SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Cat Mate Elite I.D. Disc Cat Flap with Timer Control.
CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND PROGRAM THE CAT FLAP BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT.

The Cat Mate Elite I.D. Disc Cat Flap with Timer Control allows you to control individual entry and exit of up to 9 cats. If required, an overriding timer function can control the 4 way lock for ALL cats. 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.

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 system 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 (see Fig. 2). The cover will snap off.
2.2 Insert 4 x AA (R6) batteries as shown (Fig. 3), 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 ((4) Fig. 1.) 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 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 recognise your cat(s) I.D. Disc you need to do the following:

3.1 Press and hold the 'PROG' button for 5 seconds (①, Fig. 1) until the search indicator (②, Fig. 1) appears.

3.2 'CAT 1' and the number '1' will flash - there will be lines moving around the first TWO ZEROS'.

3.3 Place the front of the I.D. Disc up against the flap (Fig. 4).

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 3.1 to 3.5.

4. Fitting Instructions

IMPORTANT - DO NOT CUT TUNNEL OF CAT 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. (Fig. 5a). If you must fit higher consider providing a step to help your cat enter.
4.1.2 Draw around the aperture (Fig. 5a), then using an electric jigsaw cut 5mm([3]16^ ) outside of the line. (Fig. 5b). 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). (Fig. 7).
4.1.4 Holding the interior frame and the exterior frame in position, mark the 2 screw holes. (Fig. 8).
4.1.5 Remove the frames and drill screw clearance holes in panel to 6mm ( l_4^m ) 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), as shown in Fig. 9. 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. (Fig. 6a). If you must fit higher consider providing a step to help your cat enter.
4.2.2 Draw around the OUTSIDE of the frame. (Fig. 6a). Using an electric jigsaw cut 12mm ( 12 ) INSIDE the line (Fig. 6b).

4.2.3 Determine thickness of door panel, (t). (Fig. 7).
4.2.4 Position interior frame on inside of door and screw exterior frame to it by using appropriate screws for panel thickness, (t), as shown in Fig. 9. If necessary, cut supplied screws to length. DO NOT OVERLIGHTEN 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^ / s^m) diameter in the position required and then install the cat flap as detailed below. Alternatively, you may prefer to replace the glass panel with a clear plastic panel and install as instructions 4.1.1 to 4.1.6. 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). (Fig. 7).
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), as shown in Fig. 9. If necessary, cut supplied screws to length. DO NOT OVERLIGHTEN 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 50mm (2^ ) .
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 (Fig. 2).
4.4.3 Remove interior frame cover by unscrewing 2 screws in rear of interior frame (Fig. 10). (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 (Fig. 11).
4.4.4 Carefully remove 2 screw clips with pliers. (Fig. 12).
4.4.5 Fit interior frame assembled with requisite number of wall liners to interior wall securing in position with 2 suitable screws as shown in Fig. 13. (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. Fitting I.D. Disc(s) to your Cat(s)

5.1 If desired, record your cat's details on the I.D. label by writing on the label in pen and sticking the clear waterproof cover over the writing.
5.2 IMPORTANT: Attach the I.D. Disc directly to the collar, NOT from a ring attached to the collar) so that it is as high as possible and parallel to flap (as shown in Fig. 14).
We recommend the use of a fabric collar without large metal attachments (other name discs etc.).

6. 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.

If your cat still has difficulty using the cat flap after successfully using training mode, you may wish to disable high security mode temporarily or permanently to enable easier entry/exit by your cat (See Section 13).

7. Viewing Your Cat's Location

The LCD shows at a glance, the location of up to three cats (1-3).

The cat last went through the The cat last went through the flap, coming into the house. flap, going out of the house.

Please note this 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.

9.5 Setting Timer Control/Clock for ALL Cats

If you wish to set your cat flap to ensure that ALL cats have a particular access option, over a selected timed period, e.g. to keep your cat(s) in at night between 19:00 and 06:00, you will first need to decide:

a) Which lock setting should apply DURING the timed period, (in the above example 'IN ONLY' will apply). Outside the timed period, the lock setting made in 9.1 to 9.3 will apply.

