Switch 4: Quick Reaction Mode
OFF: Normal – The top and bottom beams must be triggered within a ½ second of
each other to send a signal to the HQ.
ON:
Quick Reaction Mode decreases this to a ¼ second. This works well when
used in small areas as it decreases false alarms from moving laundry, leaves and
branches. It does, however, decrease sensitivity over large areas.
Switch 5: Decreased Sensitivity Mode
OFF: Normal
ON:
This mode is used to filter out electronic interference from motors, radios
and electronics as well as fluctuations caused by reflections off hot and cold surfaces.
It is only recommended for specific industrial applications.
Beam Strength Setting (2 Switch Box)
Beam Strength can be adjusted as follows:
20 metre plus range:
1 – OFF
2 - OFF
20 metre range:
1 – ON
2 – OFF
10-15 metre range:
1 – ON
2 – ON
Note
: The Roboguard responds best when set to the correct range. In smaller areas,
reduce the beam strength.
5. Troubleshooting False Alarms
The Roboguard sensors react to changes in movement, light and temperature that
occur within their field of view. It is therefore important that the Roboguard is not
installed in a position that inadvertently causes the unit to trigger a false alarm.
This can occur if:
•
The unit is exposed to sunlight reflecting off water or glass.
•
The unit is exposed to warm/cold thermals off surfaces, such as tar.
•
The unit is mounted to a moving structure.
•
There is moving vegetation between the unit and a significant heat source, such as
the sun.
•
The unit is struck by sprinklers.
•
The unit is not properly configured to miss dogs and birds.
•
The beams are not aligned properly.
Steps you can take to rectify these problems:
•
Try to identify what is causing the false alarms.
•
Cut back encroaching vegetation.
•
Move the Roboguard to exclude the problem area.
