Battery Consumption
Assuming 5 birds programmed on normal mode and volume set to mid output (8).Each bird
call will play for an average of 80 seconds per speaker which totals 20 minutes. The unit will
be timing for an average of 30 minutes between broadcasts. (20 – 40 minutes for normal
mode)
Therefore the total draw in 24 hours will = 1.632Ahr (1.63 Amp hours drawn per 24 hours)
Battery life expectancy assuming a fully charged battery:
6.5Ahr 6.5/ 1.63 = 4 days
40Ahr 40 / 1.63 = 24.5 days
72Ahr 72 / 1.63 = 44 days
80Ahr 80 / 1.63 = 49 days
Low Standby Mode
•
The system will go into a low power standby mode (if enabled) and no broadcast is
running.
•
As standard each unit has low power standby mode activated.
•
The system will go into this mode if no buttons have been pressed for 15minutes, no
broadcast sequence is active during daylight and one hour after sunset has been
detected.
•
A brief press of the power button will bring the system out of this mode.
•
Low standby mode is indicated by a brief flash of the light sensor LED during night time
or a brief flash of the set mode (N, R or S) during day time.
•
To force low power standby to run, press ‘N’, ‘R’ or ‘S’ button to stop the current
broadcast then press power button briefly, after 10 seconds the system should power
down into low power mode.
•
Low power mode is indicated by a brief flash of the power LED, the light sensor led (if
night) or either the ‘N’, ‘R’ or ‘S’ led’s if daytime.
LED meanings
•
All number LED’s flash four times when any button pressed = System locked by PIN,
press N for 3 seconds then enter PIN number.
•
Number LED’s 1-4 flashing continuously = > PIN number entry expected.
•
All number LED’s flash twice after PIN entry = PIN number entry correct.
•
All number LED’s on for 2 seconds = PIN number incorrect or timeout ERROR.
•
All number LED’s scroll down from 10 to 1 after factory reset = Confirmation of reset to
defaults.
•
N,R or S LED flashing indicates that the random timer between broadcasts is running.
•
A single number LED flashing indicates that particular bird is broadcasting.
