INTRODUCTION
The Pegasus™Equine Monitoring System allows for both real-time and continuous monitoring of a
horse’s temperature and postural behavior (orientation). Simply attach the microsensor to a horse’s
tail and owners, veterinarians, and trainers have 27/7/365 access to critical horse vital and postural
behavior/activity data. If the Pegasus System detects abnormal vitals and/or behavior, an alert is
sent to key team members via smartphone, tablet and computer. This system can assist with early
detection of fever, colic, laminitis and even helps provide real-time foal monitoring.
Pegasus™Microsensor technology for real-time biometrics saves time and labor by eliminating the
need for manual equine temperature readings. Data gathered by the Pegasus™Equine Monitoring
System can be accessed virtually anywhere at anytime from your Pegasus™Cloud Dashboard.
Key Features:
• 27/7/365 Temperature and Orientation Monitoring
• Text Message Alerts for Abnormal Readings (Veterinarian, Owner, Trainer, etc.)
• Customizable Time-Based Reports (eg. daily, weekly, monthly)
• Simultaneously Monitor Multiple Horses
• Even Monitors During Transport

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The Pegasus™ Equine Monitoring System includes the Pegasus™ Microsensor, which transmits
temperature and orientation data to the Pegasus™ Relay Device, which, in turn, transmits this data to
the Pegasus™ Cloud Dashboard.
Note
Upon your purchase of the Pegasus™ Equine Monitoring System, you will be provided
a username, password and login URL for the Pegasus™ Cloud Dashboard. Store this
information in a safe and secure location. For problems logging into your dashboard
account, please send an email to [e-mail], provide your phone
number and name and a representative will get back to you within 3 hours.
Warning
Before Setting Up the Pegasus™ Relay Box, ensure easy access to an AC power supply
with adequate ventilation. Do not stack items on top of the relax box as this may result
in damage to the box components. A computer can also act as a power supply via the
relay box micro port and the computer’s USB port.
Note
If your environment has a wireless connection, you will only need to plug the relay box
into a power source and you are ready to go. If you require broadband via a landline to
connect to the internet, plug one end of a broadband cable into your broadband outlet
and the other end into the ethernet port on your relay box.
1. Connect the micro USB power cord
Connect the AC adapter to the relay box via it’s micro USB port and then plug it into an electrical
outlet or surge protector.
Warning
The Micro USB power cord is design to work with most electrical outlets in the world but power supply
connectors and power strips can vary from country to country. Using an incompatible cable or improperly
connecting the cable to a power strip may cause re and may damage the relay box.
Note
A computer can also act as a power supply for the relay box. This requires a micro USB / USB cable (sold
separately at retail outlets).
2. Placing the Pegasus™Relay Device
After the relay box has been plugged into an electrical outlet or surge protector, ensure that the
power cord will not be tripped over or stumbled on as this may cause injury and may damage the
relay box. Placing the relay device in a central area of the barn, stable or vet clinic (up in the rafters is
a recommended location for signal reception).

3. Turn on the Pegasus™Microsensor
Press and hold the power button on the microsensor for 3 seconds. To ensure that your
microsensor and relay device are “paired” and properly functioning, log into your Pegasus™
Dashboard Account. You should see unique ID of the microsensor on the dashboard. The
microsensor will ash 12 times with a green LED indicating that it has paired with the relay box.
When rst turning on the power be within approximately 20 feet of the relay box.
Note
The microsensor collects temperature data, which is send to the cloud dashboard via the relay box. If a
microsensor is out of range of a relay box, the temperature data is saved and uploaded once it comes
in range on a relay box. Additionally, once a Pegasus™Microsensor has been paired with one Pegasus™
Relay Device, it will transmit data when it comes in range of any Pegasus™Relay Device.
4. Attach the Pegasus™Microsensor to the horse’s tail.
Place the Pegasus Microsensor into the adjustable Velcro®strap with the label side in. Wrap a small
handful of tail hair into the strap to help hold it in place. The microsensor should be secured as close
to the anus as possible. It is required that the sensor be in contact with the bare skin to ensure
good thermal conductivity. As you tighten the strap weave some tail hair into the Velcro®. Do not
over tighten strap. Check the strap tension after approximately one hour to ensure that the blood
ow has not been reduced or cut off to the tail.
Warning
Applying a strap, bandaging or wrapping material to a horse’s tail that will be left on for a period of
time should be regularly monitored to ensure that it does not become too tight or bunch up and cause
constriction. Reducing blood ow to a horse’s tail may result in severe damage to the tail.
Note
Attaching the micorsensor can be accomplished using alternative methods such as using 3M™Vet Wrap
to attach the micorsensor (often done with foaling mares).
Microsensor inserted into adjustable
strap with label side in.
5
Note
Align microsensor such that it is on the underside of the tail and centered.
Remember label side of the microsensor should be facing in and it should be
in contact with bare skin.
Note
Within 24 hours of microsensor activation, it is recommended to take your horse’s
temperature manually and that this manual reading is recorded in the “Record Tem-
peratures” section on the dashboard. Manual readings help ne-tune the tempera-
ture algorythm. A manual reading should be taken every 6 months, or with a known
fevered horse, and recorded on the cloud dashboard. Any large deviations between a
manual and microsensor readings should be sent to: [e-mail]
Note
The microsensor contains a litium-ion battery with an average use life of 3 years.
When the battery dies, the microsensor can be discarded a most waste collec-
tion sites.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE (PEGASUS™CLOUD DASHBOARD)
To access the Pegasus Cloud Dashboard:
a. Go to the following URL:
Enter your username and password.
Note
After activating your Pegasus™ Microsensor,
and identifying the unique ID, you may enter
the horses name to associate a particular
microsensor with a specic horse. From
the home page (Readings), navigate to Tag
Resistration. Enter the horse’s name in the
Animal ID Box.
Note
For login issues, send an email to:
[e-mail]
Please include your name, your phone
number and your veteranarian and any
specic problems you are having.
Note
If you monitor multiple horses, each horse needs
a microsensor but you will need only one relay
box. The default view on the cloud dashboard
is to show mutliple horses. If you want to look
at the data for a specic horse, you can either
click on that horse from the readings page or run
reports specically for the horse in question.
Note
The default settings for sending text alerts for
temperature are set at 104 Deg F (40 C) and is
80 Deg F (26 C). (If you receive a text alert for
low settings, this typically indicated a malfuntion
or that the sensor is not longer in contact with
the horse’s skin). These uper and lower settings
can be modied by the user using the settings
function on the cloud dashboard.
