2. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of SureFlap
®
. This cat flap has been designed to
recognise the ID chip already implanted in your cat, allowing access to your pet and
keeping out marauding intruders. Your home becomes a secure environment for your pet,
leading to a happier, more relaxed animal.
Operation of SureFlap
®
couldn‟t be simpler. Once the unit is installed and the batteries put
in place, the flap can be put into learn mode. The next time your cat passes through the
flap, the unique ID code of its chip is put into memory. Now SureFlap
®
unlocks whenever
your cat wants to come into the house.
Multiple cats are no problem. Up to 32 cats can be programmed into the flap at the same
time – more than enough for most people‟s needs!
SureFlap
®
has all the features you would expect from a high quality cat flap, including:
- Robust and elegant design
- Learn mode for programming multiple cats
- 4-way manual lock
- Low battery indicator
- Typical battery lifetime at least 6 months

We wish you years of trouble-free operation with SureFlap
®
and hope you enjoy the
benefits it brings to your home and pet.
3. Microchip Type
SureFlap
®
is compatible with all the following types of microchip commonly used for pets.
- 15-digit microchips (also known as FDXB)
- 10-digit microchips (also known as FDXA)
- 9-digit microchips (also known as Avid Secure/Encrypted Chip)
Extensive tests have shown that SureFlap
®
works perfectly with the vast majority of
microchips. However a very small percentage of cats have a microchip without the required
range for SureFlap
®
– this does not mean there is a problem with the microchip as your vet
can still pick it up with their handheld scanner close to the microchip. In these rare cases
SureFlap
®
can only be used as a normal cat flap without selective entry.
If permanent changes to a door or wall are required for installation we strongly advise
testing SureFlap
®
with your cat(s) first. In order to test that SureFlap
®
works with your cat
please carry out both the learn mode (see section 6) and then test normal operation (see
section 7).
