Description
PetSafe Petporte Cat Smart Flap is an electronic, smart cat door that provides your pet with freedom and independence. The cat flap can be installed in doors, walls, or windows, allowing your pet to come and go at any time. You don't have to interrupt your activities to let your furry friend out and then watch for their return to let them back in. Additionally, this model features an access lock for uninvited animals. The flap allows entry only to those cats that have a microchip registered in the flap's memory. When a cat approaches the entrance, the built-in microchip reader scans the number from the microchip implanted in your pet's body, and if it successfully identifies the number, it releases the access lock. Other animals outside the house cannot move the flap or pass through the opening. You can register up to 25 cats. The flap is compatible with the most common type of microchips implanted by veterinarians, namely the 15-digit FDX-B microchip.
The Petporte Cat Smart Flap has a range of features that allow you to customize its operation to your individual needs:
- Night Mode: After dark, the system locks the cat's ability to go outside. When dawn arrives, the lock is released, and the pet can go out again.
- Set Light Level: Decide what light intensity should lock or unlock the flap.
- Timer Mode: You can set the time when the flap should be locked and unlocked.
- Vet Mode: If you don't want your cat to leave the house, for example, before a scheduled vet visit, this mode prevents your pet from going outside, and the flap lock remains active until you turn it off.
- Lock Return Time: By default, the flap remains unlocked for 4 seconds after detecting a registered microchip. If your cat needs more time to pass through the opening or is often chased by other animals, you can change the time before the flap locks again.
- Key Pad Lock: Prevents use of the control panel, securing the flap from settings changes, for example, by children.
- Silent Mode: Normally, a successful chip scan is indicated by a short sound. Silent Mode disables this sound.
- Open Mode: Allows all animals to pass through the flap, regardless of whether they have a chip or not.
To activate the flap, it must be connected to a power supply (cable with plug included) or powered by four 6LR21 9V batteries. A soft strip around the opening provides protection against cold/hot air from outside and also dampens the flap's operation noise. The PetSafe Petporte Smart Cat Flap can be installed in brick walls and wooden, metal, PVC, and UPVC doors, as well as in glass doors and windows (with single and double glazing). Installation is straightforward, and a special cutter and screws are included to assist you. The integrated tunnel, 6.5cm long, facilitates installation in thick walls and doors. You can gain an additional 4cm by purchasing the PetSafe Petporte Tunnel Extension. Both the frame and the flap are made of durable plastic, making the product long-lasting and weather-resistant.

Tip: Program your cat's microchip before installing the flap to ensure the reader detects the chip and to avoid having to hold your cat at the flap. After successfully reading the cat's identifier, you should hear the flap unlock.
To help your pet pass through the flap, install it in such a way that the animal does not have to climb to get through.
