  • Assembly Instructions: 1. 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 systems 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. The cover will snap off.2.2 Insert 4 x AA (R6) batteries as shown, 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 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 recognize your cat(s) microchip you need to do the following: 3.1 Press and hold the 'PROG' button for 5 seconds until the search indicator 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. Alternatively, to program your cat's I.D. Disc, place the front of the I.D. Disc in the tunnel opening.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 1 to 5.4. Fitting Instructions:IMPORTANT: 1. Do not cut tunnel of cat flap.2. 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. Then check the cat’s microchip operates the lock when the cat’s head is pushed gently against the flap.4.1 Wooden Doors 0-50mm (0-2) Thick:4.1.1 Place exterior frame in desired position on door. We recommend the bottom of the aperture is approximately 150mm (6) above ground level.. If you must fit higher consider providing a step to help your cat enter.4.1.2 Draw around the aperture, then using an electric jigsaw cut 4mm (5 /32) outside of the line.. 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).4.1.4 Holding the interior frame and the exterior frame in position, mark the 2 screw holes.4.1.5 Remove the frames and drill screw clearance holes in panel to 6mm (1 /4) 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). If necessary, cut supplied screws to length. Finally fit two screw caps.4.2 UPVC / Metal Doors 0-50mm (0-2”) Thick:Doors constructed with metal panels may reduce the range of the microchip reader. You may test for metal panels by drilling a small trial hole in the middle of the intended cat flap location. For UPVC / metal doors it is essential to cut a larger hole than for wooden doors and to retune the cat flap as below:4.2.1 Place exterior frame in desired position on door. We recommend the bottom of the aperture is approximately 150mm (6) above ground level. If you must fit higher consider providing a step to help your cat enter.4.2.2 Draw around the OUTSIDE of the frame.. Using an electric jigsaw cut 12mm (1 /2) INSIDE the line.4.2.3 Determine thickness of door panel, (t).4.2.4 Position interior frame on inside of door and screw exterior frame to it by using appropriate screws for panel thickness, (t). If necessary, cut supplied screws to length. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS which may prevent the flap from closing properly - use a manual screwdriver. Finally fit two screw caps.4.2.5 Remove batteries for a minimum of 2 minutes after installation. This will enable the cat flap to retune itself to its new location.4.3 Glass Panels:4.3.1 We recommend that you ask a glazier to cut a hole of 232mm (9 1/8) diameter in the position required and then install the cat flap as detailed below. Alternatively, you may refer to replace the glass panel with a clear plastic panel and install as instructions.Note: It is not possible to cut a hole in double glazed or toughened glass. You will need a new glass panel with the hole already cut from your glazier.4.3.2 Determine thickness of panel, (t).4.3.3 The black foam seal is not suitable for fitting to glass and should be removed. If desired, the exterior frame may be sealed to the glass panel using silicone sealant.4.3.4 Position interior frame on inside of panel, screw exterior frame to it by using appropriate screws for panel thickness, (t). If necessary, cut supplied screws to length. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS which may prevent the flap from closing properly - use a manual screw driver. Finally fit two screw caps.4.4. Wall Fitting:If you are installing your cat flap in a wall, you will need to purchase Cat Mate Elite Wall Liners. You will need 1 wall liner for every 50mm (2) of wall thickness over 100mm (4). 4.4.1 Create a rectangular hole in your wall 205mm (8) high by 180mm (7) wide.4.4.2 Remove interior frame battery cover by pushing up as shown.4.4.3 Remove interior frame cover by unscrewing 2 screws in rear of interior frame. (Note: these screws may be discarded as it will be impossible to refit them). Next remove the outermost 2 screws under the battery cover and remove the interior frame by pivoting down.4.4.4 Carefully remove 2 screw clips with pliers.4.4.5 Fit interior frame assembled with requisite number of wall liners to interior wall securing in position with 2 suitable screws. (Note: you will need to fit a washer (not supplied) under the head of the screws). If required, the wall liners may be glued in place, although a firm push fit will usually suffice.4.4.6 Refit interior frame cover with 2 screws under battery cover, taking great care not to trap electrical wires. Replace the battery cover.4.4.7 Fit exterior frame using 2 off 25mm (1) screws supplied and finally, fit 2 screw caps.5. Training Your Cat to Use the Cat Flap (or if Your Cat Has Lost its I.D. Disc):It may take a little time for your cat to get used to its new cat flap. To help your cat get used to entering and exiting the flap, the flap can be set to 'TRAINING MODE' by pressing and holding the 'PROG' button and within 3 seconds briefly pressing the '4 WAY' button.After 5 seconds the lock will unlock and the 'PROG' button should then be released. The 'IN & OUT' symbol will remain flashing.Please be aware that in 'TRAINING MODE' your cat flap will allow access for other animals.To exit the 'TRAINING MODE', press and hold the 'PROG' button and within 3 seconds briefly press the '4 WAY' button. After 5 seconds the flap will re-lock and the 'PROG' button should then be released.For very hesitant cats, whilst in the 'TRAINING MODE', use food to encourage the cat to enter and exit the flap.NOTE: We do NOT recommend that cats, particularly kittens, are left alone to use their cat flap until you are satisfied that they are completely familiar with its operation.6. Viewing Your Cat’s Location:The LCD shows at a glance, the location of up to three cats (1-3).Please note the display is only a guide to your cats' location. The cat flap determines the location of your cat by recording its last movement through the cat flap. The results may be misleading if the cat has an alternative entrance/exit to the house or if the cat has followed another cat through the cat flap; if it only puts its nose out of the cat flap etc.7.
