Operation:
The unit has 2 pushbuttons. When viewed from the front with the shock terminals
pointing downward, the MODE switch is on the right and the SHOCK
Pet Sensor System User Manual (V2)
level is on the left.
Turn the unit on by pressing and holding the MODE button for 2-3 seconds. The
middle horizontal segment of the display will blink once every 2 seconds when the unit
is powered on.
To turn the unit off, press and hold the MODE button for 2-3 seconds. The display will
stop blinking.
To enable and select different shock levels, first press the MODE button. The display
will show a number between 0 and 9. The number 0 indicates that the shock feature is
disabled. A number between 1 and 9 indicates that the shock feature is enabled with 1
being the lowest shock voltage (80 volts) and 9 being the highest shock voltage (160
volts).
To change the level press the SHOCK pushbutton (left pushbutton) to increment the
shock level. To disable the shock feature, repeatedly press the SHOCK pushbutton until
the number 0 is displayed.
Once the desired shock number is selected, pressing the MODE pushbutton will return
the LED display to the flashing of the middle segment, or the display will automatically
return the the flashing display after 5 seconds if no pushbuttons are pressed.
Alarm State:
When the unit is flashing the middle segment of the LED display, the unit is actively
listening the beacon tags. If an area protection tag is received, the unit enters the
alarm state. The unit emits an audible beeping tone and the vibrator vibrates for 3
seconds. If the shock level is enabled, any settings other than 0, the shock voltage is
generated during the 4th second. This 4 second pattern repeats for 3 times at which
time the shock stops, but the tone and vibration continue as long as the pet remains in
the area. The shocking will only begin again if the pet leaves the area for a minimum
of 60 seconds.
Test Mode:
While the unit is on, pressing both pushbuttons simultaneously will generate a
sequence of test shocks at the currently selected shock level for 10 seconds. If the
shock is disabled, meaning the the shock level is 0, no shock will be generated. The
tone buzzer and vibrator also are active during test mode.
Other Notes:
The range (size of detection area) is fixed at approximately 3 to 6 feet. Objects near the
tag can influence the shape and size of the protection area. Metal objects can block the
tag signal if placed in front of the tag.
If the pet runs too fast through the protected area, it may not detect the pet's beacon.
The beacons only send data on the order of 3 times per second.
The battery will last more than 8 hours under normal use before requiring charging.
Provisions have been put into the system so that the detection range can be increased
or decreased by adjusting the beacon's transmit power settings. This is done by using
the FeasyBeacon app on a smart phone. It is not user friendly, but allows for
experimentation of the system. It would be possible to make our own app to allow
easy modifications to the detection area.
Battery Charging:
Any common 5 volt phone charger will charge the unit. A USB-C cable is required.
When the unit's battery is low, the letter 'L' will flash on the display instead the of the
middle segment.
To charge the unit, plug the AC adapter into the unit. The display will show the letter
'C' to indicate that it is charging the battery.
Once the unit is fully charged, the display will show the letter 'F' to indicate that the
battery is fully charged.
Any time that the unit is unplugged from the AC adapter, the unit will enter the ON
state and the display will blink the middle segment.
It is possible to turn off the unit while it is charging so that nothing is displayed. It will
continue to charge while in this state. If the unit is off and then plugged into a
charger, nothing will be displayed even though it is charging.
Battery charging time from a completely discharged battery is less than 4 hours.
Beacons:
To turn the beacon ON, press and hold the switch for 3 seconds. The LED will blink 3
times.
To turn the beacon OFF, press and hold the switch for 3 seconds. The LED will blink
once.
If no LED is illuminated from pressing the pushbutton switch, the battery may be dead.
The beacons use a standard CR2032 battery and can be changed by unsnapping the
two halves of their plastic case using a small flat blade screwdriver. The battery life is
estimated to be greater than 6 months.
