OMLET SMART OUTDOOR (01) PDF DOCUMENT

Before using your OMLET SMART OUTDOOR, please read the following important information:

• The Autodoor is designed solely as an automated way to open and close access to a chicken coop. It is not a device that will care for your chickens. You must still perform all routine daily checks for their health and safety.

• Ensure your chickens have access to food and water daily.

• Follow all assembly instructions to ensure the product works as intended.

• Keep the product free from dirt and obstructions to ensure the crush detector operates correctly.

• The Autodoor is for use with adult chickens. Disable the product if chickens are under 15 weeks of age.

• Do not rely solely on this product to care for your chickens.

• Keep your fingers away from the moving door.

• Stow excess cable to avoid tripping or accidental pulling.

• The control panel must be completely assembled before turning the power on.

• Do not disassemble the control panel when it is wet.

• Ensure the product is securely attached before operating it.

• Children must be supervised when using the Autodoor; it is not a toy.

• Any use beyond what is specified is considered improper. Omlet is not liable for any damage resulting from such use. The user alone bears the risk.

For assembly, you will need a screwdriver, wire cutters, and 4 x AA 1.5V batteries. It is important that you do not use a Power Drill to tighten screws.

The safety sensor bar, which detects if an object is blocking the door, will only work properly if the door is installed correctly. The opening of the coop must not be smaller than the opening of the Autodoor. To ensure correct operation, you must move the Autodoor so that the coop’s opening is set back from the edge of the safety bar by at least 0.2 inches (5 mm). When viewed from the other side, the opening of the coop should not obstruct the safety bar in any way.

You can power your OMLET SMART OUTDOOR Control Panel using either 4 x AA batteries or the Omlet Power Adaptor (available separately). The power supply is required to enable responsive mode when connected to Wi-Fi. It is important that you do not use both options simultaneously.

If using batteries, check them every 3 months and always use 4 batteries of the same brand and energy level.

When closing the control panel after installing batteries or connecting the power supply, ensure the cable is routed neatly within the housing. The cable should not be pinched or trapped between the front and back parts of the control panel when you screw it together. An incorrectly placed cable can be damaged and may cause the unit to malfunction.

Mount the Control Panel in a location where the Light Sensor can receive natural light throughout the day. Do not put the Control Panel under cover. Be aware that weather conditions, orientation, seasonal light levels, and artificial lights can significantly affect the light sensor’s performance.

The OMLET SMART OUTDOOR control panel has three main buttons with various functions:

• Scroll UP button (↑): Press to scroll up through menu options. Press & Hold to turn the optional coop light on/off.

• Scroll DOWN button (↓): Press to scroll down through menu options.

• Select / OK button (OK ↔): Press to select a menu item. Press & Hold to manually open or close the door.

When you power on your OMLET SMART OUTDOOR for the first time, it needs to detect the door position. To start, Press & Hold the OK button. The Autodoor will automatically calibrate itself by sliding the door once in each direction. The control panel will read “Calibrating…” during this process. Please ensure the Autodoor is not blocked during calibration.

To change the language on your OMLET SMART OUTDOOR, follow these steps:

1. Press the ↓ button to scroll through the menu until you reach the “Language: En” screen.

2. Press & Hold the OK button to enable changing the language. The current language will flash.

3. Use the ↑ or ↓ buttons to scroll through the available languages until you reach your desired language.

4. Press and hold the OK button to confirm the language update. The screen will display “–Saved–“.

The OMLET SMART OUTDOOR has 3 operating modes:

• MANUAL: The door will only open and close when you Press & Hold the OK button.

• TIME: You can set the Autodoor to open and close at specific times of the day.

• LIGHT: This is the default mode. The Autodoor will open and close based on the ambient light level detected by the light sensor.

In Manual Mode, you control the door directly. Press any of the three buttons (↑, ↓, OK), and the screen will read either “Hold to Open” or “Hold to Close”. Hold the OK button to either open or close the door.

In the Manual Mode menu, you can also see the following information:

• Battery: Displays the battery charge level.

• 1. Mode: Manual: Displays the current mode setting.

• 5. Factory Reset: Gives you the option to reset the Control Panel to its default settings.

To use Time Mode, you first need to select the mode and then set the current time. The system uses a 24-hour clock. Note that the time is reset if batteries are removed or a power outage occurs.

Setting the Mode:

1. Press ↓ to scroll through the options until you reach the “Mode” menu item.

2. Press & Hold OK to enable changing the value. The current mode will flash.

3. Use ↑ or ↓ to scroll through the modes until “Time” is displayed.

4. Press OK to switch to the hours, which will now flash.

5. Press ↑ or ↓ to set the correct hour.

6. Press & Hold OK to confirm. The display will read “–Saved–“.

Once you are in Time Mode, you can set specific times for the door to open and close.

Setting the Opening Time:

1. Press ↓ to scroll to the “3. Open @ HH:MM” display.

2. Press & Hold OK until the minutes begin to flash.

3. Use ↑ or ↓ to set the minutes for opening.

4. Press OK to switch to the hours, which will flash.

4. Press OK to switch to the hours, which will flash.

5. Use ↑ or ↓ to set the hour for closing.

If the light level where the control panel is located changes frequently (e.g., a busy neighborhood), light mode may not function as expected; in this case, please switch to Time Mode.

Setting the Mode:

1. Press ↓ to scroll through the options until you reach the “Mode” menu item.

2. Press & Hold OK to enable changing the value. The current mode will flash.

3. Use ↑ or ↓ to scroll through the modes until “Light” is displayed.

4. Press & Hold OK to confirm. The display will read “–Saved–“.

Setting the Light Opening Level:

The door opening light level should be set to a higher percentage than the closing level. The two values should be at least 10% apart. A recommended starting point is 13 for opening and 3 for closing. You may need to adjust these values based on your coop’s location and the changing seasons.

1. Press ↓ to scroll to the “3. Open @” display.

2. Press & Hold OK until the numbers begin to flash.

3. Press ↑ or ↓ to set the desired opening light level.

4. Press & Hold OK to confirm.

Setting the Light Closing Level:

1. Press ↓ to scroll to the “4. Close @” display.

2. Press & Hold OK until the numbers begin to flash.

3. Use ↑ or ↓ to set the desired closing light level (must be at least 10% lower than the opening level).

4. Press & Hold OK to confirm.

Setting the Open/Close Delay:

By default, the Autodoor has a factory delay of 20 minutes after the light reaches the required level. You cannot go below 20 minutes but can add additional time. This prevents accidental opening/closing from brief light changes (e.g., car headlights).

1. Press ↓ to scroll to “5. Open Delay” or “6. Close Delay”.

2. Press & Hold OK until the numbers begin to flash.

3. Use ↑ or ↓ to set the desired additional delay minutes.

4. Press & Hold OK to confirm.

To test the crush detector safety feature, follow these steps:

1. Wait for the door to close automatically, or initiate a manual close by Pressing & Holding the OK button.

2. As the door is closing, carefully place an object in the doorway. The object should be firm enough to exert pressure on the crush detector at the bottom of the door.

3. When the door makes contact with the object, the Crush Detector will stop the door and make it open again.

4. The door will automatically try to close 4 more times. If it is still blocked after these attempts, it will stop in the fully open position.

Please avoid cleaning your OMLET SMART OUTDOOR with industrial chemicals or a jet wash. We recommend cleaning only with soap and water or a pet-safe disinfectant. For red mite treatment, use powder only.

In the event that the motor fails, the batteries go flat, or there is any other blockage, you can move the door freely by releasing the rack. This allows you to manually operate the door in an emergency.
