MOTOBLINKERS MBK1 Remote Controlled Horse Bridle
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOTE-CONTROLLED HORSE BRIDLE QUICK START
The remote-controlled horse bridle quick start is as follows:
- Unpack all the delivered items
- Grab the bridle at its top
- Press the button on the remote control 2 times in a row a few seconds apart
- If nothing happens (likely), wake up the blinders by quickly changing their position once (otherwise they go back to sleep)
- Press again the button on the remote control 2 times in a row a few seconds apart
- Blinders must change their position at least once
REMOTE-CONTROLLED HORSE BRIDLE OPERATION
The remote-controlled horse bridle operation is very simple. Each press of the button on the remote control, the blinders simultaneously change their position from hiding to non-hiding or vice versa.
For correct operation, it is necessary
- That the batteries are not discharged (see associated chapter)
- That the blinders are waked up (see associated chapter)
- That the button presses are separated by a few seconds
- That the remote control is not to far or hidden (wall, etc.) from the blinders
SLEEP AND WAKED UP MODE OF THE BATTERY-POWERED ITEMS
- Putting the items in sleep mode dramatically increases the life of the batteries.
- The remote control automatically enters sleep mode when its button is released.
- Each blinder automatically enters sleep mode after 60 minutes of non-use or manually by forcing a quick rotation to one side or the other.
- The wake up of the remote control is triggered each time the button is pressed.
- The wake up of the blinder is achieved by manually forcing a quick rotation to one side or the other (idem to enter sleep mode). It is advisable to check that the blinders are effectively in sleep mode by pressing the remote control push button.
BATTERIES CHECK WITHOUT ENCLOSURES OPENING
- Download and install the «MICROCHIP MBD» app on your smartphone (for ANDROID™ and iOS®).
- Run the « MICROCHIP MBD» app.
- Select « BLE SMART » and exit the « LOCALISATION » display.
- A possibly empty device list appears.
- Press the remote control button or enter a blinder in sleep mode, at least one new device must appear in the list, click on it. The display should look like this:
The last number (above circled in red) indicates the battery level in a 0 to
67 range.
A value lower than 50 no longer guarantees the proper functioning of the
concerned device and its battery must be replaced. The battery life of the
remote control is several years while that of the blinders is a few months (in
normal use).
A batteries check dedicated MOTOBLINKERS app should be soon available.
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The remote control battery must be replaced with a 3V CR1632 Lithium battery.
Its replacement is as follows :
- Unscrew the 4 screws from the enclosure lid
- Using a point (toothpick for example) slipped into the hole of one of the extracted screw, carefully remove the lid with its gasket (be careful not to take off the gasket)
- Remove and flip the PCB so that the used battery is visible in its holder
- Using a non-conductive rod (toothpick for example), extract the used battery from its holder
- Insert the new battery (“+” facing upwards)
- Return the circuit to its original location
- Close the remote control enclosure by carefully replacing the lid with its gasket
- Replace the 4 screws
- Carry out a functional test with the two (original) blinders not in sleep mode
- The used battery must be handed over to the appropriate collection point (see associated chapter).
BLINDER BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The blinder battery must be replaced with a 9V 6LR61 alkaline battery. Its replacement is as follows :
- unscrew the 4 screws from the blinder cover
- Remove the blinder cover
- Carefully unplug the used battery
- Carefully plug the new battery
- Replace the blinder cover
- Replace the 4 cover fixing screws
- Carry out a functional test of the bridle with the original remote control (otherwise it will no longer work with it)
- The used battery must be handed over to the appropriate collection point (see associated chapter).
- It is recommended to replace both bridle batteries at the same time.
RESPONSIBILITY
In all cases of use of the remote-controlled bridle (including horse racing),
it is up to the user to assess the stakes and the level of caution required.
Thus, if the stakes and caution so require, he will have to put in new
batteries as a preventive measure and carry out a complete preventive
functional check. Under no circumstances can MOTOBLINKERS SAS be held
responsible for a supposed or proven malfunction of its MBK1 system.
