Important Notice
Please read all of these instructions BEFORE fitting the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap. Importantly,
please check whether there is metal in the substrate that the flap is to be fitted into. Please follow
the metal mount instructions in section 6.3 if this is the case.
Under no circumstances should you cut or drill through the tunnel of the main
assembly of the unit as this contains the microchip reader and will prevent the unit
from working properly.
The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap will operate with all 9, 10, and 15-digit microchips that are
commonly used for pet identification, except 10 digit chips beginning 000..., 010..., or 020...
Alternatively, you can use the cat flap with the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag (sold separately),
please see section 4 for more information.
Every effort has been made to ensure the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap will operate with all
relevant microchips. However, there are a small number of circumstances relating to the position
of your pet's microchip and the signal strength of the individual chip, which may mean that the
cat flap does not operate reliably.
We therefore strongly advise that the following checks are carried out before permanent changes
are made to a door to install the cat flap:
1.
Insert batteries and leave for 10 seconds with nothing in the tunnel so that the sensors can
settle.
2.
Press the 'memory' button and persuade your cat to put its head up to the door from the
tunnel side. The indicator light will stop flashing when its chip has been learnt.
3.
Leave the flap until the lock closes again.
4.
Finally, test the normal operation of the flap. Again persuade your cat to put its head up to
the door from the tunnel side. Try to make sure this is similar to how your cat would use it in
practice, as shown below. The catch should open.
5.
Repeat the learn process for each of your cats.
Please test to make sure your cat(s) can fit comfortably through the flap before fitting.
