Your Smart Flap
Your Pet Porte®Smart Flap is a natural development of the original Pet Porte Micro-
chip cat flap and has been designed to allow your animals easy access to the
outside world whilst keeping other troublesome cats out of your house. Unlike
other cat flap products, Pet Porte cat flaps do not require your animals to wear
collars or accessories.
The Smart Flap uses the same patented technology as the original Pet Porte Micro-
chip Cat Flap to read the unique identification number stored on your cat’s micro-
chip that your vet has implanted in your animal. Whenever your cat passes under the
porch of the cat flap, the system scans the unique number and, if that number
matches the number already programmed in for that cat, it will unlock the cat flap
and allow that particular animal to enter. If the animal has not been programmed
into the system then the number scanned will not match and the cat flap will remain
locked preventing access to your property.
If you are not sure whether your cat has a microchip, then just ask your vet to scan
for it. The Pet Porte Smart Flap is designed to read the most common type of micro-
chip, the FDX-B; it will not read other types of microchip. If you are not sure what
type of microchip your cat has, then please either ask your vet or visit
www.petporte.com and navigate to our microchip compatibility checker to verify
that your microchip is compatible.
Other features of the Smart Flap are:
1) Battery backup facility: Powered by a low-voltage power supply, your Smart Flap
has space for a battery to be fitted, ensuring your cat does not get locked out in the
event of a power failure.
2) Night mode: Automatically prevents your cat going out during the hours of
darkness. If already out, it can still come back in.

Your Smart Flap
3) Audible beep: An audible beep gives auditory feedback to your cat and lets you
know when your cat comes home.
4) Vet mode: If you want your animal to stay in, even if it is out at the moment (for
example when you want to take your animal to the vet), then the cat flap will allow
your animal to enter but will prevent it from going out.
5) Weatherproofing: Includes a magnetic latch and draught excluder.
6) Fits traditional cat flap openings : The Smart Flap has been designed to replace
the more traditional cat flap and will fit into a hole either 17cm x 17cm or 21cm diam-
eter. (Please see the installation guide for further information.)
Your Cat’s Microchip
Extensive testing of the Pet Porte, with a large range of available microchip manu-
facturers, has proved that the technology behind the Pet Porte range of cat flaps
works perfectly with the majority of FDX-B microchips.
However, a very small percentage of cats have a microchip that has a reduced read
range and slow reaction time. This does not mean the microchip is faulty as your vet
can still scan for it with their own handheld scanners when in close proximity to the
microchip. On these rare occasions the Pet Porte Smart Flap can only be used as a
traditional cat flap without selective entry or exit.
If a new hole in a door or wall is to be cut for installation, we strongly advise testing
your Smart Flap with your cats first.
For further advice and to check your cat’s microchip compatibility visit
www.petporte.com or contact our customer services.

Pet Porte cat flaps have been designed with safety for you and your animals in mind.
However, please follow these guidelines to ensure your safety, especially during
installation.
1) Simply clean the cat flap with a damp (not wet) cloth, or antistatic wipe. Never
use household polish as this may damage the product.
2) Only use the power supply included with the product. Using an unauthorised
power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the cat flap.
3) Do not dismantle the cat flap. This could expose you to high voltages or other
risks.
4) During installation great care must be taken using drills or other cutting equip-
ment. If you are at all in doubt then please hire the services of a qualified profes-
sional to fit the cat flap for you.

PROGRAMMING NEW CATS INTO THE SMART FLAP
Because your Smart Flap is initially supplied unprogrammed, when it is first powered
both the green and red lights will flash to indicate that there are no animals
programmed in. The door locks will also open, allowing free access for any animal to
enter or exit. Prior to installing your Smart Flap to a door or wall we advise that you
test the Smart Flap’s operation by programming your cats, as shown below.
When programming the Smart Flap with an animal for the first time, ensure that
your pet is nearby as you have 30 seconds in which to introduce the animal to the
scanner. (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 flashing with only the green light left flashing. You now have 30
seconds to move the porch part of the Smart Flap over your cat. There is no need to
post the cat through the Smart Flap 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 identification number for that animal. Once the microchip has
been successfully scanned, the Smart Flap will beep three times. The green light will
stop flashing, and the green lock will come up to its locked position.
If this procedure fails the first time, simply repeat the process.
You will need to program the unit with each of your cats by using this method. Your
Pet Porte Smart Flap can be programmed with up to 31 animals
Normal Mode:
This is the default mode on powering the cat flap and will allow only your cat(s) to
enter.

