Operating Modes
Normal Mode
This is the default mode on powering the cat fl ap and will allow only your cat(s) to enter.
Night Mode
For a variety of reasons, many pet owners prefer their animals not to go outside at night. The Petporte smart fl ap® provides a mode
whereby it will automatically prevent your pet from going outside during hours of darkness and the cat fl ap will automatically unlock
when daylight dawns. If your pet is already outside when darkness falls, the system will still allow the animal to enter.
The Night Mode also allows pet owners to set the specifi c time of day that they want the unit to lock and unlock (Timer Mode).
To employ this mode, press the Red button for less than 2 seconds and then release it. The unit will beep and the red light will il-
luminate to inform you that it is in Night Mode (Timer Mode).
• At the pre-set LOCK time or when darkness falls, the green light will illuminate, indicating that the cat fl ap will be locked.
• At the pre-set UNLOCK time or when dawn arrives, the green light will extinguish, indicating that the cat fl ap will be unlocked.
Note: Night mode can take up to 30 seconds to start functioning.
Vet Mode
If you are intending to take your pet to the vet, or just want it to stay inside, then the Petporte smart fl ap
® provides a mode whereby
your cat can enter but will not be allowed out again.
To employ this mode, press the Red Button for 5 seconds, or until the red light begins to fl ash, and then release it. The unit will then
beep and the red light will start to fl ash, indicating that the cat fl ap is locked and your cat cannot go out.
To exit this mode, press the Red Button again for 5 seconds, or until the red light begins to fl ash, and then release it. The unit will
beep again and the red light will extinguish.
Extended Modes
The Petporte smart fl ap
® has a number of extended modes that allow you to customise the Petporte smart fl ap ® to suit your individual needs.
For information on how to use the Extended Modes please see the Extended Modes section on page 19 of this user guide.

If you wish to lock the buttons on your Petporte smart fl ap
