Vibration/Magnet Sensor Quickstart Guide

Vibration/Magnet Sensor Quickstart Guide

Vibration/Magnet Sensor Quickstart Guide

The Trapmate Vibration/Magnet Sensor attaches to traps and stations and sends alerts to the Skyhawk CE and enterprise apps via the Trapmate Hub.

To detect vibrations, attach the sensor to the trap or station either directly or via an object attached to the trap or station.

The magnet sensor detects when a magnet is pulled away from the body of the sensor. You can use Trapmate adapters and connectors to attach the magnet to a moving part of a trap or cage or station.

The sensor settings can be adjusted for sensitivity to adjust for the location conditions in which the sensor is installed, e.g., a windy area or an area near forklift traffic. 

The guide below provides information on how to set up your adapter, adjust its settings, and understand its status from the LED indicator.

The Trapmate Vibration/Magnet Sensor can detect trap activity using a reed switch and/or an accelerometer

Step 1: Open case as outlined in the Battery Replacement section of this manual and remove batteries.

Step 2: Remove circuit card from case and locate configuration header as shown below in the dashed circle.

Step 3: Move jumpers to configure settings (if different from the factory default settings).

Step 4: Install batteries and close case as outlined in the Battery Replacement section of this manual.

Sensor Installation:

The Sensor can be installed using various methods including, but not limited to, the following two examples using the supplied mounting accessories:

Method 1 : Self-Stick Mounting Magnets

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the four self-stick mounting magnets.

Step 2: Clean the four circular recessed areas on the back of the Sensor with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the magnets.

Step 3: Peel off the adhesive backing paper on the magnets and affix them to the circular recessed areas cleaned in Step 2.

Step 4: The Sensor is ready to be mounted. Make sure the area where the Sensor will be attached is ferrous, iron or steel.

Method 2 : Tacky Puddy

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the tacky puddy strip.

Step 2: Tacky puddy can be attached to the bottom or sides of the Sensor. It is recommended that the tacky puddy pieces are not attached to the top of the unit since that would limit visibility to the LED indicator and function button.

Step 3: Attach to the object being monitored.

Tacky puddy can damage some surfaces.

Installation – Safety Guidelines:

Make sure when placing the Sensor on an object that it is securely attached and cannot fall off and injure someone or fall onto a hard surface and damage the unit.

Make sure that when placing the Sensor that it will not interfere with other equipment.

Sensor Pull-Magnet Installation:

The Sensor is supplied with a pull-magnet kit for users who choose to use the reed switch option.

Step 1: Locate the pull-magnet kit and take out the magnet mount while setting the other items off to the side.

Step 2: On the back edge of the cover there will be small notch that shows the reed switch centering location. Clean this area below the notch with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the mount.

Step 3: Peel the backing off the magnet mount and affix to rear of case as shown. The mount should be centered on the notch and just below the seam of the top and bottom of the case.

Step 4: Locate the magnet and filament line from the kit. Run the line through the magnet and back around and tie a double knot. Note: Tying a knot at the end is not suggested since it could pull though the magnet.

Step 5: Snap the magnet into the holder on the Sensor.

Step 6: Tie the other end of filament line to the object being monitored, such as a door or trap; making sure that when tripped, the line will pull easily from the magnet mount on the Sensor.

Sensor Start-Up Operation:

Before moving forward with the unit operation you must download the Skyhawk CE app onto your smart device and sign up for an account.

Step 1: Download and install the Skyhawk CE app from the Apple or Google Play store onto your compatible smart device. Go to sky-hawk.com for more detailed information on which devices are supported.

Step 2: Power ON the Sensor by pressing the function button; release when the GREEN LED starts blinking. The unit will continue to power ON by flashing the GREEN LED.

Step 3: After the unit is powered up, it will automatically send a power ON alert to the Skyhawk HUB that will in turn send an acknowledgement back to the Sensor. The acknowledgement on the Sensor will be indicated by a rapid flashing GREEN LED for 5 seconds. Additionally, the sensor status information is sent to the Skyhawk CE app via the cellular network. This initial trigger can take a minute or two and will verify connectivity between all the parts in the system. If the acknowledgement is a rapid flashing RED LED for 5 seconds, then the sensor could be out-of-range from the HUB. If out of range, power OFF the device then go back to Step 2.

