Ref: FCC submittal User Manual Pest Alert System Date: 3/15/03 User Manual Pest Alert System:
The New Pest Alert System comes complete with a base receiver unit and one or more
(weather proof) battery operated transmitters that attach to various style traps. After trap activation the transmitter sends an encoded signal to the base unit. The Receiver unit then activates both a flashing a red LED and a buzzer. A relay contact closure output is also provided which allows activation of all standard auto dialers. A preprogrammed message can then be sent which indicates that the trap has been activated making it a truly automated Animal Trap Detection System.
