Normal Operation; Way Manual Lock - SureFlap MICROCHIP CAT FLAP User Manual

7. Normal Operation

Normal operation couldn't be simpler. Once programmed, SureFlap
allow entry for your cat(s), denying access to intruder animals.
To enter the house, the cat puts their head in the tunnel to push the flap open.
A sensor detects the cat's presence and then quickly reads the microchip,
opening the latch if required. Note that SureFlap
cat is just wandering in front of the flap, inside or outside the house.
TM
SureFlap 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 8.
TM
After the SureFlap has opened, it will stay unlocked until after your cat has
passed through the tunnel. The latch will close a couple of seconds later. Note
that the latch 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.
TM
If testing SureFlap before installation then your cat will need to
push their head against the flap from the tunnel side of the unit.
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 have an effect.
