GENERAL INSTALLATION (continued)
Steps down
The ideal height of the cat flap is such that the base of the unit is at the same height as your cat’s stomach. However, due to door
construction, it may not always be possible to mount any cat flap this low and in these circumstances it is recommended that the Smart
Flap should be installed as low down on the door as is possible. If need be a little step will help reduce the distance from the scanner
porch to the cat’s microchip (as long as it is not going to become a tripping hazard for people).
Existing openings
The Smart Flap is designed to fit into the most common cat flap opening i.e. 212 mm diameter or 169 mm by 169mm. If an existing opening
in your door or wall is greater than 212 mm diameter if circular or 169 mm by 169 mm if rectangular then it is ok to fit the Smart Flap,
providing the indoor and outdoor part cover the opening. If the opening is larger than the indoor and outdoor part the Smart Flap may
be fitted by replacing the door panel or constructing panels to cover the opening that can then be cut to form a smaller opening.
SMART FLAP INSTALLATION INTO A NON-GLASS DOOR
Following on from the testing procedure
i)
If the low voltage power supply is plugged in to the mains unplug it.
ii)
Remove the interior large cover self tapping screws, the large interior cover and transparent door.
iii)
Remove the battery if attached.
iv)
Unplug the porch cable connector from the electronics board.
v)
Attach the supplied template to the outside of your door in the selected position ensuring that it is the right way up
and level.
vi)
Drill the two holes with a 7mm-diameter drill bit as marked on the template.
vii)
Cut out the large hole as marked on the door template by the dashed line. When cutting this hole keep to the outside
of the dashed line to ensure that there is clearance for the tunnel.
viii)
Clean the area from any dust, dirt or debris.
ix)
Mount the interior section through the hole with any additional tunnel sections that are required. Figure 11.
x)
Feeding the wire from the porch and external section through the door and through the rectangular slot on the
interior section, mount the exterior section on the outside of the door over the tunnel
xi)
Put the supplied M6 screws through the exterior section and screw into the interior section. Please note depending on
the thickness of your door you may need to cut the screw length down.
xii)
Push the connector onto the electronics board, any excess cable can be routed to the right of the rectangular slot Figure 12.
xiii)
Attach the power cable to the power connector on the electronics board and route the cable along the cable guides so
that the wire passes through one of the slots at the bottom of the cat flap closest to the power supply.
xiv)
If you require an extension cable then it is this that needs to be plugged into the electronics board rather than the
power supply. The provided power supply then connects into the extension cable.
xv)
Replace the transparent door ensuring that the ridge around the door is inward facing.
xvi)
Reattach the interior large cover using the four self tapping screws.
xvii)
If a battery is to be used as an alternative to the power supply or in addition and is not already in place then attach a
PP3 battery and insert into the rectangular slot within the internal section then click the small cover into place over
the battery compartment.
xviii)
When the installation of your Smart Flap is completed, place the screw cap covers over the screws on the exterior frame
and the four cap covers on the interior frame. Figure 13.
xix)
If you select not to use the Smart Flap utilising battery power alone plug in the power supply and switch it on. Your
Smart Flap is now ready to use.
