Product Description:
Your new POWER PET Electronic Pet Door is like no
other pet door made. Patented POWER PETTM electronic pet doors are fully automatic, motor driven and
open completely under their own power. Activated by an
ultrasonic pet collar, your new POWER PET door will
keep out stray animals. It is secure against wind, rain,
cold and snow and provides much better insulation than
a conventional ap door. Your new POWER PET door
features an attractive, high-strength door panel that
quickly and quietly powers upward disappearing into the
stylish housing. Your pets are empowered to come and
go as they please while their animal friends are politely
asked to stay out.
POWER PET doors increase home security with a
special automatic, deadbolt locking feature that guards
against would-be intruders. Only the coded signal from
your pet’s collar will open the Power Pet door.
ULTRASONIC SENSOR
tells the Power Pet door how far away your pet is and the direction in which your pet is traveling. This allows the Power
Pet to work like magic, opening only when your pet is on a direct approach, not when it is just wandering by and not when
it is sitting or sleeping next to the door.
Only Power Pet doors feature an ingenious directional
sensing system that operates a fully automatic, motor
driven panel. The signal emitted from your pet’s collar
ALL NEW DESIGN!
After selling thousands of our original POWER PET, PP models we are very pleased to introduce our All New,
completely redesigned and restyled PX Model. We listened to the feedback of hundreds of customers and
threw in a few ingenious, new ideas of our own to bring you the ultimate combination of security, style and convenient features.
The PX model, which features an extremely slim design, is less than 2 inches deep. This allows it to be
mounted ush to your door or wall. You cut a hole only as large as the door panel itself, then mount your
POWER PET door in front of the opening. You will nd it is actually easier to install a POWER PET door than a
conventional pet door and certainly easier than installing a “between the studs type door”
The PX is constructed of an ultra-high strength ABS composite housing with a bullet-proof Lexan plastic door
panel, giving you and your pet the ultimate in security. The Lexan panel is mounted on a sliding, air-tight seal
for the best wind, rain and foul weather protection of any pet door made.
This new, absolutely state of the art design represents unquestionably the most advanced, most reliable, most
stylish pet door made anywhere. In fact, your new POWER PET Fully Automatic Pet Door will be the most
sophisti cated appliance your pet will ever own!
Your POWER PET door package includes:
• One Pet Transmitter Collar (Model MS2 Standard 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.)
PET COLLAR OPERATED
Only the amazing POWER PET door uses our Patented directional
ultrasonic sensing system. This system has great advantages over
magnetic or radio transmitter collars.
Magnetic collars have a very limited range making it tough to train the
pet to operate the door. Radio systems have good range but open
whenever the animal is within that range, even if the pet is sitting,
sleeping or just wandering by.
The Power Pet’s directional ultrasonic system overcomes these prob-
Ultrasonic
Collar
lems. The Pet worn ultrasonic collar emits a highly directional signal,
which is received by the microphone only when your pet is directly
facing the door opening. The unit is not likely to trigger if your pet is
just wandering by.
Directional
Signal
Microphone
Typically the ultrasonic signal is bounced off the ground in the direction
which your pet is facing. This means that surfaces which are highly
reective such as tile and linoleum will result in a longer working range
than acoustically absorbent surfaces such as carpeting.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING YOUR POWER PET DOOR
Your POWER PET door mounts ush 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 ¾“ thick there is no framing necessary. The pre-made Outer Frame
that came with your POWER PET door will provide a nished 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 are for the nished opening not including the frame. Dimensions of the frame you build should be
added to the opening size to determine the nal size of the hole you cut in your wall.

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 atness of your door or wall and will
cause the door panel to slow, stick or malfunction. Just tighten the screws until they stop. That is enough to insure
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 nish the screw holes. Once installed, the inside screw covers
may be removed by twisting CLOCKWISE using a coin or at head screwdriver. Twisting counter-clockwise will cause
the screw covers to break.
Initial Power up
Plug the AC Adaptor into a nearby 110 VAC wall outlet. Plug adaptor cord into the left or right Power Input Jack on the
inside frame. (see page 3)
Press the front panel ON button to power up the door. Verify the AC light is illuminated.
Press the manual OPEN button and verify the door panel opens and closes by itself.

Battery Installation
To install the battery, open the battery compartment, and align the two battery lugs with the two lug sockets on the inner
wall of the battery compartment. Then press the battery to mate it to the sockets. When done the battery should be ush
with the wall, and the compartment cover should t comfortably over the installed battery.
An installed battery is automatically charged whenever the AC Adaptor is powering the door.
