Kiwi Installation:

The Skyhawk Kiwi can be installed using these main methods that include using the supplied 3M dual-lock strips, hanging the unit using the supplied lanyard (or using your own nail or hook) or by placing the unit on or in the object to be protected.

Method 1 : 3M Dual-Lock Strips

Step 1: In the accessory kit locate the two sets of 3M dual-lock strips. Keep each set of strips together and do not separate them at this time!

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the Kiwi with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the strips.

Step 3: Peel one side only of each set of strips to expose the adhesive and affix to the rear of the unit.

Step 4: Make sure the area where the Kiwi will be attached has a clean surface for proper bonding of the strips. Do not separate the strips from the back of the unit at this time!

Step 5: Peel the remaining side of each of the strips to expose the adhesive and position it on the object and press down on the whole Skyhawk unit. Do not remove the Skyhawk at this time – give the 3M dual-lock adhesive about 30-minutes to bond.

Method 2 : Self-Stick Mounting Magnets

Step 1: In the accessory kit locate the two self-stick mounting magnets.

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the Kiwi 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the magnets.

Step 3: Peel off the paper to expose the adhesive and affix magnets to the rear of the unit.

Step 4: The Kiwi is ready to be mounted. Make sure the area where the Kiwi will be attached is ferrous iron or steel.

Method 3 : Lanyard, Nail or Hook

Step 1: In the accessory kit locate the lanyard.

Step 2: Attach the lanyard through the mounting cutout on the top of the unit.

Step 3: Hang the Kiwi off of the lanyard on a hook or nail. If the hook or nail is small enough to fit through the

mounting cutout then the lanyard might not be needed.

Installation – Safety Guidelines:

Make sure when placing the Kiwi on an object that it is securely attached and cannot fall off and injure someone or fall onto a hard surface and damage the unit.

Make sure that when placing the Kiwi it will not interfere with other equipment.

 

Kiwi Start-Up Operation:

Before moving forward with the unit operation you must download the Skyhawk CE app onto your smart device and sign up for an account.

Step 1: Download and install the Skyhawk CE app from the Apple or Goggle Play store onto your compatible smart device. Go to sky-hawk.com for more detailed information on which devices are supported.

Step 2: Make sure the unit is powered ON by pressing the Kiwi button once; during this power up cycle the LED indicator will blink GREEN. After unit is powered up it will automatically send a turn ON alert to the smart device app.

Step 3: After the initial boot up the unit is now ready to accept a trigger from any of the activated on board sensors. When sending a trigger there are two stages of LED indicators. The first stage checks the battery and will indicate a good battery with two GREEN blinks or for a low battery two RED blinks. The second stage makes the cellular connection to the application server which normally occurs about 30 seconds after the initial trigger. If the trigger information is sent successfully to the network then the LED indicator will go solid GREEN for about 6 seconds or for a failed connection go solid RED for about 6 seconds. Failed connections have an automatic retry interval.

Step 4: After the trigger the unit will return to power savings mode. It will not be ready for the next trigger until after the specified times set in the Alert Interval Options in the app.

Kiwi Shut-Down Operation:

When the Kiwi is not going to be used for more than a few weeks it should be powered down to conserve battery life.

Step 1: Press the Kiwi button twice within 3 seconds.

Step 2: During the power down process (while the LED is blinking RED) the unit will send an alert to make sure

that the registered owner of the device is notified the Kiwi is going off-line.

Kiwi Reset Operation:

Resetting allows the unit to communicate back to the mobile application and allow the user to put the unit back into normal operation or set a corrected pause schedule. One of the top reasons to perform this action would be if the user loaded too long of a “pause” schedule on the Kiwi.

Step 1: Press and HOLD the Kiwi button for more than 5 seconds but fewer than 10 seconds.

Step 2: The LED will begin to rapidly blink RED (for about 5 seconds) while the reset is being performed.

Kiwi Battery Replacement:

The Kiwi comes with three AAA 1.5 volt lithium batteries already installed. Depending upon use it may take several years before the batteries need to be replaced. When they are replaced, a high quality name brand AAA lithium battery like an Energizer Advanced or Ultimate Lithium battery should be used.

Step 1: Remove the rear cover screws of the Kiwi using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure to turn the screws counter clock-wise.

Step 2: Remove the rear cover. There may be a gasket holding the unit together so it might take a bit of force to separate the rear cover from the front. There will also be two small O-rings between the two covers at the screw hole locations. Be sure not to misplace these as they provide the water-tight seal for the unit.

