Plug and Play

A combination of hardware doors and light-sensing software that enables the door to be fully operational without interference, making it very easy to install and adjust.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ

about RUN-CHICKEN T50 Door
  • How do I change the batteries on RUN-CHICKEN door?

    If the red light on the drive unit is blinking, it means that the batteries are almost or completely empty. In this case, you need to replace the batteries inside the drive unit. Remove the drive unit by unscrewing the 4 screws. Replace the batteries only with new ones. Look for the + and – polarity imprints on the battery holder and the battery to replace the batteries correctly. Then place the drive unit back on the door.

  • RUN-CHICKEN door does not open/close. What should I do?
    • When the batteries are empty, the door will remain closed to secure your chicken coop. In this case, you need to replace the batteries.
    • If an error occurs on the drive unit software, try to reset your door to factory settings (hold the button for 15 seconds to see the light blink green, red, and blue, or put batteries out for 1 minute and then put them back in).
    • When the door is in automatic mode, it uses natural light to determine when to open/close. Try to program it if you mounted the door inside the coop. Do not point the IR camera or IR heat lamp directly at the door; it may interfere with the light sensor.

    If the door is frozen, unfreeze it before you open it.

  • What should I do if my product arrives damaged?

    Damage during transport is very rare. If you notice any visible or hidden damage, report it immediately to the carrier within seven days and to our customer support within 21 days of receiving the order.

  • My RUN-CHICKEN door isn't running smoothly. What should I check?

    Check for overtightening of screws and loosen them slightly. Ensure there’s at least 12 inches of space above the door and verify that the door is mounted vertically and level. Also, clean any dirt from the door and rails with a cloth and warm water.

  • What if the RUN-CHICKEN door doesn't open or close?

    Replace the batteries if they are empty. Reset the door to factory settings if a software error occurs (hold the button for 15 seconds or remove and reinsert the batteries after a minute). Ensure the light sensor isn’t obstructed or affected by artificial lights like IR cameras or heat lamps.

  • How does the RUN-CHICKEN door perform in cold temperatures?

    The door is designed to function in temperatures from -15°F to 140°F. If the door freezes, unfreeze it before operation. Consider installing a canopy over the door to protect from heavy snow and frost.

  • The door isn't working even after I changed the batteries. What next?

    Ensure the new batteries are installed correctly, matching the + and – signs. If the issue persists, contact our customer support for further assistance.

  • I programmed the timer, but the door isn't operating as set. Why?

    Ensure your screen brightness is at maximum and battery saver is off. Verify that the unit is in programming mode (blue light mode) and ensure the screen is properly aligned with the sensor during programming. Some screens may not work correctly due to refresh rate issues; try a different device if necessary.

  • What power source does the RUN-CHICKEN door require?

    The door is battery-powered, requiring two AA alkaline batteries. It cannot be powered by electricity, reflecting a design choice for optimal battery use.

  • Which batteries are recommended for the RUN-CHICKEN door?

    Use high-quality AA/LR6 batteries, such as Duracell or Panasonic, to ensure reliable operation for up to a year, even in very cold climates.

  • How do I know the batteries need changing?

    A green light indicates batteries are charged, while a red blinking light shows the batteries are low. If the red light blinks and you don’t change the batteries, the door will remain closed to keep your coop secure.

  • What does a blinking blue light on the door indicate?

    It signals that the door is preparing to open or close, indicating a change from day to night or vice versa.

  • Can the RUN-CHICKEN door be installed on mobile or unconventional coops?

    Yes, the door is versatile enough to be installed on various coop types, including mobile and tractor coops.

  • Is installation of the RUN-CHICKEN door complicated?

    The door is designed for easy installation with minimal tools required. It should be installed upright for proper operation, and an installation video is available for guidance.
