Normal Operation - Sure Flap Microchip Cat Flap Gebrauchsanweisung

8. Normal Operation

Normal operation couldn't be simpler. Once programmed, the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap will
only allow entry for your cat(s), denying access to intruder animals.
To enter the house, the cat puts its head in the tunnel to push the flap open. A sensor detects the
cat's presence and quickly reads the microchip or collar tag, opening the catch if required. Note
that the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap does not activate if your cat is just wandering in front of the
flap, inside or outside the house.
The SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap is designed for one-way operation only. Any animal inside the
house is allowed to leave, but only your animals are allowed to enter. This is a useful fail-safe
to allow exit under rare circumstances - if your cat is followed inside before the flap has time to
close, you don't want the intruder trapped inside! If you need to control exit from the house then
use the 4-way manual lock described in section 9.
After the cat flap has opened, it will stay unlocked until after your cat has passed through the
tunnel. The catch will close around one second later. Note that the catch will also open when your
cat leaves the house, although this is not absolutely necessary.
One further feature of the flap is a magnetic catch that keeps the door closed when not in use.
When testing the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap before installation, your cat will need
to push its head against the flap from the tunnel side of the unit or pass all the way
through the flap. There is a sensor that detects the cat's presence in the tunnel that
needs to be triggered and no amount of waving your cat in front of the flap will
an effect.
