3. Microchip Type
The DualScan cat flap is compatible with all the following types of microchip commonly used

•
15-digit microchips (also known as FDXB)
•
10-digit microchips (also known as FDXA) except those with codes starting 000..., 010...,
or 020...
•
9-digit microchips
In addition
the cat flap is also compatible with the Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag (sold

If permanent changes to a door or wall are required for installation we strongly advise testing
the DualScan cat flap with your cat(s) first. To test that it works for your cat carry out both the
learn process (see section 5) and then test normal operation (see section 8).
