Description
The PetSafe Petporte Cat Smart Flap is an electronic cat flap that provides freedom and independence for your pet.
The PetSafe Petporte Cat Smart Flap is an electronic, intelligent cat flap that will give your pet freedom and independence. This cat flap, which can be mounted on a door, wall, or window, allows your pet to enter and exit the house at any time. You don't have to interrupt your activities to let your pet out, and then watch them return to let them in again. Furthermore, this entryway model features an access lock for prohibited animals. The flap only allows entry to cats with a microchip embedded in the flap's "memory." When a cat approaches the entrance, the built-in microchip reader scans the number on the microchip located in the cat's body and, if it successfully identifies the number, releases the access lock. Other cats outside the house cannot move the flap or pass through the opening. You can assign up to 25 cats to the database. The flap is compatible with the most common type of chip implanted by veterinarians, the 15-digit FDX-B microchip.
Features:
- Night Mode - when darkness falls, the system blocks your cat's access. At dawn, the lock is released, allowing your pet to re-enter the house.
- Set Light Level - decide how much light will lock and unlock the flap.
- Timer Mode - you can also manually set the time for the flap to lock and unlock.
- Vet Mode - if you don't want your cat to leave the house, for example, before a planned vet visit, this mode prevents your pet from going outside, and the flap lock will remain active until you deactivate it.
- Lock Return Time - By default, the flap remains unlocked for 4 seconds after detecting a registered microchip. If your cat needs more time to pass through the opening or is frequently chased by other animals and you don't want its tormentors to follow it into the house, you can change the time after which the flap will be locked.
- Key Pad Lock - prevents use of the control panel. This protects the flap from being changed by children, for example.
- Silent Mode - By default, a short beep indicates a successful chip scan. Silent Mode turns this beep off.
- Open Mode - allows all pets to pass through the flap, regardless of whether they have a chip or not.
To activate the flap, connect it to a mains power supply (cable with plug included) or insert four 6LR21 9V batteries. A soft strip surrounds the opening in the frame, providing protection from cold/hot outside air and reducing the flap's noise. The Petporte Smart Cat Flap by PetSafe can be installed in brick walls, wooden, metal, PVC, and UPVC doors, as well as glass doors and windows (single and double glazed). Installation is straightforward, and a special punch and screws are included. The integrated 6.5cm tunnel makes installation easy in thick walls and doors. You can gain an additional 4cm by purchasing the PetSafe Petporte Tunnel Extension. Both the frame and the flap are made of durable plastic, making the product long-lasting and resistant to weather conditions.

Tip: Program your cat’s microchip before installing the door to ensure that the reader detects your chip and to avoid having to hold your cat in the flap. Once your cat's ID has been correctly entered, you should hear the flap unlock. To make it easier for your pet to get through the flap, install it so that your pet doesn't have to climb to get through it. How do you train your pet to use the flap? After installing the flap, leave the flap open for a while (you can attach it to the surface above with a piece of string and tape). Make sure
