe
an outline around the outside of the metal frame of the pet door onto the house
door.
3)Mark Cutout. With the frame in the same position, lift the
sliding pet door ( by pulling on its cable) into the open position. Scribe a
rectangle on the interior side of the house door, tracking around the inside
opening of the metal frame. This rectangle will become the opening through to
the outside. Remove the pet door frame from the door. You should now have two
rectangles drawn on the door.
4)
Cut Opening. Remove the metal pet door frame. Drill four holes, one at each
corner of the smaller rectangle. Go outside and mark with a straight edge, a
similar rectangular opening using the holes as a guide for the corners. Mark
opening 1/4" larger, all the way around, so as to allow exterior black trim to
fit smoothly. Cut opening.
5)
Drill six mounting Holes. Prepare for mounting the metal frame by drilling six
holes through the door as shown.
6)Attach Pet Door Frame to the Door. Put pet door frame back into
position. Insert 4 (four) screws that hold the black trim to the frame. this
will center the exterior trim in the opening and temporarily hold the pet door
frame against the house door. check that metal frame is square with hose door.
Drill small pilot holes into the metal frame for the two top screws. Insert to
top screws from the outside through the house door into the metal pet door frame
7) Final Steps. Attach white interior trim panel to metal frame. white
trim can be trimmed if necessary with a knife or saw to match edge of frame.
Plug pet door power cord into 120 Volt, 60 Hz power receptacle. Turn on power
switch. Door should open and close ( one time) when first turned on.
That's it, you're done!!
Solo Pet Door
Sensitivity and Open-Time
Settings
The Solo Pet Door is electronically programmed to
operate ONLY ONCE EACH 20 SECONDS.
The pet's magnet must move in order
to activate the door. The sensitivity is initially set at the factory to
activate the door at approximately 3 feet ( adjustable) and to stay open for
approximately 3 seconds ( also adjustable).
Adjustment of sensitivity and
timing may be useful for special circumstances. For example, if one wants to let
the dog out while keeping a cat inside ( or out), the sensitivity can be
decreased and the door open-time reduced.
Remove the whit plastic trim
panel to gain access to the receiver electronics module. Follow these
procedures.
SENSITIVITY. Once your pet is
comfortable with operating the door (usually within one week), it is time to
adjust the door to activate at a closer distance - perhaps at 18 inches. To
adjust the distance accurately and correctly, please follow the steps as
listed.
1) Hold the collar magnet in your hand at approximately the same
height as your pet would wear it.
2) Hold the magnet 3 feet away from the
pet door.
3) Gently flip wrist up and down and sideways as if the animal
were approaching the pet door. If the door does not open, Carefully move 6
inches closer and repeat. NOTE: you have to wait 20 seconds each time the door
opens before it can again be opened.
4) To decrease sensitivity, using a
small screwdriver, turn the recessed white SENSITIVITY control counter-clockwise
SLIGHTLY. DO NOT FORCE.
TIMING. The pet door is set to stay
open for approximately 3 seconds. Once the pet is familiar with the pet door,
you should set the timing down to approximately 1-2 seconds. which is plenty of
time for your pet to exit the pet door. To decrease open time, use a small
screwdriver to turn OPEN TIME control clockwise. DO NOT FORCE.
If you
have cats that you intend to keep inside, the less time and the less sensitivity
to which the open door is programmed the less of a chance your cat will have in
going outside.
Once the pet door has been set to best accommodate you and
your pets' needs, no further adjustments are necessary.
