1 ) System Features
1.1 ) Heat Alert
The heat alert system monitors temperature, vehicle power, and motion inside the kennel
(optional) to determine if the K9 is in danger of overheating.
Alert Delay:
The alert delay postpones the heat alert function after system start-up or an
alert reset. The duration of the delay is adjustable in the Heat Alert menu.
Voltage Monitor:
The voltage that is fed to the system is monitored for low voltage
conditions. If the voltage drops below about 8 volts, a Vehicle Power Alert will be
triggered.
AUX Input:
The system is equipped with an auxiliary input. An Aux Input Alert is
triggered when this input is activated.
AUX Output:
The auxiliary output can be connected some other alarm device such as a
strobe, siren, GSM dialer, etc. When an alert is triggered, this output will become active.
The type of active signal can be programmed to fit the application.
AUX Power:
The auxiliary power output can supply vehicle power to a peripheral device.
This output is only active when the F-Series system is powered on.
Temp Sensors:
The system utilizes two digital temperature sensors for high accuracy as
well as decreased false alarms. Both the of temp sensors must be at or over the Alert
Temp set in the Heat Alert menu to trigger an alert.
Window Drop:
The windows that are selected in the Heat Alert menu will roll down one at
a time when a heat alert is triggered. The menu option can be set to roll down just the left,
just the right, or both windows.
Fan Control:
The optional fan is controlled both manually and automatically. The manual
fan control is through the right button of the HUD and can be set to three different speeds
or turned off. When a heat alert is triggered, the system will automatically turn the fan on
at full speed.
Horn and Lights Alarm:
There are dedicated outputs for the vehicle's lights and horn.
These outputs begin to function after a programmable delay which begins when a heat
alert is activated.
Motion Sensor:
The motion sensor is an optional feature that will detect motion inside the
kennel for a specified amount of time after the system has been turned off. For example, if
the Heat Alert system is powered down, but the K9 is accidentally left in the vehicle, the
system will detect the motion of the K9 and enter an alert state.
