Ferplast Swing Cat Flap With Microchip Opening System[Color - Brown, Dimension - 22.5 x 16.2 x 25.2cm]

The Swing Microchip cat flap features a unique antenna that identifies and decodes your pet's subcutaneous ISO11784 microchip, unlocking the flap as your pet approaches. With its impressive selective recognition system, it ensures that only your pet can pass through, preventing the entry of other cats. Programming this cat flap is a breeze, as it can store up to 32 ISO11784 standard microchips. It has been meticulously designed and tested for utmost reliability and versatility in usage. Saving the microchip code is quick and straightforward: simply bring your pet close and press the designated red button to store the code. Constructed from durable plastic, the Swing Microchip can be installed in various materials, including wood, glass, or masonry walls. Please note: if you plan to install it in glass, it’s recommended to consult a glass specialist beforehand, as drilling holes in tempered safety glass or double glazing is not possible unless done during manufacturing. For installations on metal doors, a wooden spacer of at least 5 cm should be placed between the door and the metal surface to avoid interference with the recognition system. This latest model shares the Wind Stopper system with the Swing doors, which protects against drafts, and features a unique 4-way regulator closure. This allows you to control your cat's access, giving them the freedom to enter and exit, exit only, or completely lock the door. If needed, you can also deactivate the cat recognition feature and operate the door in a conventional manner. It runs on batteries (using 6 AA batteries) and comes with a low battery indicator. Rest assured, if the batteries run out, the microchip data is retained in memory, so you won’t need to re-register your pet. Additionally, this flap includes a handy last step indicator: a small plastic flag that lets you quickly see where your furry friend is, whether indoors or outdoors. If your cat isn’t already microchipped, you’ll find a practical microchip collar included as a complimentary gift in the package. For maintenance, simply clean the plastic door and the infrared sensors located inside the tunnel, to the left and right of the door, using a soft, dry cloth from time to time.
