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 (
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 (
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 (

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 OVERTIGHTEN 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
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 OVERTIGHTEN 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.
