welcome to the Flyte so Fancy video
for fitting a VSB automatic door opener and digital battery timer
to Flyte so Fancy Maggie's Six hen house
the first task is to put the lightweight aluminium door
in place. place the runners on the two vertical framing timbers
on the inside of the front panel the runners have holes that are offset
on either end make sure that the holes at the top
are towards the outside of the runners put the door in place to make sure the
runners are square
and this will ensure that the door runs cleanly
up and down fasten the runners using 30 millimetre crews
continuing to check for free range of movement of the door
along the full length for the runners.
Next take the angled framing timber supplied in your kit
and secure is shown using 40 millimetre screws
the front panel is now ready for the VSB automatic door opener
to be fitted, Remove the clear plastic cover
using across headed screwdriver position the VSB squarely in the apex at the top of the front panel
and place a 30 millimetre screw into the screw holes
in each corner
now fasten the screws
making sure that the unit is secure.
you will need to shorten the loop under the door opener to do this simply tie
a knot
in the cord as shown
now move the aluminium door into the up position
and take an additional short length of cord pass it through the hole in the top
of the aluminium door
and fasten it to the shortened loop as shown
we can now move on to fitting the battery timer
please note that this component is optional.
You can find more details about setting up the timer
in our video on the digital battery timer for the VSB.
First remove the clear plastic cover and remove any cables from inside
and position on the front panel insert twenty millimeter screws
into the corner screw holes again fasten with the cross head screwdriver.
Now that the timer is fitted in position we can add in the additional leads and
sensors.
Gently but securely place the small black cap
onto the light sensor on the circuit board as shown.
You can now connect the external light sensor lead
at Flyte so Fancy we will drill a nine-millimeter whole
into the face the front panel to insert the external light sensor
however you can pass it through the ventilation
in the apex if you prefer. Place the two crimped
leads of the light sensor onto pins 5&6
it does not matter which way around they are connected.
Now that the light sensor is fully connected
you can tidy any extra wire if necessary.
To connect the
timer a first remove the nuts on the bottom of the unit
now take the lead for the battery timer
and attach it to pins 3&4 on the door openers circuit board
make sure you note which colored wire is on which pin
as this will be important later. You can use a cable tie to tidy the leads
inside the unit if you wish
and again if you wish to secure the lead to your hen house
you can do so.
Once you have done this take the loose ends of the timer lead
and pass it through the nut and into the digital battery timer.
Connect it to pins 3&4 please make sure
the color and number combination matches the other end to the lead.
More information on this can be found on our video
on the digital battery timer.
now that the
VSP door opener and timer are fully installed
you can insert the batteries into the VSB door opener
you can test the functionality of the door opener
by bridging pins 3&4 with the metallic object
such as a screwdriver bridging the pins will cause the door to lower
until it is fully closed or the screwdriver et cetera
has been removed. Removing the screwdriver
will cause the door to open again.
Now your door unit and
timer are fully operational you can replace the plastic covers
and you're good to go!