Battery Status Indicators
The OK light is illuminated when the battery is more than one-third charged.
The LOW light illuminates when the battery is less than one-third charged.
Note that during door opening these indicators may reverse for a few seconds when the battery is below one-half charge.
This is normal and gives a little advance notice of an impending low battery.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Battery Operation
Whenever AC Power is unavailable and a charged battery is installed, the front panel indicators go into a low power mode
where they blink every four seconds instead of remaining on continuously. This feature allows the battery to power the
door for up to two months or 500 openings.
ADVANCED FEATURES
INTRINSICALLY SAFE OPERATION
The POWER PET electronic pet door is intrinsically safe. It uses an electric motor and cable drive to lift the door panel.
The panel remains open until the pet collar signal is gone, indicating that your pet is clear of the opening. When the pet
collar signal is gone, power to the motor is turned off and the panel is returned by the force of gravity only. Downward
speed is reduced by an electronic brake applied to the reverse motion of the motor. This brake operates with or without
electrical power. Because the panel is returned by simple gravity, the maximum force that can be applied by the panel
when it is closing is limited to its own weight. The door panel weighs only about 2 lbs.
AUTO RETRACT FEATURE
As an added safety feature, the POWER PET also has a sensing system that automatically raises the panel should it
encounter an obstruction on the way down. This feature can be defeated in the unusual case that binding or other restriction slows the door closure to the point that it unnecessarily retracts. See the AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT Section
for more information.
AUTO DEAD BOLT LOCKING FEATURE
The POWER PET door uses a spring loaded locking pin which automatically snaps into its retaining hole when the movable
panel comes to rest in the closed position. The pin can only be released when the motor applies tension to the cable. This
makes it impossible for even the most clever animals (and people) to raise the panel mechanically.
THREE DIFFERENT POWER CHOICES: Your new POWER PETTM Door may be operated in three different power modes.
1. 110 volt AC Wall Outlet: Your standard POWER PETTM Door comes standard with a U.L. approved AC adapter. Plug the
adapter into a nearby wall outlet for continuous operation.
2. AC with Battery Back-up: You may purchase an optional rechargeable battery for use along with your ac adapter. If
your household electricity should ever fail, your POWER PETTM Door will automatically switch over to battery operation.
When power is restored, the ac adapter will automatically recharge your battery.
3. Full Battery Operation: You may also operate your POWER PETTM Door with the battery only. This eliminates the need
for the ac adapter or any electrical power connection. However, you will need to recharge the battery periodically.
(Recharge interval varies depending upon use.) In this case, we recommend that you purchase the optional battery
and a battery charger kit. With the charger kit you get a battery charger and an extra battery. Use one battery in your
POWER PETTM Door and keep the other in the charger. When your door battery runs low, just swap.
DUAL RANGE CONTROLS: Individual range control to allow you to adjust different activation distances for inside and
outside of your home. (Usually, it’s a good idea to use a short distance of a foot or two inside, and a longer 4 to 5 foot
distance outside.) Your new POWER PET PX gives you full control.
Normal setting of the range knob is between the markings “2” and “4”. When you rst install the POWER PET PX door set
both range control knobs at about “3” and then while loosely holding the strap of the collar, move the hanging collar in and
out toward the door to determine the range at which it opens. Increase the knob position to get longer range. Decrease
the knob to get shorter range.
Just as your hearing of a conversation can be overpowered by loud noises such as a lawn mower, the door sensors can
also be overpowered by loud ultrasonic noises. Specically some sprinklers, lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners can put
out enough noise to temporarily mask the collar signal. The POWER PET PX door has a unique feature which indicates
when the background noise level is too high. Whenever the INSIDE noise is too loud, the INSIDE light will icker or ash
on. This means you may want to decrease the INSIDE knob setting slightly. Likewise, whenever the OUTSIDE noise is
too high, the OUTSIDE light will icker or ash on. This means you may want to decrease slightly the OUTSIDE knob
setting. A little ickering once in a while is normal. A lot of ickering or continuous ashing means the knob is set too high.

4 WAY ACCESS CONTROL: Individual activation buttons for the inside and outside sensors give you a 4-way access
control system. You can allow your pet to come in but not go out, go out but not come in, come in and out or close and
lock the door altogether
AUTOMATIC CLOSE CONTROL: Your POWER PET PX Features a smart sensing circuit that keeps the door panel open
as long as it is receiving the signal from your pet’s collar. Once your pet has moved completely through the opening, the
panel immediately closes. No need to adjust a manual timer. The POWER PET is smart enough to know exactly when it’s
time to close
AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT: Your POWER PET PX is intrinsically safe for all pets and people, including small
children. The door panel weighs less than 2 lbs. and is closed smoothly by gravity (not the motor) and is too light to cause
any physical injury. However, just to be doubly safe around infants, we’ve included an automatic safety retract feature.
