Cat Mate "Elite" 305 Super Selective Electronic Cat Doors

Description

The Cat Mate Elite Super Selective Cat Doors
These are a great advance over the electronic pet doors already manufactured by this company.
The collar keys are
RFID
chips--the latest thing in collar key technology.These cat doors come with two such collar keys. The company refers to these as "electronic ID disc". They are waterproof.
The Super Elite can accommodate a total of 8 keys. Extra keys may be purchased.
These doors, of course, are designed to let your cats in and keep other critters out. This is accomplished by using a lock that inserts up the middle of the flap. Thus the flap can't be pushed in or pulled out. The company claims that this feature makes it raccoon proof--a very important consideration for some people.
This cat door also includes a
4-way locking
device.
They are "self-framing" out to 2". The
Cat Mate 308 wall liner
units may be added to allow installation in walls to any thickness. Each unit adds 2" to the tunnel length and the cat door itself provides the last 2" adjustment to ensure a tight fit.
Will support 8 collar keys while the regular selective handles 7.
Can track each of the RFID tags separately allowing individual access control. Each cat can have his own access times if desired.
Can show the location (inside or outside) of up to 3 cats and, finally;
Includes a timer control.
Cat Mate informs us that there are special installation instructions for metal doors included with the product. If these instructions are followed carefully, then the Elite Super Selective will work in a metal door.

Speaking of metal
There must be no metal of any kind on the collar other than the rings on the rfid tag. No other magnets or metal dog tags for example.
Likewise
, Cat Mate informs us that, so long as the door is at least 2-3 feet away from a transmitter, a "hidden fencing" system will not interfere with the Super Selective Cat Flaps.
