8. Fitting Instructions (See Figs. 6 to 10)
IMPORTANT:
• Do not cut tunnel (B, Fig. 1) of cat flap.
• To check that your cat's microchip is correctly positioned
and functioning, we strongly recommend you program
the cat flap for all your cats before installation (See
Section 3). Then check the cat's microchip operates the
catch (C, Fig. 1) when the cat's head is pushed gently
against the flap as shown in Fig. 2.
• For UPVC / metal doors thicker than 35mm (1
Cat Mate Cat Flap Adapter Kit (Ref. 361).
• For UPVC / metal doors it is essential to retune the cat
flap after fitting (see below).
UPVC / Metal Doors
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 correct operation it is important to ensure correct cut
out size is made.
For UPVC / metal panels thicker than 35mm (1

9. Troubleshooting
9.1 Cat's microchip will not program
• Your cat's microchip might be faulty or poorly positioned.
Contact Pet Mate Customer Services or use a Cat Mate
I.D. Disc.
9.2 Red LED (A) flashing
• 1 flash every 30 seconds indicates need to replace
alkaline batteries.
9.3 Flap does not open in response to programmed microchip
or I.D. Disc
• Check catch (C, Fig. 1) moves freely up and down when
cat's head is pushed gently against the flap as shown in
Fig. 2.
• Check 4 WAY lock is set to permit access in the chosen
direction.
• Check I.D. Disc, if used, is correctly fitted to cat's collar.
• If possible, try operation with another programmed
microchip / I.D. Disc to ascertain if there is a fault with a
particular microchip / I.D. Disc.
• For UPVC / metal panels over 35mm (1
cat flap has been fitted correctly with adapter kit and
circular cut out.
• For UPVC / metal panels check cat flap has been retuned
after fitting (See Section 8).
• Check batteries are correctly orientated and not in need
of replacement (See Section 6).
• Check cat flap is mounted at correct height (See
Section 8).
• If all above fails, remove one battery and wait a minimum
of 1 hour. Refit battery and then check if flap functions
correctly. If not perform a FACTORY RESET (See
Section 7) before reprogramming (See Section 3).
• It is possible that your cat has a 'low power' microchip
and the flap requires setting to low power. The cat flap is
supplied to suit the vast majority of standard microchips.
To change from standard microchip setting to low power
setting please contact:
