Setup And Free Air Test For The Ptr - SPY PIG TRACKING SYSTEMS Operating Instructions Manual

Se tup and Free Air Test
for the ptr
STEP 1. If desired, attach the supplied strap to the two "D" rings on each side of
the receiver to allow the receiver to be hung over the shoulder for ease of carrying.
STEP 2. Plug the Wand into the lower right side female audio receptacle on the
front of the PTR. To later release the wand, press the tab with the word "PUSH"
down until the connector is released.
STEP 3. Place the wand parallel to the transmitter.
STEP 4. To test for proper operation of the transmitter and receiver, begin by
placing the transmitter on the ground approximately 10 – 15 ft (3.05 m – 4.6 m)
from the wand. With the receiver switched on, turn the wand until it parallels the
transmitter and be sure that it is horizontal. Increase the receiver gain until you
hear the transmitter signal beep while verifying that you see the visual indicator
moving with the pulses. Begin moving away from the transmitter laterally while
keeping the wand steady, horizontal and parallel to the transmitter. The analog
meter movement will begin to decrease with distance. Begin to increase the gain
slowly as you walk away, ensuring that you continue to receive signal from the
transmitter. Continue walking away as you turn the gain slowly up to maximum
(10). Continue walking away until you loose the signal. This point represents the
maximum free air transmit distance for this transmitter.
NOTE: As you turn the gain above 5, you will begin to notice more false
signaling created by movement of the wand. You should also note that due
to the nature of the type of signal the receiver senses, items such as, keys,
pocket knives, tools, large metal belt buckles, or other metallic items can cause
disturbances in the earth's electromagnetic field, and create false signals.
Other possible sources of false signals are electronic wristwatches, electronic
vehicle ignition systems, and two way portable radios.
