Power Pet Door
How to mount your Power Pet Door
Installation
Your POWER PET door package includes:
- One Pet Transmitter Collar (Model MS-4 or MS-5 Ultrasonic Transmitter Collar)
- 110 volt AC Adapter (connects to either Power Input Jack on edge of inside frame)
- Pre-Fabricated Outside Frame
- All Required Hardware
(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 a door up to 1 3⁄4“ thick there is no framing necessary. The pre-made Outer Frame 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 ofthe hole you cut in your wall.
Position rough cut-out 2 inches above shoulder height or 3 inches above floor, whichever is higher.
CUT-OUT DIMENSIONS
| Rough Cut-Out Dimensions | ||
|---|---|---|
| Size | w | h |
| PX-1 (Medium) | 8 7/8" | 11 1/4" |
| PX-2 (Large) | 12 7/8" | 17 1/4" |
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 POWER PET DOOR
This is the easy part. Install the POWER PET and Outside Frame as shown below.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
a) When installing the inside mounting screws, make sure they are only moderately tight. Over tightening will cause your Power Pet door housing to conform to any irregularities in the flatness of your door or wall and will 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.
b) 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 flat head 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.
