Introduction

• Congratulations on your purchase of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap. This cat flap has been designed to recognise either the microchip already implanted in your cat or the SureFlap RFID Collar
• Tag (sold separately), allowing access to your pet whilst keeping out animal intruders. Your home becomes a secure environment for your pet, leading to a happier, more relaxed animal.
• Operation of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap couldn’t be simpler. Once the batteries have been inserted, the flap can be put into learn mode. The next cat to pass through the flap from either direction, or to put its head into the tunnel with its nose up to the door, will have its microchip number stored in the memory. Now the cat flap is ready to install and will unlock whenever your cat wants to come into the house.
• Multiple cats are no problem. Up to 32 cats can be programmed into the flap at the same time – more than enough for most people’s needs!
• The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap has all the features you would expect from a high quality cat flap, including:
  • Robust and elegant design
  • Learn mode for programming multiple cats
  • 4-way manual lock
  • Low battery indicator
  • Typical battery lifetime at least 6 months 1

We wish you years of trouble-free operation with your SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap and hope you enjoy the benefits it brings to your home and pet.

Microchip Type

The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is compatible with all the following types of microchip commonly used for pets.

• 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 SureFlap RFID Collar Tag (sold separately).
Extensive tests have shown that the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap works perfectly with the vast majority of microchips. However a very small percentage of cats have a microchip without the required range for the cat flap – this does not mean there is a problem with the microchip. In these rare cases please contact our customer service team for assistance.
If permanent changes to a door or wall are required for installation we strongly advise testing the SureFlap Microchip 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). 1 Based on normal usage. Note that heavy usage by many cats may reduce battery lifetime.

The SureFlap RFID Collar Tag

We recommend microchipping over the use of collar mounted tags, as microchips are a permanent form of identification that cannot become lost.
However, if your pet is not, or cannot, be microchipped and you choose to use the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag, always use a safety collar that has a breakaway buckle.
The SureFlap RFID Collar Tag is a small, lightweight tag that can be attached directly to your pet’s collar. Like microchips, each collar tag has a unique code, to prevent any non-resident pets or strays from entering your home.
SureFlap RFID Collar Tags are available via the SureFlap website or from our retail and veterinary stockists.

Learn Mode

To start operation, the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap needs to learn the unique ID code of your cat’s microchip. This process is only required once for each cat, as the code is permanently stored, even if the batteries are removed. Follow the simple step-by-step guide below to carry out this process:

1. Initially the unit will be locked and no cat will be allowed to enter the house. Make sure the manual lock is set to position 1, allowing the door to open freely. See Figure 1.
2. Remove the battery cover. Press the memory button for around 1 second and release. See Figure 2.
3. The catch will open, allowing a cat to pass through the flap in either direction. A further indication that the unit is in learn mode is the indicator lamp which will flash every second. See Figure 3.
4. The next cat to pass through the flap from either direction, or to put its head into the tunnel with its nose up to the door, will have its microchip number stored in the memory (assuming it has a microchip implanted).
5. Once a cat’s microchip number has been successfully learnt, the flap reverts to normal operation. The indicator lamp stops flashing and the catch will close a couple of seconds after the cat has moved away from the cat flap.

For multiple cats, repeat the process until all cats’ microchip numbers have been learnt. The microchip numbers of up to 32 different cats can be stored in memory. Replace the battery cover when the learn process has been completed for each cat.
This method of learning is particularly convenient for uncooperative cats! Rather than having to find your cat and pass it through the flap, you can simply set to learn mode and leave until it next decides to go through of its own free will.
To cancel learn mode (e.g. after pressing the memory button accidentally) simply press the memory button again for around 1 second and the unit will revert to normal operation.

In order to learn a cat’s microchip number, a sensor located in the tunnel must detect a cat’s presence to trigger the microchip reader. Therefore it is important to ensure that your cat either puts its head into the tunnel or passes through the flap. No amount of waving your cat in front of the flap will have an effect.

To learn the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag carry out steps one and two above. Hold the collar tag in your hand and then place your hand inside the tunnel of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap making sure that you touch the door. The unique code of the collar tag will now be stored in the memory.

Installation

DIY installation may involve the use of power tools or cut glass. Safety equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) should be used and if in doubt consult a professional to carry out the installation.

Suitable door types

Instructions are provided for installation in all door types, including wooden, plastic, glass, and metal. Before installing in a door with unknown construction please check for a metal plate in case a larger hole is required, as described in the metal door installation section. If you can only be sure of the construction of the door by drilling a hole in it, make a trial hole anywhere covered by the proposed hole for the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap.

