Your Smart Flap
3) Audible beep: An audible beep gives auditory feedback to your cat and lets you
know when your cat comes home.
4) Vet mode: If you want your animal to stay in, even if it is out at the moment (for
example when you want to take your animal to the vet), then the cat flap will allow
your animal to enter but will prevent it from going out.
5) Weatherproofing: Includes a magnetic latch and draught excluder.
6) Fits traditional cat flap openings : The Smart Flap has been designed to replace
the more traditional cat flap and will fit into a hole either 17cm x 17cm or 21cm diam-
eter. (Please see the installation guide for further information.)
Your Cat's Microchip
Extensive testing of the Pet Porte, with a large range of available microchip manu-
facturers, has proved that the technology behind the Pet Porte range of cat flaps
works perfectly with the majority of FDX-B microchips.
However, a very small percentage of cats have a microchip that has a reduced read
range and slow reaction time. This does not mean the microchip is faulty as your vet
can still scan for it with their own handheld scanners when in close proximity to the
microchip. On these rare occasions the Pet Porte Smart Flap can only be used as a
traditional cat flap without selective entry or exit.
If a new hole in a door or wall is to be cut for installation, we strongly advise testing
your Smart Flap with your cats first.
