TROUBLESHOOTING
Reason
When not in use, your
ChickenGuard will go on Energy
saving mode.
The motor is not connected to
the front panel.
The sensor in the front panel
cannot read the mag-nets in
the spindle. The sensor counts
the rotations of the spindle
using these magnets to count
the number of rotations needed
when the door is closing.
This could be due to the lack
of weight detected during the
calibration.
Before starting the calibration,
your ChickenGuard will use the
bead attached to the string to
determine where the fully open
position is. The string will go
up until the bead reaches the
bottom of the unit and push the
blue sensor inside the unit.
Depending on the position
of your ChickenGuard,
obstructions such as a corner, or
a pulley might prevent the bead
from reaching and pushing the
sensor up.
If the string runs at an angle, it
may cause the orange sensor
to go inside the unit once it
"feels" the weight of the door,
even if the door is not fully open.
A different angle might also
prevent the sensor from going
up which will keep the motor
pulling and potentially snap the
string.
How to fix it
Press the Power/Menu button.
If the display is still off, check
that all 4 batteries have
been installed in the correct
orientation and fully charged.
Try a new set if possible or
use external power to see if
that solves the issue.

Remove the 4 screws and the
front panel. Connect the white
plug attached to the black and
red motor wires to the plug in
the front panel.
Attach the front panel to the
unit using the screws.
Ensure the string is attached
to the door before setting up
your ChickenGuard.
The unit should be sitting fully
vertical with no obstructions
preventing the ball in the
string from reaching the
sensor and pushing it inside
the unit.
If your unit is sitting
horizontally or your set up
will require the string to
run in a position different
to vertically, you will need
to manually calibrate your
ChickenGuard. In the menu,
go into Misc. settings, scroll
down to Calibration type, and
select manual. You will then
need to calibrate following the
instructions on screen.