Step 4: The unit now automatically goes into armed mode. Whenever the unit is moved beyond the set sensitivity or the reed switch is activated by a magnet pull from the holder, then it will be triggered. This triggered information is sent to the Skyhawk CE application via the Skyhawk HUB’s cellular connection. When the unit is triggered it will blink BLUE twice followed by the rapid flashing GREEN/RED for 5 seconds depending on if it was successful.

Step 5: Unit returns to sleep and has a 60 second back-off until the unit can be triggered again.

Sensor Shut-Down Operation:

When the Sensor is not going to be used for more than a few weeks, it should be powered down to conserve battery life.

Step 1: Power OFF the Sensor by pressing the function button; release when the RED LED starts blinking. The unit will continue to power OFF by flashing the RED LED five times.

Step 2: During the power down process (while the LED is blinking RED) the unit will send an alert to make sure that the registered owner of the device is notified the Skyhawk Sensor is going off-line.

Sensor Reset Operation:

The Sensor has the ability to be reset back to default settings.

Step 1: Press and HOLD the button, between 5 – 15 seconds the LED blinks red and green simultaneously. After 15 seconds of the button been held, the LED keeps blinking RED rapidly and the Step 2 will only take place if the button is released (after the rapid red blinks).

Step 2: The LED will begin to rapidly blink Red/Green/Blue (continuous rapid flash) continuous rapid flash RED, release button.

Sensor Battery Replacement:

The Sensor comes with two AA 1.5 volt alkaline batteries already installed. Depending upon use, it may take several years before the batteries need to be replaced. When they are replaced it is suggested to use a high qual- ity name brand AA alkaline battery like an Energizer or Duracell. Follow the instructions below to replace these batteries.

Step 1: Remove the cover screws of the Sensor using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure to turn the screws counterclockwise.

Step 2: Remove the front cover. There will be a gasket holding the unit together so it might take a bit of force to separate the cover from the enclosure.

Step 3: Remove the PC card with attached battery holder from the enclosure. This can easily be done by turning the unit over and allowing the battery holder to fall into your hand.

Step 4: Remove and dispose of the old batteries properly.

Step 5: Insert new batteries taking note of the direction symbols.

Step 6: Replace PC card with attached battery holder by aligning holes to the mounting pins in the enclosure. Replace cover making sure to align LED indicator on the cover to the LED on the PC Card (take note of image below for details). Replace cover screws. Turn screws clockwise so they are just starting to pull the case closed. Final tighten screws to 1.25Nm in order: 1, 4, 3 then 2 (X pattern) until completely seated.

Sensor LED Indicators:

The Sensor is equipped with a multicolor LED indicator for feedback status to the user.

Below is a chart of the status indicators:

While unit is ON and not being triggered a status LED will flash every 10 seconds:

Sensor Accelerometer Sensitivity Adjustment:

When the unit is ON, hold the function button for 3-6 seconds until the blinking RED LED changes to a RED & GREEN alternating pattern. Once in program mode, push the button (press quickly, as many times as neccessary). The GREEN LED will flash for each button click in program mode. Click the button 1-10 times and then let the unit sit for 10 seconds. The GREEN LED will then flash X number of times to indicate how many clicks were processed and set as the new sensitivity setting. The unit then will perform a connection back to the Skyhawk HUB that will report back the new setting to the Skyhawk CE application.

Accelerometer Sensitivity Note:

Sensors are shipped with a default maximum sensitivity of 7, unless otherwise noted. This will help ensure ac- tivation in multi-catch deployments or snap trap deployments inside cardboard boxes or rodent stations. High sensitivity can lead to false alerts from external environmental factors such as rain, hail or extraneous vibrations. If false alerts arise, the vibration sensitivity can be reduced using the procedure above. The sensor can also be used in reed switch(magnet pull)mode to detect physical displacement from snap trap closures. Using both sensors can be a useful deployment in live animal trap cage deployments. The cage door closing event can be positively moni- tored with the reed switch sensor through a magnet pull. Animal captures can be confirmed with a high sensitivity vibration setting to confirm the animal capture. Vibrations alerts that are not preceded by a door closure alert can be disregarded.
