THE DEVICE IS NOW PROGRAMMED AND READY FOR USE

USING THE DEVICE AS A TRAP ALARM

The device is designed to be used as a trap alarm with different types of traps and cages. When the trap alarm is set, the pull wire of the trap alarm is attached to for example the trap door. When the trap door closes, it uses a pull wire to pull the magnet out from under the trap alarm. This triggers the alarm. You will receive the following alarm text message (ALARM!) to your mobile phone (master number)

The alarm can be acknowledged remotely with the following text message command: #107## or by going to the trap site and attaching the magnet again to the underside of the device.  Device with send back alarm cancellation text msg: (Alarm canceled!)

NOTE
You can save the phone number of SMS Trap Alarm in the memory of your mobile phone. Naming and saving the number is useful if you use more than one trap alarm devices. You can easily see immediately based on the name which trap is alarming at which location when “Alarm!” an alert text message arrives. You can “sensitize” the magnet pull force trigger based on your cage trap door closing force. For example by adding 1mm thick weatherproof tape between the magnet and the device, you can sensitize the pull force matching your cage door closing force. The magnet detachment sensitivity can be adjusted to suit the tensile strength of the own trap. Avoid sensitizing too much, for example storm wind can detach the magnet and cause a “false alarm”.
