CAMPERS/HUNTERS ALERTTM SYSTEM - KIT CONTENTS:

Campers/Hunters Alert® Portable Receiver, 9-Volt Battery
Two Campers/Hunters Alert® Infra Red Sensor Transmitter with Metal Mounting Brackets, Mounting
Screws, Bungee Cords, Eye-Bolts and a 9-Volt Batteries

INFRA RED SENSOR TRANSMITTER OPERATION AND INSTALLATION:

The infra red sensor is positioned behind the round IR filter lens. It has a horizontal detection angle of 40
degrees and a detection range of over 30 feet. See diagram below. The optimum target range is 10 to
15 feet from the Sensor Transmitter. The infra red sensor detects vehicles, intruders, etc., by sensing
their heat and motion. When a vehicle or large warm object moves through the detection zone, the Infra
Red Sensor Transmitter detects the intrusion and transmits a signal to the receiver. When the battery’s
voltage has dropped below the sensor’s required operating voltage, transmissions are sent to the
Receiver until the battery voltage becomes too low to transmit.

First, install a high quality 9-volt alkaline battery in the compartment located in back of the sensor case.
Securely close the battery cover. The Battery will last about six months under normal use. Mount the
sensor approximately 2 to 3 feet above the ground and about 10 feet from the expected target. Mount to
something stable like a tree or wooden post. Your Transmitters have several mounting options. A Metal
Mounting Bracket, Mounting Screws and Bungee cords are provided. Refer to the System Set-Up on
page 8 for placement. Perform the “Walk Test” (see page 5) prior to mounting permanently.

The Sensor Transmitter’s IR Lens and infra red sensor must have an unobstructed view of the detection
area that is free of plants, shrubs and branches. Take care not to touch the Lens or allow the Lens to get
damaged. Straighten and extend the flexible antenna straight upward. Some objects may not be
detected if the sensor is placed too high or too low. Adjusting may be required prior to calling for
technical support. Keep the sensor as close to the edge of the detection zone as possible. The
sensor should be strategically located so that it detects objects moving across its detection zone. Do not
mount the sensor facing the sun, bodies of water or any large reflective objects. This causes variations in
the temperature pattern "seen" by the sensor windows and may cause false alarms or damage the lens.

PLEASE NOTE: A shorter transmission range may occur when the outside temperature falls below 20
degrees F. due to a natural drop in battery voltage. Lower sensitivity may occur during periods of heavy
fog, rain or snow. This is due to the moisture diffusing the infra red energy. The Sensor Transmitters are
completely weatherproof and will operate to -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
