1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control.
CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND PROGRAM / TEST THE CAT
FLAP BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT.
The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control allows entry for up to 9 cats
into your property. It also allows you to control the exit of all your pets using a timer or
4 way lock. Furthermore, it will allow you to monitor the movement of up to 3 individual
cats - showing when your cat last entered or left the house, and how many hours since
your cat last used the flap.
The cat flap is suitable for all popular microchips. Alternatively it may be operated by
a Cat Mate I.D. Disc (available separately). You may wish to use an I.D. Disc for cats
without a microchip or in the event that your cat's microchip is faulty or poorly
positioned.
To ensure that your chosen settings cannot easily be tampered with, we have made
the control buttons so that they need to be pressed firmly to operate.
If you wish to stop any task (except programming) at any stage, the system will time
out after 60 seconds.
Settings will not be saved unless you press the 'PROG' button.
2. Fitting the Batteries
2.1 Remove the battery cover by pushing the battery cover upwards (see Fig. 2). The
cover will snap off.
2.2 Insert 4 x AA (R6) batteries as shown (Fig. 3), by sliding the 2 end batteries in first.
2.3 The cat flap will self-check for up to 60 seconds after which only the 'IN & OUT'
arrows will be visible on the LCD display. The flap is ready to program.

All popular batteries can be used including rechargeable batteries, but the low battery
indicator ( 3 , Fig. 1) will only work correctly with alkaline batteries. Good quality
alkaline batteries should last approximately 12 months (depending on number of cats
and usage). You MUST NOT use lithium batteries.
3. Programming
The next step is to program the microchip (or I.D. Disc) belonging to each cat.
NOTE: The programming sequence is time sensitive and the LCD will revert to the
normal display if each step is not completed within approximately 15 minutes.
In order for the flap to recognise your cat(s) microchip you need to do the following:
3.1 Press and hold the 'PROG' button for 5 seconds ( 1 , Fig. 1) until the search
indicator ( 2 , Fig. 1) appears.
3.2 'CAT 1' and the number '1' will flash - there will be lines moving around the first
'TWO ZEROS'.
3.3 To program your cat's microchip, encourage your cat to slowly pass through the
tunnel by holding the flap open as shown in Fig. 4. Alternatively, to program your
cat's I.D. Disc, place the front of the I.D. Disc in the tunnel opening (Fig. 5).
3.4 When programmed, the 'TWO ZEROS' will disappear and 'Pr1' will flash.
3.5 Press the 'PROG' button to save the setting.
For additional cats, up to a maximum of 9, repeat steps 3.1 to 3.5.
4. Fitting Instructions (see Figs. 8a to 16, pages 4 and 5)
IMPORTANT:
• Do not cut tunnel of cat flap.
• To check that your cat's microchip is correctly positioned and functioning, we
strongly recommend you program the cat flap for all your cats before installation
(see Section 3). Then check the cat's microchip operates the lock when the cat's
head is pushed gently against the flap as shown in Fig. 6.
4.1. Wooden Doors 0-50mm (0-2") Thick

aperture is approximately 150mm (6") above ground level. (Fig. 8a). If you must
fit higher consider providing a step to help your cat enter.
4.1.2 Draw around the aperture (Fig. 8a), then using an electric jigsaw cut 4mm (
outside of the line. (Fig. 8b).
Be careful to cut hole square to the door, particularly with thicker doors. Ensure
interior frame is free fitting in hole.
4.1.3 Determine thickness of door panel, (t). (Fig. 10).
4.1.4 Holding the interior frame and the exterior frame in position, mark the 2 screw
holes. (Fig. 11).
4.1.5 Remove the frames and drill screw clearance holes in panel to 6mm (
diameter.
4.1.6 Position interior frame on inside of door and screw exterior frame to it by using
appropriate screws for panel thickness, (t), as shown in Fig. 12. If necessary, cut
supplied screws to length. Finally fit two screw caps.