Cat Flap positioning

The ideal height of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is such that the base of the tunnel is the same height above the ground as your cat’s stomach. In practice however, mounting is normally dictated by features in the door into which the unit will be installed. In these circumstances, it is usual to mount the cat flap as low as possible.

Installation in wooden doors, plastic doors, or plasterboard walls

1. Place the external frame face down as in Figure 4. Attach a ball of Blu Tack (or similar adhesive putty) in each of the four corners. These should allow you to stick the frame to most doors.

2. Choose the position on the door at which you want to mount the cat flap and stick the frame to the door. To ensure that it is level we recommend you use a spirit level as shown in Figure 5.

3. Use a sharpened pencil or pen to mark where the inside of the frame touches the door as well as the two screw holes. You need to make a legible line as this will be used for cutting against.

4. Remove the frame from the door and check you have a solid line and dots where the screw holes are, as in Figure 6. Using a drill with a 6mm (1/4”) diameter bit, drill the two holes for the screws. It is vital these holes are drilled straight to ensure the two halves of the cat flap connect properly.

5. Before you cut out the hole for the tunnel drill holes in all the corners large enough to allow your jigsaw blade through. Cut out the tunnel hole with an electric jigsaw – ensure you cut 3mm (1/8”) outside the line you have marked for the hole to allow enough clearance for the tunnel. Make sure that your jigsaw is sitting flat on the door at all times while cutting. See Figure 7.

6. Clean off any loose debris, dust and dirt from the door before you install the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap, see Figure 8.

7. Mount the cat flap in the hole with the main assembly (battery cover) inside the house. See Figure 9.

8. Mount the external frame on the outside of the house. Depending on the thickness of the door, the tunnel will protrude through the frame by differing amounts. Under no circumstances
   should you cut or drill through the tunnel as this contains the microchip reader and will prevent the unit from working properly. Three different lengths of screw have been provided for your use. Choose the correct screw length to suit the thickness of your door. If you are not sure, use the smallest first, if this is too short use the next size up. Take care not to use a longer screw than needed, as this may damage the main assembly front face. Screw the external frame to the main assembly. See Figure 10.

9. When the cat flap has been mounted correctly, place the screw caps over the screw holes on the external frame. Align the screw caps with the slot pointing inwards and push firmly into place. To remove the screw caps slide a flat blade screwdriver into the side slot and lever the cap out of the hole. See Figure 11.

Installation in glass doors or windows

When working with cut glass always wear protective gloves as the edges may be sharp.

• SureFlap is ideal for mounting in single or double-glazed windows. If you need to have a hole cut in a window, please ask a qualified glazier to do it, as cutting glass is a skilled job. If you need to get a hole cut in your window a circular hole with a diameter of 212mm (8 3/8”) is the ideal size. A mounting adaptor is available to complete an installation in glass, and is suitable for covering holes from 210mm (8 1/4”) to 260mm (10 1/4”) in diameter, see Figure 12.
• For details of where to purchase this adaptor see our website www.sureflap.com.
• If you have a double-glazed window you will need to get a replacement unit manufactured with the hole cut in it.

Once your glass has been cut and installed in the door or window you are ready to complete the install.

1. A circular hole 212mm in diameter is required to accommodate the tunnel. See Figure 13.
2. If installing the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap in a double glazed panel you may choose to seal between the panels around the circular hole to avoid moisture collecting inside. Do not use metal in any such seal.
3. We recommend running a bead of ‘All Weather Sealant’ around the edge of the hole on both sides of the glass, see Figure 14. The sealant will help secure the cat flap in place after installation, particularly with larger hole sizes, and also help prevent moisture getting in from outside. This type of sealant can be purchased from a glazing company and most DIY stores.
4. Slide one of the mounting adaptor rings over the main assembly, see Figure 15.
5. From inside the house slide the tunnel of the main assembly through the hole in the glass. From outside the assembly should look like that of Figure 16.
6. From outside mount the second part of the mounting adaptor and then the external frame, see Figure 17. When working with cut glass always wear protective gloves as the edges may be sharp.
7. Screw the two halves together as in Figure 18. If mounting in a single pane use the shortest of the three pairs of screws. A double glazed panel may require the mid-sized screw, depending on its thickness. Check the assembly is centred with the circular hole before fully tightening the screws.
8. Align the white screw caps with the slot pointing inwards and then push firmly into place
9. From the inside of the house you will now see your cat’s stylish new entrance as in Figure 19.

