PET MATE / ANIMATE
Electromagnetic Pet Door
Cat Mate – Dog Mate

1. Introduction

This Electromagnetic pet door is designed to selectively admit only pets wearing a collar
carrying a magnet. Normally the flap is prevented from opening into the house by an
electromagnetic catch, thus preventing stray pets from entering your house. However,
when your pet approaches wearing the magnet, a detector sited in the outer edge of the
body moulding senses the magnet and the electromagnetic catch is automatically
depressed. Your pet may then push open the flap with its nose to enter the house. As
soon as your pet has passed through the flap the electromagnetic catch returns to its
normal position, so that following pets without a magnet are prevented from entering.
Pets may exit from the flap without wearing a magnet.

2. Battery Installation:

Ease off the battery cover by pulling on the tabs positioned at each side. Alternatively,
insert a small screwdriver into the center slot located on the battery cover and lever away
from the body moulding. The recommended battery is a 9-volt alkaline. An alkaline
battery should give approximately 12 months normal life. Alternatively a rechargeable
battery may be used. Connect the battery to the loose connector and slide into position to
the left hand side of the electromagnetic catch assembly. (NB-slide battery in terminal
end first). Replace the battery cover firmly.

3. Collar Magnet:

The collar magnet should be attached directly to the cat's collar with the paw print
symbol facing forwards. Not doing so will affect the products performance.

It is recommended that you complete the identity sticker as even is your pet is unlikely to
get lost, it may decide to lose its collar!
