SensorTronics STRIKE SENSOR User manual

PROGRAMMING YOUR SYSTEM Open the battery compart-
ments on the pager and transmitters. Locate the digital code panel (DIP
switch) in each unit. Carefully slide the 8 switches up or down to form a
pattern which will be your own personal code. (Example: 4 up and 4
down). NOTE: Be sure to code your pager and all your trans-
mitters with the same pattern.
ATTACHING THE TRANSMITTER Attach one of the enclosed
velcro strips to the bottom of the transmitter. Place the other velcro strip
on the tip-up and attach the transmitter to it. Refer to the illustrations
(below left) for the proper position in which to place the velcro for each
style tip-up used. Surfaces must be room temperature and dry.
Tie one end of the string to the metal clip (included). Attach the metal
clip to your tip-up flag while in the set position. Leaving a small amount
of slack in the string, measure and tie the other end to the transmitter
trip key.
BASIC USE Attach the transmitter to a set tip-up. Insert the trip key
into the slot on the top of the transmitter and clip the other end to the
flag. Switch the transmitter “ON” and extend the antenna. Switch the
pager unit “ON” and press “RESET”. Your system is now active.
TESTING THE PAGER BATTERY The pager is equipped with a
battery tester. To test, press and hold the “RESET” button. A sharp,
continuous “BEEEEP” indicates a good battery. A weak, intermittent
“beep, beep, beep” indicates a weak battery which should be replaced.
To prolong battery life, be sure units are turned off when not in use.
EFFECTIVE RANGE AND TRANSMISSION DISTANCE Strike
Sensor works on a powerful FM radio signal that has worked in tests up
to 650 feet. Your reception distance will vary depending upon atmos-
pheric conditions. For optimal range, the area between the pager and
transmitters should be unobstructed and in a direct line of sight. The
pager antenna wire must be straight up. Carry the pager with the
antenna outside your clothing in a chest pocket or as high as possible.
The higher the pager is elevated from the transmitters, the
better the reception. When fishing from a metal shanty or lake cot-
tage, place the pager in a window facing the transmitters. Precipitation
can reduce range.
NOTE: Avoid condensation in the units. After each outing,
bring units indoors. Clean well, and store in a dry place.
FCC COMPLIANCE This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against harmful interference in residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by SensorTronics,
Inc., can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
BATTERY INSTALLATION Install a 9 volt battery in the pager and
transmitters as the diagram in the battery compartments illustrate.
Be sure all battery connections fit tightly.
In the transmitter, coil excess wire immediately in front of the battery,
making sure there is no wire above or below the battery itself. Wire from
the battery to the DIP switch compartment should be tucked into the
crack along side the compartment divider.
Note: For optimum cold weather operation, always use
alkaline or lithium batteries.
The pager can also be powered using an optional AC or DC adapter.
The AC/DC adapter plugs into the jack on the side of the pager. These
adapters will override an installed battery and are readily available in the
electronics department of most stores.
Adapters with an output of 9V DC 500mA are recommended.
Any number of
transmitters can be coded
to activate a single pager. STRIKE
