Pig Tracker Receiver (Ptr) - SPY PIG TRACKING SYSTEMS Operating Instructions Manual

pig tracker receiver (ptr)

The Pig Tracker Receiver (PTR) consists of the electronics and wand
as a set. The PTR is a very sensitive analog receiver that is designed
to pick up the low-level electromagnetic pulses provided by the
transmitters. The system is designed to provide you visual and audible
indication of the transmitter signal.
Audible indication of the signal is provided by means of a beep that
pulses with each sensed signal from the transmitter. Visual indication
is provided by means of an analog sweep meter. The meter hand
pulses with each received pulse. It also sweeps in a wider arc as the
signal strength increases and lessens as the transmitter moves away
from the receiver.
Battery status indication is provided by means of a red indicator light
that will illuminate when the "OFF/ON" switch is in the "ON" position
if the batteries are in good condition. If it does not illuminate, replace
the batteries.
Adjustment is provided for "Gain" via a knob on the front panel. "Gain"
can be thought of as sensitivity adjustment.
The PTR also provides for a remote signal, which can be sent to a
separate device to allow for remote registering of transmitter pulses.
The sensitivity that is essential to pick up these low-level
electromagnetic signals, is also a weakness in that it subjects the unit
to potential false signal trips. The more gain you can set without false
triggering, the better.