Step 3: Remove and dispose of the old batteries properly.

Step 4: Insert new batteries taking note of the direction symbols.

Step 5: Replace cover with Phillips screws and O-rings. Turn screws clock-wise making sure not to overtighten.

Kiwi LED Indicators:

The Skyhawk Kiwi is equipped with a multi-color LED indicator for feedback status to the user.

Below is a chart of the status indicators:

Power ON
Power OFF
Trigger and Transmit w/Good Battery
Trigger and Transmit w/Low Battery
Reset
Firmware Update
*Success Indicator
*Failure Indicator
Slow GREEN blinking (1 per second)

Two GREEN blinks
Two RED blinks
Fast RED blinking (1 per second) for 5 seconds
Fast BLUE blinking (1/4 per second) for duration
Solid GREEN for 6 seconds after operation
Solid RED for 6 seconds after operation

* These indicators are used to verify that a configuration change or firmware update to the unit has been either successfully received or is incomplete.

While unit is ON and not being triggered a status LED will flash every 10 seconds:

Last transmission was successful
Last transmission failed
Unit currently paused
Short GREEN blink (once)
Short RED blink (once)
Short BLUE blink (once)

Kiwi Reed Switch Magnet (ACCESSORY-RS1W or RS1G) Layout:

Reed Switch Magnet – This device is to be used as an accessory in conjunction with the reed switch sensor built into the Kiwi. The reed switch can be used as an alternate event trigger when separated from the unit.

Alignment Notch – This notch is used for proper alignment of the reed switch and the accompanying magnet. When mounting the Kiwi, ensure that the reed switch magnet is within 1″ of the alignment notch. Also ensure that the top of the magnet is level with the face of the Kiwi, as shown in the second view above. See page 15 for additional information on alignment and mounting instructions.

 

Kiwi Reed Switch Magnet (ACCESSORY-RS1W or RS1G) Mounting:

The reed switch magnet can be mounted using either the double-sided adhesive strips or mounting screws.

Step 1: The reed switch accessory kit has three (3) double-sided adhesive strips, two (2) mounting screws, two (2) spacers and one (1) reed switch magnet. These are all illustrated below.

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the magnet, peel back the paper of an adhesive strip, and stick to the back of magnet.

Step 3: Peel back the paper on the second side of the adhesive strip, and stick to the desired mounting location (door, wall, etc.) ensuring that the surface is clean and free of debris. Alternatively, use a spacer and another adhe- sive strip if additional clearance from the mounting surface is necessary for alignment (refer back to page 14 for proper alignment instructions).

Step 4 (optional): Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the mounting screws through the clearance holes by turning them clockwise and pressing them into the mounting surface.

Step 4 (optional): Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the mounting screws through the clearance holes by turning them clockwise and pressing them into the mounting surface.

Triggering Device with Reed Switch:

The Kiwi will send an alert when the reed switch magnet is separated from the unit. The Kiwi can detect the reed switch magnet up to 1 inch away, so moving the magnet outside of this range will trigger the unit and send an alert. See page 13 for a detailed list of notifications and LED indicators for your Kiwi.

Kiwi Pull Magnet (ACCESSORY-PM1) Mounting:

The Kiwi is supplied with a pull-magnet kit for users who choose to use the reed switch option.

Step 1: Locate the pull-magnet kit and take out the magnet mount while setting the other items off to the side.

Step 2: On the right side of the case there will be small notch that shows the reed switch centering location. Clean around this area with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the mount.

Step 3: Peel the backing off the magnet mount and affix to the side of case as shown. The mount should be centered on the notch.

Step 4: Locate the magnet and filament line from the kit. Run the line through the magnet and back around and tie a double knot. Note: Running the line through the magnet and tieing a knot is not suggested since it could pull though the magnet.

Step 5: Snap the magnet into the holder on the Kiwi.

Step 6: Tie other end of filament line to the object being monitored such as a door or trap; making sure that when tripped, the line will pull easily from the magnet mount on the Kiwi.

Kiwi Installation:

The Kiwi IR can be installed using four main methods that include using the supplied 3M dual-lock strips, hang- ing the unit using the supplied lanyard (or using your own nail or hook) or by placing the unit on or in the object to be protected. It is recommended to install the Kiwi IR roughly 4 feet to 5 feet from the ground for the most optimal detection field. See pages 14 & 15 for more details on the detection field of the Kiwi IR.

Method 1 : 3M Dual-Lock Strips

Step 1: In the accessory kit locate the two sets of 3M dual-lock strips. Keep each set of these strips together and do not separate them at this time!

