OVERVIEW
The Delsar®Victim Simulator is designed to assist in training and testing of the
Delsar®LifeDetector system. Effective training requires realistic conditions that
can be repeated until the student learns the procedures. The Victim Simulator
is designed to provide a controlled seismic input to allow realistic training in the
use of the LifeDetector.
The Victim Simulator consists of a battery powered motor driven hammer
that strikes the surface at a rate of approximately 40 times per minute. The
Victim Simulator operates from both an integrated on/off switch and a wireless
remote control switch. The unit will operate for approximately four hours on
two standard nine-volt alkaline batteries. Remote control operation range is
approximately 60 feet (20m), however this may vary depending on consistency
of the rubble pile.
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always remove the batteries from the unit for storage. If the
batteries run down, they can leak and cause damage to the unit.
• Do not carry the unit by the antenna. This will severely damage
the antenna.
• Do not submerge the unit in water. It is not watertight.
• Remote control range may be reduced by environmental conditions.

VICTIM SIMULATOR SETUP
Battery Installation
The Delsar®Victim Simulator is shipped with the batteries removed and the
remote control antenna detached. Both must be installed to operate the unit.
To install the batteries, remove the battery compartment door which is located on
the bottom of the housing between the rubber feet. To open the compartment,
remove the two screws with thumb and forefinger.
Install the batteries, observing the correct polarity. Be careful not to pull the
battery wires more than one inch (25 mm) from the battery housing.
Install the batteries, observing the correct
polarity. Be careful not to pull the battery
wires more than one inch (25 mm) from
the battery housing.
NOTE:
Overextending the wire may cause
damage to the wires. The unit will run
on one battery, however run time will
be reduced to less than two hours. With
the batteries installed, carefully nest the
battery into each compartment and push
the wires back into the upper housing
to prevent them from getting pinched.
Reinstall the battery cover plate.

Antenna Installation
With the battery cover plate reinstalled, set the unit on its four rubber feet.
Install the remote control antenna by carefully threading the antenna onto the
antenna mounting stud located on the top of the Victim Simulator. The antenna
should thread easily onto the stud. If it does not, it may be cross threaded. Gently
tighten the antenna until it seats into the recessed pocket. Over tightening the
antenna will damage the antenna.
Do not carry the unit
by the antenna.

VICTIM SIMULATOR OPERATION
To operate, place the Victim Simulator on a smooth surface that is free of
loose debris, such as sand or soil. Depress the switch to the left to activate
unit immediately or press the switch to the right to select the remote control
operation. When remote control operation is selected, the unit can be turned
on or off from the remote control transmitter. Push the remote control once to
activate the thumper and push once again to turn off. Leaving the rocker switch
in the remote control position will cause battery drain even when the thumper
is not running.
The remote control can be programmed with a unique code to prevent
interference when using multiple Victim Simulators. The code is set in the Victim
Simulator unit by removing the top cover and selecting the desired code switch.
To remove top cover, remove the
four screws with a number two
Phillips driver.
Carefully lift the lid out of the
housing and turn over to expose
the circuit board attached to the
underside of the lid.

Once the code is selected in the main unit,
the exact same code must be selected in
the remote control transmitter. To set the
transmitter code, open the transmitter
housing by inserting a coin into the rear of
the housing near the key chain slot. Pry the
housing open and locate the code circuit
wire traces on the circuit board. Matching
the exact same code that was set in the
Victim Simulator, scratch the trace to select
the proper code sequence. When the circuit
trace is scratched, it is the same as setting it
to “off”. Reassemble the transmitter housing
and test the remote control to verify correct
operation.
Use a small screwdriver to slide the switch
to set the code. Any combination may be
used. When reinstalling the lid, align the lid
so that the rocker control switch is directly
over the hammer shaft and make sure that
all the wires are clear of pinch points.

According to most export laws, the customs value stated on the return shipment
will be either the repair price in the case of billable repairs or the cost of repair
to the manufacturer in the case of warranty repairs. The recipient is responsible
for payment of all customs charges such as duty upon re-entry to their country.
Documents showing proof of original export for repair may be required to
minimize these charges. Return documents will state an Insurance Value for the
equipment in case of loss. This value is usually much higher than the Customs
Value. An Ex-Works return shipment can be requested if the customer chooses
not to insure the return shipment.
User comments and suggestions are always appreciated. We continually strive to
improve our products and this can only be done with your help. Let us know what
you like and what changes would help make the system better suit your needs.
