Operating Instructions
1. Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote control allows you to operate and monitor the chicken coop door from a distance of up to 120 meters, even through walls. No Wi-Fi is required for its operation.
- Use the designated buttons on the remote to manually open or close the door.
- The LCD screen provides real-time status updates, showing if the door is open, closed, or if an error has occurred.
- Monitor the battery levels of both the door unit and the remote control directly on the screen.

2. Automatic Timer Function
Program the door to open and close automatically at specific times each day.
- Access the timer settings via the remote control.
- Set your desired opening time (e.g., 6:00 AM) and closing time (e.g., 7:00 PM).
- Once set, the door will operate according to this schedule daily, providing a hands-free routine for your chickens.
Figure 6: Programmed Opening and Closing. The door automatically manages access to the coop based on set times.
3. 120° Motion Detection & Predator Alert
The integrated 120° motion sensor acts as a guardian for your coop, detecting potential threats.
- If an animal or intruder approaches the coop within the 120° detection zone, the door unit will trigger an audible deterrent alarm.
- Simultaneously, your remote control will emit an alert, notifying you immediately of any nocturnal visitors or unusual activity.

4. Anti-Pinch Protection
The safety of your chickens is a priority. The door is equipped with an intelligent anti-pinch function:
- If the sensor detects a chicken or any other obstruction during the closing process, the door will immediately reverse its movement.
- It will then wait for 10 seconds before attempting to close again. This retry process occurs up to 4 times.
- If the obstruction remains after 4 attempts, an alarm will sound on both the door unit and the remote control.
- The closing force is designed to be gentle, ensuring safe operation even for small chicks.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| The remote control and timer are not functioning. | Ensure the remote control is correctly connected to the door unit. The blue indicator light on the door should be off, and the signal icon should be visible on the remote's screen. |
| The door is blocked or not opening/closing correctly. | Check if the mounting screws were overtightened during installation. Excessive tightening can affect the roll-up movement and cause a blockage. Loosen the screws slightly, then retest the door. |
| The door is not opening or closing at the programmed time. | A1: Verify that the real-time clock on the remote control matches your local time. A2: Ensure the alarm icon on the screen is not flashing, as this generally indicates an interruption due to a low battery level. |
| The remote control emits a beep for approximately 20 seconds at night. | Check the remote control screen. If an obstacle status icon or alarm icon is active, it means a predator or another object may have triggered the sensors. |
