Important Notice Please read all these instructions BEFORE fitting the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door. Importantly, please check whether there is metal in the substrate the door is to be fitted into. Please follow the metal mount instructions in section 7.4 if this is the case. Under no circumstances should you cut or drill through the tunnel of the main assembly of the unit as this contains the microchip reader and will prevent the unit from working properly.

3. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door. This pet door has been designed to recognise either the microchip already implanted in your pet or the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag (one included – packs of two sold separately), allowing access to your pet whilst keeping out intruder animals. Your home becomes a secure environment for your pet, leading to a happier, more relaxed animal. Operation of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door couldn’t be simpler.
4. Microchip Type The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door is compatible with all microchips commonly used for pets. Specifically this includes: • 15-digit microchips (also known as FDXB) • 10-digit microchips (also known as FDXA and Trovan® Unique) • 9-digit microchips (also known as Avid® Secure/Encrypted) In addition to this the pet door is also compatible with the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag (one included - packs of two sold separately).
6. Learn Mode To start operation, the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door needs to learn the unique ID code of your pet’s microchip. This process is only required once for each pet, as the code is permanently stored, even if the batteries are removed. Follow the simple step-by-step guide below to carry out this process: 1. Remove the button cover. Press the learn button ( See Figure 1. ) for around 1 second and release. 2. The locks will open, allowing a pet to pass through in either direction.
7. Installation DIY installation may involve the use of power tools or cut glass. Safety equipment (gloves, eye protection, etc.) should be used and if in doubt consult a professional to carry out the installation. Suitable door types Instructions are provided for installation in all door types, including wooden, plastic, glass, and metal.
7.2 Installation in wooden doors, plastic doors, or plasterboard walls 1. Place the external frame face down as in Figure 2. Attach a ball of Blu Tack (or similar adhesive putty) in each of the four corners. These should allow you to stick the frame to most doors. 2. Choose the position on the door at which you want to mount the pet door and stick the frame to the door. To ensure that it is level we recommend you use a spirit level as shown in Figure 3. 3.

7.3 Installation in glass doors or windows When working with cut glass always wear protective gloves as the edges may be sharp. The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door is ideal for mounting in single or double-glazed windows. If you need to have a hole cut in a window, please ask a qualified glazier to do it, as cutting glass is a skilled job. If you need to get a hole cut in your window a circular hole with a diameter of 300mm (11.8”) is the ideal size.

7.4 Installation in metal doors The presence of a metal plate in a door can influence the performance of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, reducing the range of the microchip reader. This includes the following: • Metal skin doors • Security doors • Metal garage doors • UPVC coated metal doors For most situations you will not notice anything, as the read range will still be sufficient for the majority of microchips and collar tags.
7.5 Installation in walls Before you install the Microchip Pet Door in the wall of your home please consult a qualified builder about the best location. Remember that there may be electrical wires, gas or water pipes hidden within the wall which if damaged during the installation can cause serious problems. For installation of the Microchip Pet Door in a wall we recommend that you use SureFlap Pet Door Tunnel Extenders (Product Code: TUN101).
12. From the inside of the house put the tunnel extenders and Pet Door into the hole through the wall until the Pet Door is flush against the wall. At this point you can tell whether the holes are large enough or need adjusting. If no adjustment is necessary you are at the point where you can make the holes for screwing the Pet Door to the wall. 13. The screw holes for mounting the Pet Door to the wall are underneath the front panel.

7.6 Fixing the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door from the inside of the home For most installations screwing the unit from the inside is not necessary. For those particularly concerned about security there is the option to go to the additional effort of fixing the unit to the door from the inside during the installation process by following the steps below. For door installations 1. Install the pet door as per the instructions in section 7.2. 2.
8. Batteries and Low Battery Indicator The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door requires four C type batteries. With normal usage, one set of batteries will typically last for at least 6 months 2. There are battery compartments on each side of the pet door, each hold two batteries. The batteries should be inserted with the positive terminal at the top. To insert the batteries place the first battery in and push it to the top of the compartment.
9. Operation Normal operation couldn’t be simpler. Once programmed, the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door will only allow entry for your pet(s), denying access to intruder animals. To enter the house, the pet puts its head in the tunnel to push the flap open. A sensor detects the pet’s presence and quickly reads the microchip or collar tag, opening the locks if required. Note that the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door does not activate if your pet is just wandering in front of the flap, inside or outside the house.
11. Curfew Mode Curfew mode allows you to set a lock and unlock time for the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door, giving your pet access to the outdoors during a set period of the day (for example unlocking in the morning and locking at night). In order to set the times follow the steps below. At the selected lock time the pet door will be set to“in only”, meaning the cat is still able to enter the house after the lock time but can not leave again. 1.
12. Memory Wipe It is very unlikely that you will need to wipe a pet’s ID code from the pet door’s memory. Up to 32 different codes can be stored in memory, and if more additional codes are learnt these simply replace the earliest ones stored. However, in the unlikely circumstance that you need to wipe the memory (e.g. you accidentally programme for a neighbour’s pet!), follow the process below. 1. Press and hold the memory button ( ) for at least 10 seconds. 2.
Custom Mode 1 Select to use as a non-selective pet door, as described in section 13. This will deactivate the microchip reader of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door. This will allow any animal to enter the home whilst retaining other features (e.g. curfew mode, and other locking modes). The reader icon ( ) is not displayed when used as a non-selective pet door. Custom Mode 2 Select if using re-chargeable batteries.
15. Maintenance The sensor that detects the presence of a pet in the tunnel is optical and is situated on the inside roof of the tunnel, close to the flap. If these lenses become obscured by dirt, unreliable operation and/or shortened battery lifetime may result. Wipe these lenses with a damp cloth every couple of months. Operation of the sensor relies on a reflection from the base of the tunnel, which should also be kept reasonably clean.
16. Troubleshooting Symptom: The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door does not learn your pet’s microchip number or collar tag correctly or fails to open for your pet • Check batteries are fitted the right way round and are not run down. Ensure batteries are good quality alkaline batteries. • Check if the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door is mounted in a metal door. If this is the case, follow the instructions in section 7.4 for improved mounting.
• First follow the instructions in section 14 and put the pet door in custom mode 1 (use as a non-selective pet door). This will allow it to start using the pet door without any noise from the locks. • Once your pet is used to the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door being there insert the batteries. If it is still unwilling to use it, prop the flap open with the door facing inside the house. A simple method is to use tape between the bottom of the flap and the top of the main assembly.
