Petsafe PPA11-10711 User Manual

NOTE: 

The SmartDoor

™

 is designed with an electric motor to release and unlock fl ap when a 

SmartKey

™

 is detected. Do not allow your pet to run or charge through the SmartDoor

™

. Due to 

variable radio-frequency interferences it could take several seconds for SmartKey

™

’s unique code 

to read properly and SmartDoor

™

’s fl ap to unlock.

SET

It is necessary to set your SmartDoor

™

’s sensitivity level so your pet’s SmartKey

™

 works properly 

due to location or application material, such as radio-frequency interferences, wood or metal     

door installations. 

 

To begin, it is recommended to use the split ring (included) to attach the SmartKey

™

 to the D-ring 

on your pet’s collar. Also do not use metal tags as the additional metal can cause radio-frequency 

interference and hinder the detection of your pet’s SmartKey

™

. Now, continue with the following 

“product in use” steps:
1. Put the dog’s collar on your leg just below your knee. Tape 

may be used to secure the collar, if necessary. See A.

2. Stand directly in front of the SmartDoor

™

 so the SmartKey

™

 

is approximately 2.5 feet (76 cm) from the SmartDoor

™

.

3. Put the SmartDoor

™

 in the UNLOCKED Mode. (See page 6 

for operational instructions).

4. Put the SmartDoor

™

 in the Sensitivity Test Mode by 

holding down the MODE-RESET and LEARN buttons at the 

same time until all three lights fl ash once.

5. Turn the Sensitivity Knob counter clockwise to the 

minimum position, then turn the Sensitivity Knob 

clockwise until all lights begin to fl ash again.

6. Slowly continue to adjust the Sensitivity Knob clockwise 

until you see a minimum of six consecutive fl ashes and 

stop adjusting. Do not adjust higher than necessary.

7. Put the SmartDoor

™

 in AUTOMATIC Mode and step away 

at least 10 feet (3 m), allowing the door to automatically 

lock. This may take up to fi fteen seconds after the 

SmartKey

™

 no longer is detected. 

8. Now confi rm the sensitivity level by approaching the 

SmartDoor

™

 again. The door should unlock when you 

step within approximately 2 feet (60 cm) in front of the 

SmartDoor

™

.

The Active Area is the area where the SmartDoor

™

 will 

consistently open based on your adjustment of the 

sensitivity level. In the Fringe Area the SmartDoor

™

 may 

open inconsistently due to variables of radio-frequency 

interferences or refl ections. In the Inactive Area the door 

will generally not unlock automatically. See B.
You may see slight differences between Outside and Inside 

Active Areas due to radio-frequency interferences.
