Setting Wireless IR (Infrared) Sensor for Human or PetUpdated 3 months ago

The IR (Infrared) sensor works by picking up the heat given off by a target in its line of detection. Through this, the IR sensor can be used either for humans or for pets.

To configure the IR sensor for either human or pet, open the IR sensor and locate the small sensor switch as seen below:

Setting this switch to Human will allow the IR sensor to activate the Outside Sensor input. This will allow it to work in Green Mode and in Pet Mode (if the Secure Pet Mode setting is turned off) to open the door to the human opening width.

Setting this switch to Pet will allow the IR sensor to activate the Pet Sensor input. This will allow it to work in Pet Mode to open to the programmed pet opening width. It will also double as a safety reversal when the system is activated by an enabled input in Green Mode, Red Mode, or Blue Mode.

Currently, the wireless IR sensor cannot activate the Inside Sensor input.
