Checklist For All Installations; Measurement And Marking - Petsafe Petporte smart flap Guide D'installation

Checklist for all installations:

Before positioning the Petporte smart flap
If fitted into a door: Will any of the components of the Petporte smart flap
If fitted into a wall: Are there any objects such as doors that could open on to the Petporte smart flap
Where is the closest mains power outlet? Your Petporte smart flap
If your nearest mains power outlet is more than 2.2 m away then you will require an Extension Lead. Please refer to the Accessories section for information
on purchasing a 5 m Extension Lead.
Battery operation alone. For reliable and fast operation we recommend the use of the external power supply included with the Petporte smart flap
However, an optional 9-volt (IEC 6LR61) battery may be plugged in so that during mains power cuts your cat will still be able to use the Cat Flap. We
recommend the use of a good quality non-rechargeable lithium battery in order to give the longest battery life. Please note that there is reduced
functionality in battery-only mode (See the "Battery Backup Facility" section of the Installation Guide for more details.
When the Petporte smart flap
®
will normally register and unlock the Cat Flap before your cat is at the transparent door flap. When using batteries, your cat will need to push the
transparent door flap in order to activate the microchip scanner. If your cat just sits outside the Cat Flap then it will not activate the scanner and will not
allow access.
Extension tunnels for doors over 52 mm thick and walls. Please note that the Petporte smart flap
up to 52 mm thick. If your installation requires a tunnel longer than this, extra tunnel sections, each providing 40 mm of additional length, are available .
Please refer to the Accessories section for information on purchasing additional Extension Tunnels. Extension Tunnels can be stacked together by glueing
and pushing them together.
Is there a large step down from your door? 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 Petporte smart flap should be installed as low down on the door as is possible. If necessary, a little step can be installed which 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).
If there is an existing opening in your door, is it greater than 212 mm diameter (circular) or 171 mm wide X 180 mm tall? If an
existing opening in your door or wall is greater than these dimensions, then it is acceptable to fit the Petporte smart flap
outdoor cover plates cover the opening. If the opening is larger than the indoor and outdoor cover plates, the Petporte smart flap
replacing the door panel or constructing panels to cover the existing opening so that a smaller opening can be cut.

Measurement and marking

Measure the belly height of your cat. This is usually 100 mm -150 mm (Figure A).
Mark this measurement on the outside of your door and draw a straight horizontal
line 171 mm (Figure B).
Please bear in mind that this line will eventually be the bottom of the hole you will cut
in your door and that the frame of the Cat Flap will be slightly lower. If necessary, this
line may have to be raised slightly to account for this.
