Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your automatic chicken coop door.

1. Confirm Door Size and Mark Position: Measure the dimensions of the chicken coop door unit (9.6 inches high x 8.3 inches wide) and mark the desired opening on your coop. Ensure sufficient space for the door to slide freely.
2. Prepare the Opening: Carefully saw or cut out the marked opening in your chicken coop. Ensure the edges are smooth to prevent obstruction.
3. Secure the Door Unit: Place the chicken coop door unit over the prepared opening. Use the included screws to firmly attach the unit to the coop structure. Ensure it is level and securely mounted.
4. Install Solar Charger and Set Time: Mount the solar panel in a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day. Connect the solar panel cable to the main unit. Power on the unit and set the current time according to the instructions in the Operating section.

Checking Door Status Remotely:

After activating the remote control, briefly press the status check button (eye icon). When the chicken coop door is fully open, the indicator light on the remote's 'open' button will illuminate. When the door is fully closed, the indicator light on the 'close' button will turn on. This allows you to confirm the door's status without being physically present at the coop.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your chicken coop door.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the door unit and solar panel with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate. Ensure the solar panel is clean for efficient charging.
• Obstruction Check: Regularly inspect the door's path for any obstructions (e.g., bedding, dirt, ice) that could impede its movement or interfere with the anti-pinch sensor.
• Battery Monitoring: While the solar panel provides continuous charging, monitor the battery indicator on the display, especially during prolonged cloudy periods, and use USB-C charging if the battery level is low.
• Weather Protection: Although designed to be weather-resistant, ensure the unit is securely mounted and not exposed to excessive direct water spray or prolonged submersion.