This feature causes the panel to instantly retract if it encounters an obstruction during closure.
DEFEATING THE AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT: Under unusual conditions, such as a warped wall mounting, the
door sometimes may close so slowly that the auto-retract feature triggers the door to re-open unnecessarily. In these
cases it may be desirable to defeat the Automatic Safety Retract feature. Do this by rst pressing the OFF button to
turn off the door controls and all the lights. Leave the door powered by the wall wart or battery when you do this. Then
while holding down the MANUAL OPEN button, press and release the OUTSIDE SENSOR button. The OUTSIDE light
will blink to indicate the feature has been disabled.
ENABLING AUTOMATIC SAFETY RETRACT: Similarly you may enable the Automatic Safety Retract feature at any
time. Do this by rst pressing the OFF button to turn off the door controls and all the lights. Leave the door powered by
the wall wart or battery when you do this. Then while holding down the MANUAL OPEN button, press and release the
INSIDE SENSOR button. The INSIDE light will blink to indicate the feature has been enabled. When shipped from the
factory, the automatic safety retract feature is enabled.
After Defeating or Enabling the feature, press the POWER ON button to resume normal door operation.
PET COLLAR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your POWER PET DOOR comes with a standard model MS-2 or MS-2A ultrasonic transmitter collar. Each collar includes
a battery TEST button which illuminates a red LED when the battery is OK. If the LED fails to light, battery replacement is
necessary.
Note: Each model of collar has a different signal strength, and requires a slightly different adjustment of the RANGE
knobs on the door. If you have more than one pet using the door make sure they are all wearing the same model of collar, so a single range setting works for all pets.
If you upgrade to the multi-function RX-10 collar on one pet, we recommend you use an RX-10 collar or an MS-2A col-
lar on any other pets that need access to the door.
ADJUSTING THE STRAP
1. Fasten the collar around your pet’s neck so that it ts comfortably. In most cases there will be excess strap length.
2. With a soft pencil or magic marker, mark the amount of strap to be removed leaving at least one inch past the D-ring
buckle.
3. Remove the collar from your pet and cut off the excess strap at the mark.
4 To avoid fraying of the cut end, heat may be applied.
5. Re-fasten the collar around your pet’s neck so that it hangs loosely and comfortably
REPLACING THE MS-2 or MS-2A BATTERY
1. To open the unit, place a small at screwdriver or other at object into either end slot and twist. The collar will snap open.
2. Slowly separate the two halves while observing how the battery is suspended between a wire braid and a spring on the
board. Remove battery and replace with a new battery, paying attention to install in the same location and orientation.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. To close, rst line up the slots at one end of the unit and squeeze together. Then squeeze together on the opposite end until
the unit snaps shut.
Your High Tech MS-2 or MS-2A ultrasonic transmitter collar will operate for 3 to 5 months on a single, easily replaceable battery.
WATER RESISTANCE
The High Tech MS-2 MS2-A ultrasonic transmitter collar is water resistant meaning that rainy weather and humidity will not
damage the unit. These collars are NOT designed to be fully immersed in water. Should this occur, simply open the unit, shake
out water and let dry. In most cases the unit will function normally. However the life of the battery will likely be reduced or the
battery may require replacement.
TRAINING YOUR PET
Training your pet to use its new POWER PET door should be a relatively effortless task. Some pets may become startled by
the sound and movement of the panel, but be patient. Nearly every pet will soon be used to the POWER PET’S operation and
learn to love using its own personal entry. We recommend that you lead your pet to the door and allow it to open several times
to teach the animal the cause and effect relationship between pet and door. Then place a food reward on the opposite side
and lead the animal through the opening, allowing it to get the reward on the other side. Repeat several times. Before too long
your pet will get the idea. If your pet doesn’t get it in one sitting, remain patient and let your pet just walk around on its own for
awhile. It won’t take too much more time for your pet to realize the POWER PET opens whenever the pet comes its way. One
of the most frequent comments we hear from POWER PET owners is how much their pets love using their POWER PET door.
We are sure your pet will feel the same!
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Over the years you may need to replace damaged or worn out parts. High Tech Pet Products offers complete refurbishment of
the door at our facility in Ventura CA. Contact Customer Service for instructions on shipping your door back to us. For customers with the mechanical skills to refurbish themselves, we offer many replacement parts on our web site, www.hightechpet.com
along with do-it-yourself instructions.