11. Reprogramming an I.D Disc

11.1 Press the 'PROG' button for 5 seconds, the next unused Cat number will flash and there will be lines moving around the first TWO ZEROS'.
11.2 Press the +1 button to select the appropriate Cat number you wish to reprogram or select the next available Cat number. (A P' next to the Cat number indicates that it has already been programmed, although you may reprogram as follows).
11.3 Place the front of the I.D. Disc up against the flap (Fig. 4).
11.4 When programmed, the 'TWO ZEROS' will disappear and 'Pr' will flash.
11.5 Press the 'PROG' button to save the setting.

For additional cats, up to a maximum of 9, repeat steps 11.1 to 11.5.

12. Factory Reset

To reset the cat flap back to the setting when you first bought it, press and hold the "+" button for about 30 seconds until all symbols show on LCD. After a period of self checking, the 'IN & OUT' symbol will be all that is visible on the LCD display. This procedure will erase all I.D. Disc(s) and all other settings. You will then need to reprogram the I.D. Disc(s) (See Section 3).

13. High Security Mode

This cat flap is supplied with high security mode enabled ('Eon') to ensure no unwanted entry by other cats or raccoons.

If your cat still has difficulty using the cat flap after successfully using training mode, you may wish to disable high security mode ('EOFF') temporarily or permanently to enable easier entry/exit by your cat.

You can disable high security mode as follows:

13.1 Press and hold 'PROG' button and within 3 seconds briefly press the +^ button. When the display shows 'Eon' (high security mode enabled) release the 'PROG' button.
13.2 You may toggle between 'Eon' and 'EOFF' by pressing the '4 WAY' button. Press 'PROG' to save the desired setting.

14. Troubleshooting

14.1 Cat will not use the flap

It may take time for timid cats to learn how to use the cat flap - even if they have used another cat flap before.
- First try using 'TRAINING MODE' (See Section 6).
- Disable high security mode so your cat will find it easier to use the flap (See Section 13).

14.2 Flap does not open in response to programmed I.D. Disc

• If fitted in UPVC / metal door, ensure correct cut out size has been made (See Section 4.2).
• When fitted to UPVC / metal door check the unit has been retuned by removing batteries for a minimum of 2 minutes.
• Check '4 WAY' lock is programmed to permit access in the chosen direction (See Section 9).
• Ensure a timed lock is not activated, (evident by flashing '4 WAY' lock setting). If required, cancel the timed lock (See Sections 9.5.12 to 9.5.14).
• If display shows 'IND' check that the cat seeking access is allowed access in the direction being sought by pressing the '4 WAY' button for 1 second and release repeatedly. If necessary, reprogram the cats individual access option. (See Section 9.4).
• The high security mode may have been activated (denoted by 'Eon' on the display). Do not move the flap until 'Eon' disappears.
• Check batteries are correctly orientated (Fig. 3) and the low battery indicator (4), Fig.1) does not show.
  Check the I.D. Disc is correctly fitted to cat's collar (See Section 5.2).
• If possible, try operation with another programmed I.D. Disc to ascertain if there is a fault with a particular I.D. Disc.
• Check that the cat flap is mounted at correct height (See Section 4).
• If all else fails, remove batteries and wait a minimum of 5 minutes. Refit batteries and then perform a 'FACTORY RESET' (See Section 12).

14.3 Flap has not fully closed

• Check that the cat flap frame is not overtightened with the 2 fixing screws. Try loosening screws slightly.
• Very occasionally this will be due to an unusual event in which the electronics will normally self correct within 30 minutes. If problem persists remove batteries for 30 minutes before replacing when correct lock action should be resumed.

14.4 Difficulty in setting required functions/times

• Buttons need to be pressed firmly.
• Remember to press the 'PROG' button after making any change to save the setting.

14.5 Display locks up

• Remove batteries for 5 minutes, then replace.
  If the display is still locked perform a 'FACTORY RESET' (See Section 12).

14.6 Flap does not lock

• Check flap not in 'TRAINING MODE' (slowly flashing arrows).
• Wait 30 minutes for self correction.
