BatCounter Manual
General Description
The BatCounter is an electronic device developed to
use in field applications for counting bats, birds or
other small animals passing through its rectangular
or square shaped aluminium frame.
The aluminium frame of the BatCounter has had a
black anodized surface treatment that protects the
BatCounter in the outdoor making it a rugged and
reliable partner.
When using the BatCounter for less than two
days, you can rely on electrical power via the 8 AA
batteries that are in the box. To enable longer runs,
hook the BatCounter up to an external battery of 12V
using the external power cable that is included.
The BatCounter detects and counts the different
passings of bats and stores all the information on
the SD Card. Not only will the collected data be
available on the SD Card, external communication
of this data is possible. Reports stating results and
default information can be send by email and or SMS
text messages at set intervals. This additional feature
will provide you with results without the need to be
physically present at the site and it will give the reas-
surance that the system is operating smoothly on a
constant basis.
Simultaneously with detecting bats passing through
its frame, the BatCounter is able to trigger your DSLR
camera (Nikon or Canon) using an external cable or
through infrared signal.
