Petporte smart fl ap® Assembly (For Testing Purposes Prior to Installation)
Important: Before assembling or disassembling the unit, always ensure that the power is turned off and any installed
battery is removed. (see Figures on page 10-12)
1. Offer the porch up to the front of the exterior section of the cat fl ap (see Figure 1), ensuring that the wire and connector pass through the battery
compartments on the porch and exterior sections.
2. Insert the four plastic “mushroom” pins through the holes on the reverse side of the exterior section of the Petporte smart fl ap ® and through the
porch (see Figure 2).
3. From the inside of the porch, secure the plastic “mushroom” pins in place with the “horseshoe” clips (see Figure 3).
4. Next, remove the Extension Tunnel from the interior section and remove the four self-tapping fi xing screws from the large cover plate separating it
from the main unit (see Figure 4).
5. Remove the transparent door fl ap.
6. Feed the Porch Cable from the porch and through the battery compartment on the interior section (see Figure 5). Mount the exterior section with
attached porch over the tunnel molding on the interior section.
7. Temporarily attach the external and interior sections using the two supplied M6 screws through the exterior section and loosely screw into the
interior section (see Figure 6a).
8. Connect the porch wire and connector onto the electronics board. Any excess cable should be routed to the right of the battery compartment
(see Figure 6b).
9. Attach the low voltage power cable to the power connector on the left of the electronics board and route the cable along the cable guides
so that the wire passes through one of the slots at the bottom of the Petporte smart fl ap ® (see Figure 7). Do not plug in or turn on the power.
Alternatively, or in addition to the power cable, attach a 9-volt PP3 battery and insert into the battery compartment below the electronics board.
10. Replace the transparent door fl ap ensuring that the ridge around the door is inward facing.
11. Place the large cover plate over the interior section and loosely screw in place using the four self tapping screws for testing purposes (see Figure 8).
12. If not already in position click the small cover plate in place over the battery compartment (see Figure 9).
13. Power up your Petporte smart fl ap
® by plugging in and/or turning on the mains supply or temporarily activate the battery by gently pushing the
transparent door fl ap against the green lock to activate a switch. There will be a small mechanical click. Only use the power supply included
with the product. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the cat fl ap.
14. Now please refer to the programming instructions (below) to record your cat’s microchip number into your Petporte smart fl ap ® . Once your cat
is programmed you need to ensure that the Petporte smart fl ap ® can reliably read the microchip at the distance that your cat will approach it
when installed. Repeat this for all of your cats that you want to be programmed in (see Figure 10a and 10b).

Programming Cats Into the Petporte smart fl ap®
Because your Petporte smart fl ap ® is initially supplied unprogrammed, when it is fi rst powered both the green and red lights will fl ash to indicate that
there are no animals programmed in the unit. The door locks will also open, allowing free access for any animal to enter or exit. When programming
the Petporte smart fl ap
® with an animal for the fi rst time or if you exceed the programming time, ensure that your pet is nearby as you have 30
seconds in which to introduce the animal to the scanner (porch). You may wish to enlist the help of another person, as cats are naturally suspicious
of anything new!
Press and hold the Green Button for about 10 seconds until the green light stays illuminated and then release the Green Button. A beep should
sound and the red light should stop fl ashing with only the green light left fl ashing. You now have 30 seconds to pass the cat underneath the porch.
There is no need to post the cat through the Petporte smart fl ap
® as this can lead to unnecessary stress for the animal. Microchips are normally
implanted between the shoulder blades of the animal; it is that part of the animal that needs to be under the porch area in order to program the
unique identifi cation number for that animal. Once the microchip has been successfully scanned, the Petporte smart fl ap
® will beep three times. The
green light will stop fl ashing, and the green lock will come up to its locked position.
If this procedure fails the fi rst time or if you exceed the programming time, simply repeat the process.You will need to program the unit with each of
your cats by using this method. Your Petporte smart fl ap
® can be programmed with up to 25 cats.
Only once you are completely satisfi ed that your Petporte smart fl ap ® works with all your cats’ microchips, prepare to install your
Petporte smart fl ap ® .
