The pet door has the ability to receive wireless radio frequency (RF) signals. Some functions, such as the Learn function, utilizes wireless signals to read new transmit codes associated with the Computer Collar. Output:
LCD Display:
The LCD Display is used to show various settings and information about the door. It is comprised of various LCD segments that can be activated or deactivated. These fields are black when turned-on and cant be seen when turned-off. Figure 2 on the next page shows all possible segments that may be on at any given time. Figure 2: LCD Display upon power-up, all segments that are used will be turned-on for 1 second and then turned-off for 0.5 second. Clock:
The clock is used for the schedule function. Upon powering-up the pet door, the LCD clock defaults to 12:00 AM. SmartLink II SmartLink II is the code transmitted by the Computer Collar that communicates with the Invisible Fence Brand Doorman. The Invisible Fence Brand Doorman is capable of learning five unique SmartLink II codes. The first empty slot (number 1 of 5) will be used to store the SmartLink II code. If all slots are full and a new code is stored, the new code will overwrite the code currently stored in the first slot. If a duplicate SmartLink II code is received, its slot is automatically selected and no additional empty slots are utilized. For houses with more than 5 pets you can program multiple Computer Collar units to the same code. Units with the same code will be stored in the same slot. To change the code you need to utilize the CF-
3000 Dealer Tool. Showing SmartLink II Slots in Use When the Learn button is pressed and released, all SmartLink II slots that contain an authorized code will be displayed for a period of one second. 2012 Invisible Fence, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 6 Schedule The 24-hour day can be divided into two non-overlapping intervals, each with its own start time and pet door setting (Auto/Locked/Unlocked). The Day and Night segments on the LCD display are used to distinguish the intervals. Both a Day and Night schedule must be programmed for the Doorman to operate in schedule modes. See Switch between Locked, Unlocked and Automatic Modes for more details on the door modes. When Scheduling is turned on and an intervals start time arrives, the pet door will make the transition to the applicable pet door mode specified for that interval. Range The range determines the distance that a Computer Collar is able to communicate with the Doorman. There are five range settings that are available. Modes Pressing the Lock/Unlock/Auto button will cause the pet door to transition to one of the three available modes:
Auto When the pet door is placed in Auto mode, it is automatically locked and will only unlock when a programmed Computer Collar comes within proximity of the pet door. The pet door will relock automatically when all programmed collars are out of range for 10 seconds. Locked When the pet door is set to Locked mode, the pet door will lock and remain in that mode until the next schedule interval occurs (if Schedule is on) or when the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed. When this mode is selected a programmed Computer Collar has no effect on the pet door. Unlocked When the pet door is set to Unlocked mode, the pet door will unlock and remain in that mode until the next schedule interval occurs (if Schedule is on) or when the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed. When this mode is selected a programmed Computer Collar has no effect on the pet door. If the Schedule mode is active when the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed, the current schedule intervals pet door mode is overridden. The mode selected by the pressing of the Lock/Unlock/Auto button takes precedence over the scheduled mode. When the start time of the next schedule interval is reached, the original scheduled mode will be reinstated. Each time the Lock/Unlock/Auto button is pressed, the display advances to the next mode, but does not physically change the state of the pet door to that specific mode. Only when the Learn button is pressed or after no button is pressed for 20 seconds does the pet door set to the specific selected mode. If the pet door fails to set to the selected mode there are 3 possible reasons why the pet door may fail to establish the connection:
- High door motor current (motor turning is being hindered in some way)
Pet door timeout (it took more than 18 seconds to transition to the specified mode) Pet door jams (the door is unable to close, usually caused by an obstruction) If the connection fails to occur, the LCD display will display the error and the pet door mode will show the actual state of the door instead of the specified mode. For example, if the Lock/Unlock/Auto is pressed to change the door from unlocked to locked, and a jam occurs, the door will indicate that a jam has occurred and remain unlocked. NOTE: When the door detects that the door is unable to travel freely while closing, it will re-open and attempt to close again. A total of three attempts will be made to clear the problem before a jam is deemed to have occurred and noted on the LCD display. 2012 Invisible Fence, Inc.

A one second tone will sound indicating the change has occurred and a message will scroll across the display when the pushbuttons have been disabled reading as, Keypad Locked. If any of the keys are pressed while the keypad is locked, a Keypad Locked message will scroll across the LCD display. Low Battery Indication The battery voltage is consistently measured once every 4 hours. If the reading is below 4.4 Volts each of the times it is checked within a 24-hour period, the Low Battery alarm will activate. The pet door will beep and display LOW BATT on the LCD display once every 20 seconds. The audible alarm can be disabled by pressing any of the keypad buttons.