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the Kiwi IR with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the strips.

Step 3: Peel one side only of each set of strips to expose the adhesive and affix to the rear of the unit.

Step 4: Make sure the area of where the Kiwi IR will be attached has a clean surface for proper bonding of the strips. Do not separate the strips from the back of the unit at this time!

Step 5: Peel the remaining side of each of the strips to expose the adhesive and position it on the object and press down on the whole Kiwi IR unit. Do not remove the Kiwi IR at this time – give the 3M dual-lock adhesive about 30-minutes to bond.

Method 2 : Self-Stick Mounting Magnets

Step 1: In the accessory kit locate the two self-stick mounting magnets.

Step 2: Clean the rear surface of the Kiwi IR with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the magnets.

Step 3: Peel off the paper to expose the adhesive and affix magnets to the rear of the unit.

Step 4: The Kiwi IR is ready to be mounted. Make sure the area where the Kiwi IR will be attached is a ferrous iron or steel.

Method 3 : Lanyard, Nail or Hook

Step 1: In the accessory kit locate the lanyard.

Step 2: Attach the lanyard through the mounting cutout on the top of the unit.

Step 3: Hang the Kiwi IR off of the lanyard on a hook or nail. If the hook or nail is small enough to fit through the mounting cutout then the use of the lanyard might not be needed.

Method 4 : On or in the object to be protected

 

The Kiwi IR can be placed on or in the object that is being monitored.

 

Installation – Safety Guidelines:

Make sure when placing the Kiwi IR on an object that it is securely attached and cannot fall off and injure some- one or fall onto a hard surface and damage the unit.

Make sure that when placing the Kiwi IR it will not interfere with other equipment.

Kiwi IR Start-Up Operation:

Before moving forward with the unit operation you must download the app onto your smart device and sign up for an account.

Step 1: Download and install the Skyhawk CE app from the Apple or Google Play store onto your compatible smart device. Go to sky-hawk.com for more detailed information on which devices are supported.

Step 2: Make sure the unit is powered ON by pressing the Kiwi IR button once; during this power up cycle the LED indicator will blink GREEN. After unit is powered up it will automatically send a turn ON alert to the smart device app.

Step 3: After the initial power up the unit is now ready to accept a trigger from any of the activated on board sensors. When sending a trigger there are two stages of LED indicators. The first stage checks the battery and will indicate a good battery with two GREEN blinks or for a low battery two RED blinks. The second stage makes the cellular connection to the application server which normally occurs about 30 seconds after the initial trigger. If the trigger information is sent successfully to the network then the LED indicator will go solid GREEN for about 6 seconds or for a failed connection go solid RED for about 6 seconds. Failed connections have an automatic retry interval.

Step 4: After the trigger the unit will return to power savings mode. It will not be ready for the next trigger until after the specified times set in the Alert Interval Options in the app.

Once the Kiwi IR has been properly mounted (as outlined in pages 4 & 5), and has been connected via your Skyhawk CE app (page 9), you are ready to start monitoring. See figure below for information on the field-of-view of your Kiwi IR device. Placing the Kiwi IR close to walls, ceilings, floors or other objects can affect the field of view of the sensor.

Kiwi IR Operation (Optional PIR Sensor Sleeve):

The Kiwi IR will detect the motion of warm bodies within the detection field shown above. The device will then send an alert to your connected device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to inform you that movement has been detected

In some challenging environmental applications where there could be a draft, then the optional PIR sensor sleeves can be used to reduce false triggering. Two sleeves are included: A FULL sleeve, which when used reduces the field of view to 70 degrees; and a HALF sleeve which splits the field in half. 

Kiwi IR Shut-Down Operation:

When the Kiwi IR is not going to be used for more than a few weeks it should be powered down to conserve battery life.

Step 1: Press the Kiwi IR button twice within 3 seconds.

Step 2: During the power down process (while the LED is blinking RED) the unit will send an alert to make sure that the registered owner of the device is notified the Kiwi IR is going off-line.

Kiwi IR Reset Operation:

Resetting allows the unit to communicate back to the mobile application and allow the user to put the unit back into normal operation or set a corrected pause schedule. One of the top reasons to perform this action would be if the user loaded too long of a “pause” schedule on the Kiwi IR.

Step 1: Press and HOLD the Kiwi IR button for more than 5 seconds but fewer than 10 seconds.

Step 2: The LED will begin to rapidly blink RED (for about 5 seconds) while the reset is being performed.

