3. Opstelling

3.1. Tag Module Battery Installation

Die tag module uses a rechargeable LIR2032H coin cell battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged before installation for maximum operating time. A charger for this battery is typically included with the main Girafus Pro-Track-tor base unit.

  1. Gently slide open the casing van die tag module.
  2. Insert the LIR2032H battery into the empty case with the positive (+) terminal facing the plus sign indicated inside the case.
  3. Slide the two parts of the casing back together. A short beeping sound indicates the transmitter is now powered on.
  4. Use the provided small screwdriver and screws to secure the casing, ensuring it remains closed.

3.2. Charging the Tag Module Battery

The LIR2032H battery is rechargeable. A dedicated charger (typically included with the main base unit) is used for this purpose.

  1. Connect the charger to a power source via its micro USB port (cable usually included with the base unit).
  2. Insert the battery into one of the charging slots with the positive (+) side facing upwards.
  3. Observe the LED indicator on the charger: a red LED indicates 0-49% charge, a green LED indicates 50-95% charge. If the LED is off despite being connected, the battery is fully charged.

3.3. Heg die Tag Module to Your Pet

Die tag module can be attached to your pet's collar using the provided silicone case and Velcro strap.

  1. Plaas die tag module into the silicone sleeve.
  2. The sleeve has two slots. You can either thread your pet's collar directly through these slots, or if the collar is too large, use the included Velcro strap to secure the sleeve to the collar.

3.4. Synchronization with the Base Module

If you are using an extra tag module, it needs to be synchronized with your existing Girafus Pro-Track-tor base unit. Tag and base modules from the same set are usually pre-synchronized, but new or replacement tags require manual synchronization.

Video 1: How to synchronize an extra tag with the Girafus Basis? This video provides a visual guide on the synchronization process between the tag module and the base unit.

  1. First, deactivate all other linked tag modules by opening their casings (removing the battery connection).
  2. Ensure the new tag module to be linked is also deactivated (casing open, battery connection interrupted).
  3. On the base module, hold down the STEL button and the button for the desired channel (1-4) you want to link the new tag module to.
  4. While still holding these two buttons, turn on the base module using its ON/OFF switch.
  5. Hou aan om die STEL and channel buttons until the LED above the selected channel button has blinked twice.
  6. Release both buttons. If released correctly, the base module is now ready to create the new synchronization.
  7. Place the prepared new tag module near the base module, but no closer than 10 cm.
  8. Skakel die aan tag module by closing its casing (re-establishing battery connection). A beeping sound will be emitted.
  9. The distance indicator on the base module should now show the distance to the newly linked tag module. If this occurs, the linking has been successful.
  10. As jy die vrylaat STEL and channel buttons after the channel LED blinks for a third time, this will delete synchronizations to all linked tag modules. In this case, you will need to re-synchronize all tag modules individually.

4. Operating the Tracker

4.1. Skakel aan/af

  • Tag module: Die tag module powers on automatically when its casing is closed and the battery connection is established. It powers off when the casing is opened, interrupting the battery connection.
  • Base Module: The base module has an ON/OFF switch on its side. Slide the switch to 'ON' to activate and 'OFF' to deactivate.

4.2. Tracking Procedure

To locate your pet using the tag module and base unit:

  1. Verseker die tag module and base module are at least 1 meter apart for accurate signal reception.
  2. Switch on the base module. Channel 1 is automatically activated. If your tag is linked to a different channel, press the corresponding channel button (1-4) on the base unit.
  3. Wait a few seconds for the base unit to establish a connection with the tag module.
  4. The LED at the top of the base unit will light up if there is a radio connection. The longer the LED lights up, the better the connection.
  5. The quality of the radio connection is also indicated by the speed of the signal tone emitted via the loudspeaker (if not muted).
  6. To determine the direction of your pet, slowly spin around 360 degrees with the base module. The connection indicator (LEDs) will light up for the longest duration, and the signal tone will be emitted most often, in the direction of the strongest connection.
  7. Walk a few meters in the determined direction, then stop and wait a few seconds for the signal to update. Repeat this process until a short distance to the tag module is indicated.
  8. Once a short distance is indicated, try to locate your pet by visual contact.

4.3. Alarm/Mute Function

The base module features an Alarm/Mute switch. This switch allows you to select whether the base module should emit sounds during the search process or remain silent. If the switch is set to 'Alarm', the base module will make sounds. If set to 'Mute', the device remains silent, and you can rely on the LED indicators for tracking.

5. Onderhoud

5.1. Batteryversorging

  • Regularly check the charge level of the tag module battery and recharge it as needed.
  • Always ensure the battery is fully charged before extended use to maximize operating time.

5.2. Skoonmaak

  • Maak die tag module and silicone case with a soft, damp lap.
  • Vermy die gebruik van harde chemikalieë of skuurmiddels wat die toestel kan beskadig.

6. Probleemoplossing

6.1. Tag Module Not Connecting/Synchronizing

  • Gaan battery na: Verseker die tag module battery is correctly installed and fully charged.
  • Re-synchronize: Follow the synchronization steps carefully (Section 3.4). Ensure all other tags are deactivated during the process.
  • Afstand: Maintain a distance of at least 10 cm between the tag and base module during synchronization, and at least 1 meter during tracking.
  • Inmenging: Radio frequency (RF) technology can be affected by obstacles (walls, dense foliage) and other electronic devices. Try moving to an open area.

6.2. Kort batterylewe

  • Vol lading: Always fully charge the battery before use. Partial charges can reduce overall battery life.
  • Battery-ouderdom: Rechargeable batteries degrade over time. If battery life significantly decreases, consider replacing the LIR2032H battery.