Installation in metal doors
The presence of a metal plate in a door can influence the performance of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap, reducing the range of the microchip reader. This includes the following:

• Metal skin doors
• Security doors
• Metal garage doors
• UPVC coated metal doors

For most situations you will not notice anything, as the read range will still be sufficient for the majority of microchips. However, if you experience intermittent operation or failure to open for your cat, first check for the presence of a metal plate in the door. Note that UPVC coated metal doors often look the same as standard UPVC doors and you may need to look carefully where the panel has been cut. If a metal plate is confirmed, follow the instructions below for improved read range.
Improved installation in metal doors requires the mounting adaptor shown in Figure 12. For details of where to purchase this adaptor see our website www.sureflap.com.

1. Cut a circular hole in the door 212mm (8 3/8”) in diameter. Install the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap in this circular hole according to the instructions in section 6.2. The circular hole removes some metal in the vicinity of the reader antenna, which sits within the tunnel. The result will be improved read range and more reliable performance.
2. If you still experience intermittent operation, increase the diameter of the hole from 212mm (8.5”) to the maximum diameter of 260mm (10 1/4”) that can be accommodated with the mounting adaptor. This will extend the read range further and should resolve any issues with mounting in a metal door.

If you have followed the steps above and are still experiencing performance issues please follow the steps in the troubleshooting section. If all other troubleshooting has been carried out without finding the source of the problem please contact SureFlap customer service for further assistance.

Installation in walls

When you are making holes through the wall of your property please consult a qualified builder. Protective clothing (gloves, eye & ear protection etc.) should be worn when carrying out the installation.

Note : When planning the installation of a SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap into a wall, remember that you may need to remove the cat flap in the future to replace the door or upgrade to a newer model. With this in mind do not glue the main assembly of the unit to the wall, as removing it will be difficult and could damage the surface of your wall.

For installation of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap in a wall we recommend using the following accessories:

• SureFlap Cat Flap Mounting Adaptor (Product Code: GMA001)
• SureFlap Cat Flap Tunnel Extender (Product Code: TUN001)

1. Choose your mounting position on the wall so that your cat has easy access through the flap and into the tunnel from outside.
2. Mark a 170mm x 170mm (6 11/16” x 6 11/16”) square on the wall at the position of the tunnel.
3. Make a hole through the wall using appropriate tools and ensure that the tunnel is horizontal. A slight slope downwards from the inside of the house to the outside will ensure any rain runs out of the tunnel.
4. Apply superglue to the four tabs of the tunnel extender as shown in Figure 20 and fit the tunnel extenders together. When the glue has dried apply weatherproof tape to the outside of the tunnel as shown in Figure 21.
5. Follow step 4 to bond all of the tunnel extenders together – Remember do not glue the tunnel extender to the tunnel of the cat flap, just use tape for this joint when you come to it.
6. Take one of the mounting adaptors and drill 4 holes in it using a 4mm (0.15”) drill bit – these four holes are for the screws that will hold the cat flap to the inside wall of your house. You can put the four screws where you like around the perimeter of the mounting adaptor. See Figure 22.
7. Now take the two shortest screws from the box and using a washer screw the mounting adaptor to the cat flap as shown in Figure 23.
8. Place the cat flap (with the mounting adaptor) in the hole in your wall on the inside of your house.
9. Mark the positions for the four screws through the holes you have made in the mounting adaptor. You will also need to remove some material from the wall to allow for the screw and washer which hold the mounting adaptor to the main assembly – this will ensure that the mounting adaptor fits flush with the wall. See Figure 24.
10. Drill the four holes in your wall using an appropriate drill bit to suit the construction of your wall and your chosen screws.
11. Tape the tunnel extender to the end of the cat flap’s tunnel as shown in Figure 25.
12. Place the cat flap and the tunnel through the hole in your wall and screw it in place using the four screws through the mounting adaptor – see Figure 26.
13. On the outside of your house you will now have the tunnel sticking out of the wall – take the external frame and other mounting adaptor and place these over the end of the tunnel.
14. Mark the position of the two screw holes required to mount the external frame and then drill appropriate holes in the wall.
15. Screw the external frame and mounting adaptor to your external wall.
16. To hold the end of the tunnel in position we recommend using small screws to secure the tunnel to the external frame as shown in Figure 27.
17. We recommend putting some waterproof sealant between the tunnel and the external frame to prevent water getting into the wall cavity.

