How To Set Up My PetSafe® SSSCAT® Automatic Spray Deterrent
Choose the Best Location
Choose an indoor location for the SSSCAT® Spray that meets the following:
- Temperature is between 60°F and 80°F.
- Within 39 inches of the path your pet will cross.
- Pointing in a way that your pet will pass in front of the unit instead of walking towards it.
- Not near or pointed towards heat sources like HVAC vents, heaters, stovetops, ovens, etc., or somewhere that receives direct sunlight during the day. The heat can interfere with the motion sensor on the spray nozzle.
Do not use this device near pet birds as it can startle them.
Adjust the Settings
Once you have selected a location for the unit, you can adjust the activation range if it seems to be activating from too far away. For more information, visit How To Switch Modes on My PetSafe® SSSCAT® Automatic Spray Deterrent.
Please note that your system may not have short and long-range modes.
Powering On or Off
Once you have placed the spray deterrent in your desired location and adjusted the activation range, power the unit on. To do this, press and release the power button.
When powering on the unit, you must wait 30 seconds for the sensor to calibrate before use or testing. If you or your pet are standing or moving in front of the unit, it may cause the unit not to activate consistently or at all.
When not in use, power the unit off to conserve the battery. You can power it off by pressing and holding the power button until the red light goes out.
