Measurement and marking
Measure the belly height of your cat. This is usually 100 -150mm (4-6”) (Fig. 1).
Mark this measurement on the outside of your door and draw a straight
horizontal line 168mm (61/2”) (Fig. 2).
Please bear in mind that this line will eventually be the bottom of the hole
you will cut in your door and that the frame of the cat flap will be slightly
lower. If necessary, this line may have to be raised slightly to account for this.

Fitting your cat flap
Your Staywell cat flap is fitted with the red 4 way lock on the inside of your house.
Temporarily place the cat flap in the hole and position the outside cover on
the outside of the house. From the outside mark screw holes through the
holes in the outside cover. (Fig 5.).
Remove the cat flap and drill the holes with a 4.5mm (3/16”) drill bit (Fig. 6).
FIG.5 FIG.6
Replace the cat flap in the hole and from the outside screw into place. (Fig. 7).
If the screws are too long they may need to be cut down to match the
depth of your door. Using over long screws may damage the cat flap. The
screws should be removed from the cat flap before cutting. File down to
ensure there are no sharp edges.
Push fit the 4 way locking turning dial into place (Fig. 7).
Finally, cover the screw holes with the blanking plugs on the outside frame
to ensure a neat finish (Fig. 7).
FIG.7
If fitting into glass, the cat flap is ‘clamped’ to the glass
using two screws from the outside of the house.

Tunnels (optional)
The cat flap is designed to fit any depth of hole. It is recommended that
the tunnels be glued on to the frame and each other. (Fig. 8).
One tunnel is supplied with the cat flap which is 47mm (17/8”). To
purchase additional tunnels at the same depth and to make up the
depth of the hole in your wall, visit the Staywell website -
www.staywell.co.uk
Using the 4 way lock
The 4 way lock allows you to control your cat’s access in and out of
your home.
It is a good idea not to use the 4 way lock until your pet is thoroughly
familiar with using the door. Your pet may become confused as to why
you have installed it.
Your Staywell cat flap is now ready to use.

Powering the Infra-red cat flap
Remove the battery cover by pushing firmly in the direction of the arrows.
(Fig. 9).
Place 4 x AA 1.5V Alkaline Long Life batteries in position. (Fig. 10).
Batteries should be replaced every 3-6 months. Do not use
rechargeable batteries.
After you have powered the cat flap it emits a low tone bleep indicating the
cat flap is ready for programming. In addition to the bleep the red LED will flash.
(Fig. 10).
FIG.9 FIG.10
Powering the Infra-red key
Open the collar key by twisting a coin between the two flanges (Fig. 11).
Remove battery holder (Fig. 12).
Place 2 x SR44, LR44 or D357 coin cell batteries into the battery holder.
The collar key LED will flash 3 times indicating that the key is active (Fig. 13).
Replace battery holder into the clear base. Replace coloured cap by
clipping the two halves of the key together, ensuring that the green PCB
board is visible through the clear base. (Fig. 14).
The key will continue to flash at 2 minute intervals (Fig. 15).
FIG. 11 FIG. 12 FIG. 13 FIG. 14 FIG. 15
Batteries should be replaced every 3-6 months or when the
LED stops flashing.

Attaching the Infra-red collar key
The key must be attached to the collar so that it hangs forwards (Fig. 17).
FIG. 17
Manual operation
Please note, this feature CANNOT be used until the cat flap has
been fully powered and programmed. If you do not wish to use the
electronic latch the cat flap can be placed in manual mode.
Remove the battery cover by pushing in the direction of the arrows.
Press the manual button once (Fig. 18). and the latch will unlock and the
LED flashes. The cat flap is now in manual mode.
To place the cat flap back in
automatic mode press the
manual button. The latch will
relock and the LED flashes.
The cat flap is now back
in automatic mode.
Programming the Infra-red cat flap
After powering the cat flap and the collar key, approach the cat flap with the
collar key. The red LED will stop flashing and the unit will emit a high pitched
bleep.
Your cat flap is now programmed to recognise the collar key and the latch
mechanism will be activated everytime you approach the cat flap with the
collar key. (Fig. 16). The latch will not relock until the collar key is out of
range of the cat flap.
If you have more than one cat, you will need to purchase collar keys of the
same colour code.
The colour codes available are: Green, Yellow, Blue and Pink. Extra
keys can be purchased from the Staywell website -
www.staywell.co.uk
If your cat loses a collar key, you
must purchase a replacement of the
same colour. If you purchase a
different colour, you must reprogramme
the cat flap with that new colour.
To reprogramme the cat flap,
disconnect the batteries for
approximately three minutes and
follow the steps outlined on the
previous page and as above.

Setting the re-latch time
Please note, this feature CANNOT be used until the cat flap has
been fully powered and programmed.
The re-latch time is the length of time that it takes for the latch to lock after
it has been activated and the key has been removed from range. The latch
on your cat flap has been factory set to re-latch after 2 seconds. The time
can be set between 2 and 20 seconds. The period that you set the re-latch
time will depend on your own cat and your personal preference.
Remove the battery cover by pushing in the direction of the arrows.
Press the manual button once. (Fig. 19). The LED will flash and the latch will
open. The cat flap is effectively in manual mode. Press the timer button
within 2 seconds (Fig. 20). Each press of the timer button will increase the
re-latch time by one second. Each time the button is pressed the cat flap
will emit a high pitched bleep. Once the time out reaches 20 seconds the
timer reverts to 2 seconds, emits a low tone bleep and the cycle starts again.
Once the desired amount of seconds has been selected, wait 2 seconds
for the cat flap to return to manual mode (there is nothing to indicate this
as the latch will remain open). Press the manual button again to return to
automatic mode (Fig. 19). The LED will flash and the latch will re-lock. The
selected re-latch time is in use.
To extend or reduce the selected re-latch time, simply repeat the steps
above. For example: If a re-latch time of 5 seconds has been selected,
the first high pitched bleep changes the setting to 6 seconds, the second
high pitched bleep to 7 seconds and so on.

Low battery power
Cat flap
When the batteries are starting to run low the cat flap will warn you by
emitting a bleep every 2 minutes. The LED will flash continually.
Remove the battery cover by pushing in the direction of the arrows.
Remove the old batteries
and insert 4 x new AA 1.5V
Alkaline Long Life batteries.
(Fig. 21). Replace battery
cover. Your cat flap will
need reprogramming.
Follow instructions for
“Programming the Infra-red
cat flap”.
Collar key
As the power in the collar key batteries runs low you will notice a loss
of range as your cat approaches the door. Eventually the battery power
will become so low that the cat door will not open and the LED will stop
flashing. To restore power, replace the two batteries in the collar key and
refer to “Powering the Infra-red key”.
FIG. 21
Mains power adaptor (optional)
A mains power transformer kit can be purchased from the Staywell
website - www.staywell.co.uk. Instructions are provided explaining how
to install. Once installed, place the jack plug into the socket at the side
of the cat flap (Fig. 22). Plug adaptor into a household electric socket
(Fig. 23).
FIG. 22 FIG. 23
Batteries can be left installed as a back-up power supply. If you are
powering the cat flap with the mains power adaptor, and there have been
no batteries installed, you will need to program your cat fl
ap. Follow
instructions for “Programming the Infra-red cat flap”.