Electrical interference

The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap contains a sensitive radio receiver to pick up the signal from your cat’s microchip. In rare instances, excessive levels of electrical interference can cause the range of the system to degrade. Avoid the following situations:

1. The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap should not be used in the vicinity of other microchip readers or similar low frequency devices. These are particularly detrimental to performance and may prevent normal operation.
2. Avoid obvious sources of electrical noise such as faulty, flickering lights.
3. Avoid trailing mains cables and DC mains adaptors very close to the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap.

If you suspect electrical interference may be affecting the performance of your SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap please contact customer service for assistance.

Batteries

The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap requires 4x AA 1.5V batteries. With normal usage, one set of batteries will typically last for at least 6 months 2. A low battery indicator tells you when the batteries have run out and is described in section 10.
After inserting the batteries, leave the unit for about 10 seconds before allowing a cat into the tunnel – this allows the electronic sensors to settle properly.
We recommend the use of good quality, alkaline batteries with the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap in order to give the longest lifetime. We do not recommend using rechargeable batteries because they generally produce a lower voltage which may cause the low battery indicator light to flash, even when the batteries do not need recharging.

Normal Operation

• Normal operation couldn’t be simpler. Once programmed, the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap will only allow entry for your cat(s), denying access to intruder animals.
• To enter the house, the cat puts its head in the tunnel to push the flap open. A sensor detects the cat’s presence and quickly reads the microchip or collar tag, opening the catch if required. Note that the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap does not activate if your cat is just wandering in front of the flap, inside or outside the house.
• The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is designed for one-way operation only. Any animal inside the house is allowed to leave, but only your animals are allowed to enter. This is a useful fail-safe to allow exit under rare circumstances – if your cat is followed inside before the flap has time to close, you don’t want the intruder trapped inside! If you need to control exit from the house then use the 4-way manual lock described in section 9.
• After the cat flap has opened, it will stay unlocked until after your cat has passed through the tunnel. The catch will close around one second later. Note that the catch will also open when your cat leaves the house, although this is not absolutely necessary.
• One further feature of the flap is a magnetic catch that keeps the door closed when not in use.

When testing the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap before installation, your cat will need to push its head against the flap from the tunnel side of the unit or pass all the way through the flap. There is a sensor that detects the cat’s presence in the tunnel that needs to be triggered and no amount of waving your cat in front of the flap will have an effect.

4-way Manual Lock

The manual lock has 4 positions which control the opening of the flap in either direction. The unit is shipped in position 4 (locked both directions) to keep the flap secure in transit. This should be changed to position 1 before programming.

Note that the door of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap must hang straight down when you move the lock as it engages with the bottom of the door.

1. Position 1 – Fully open
   Cat is allowed to enter and exit the house. This is the standard position for normal operation of the flap.

2. Position 2 – Exit only
   Cat is allowed to exit the house, but prevented from entering the house.

3. Position 3 – Enter only
   Cat is allowed to enter the house, but is prevented from exiting the house. This mode is useful if you need to keep your cat in e.g. to take him to the vet.

4. Position 4 – Fully locked
   Cat is prevented from entering or exiting the house..

Low Battery Indicator

Batteries last typically for at least 6 months with normal levels of use. When the batteries are nearing the end of their life, the low battery indicator comes on. This is a slow flash of the indicator lamp, once every 5 seconds. The unit will continue to operate when the low battery indicator is on, however, the batteries should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
Note the slow flash of the lamp (every 5 seconds) for the low battery indicator is different from the fast flashing (every second) in learn mode. Learn mode should not be used when the batteries are low – replace the batteries before programming a new microchip or collar tag into the memory.

Memory Wipe

It is very unlikely that you will need to wipe a cat’s ID code from the cat flap’s memory. Up to 32 different codes can be stored in memory, and if more additional codes are learnt these simply replace the earliest ones stored. However, in the unlikely circumstance that you need to wipe the memory (e.g. you accidentally program for next door’s cat!), follow the process below.

• Press and hold the memory button for at least 10 seconds.
• The indicator lamp will stay on for the duration that the button is held down.
• When the memory is wiped, the catch will open and close once.
• At this point the memory is clear and the cat flap can re-learn your cat(s) microchip numbers, as required. See section 5.

Switching Off/Use As A Non-Selective Cat Flap

In the event that you want to turn off your SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap and revert to using it as a standard cat flap, follow the four steps below:

• Remove the battery cover and make sure batteries are installed.
• Press the memory button once to put the cat flap into learn mode. The catch will open and the indicator lamp will flash.
• Remove the batteries and replace the battery cover.
• The catch will stay open and the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap can now be used as a standard cat flap.