For a variety of reasons many pet owners prefer their animals not to go outside at
night. The Pet Porte Smart Flap provides a mode whereby it will automatically
prevent your pet from going outside during hours of darkness and the cat flap will
automatically unlock when daylight dawns. If your pet is already outside when
darkness falls, the system will still allow the animal to enter.
To employ this mode, press the Red Button for 1 second and then release it. The unit
should beep and the red light will come on to inform you that it is in Night Mode.
When darkness falls, the green light will illuminate, indicating that the cat flap will
be locked. When daylight dawns again outside, the green light will extinguish,
indicating that the cat flap will be unlocked.
Please note: Night mode can take up to 30 seconds to start functioning.
Operating Modes (continued)
10 operating modes
Night Mode:
If you are intending to take your pet to the vet, or just want it to stay inside, then
the Pet Porte Smart Flap 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 flash, and then release it. The unit will then beep and the red light will start to
flash, indicating that the cat flap 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 flash, and then release it. The unit will beep again and the red light will
extinguish.
Vet Mode:
The Pet Porte Smart Flap has a number of extended modes that allow you to
customise the Smart Flap to suit your individual needs.

Extended Modes:

To enter the Extended Modes menu, press both the Red and Green Buttons for 2
seconds, or until both lights begin to flash, and then release them. The Smart Flap

For information on how to use the Extended Modes please see the Extended Modes
section on page 12 of this user guide.
If no buttons are pressed within a 20 second period, the Smart Flap will beep and
the green light will extinguish, indicating that the unit has gone back to its normal
mode of operation

Set Light Level - 4 Beeps:
In the unlikely event that you wish to have the Smart Flap open to allow any animal
entry, the Pet Porte Smart Flap provides a mode whereby any animal (be it micro-
chipped or not) can enter through the Smart Flap.
When Open Mode is activated the unit will emit a long beep and the green light
should flash to show the unit is in Open Mode.
To de-activate Open Mode, activate the Open Mode once more. The unit will again
emit a long beep and the green light should extinguish, indicating the Smart Flap has
returned to a normal mode of operation.
Open Mode - 2 Beeps

If you wish to alter when the Smart Flap locks or unlocks in Night mode, simply
activate the Set Light Level mode, in the morning or evening, when the outside light
is enough for your cat to be safely outside. The unit will emit a beep and enter its
previous mode of operation.
The next time the light reaches the set level the Smart Flap will either lock or unlock,
depending if it is morning or evening.
Note: The light level setting will remain in memory even if you lose power to your
Smart Flap.
Extended Modes (continued)
14 extended modes
Set Light Level - 4 Beeps (continued):
The default time for your Smart Flap’s locks to return to their locked positions after
your cat’s microchip has been recognised is 4 seconds. However, should you have a
particularly timid cat, or if your cat is being chased and closely followed by a hostile
animal, the lock return time can be lengthened or shortened by the following proce-
dure.
Activating Lockout Time from the extended mode menu will result in the red light
flashing. Press and hold the Green Button for the desired lockout time of between 1
and 25 seconds before releasing. During this period an audible beep will sound for
the duration of the button press, until the Green Button is released. On releasing the
Green Button the Smart Flap will return to its normal mode of operation.
Lockout Time - 5 Beeps
If, when the Smart Flap is running in battery mode, the battery charge runs low, the
Smart Flap has a built in option to allow the locks to be set at a specified open or
closed position.
cont. over page
Power-Down Lock State - 6 Beeps

This option, for example, will allow the green lock to be open or locked when the
battery is low, preventing or allowing any animal access inside the house through
the Smart Flap. Likewise, the red lock can be set to be open or locked when the
battery is low, preventing or allowing any animal access outside the house through
