Roboguard 3
Roboguard Installation
This instruction assumes the use of the Roboguard HQ as the receiver.
For other receivers, please consult the relevant section
Determine the desired location of your Roboguards
Install 1 Roboguard at a time.
Remove the battery cover and plastic battery saver tag (the on-
board buzzer will begin beeping in ‘Walk-Test Mode” but will reset to
silent after 20 minutes or so.)
Allow 5 minutes to settle.
Mount your Roboguard directly through the mounting guides, or by
first installing a mounting bracket.
Ensure that the Roboguard is straight (unless you purposefully want
it at an angle), a spirit level will help.
Allocate your Roboguard a zone on the HQ. (Press and hold the
Tamper button on the HQ, after the beep select the required zone,
press and release the tamper switch on the Roboguard, press any
zone button to reset HQ – or see HQ Manual)
Walk from left to right and back again in front of your Roboguard
to ensure it is triggering the HQ.
Distance problems? – Check the ‘Walk-Test Mode” section.
Replace the battery cover and start on your next Roboguard.
Don’t:
Your Roboguard is weatherproof, but don’t blast it with a hose or
sprinkler. No horizontal spray.
Don’t install at long distance without first checking reception on the
HQ – you may need a repeater station.
Plan your mounting spot – a parked car or an open door could
obstruct the Guard.
Bear in mind a dog on stairs or a bank can break both beams –
position your Guard with care (or see ‘blocking off beams’).
Do:
Ensure your Top beam is above the head (and tail) of your pet.
Ensure the intruder has to walk across the beams, not toward them.
Roboguards work anywhere – on a tree, on the roof, at an angle to
cover roofline or sloping ground – experiment.
