Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your automatic chicken coop door:
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure your chicken coop has an opening of at least 10.83 inches (27.5 cm) high and 9.45 inches (24 cm) wide. This is the required space for the door to operate effectively.
- Mount the Door Unit: Position the automatic chicken coop door unit over the prepared opening. Use the provided screws to securely fasten the door to the coop. Avoid over-tightening the screws to prevent damage to the unit or coop structure.
- Charge the Battery: Before initial use, fully charge the internal lithium battery using a 5V/2A adapter via the USB-C cable. This ensures optimal performance.
- Connect the Solar Panel: After charging, connect the solar panel to the door unit. Position the solar panel in a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day for continuous charging. The solar panel provides 365 days of non-stop power when adequately exposed to sunlight.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your MASTERFUN Automatic Chicken Coop Door.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the door and control panel with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Track Inspection: Ensure the door tracks are clear of obstructions (e.g., feathers, dirt, ice) that could impede smooth operation.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Keep the solar panel clean to maximize charging efficiency. Dust or dirt on the panel can reduce its effectiveness.
- Battery Monitoring: While the solar panel provides continuous power, regularly check the battery indicator on the LCD screen, especially during prolonged periods of low sunlight, and charge via USB-C if needed.
- Weather Protection: Although the door is weatherproof, extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, ice) may require additional attention to ensure the door mechanism remains clear and operational.
