Programming Cats into the cat flap
Your PetSafe
®
Microchip Cat Flap is designed to work with most 15-digit microchips (FDX-B) used
for pets. Before you begin setup or installation of the cat flap, please ensure your cat has the correct
type of microchip.
To begin operation, the cat flap must learn the unique microchip Identification Number (ID) of your
cat. Please follow the steps below to begin the setup of your cat flap:
1. The cat flap will be factory pre-set in the locked position. Ensure the manual lock is set to the
“In or Out” position
(See Fig.H)
.
2. When the batteries are intstalled properly, the green LED light will flash three times which
indicates that the cat flap is in Automatic Mode.
3. To enter Learn Mode, press and hold the button until the red LED light appears (about 5
seconds). You will have 60 seconds to position the cat’s head in the tunnel to learn the
microchip ID. Once the cat flap has learned the microchip ID, it will unlatch and the red LED will
turn off. The cat flap will stay in Automatic Mode and will re-latch after 3 seconds.
4. After successfully learning the cat’s microchip ID, you will be ready to install the cat flap into
your door.
Note:
To learn more than one cat, please follow the same steps starting with step No. 3. The
microchip cat flap can store up to 40 micro-chipped cats. Replace the battery cover when the
process is complete for all cats. Keep away all other micro-chipped cats to ensure only 1 cat is
programmed at a time.
Helpful Tip:
Program your cat’s microchip ID before installation to prevent
having to hold your cat in the cat flap once it is installed.
If you are
having trouble programming your cat’s microchip ID, please
ensure that their head is extended into the tunnel or they
pass all the way through the cat flap. You should hear the cat
flap unlatch once it has learned your cat’s microchip ID.
Installation

Microchip Cat Flap is suitable to fit most doors or partitions although additional
materials and competent DIY skills may be required. This cat flap is designed to adapt easily to cut-
out sizes for Staywell

200, 300, 400, 500, 900 and Petporte smart flap
®
series cat flaps. Some
simple DIY skills are required and minor adjustments to the cut-out or additional accessories might
be needed. When replacing a 200 series pet door, the glass adaptor accessory will be needed
for proper installation of the Microchip Cat Flap.
We strongly recommend that your microchip cat flap be programmed for your
cat and a check is made that it works with your cat’s microchip ID first.
