Tone Indicators
When in normal containment mode the GPS Mobile Collar
™
Unit will generate tones
associated with real time operation. Audible beeps emanating from the GPS Mobile
Collar
™
Unit are intended to warn the pet that a correction is immanent if the violation is
not corrected. Training must therefore teach retreat as the desired response to any audible
beep or tone. The duration of the warning beeps depends on the violation type. There is
less warning as the urgency of the violation increases. Warning time accumulates and is
inherited by any subsequent violation. Accumulated warning time is discarded only when
there is no current violation, a correction is always accompanied by a solid tone.
o
Two beeps per second indicate an Anti-Linger warning.
An Anti-Linger violation occurs when there has been recent or current
movement at a speed greater than 1 foot per second and the pet is adjacent
to a
boundary.
o
Four beeps per second indicate a Time To Boundary warning.
A Time to Boundary violation occurs in response to movement from
within the containment perimeter and toward a boundary. There must be
recent or current movement at a speed greater than 1.5 feet per second and
on a course indicating a boundary will be reached within three seconds.
o
A solid tone indicates that the cumulative warning time has elapsed and a
Correction is being delivered. (The level is dependent on the violation type; Anti-
Linger, Time To Boundary, or Out violation)
An Out violation occurs when there has been recent or current movement
and the pet is beyond a boundary. An Out violation does allow for up to 1
second of accumulated warning time. In practice, however, one or more of
the other violations will likely have accumulated more than one second of
warning time. When the accumulated warning time exceeds 1 second, the
GPS Mobile Collar
™
Unit will emit a correction until the violation is
corrected, the 30 second correction timeout is reached, or the pet is past
the Disarm distance of the containment perimeter for 30 seconds. If either
the 30 second timeout occurs, all warnings and corrections are disarmed.
Once warnings and corrections are disarmed, the unit may re-enter the
permitted area without warning or correction. Distress Alarm messages are
sent if the Unit is Disarmed.