This mode may be useful if you have purchased the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap before your cat has been microchipped or while your cat is getting used to the presence of its new cat flap (see troubleshooting guide). Alternatively, the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag is available if your cat is not yet microchipped .

Maintenance

• The sensor that detects the presence of a cat in the tunnel is optical and is situated on the inside roof of the tunnel, close to the flap. If these lenses become obscured by dirt, unreliable operation and/or shortened battery lifetime may result. Wipe these lenses with a damp cloth every couple of months.

• The operation of the sensor relies on a reflection from the base of the tunnel, which should also be kept reasonably clean. If you have a brown SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap, please ensure the silver reflective sticker is kept free from dirt. If you notice that the sticker is missing please contact SureFlap customer service or replace it with the spare sticker provided.

• When cleaning your SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap please ensure to remove all hair from
  the top draught excluder on the door. A build-up of cat hair on this area of the door can obstruct the lenses of the cat flap, causing the unit to be permanently scanned, and therefore drain the batteries.

• After cleaning, leave the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap for approximately 10 seconds for the unit to settle before normal operation returns.

 Troubleshooting

Symptom: The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap does not learn your cat’s microchip number or collar tag correctly or fails to open for your cat

• Check batteries are fitted the right way round and are not run down. Ensure batteries are good quality alkaline batteries.
• Check if the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is mounted in a metal door. If this is the case, follow the instructions in section 6.3 for improved mounting.
• Ensure the tunnel and sensor lenses are reasonably clean (see section 13).
• After inserting batteries did you leave the cat flap for around 10 seconds before allowing a cat into the tunnel? If not, remove batteries for at least 2 minutes to reset the unit.
• Check that there are no obvious sources of electrical noise in the area e.g. faulty flickering lights, other similar microchip readers, etc (see section 6.5).
• Check the learn process was carried out correctly for each of the cats you own. For example, when you have put the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap into learn mode for the second of two cats, make sure that the first cat doesn’t go through the flap instead. If in doubt, repeat the learn process for your cats.
• Under rare circumstances the microchip range is not enough for the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap to operate. If all other troubleshooting has been carried out without finding the source of the problem, please contact SureFlap customer service for further assistance.

Symptom: Short battery lifetime

• Ensure the tunnel and sensor lenses are clean (see section 13).
• If you are experiencing short battery life (less than 6 months), please check the top draught excluder for a build-up of fur (see section 13).
• Check that there are no obvious sources of electrical noise in the area e.g. faulty flickering lights, etc (see section 6.5).
• If you have a brown SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap please check that the silver reflective sticker is in place on the bottom of the tunnel and is free from dirt. If you notice that the sticker is missing please contact SureFlap customer service or replace with the spare sticker provided.

Symptom: Catch takes about 10 seconds to close

Occasionally the sensor that detects the presence of the cat in the tunnel needs to reset itself, which takes approximately 10 seconds to register. This is quite normal, however if this starts to happen often check that the lenses and tunnel are clean (see section 13).

Symptom: Cat is put off by the noise of the catch

• Your cat will learn to love its SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap, however a small proportion of cats are initially put off by the noise of the catch opening, particularly if they are not used to using a selective entry flap. If your cat does not adjust immediately to the use of the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap then use the following process to coax it into using it. With a bit of persistence all cats will learn to use the flap.
• First follow the instructions in section 12 and leave the cat flap turned off. This will allow it to start using the flap without any noise from the catch.
• Once your cat is used to the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap being there insert the batteries. If it is still unwilling to use it, prop the flap open with the door facing inside the house. A simple method is to use tape between the bottom of the flap and the top of the main assembly. This will allow it to get used to the opening click while also having an inviting open hole to go through.
• Finally let the door swing shut and allow it to start using the flap. Strategic positioning of food inside/outside the house can also help encourage the initial use of the flap.

Symptom: Constant clicking sound

• A constant clicking sound can be caused by faulty batteries or poor contact with the batteries.
• Firstly, clean the end of the batteries and the connectors on the cat flap with a dry cloth.
• If this does not resolve the issue replace the batteries with good quality alkaline batteries.

Factory Reset
In the unlikely event that the unit needs resetting to a known state, follow the instructions below to revert to the factory settings.

• Carry out the memory wipe function from section 11.
• Remove the batteries for at least 2 minutes.
• The unit is now completely reset.