Kiwi IR Battery Replacement:

The Kiwi IR comes with three AAA 1.5 volt lithium batteries already installed. Depending upon use, it may take several years before the batteries need to be replaced. When they are replaced, a high quality name brand AAA lithium battery like an Energizer Advanced or Ultimate Lithium battery should be used.

Step 1: Remove the rear cover screws of the Kiwi IR using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure to turn the screws counter clock-wise.

Step 2: Remove the rear cover. There may be a gasket holding the unit together so it might take a bit of force to separate the rear cover from the front. There will also be two small O-rings between the two covers at the screw hole locations. Be sure not to misplace these as they provide the water-tight seal for the unit.

Step 3: Remove and dispose of the old batteries properly.

Step 4: Insert new batteries taking note of the direction symbols.

Step 5: Replace cover with Phillips screws and O-rings. Turn screws clock-wise making sure not to overtighten.

Kiwi IR LED Indicators:

The Skyhawk Kiwi is equipped with a multi-color LED indicator for feedback status to the user.

Below is a chart of the status indicators:

Power ON

Sensor User-Configurable Features:

The Sensor has two feature jumpers:

Jumper #1 – Not Used
Jumper #2 – Used to enable or disable the accelerometer sensor

Step 1: Open case as outlined in the Battery Replacement section of this manual and remove batteries.

Step 2: Remove circuit card from case and locate configuration header as shown below in the dashed circle.

Step 3: Move jumpers to configure settings (if different from the factory default settings).

Step 4: Install batteries and close case as outlined in the Battery Replacement section of this manual.

Sensor Installation:

The Sensor can be installed using various methods including, but not limited to, the following two examples using the supplied mounting accessories:

Method 1 : Self-Stick Mounting Magnets

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the four self-stick mounting magnets.

Step 2: Clean the four circular recessed areas on the back of the Sensor with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the magnets.

Step 3: Peel off the adhesive backing paper on the magnets and affix them to the circular recessed areas cleaned in Step 2.

Step 4: The Sensor is ready to be mounted. Make sure the area where the Sensor will be attached is ferrous, iron or steel.

Method 2 : Tacky Puddy

Step 1: In the accessory kit, locate the tacky puddy strip.

Step 2: Tacky puddy can be attached to the bottom or sides of the Sensor. It is recommended that the tacky puddy pieces are not attached to the top of the unit since that would limit visibility to the LED indicator and function button.

Step 3: Attach to the object being monitored.

Tacky puddy can damage some surfaces.

Installation – Safety Guidelines:

Make sure when placing the Sensor on an object that it is securely attached and cannot fall off and injure someone or fall onto a hard surface and damage the unit.

Make sure that when placing the Sensor that it will not interfere with other equipment.

Sensor Pull-Magnet Installation:

The Sensor is supplied with a pull-magnet kit for users who choose to use the reed switch option.

Step 1: Locate the pull-magnet kit and take out the magnet mount while setting the other items off to the side.

Step 2: On the back edge of the cover there will be small notch that shows the reed switch centering location. Clean this area below the notch with 70% isopropyl alcohol for proper bonding of the mount.

Step 3: Peel the backing off the magnet mount and affix to rear of case as shown. The mount should be centered on the notch and just below the seam of the top and bottom of the case.

Step 4: Locate the magnet and filament line from the kit. Run the line through the magnet and back around and tie a double knot. Note: Tying a knot at the end is not suggested since it could pull though the magnet.

Step 5: Snap the magnet into the holder on the Sensor.

Step 6: Tie the other end of filament line to the object being monitored, such as a door or trap; making sure that when tripped, the line will pull easily from the magnet mount on the Sensor.

Sensor Start-Up Operation:

Before moving forward with the unit operation you must download the Skyhawk CE app onto your smart device and sign up for an account.

Step 1: Download and install the Skyhawk CE app from the Apple or Google Play store onto your compatible smart device. Go to sky-hawk.com for more detailed information on which devices are supported.

Step 2: Power ON the Sensor by pressing the function button; release when the GREEN LED starts blinking. The unit will continue to power ON by flashing the GREEN LED.

Step 3: After the unit is powered up, it will automatically send a power ON alert to the Skyhawk HUB that will in turn send an acknowledgement back to the Sensor. The acknowledgement on the Sensor will be indicated by a rapid flashing GREEN LED for 5 seconds. Additionally, the sensor status information is sent to the Skyhawk CE app via the cellular network. This initial trigger can take a minute or two and will verify connectivity between all the parts in the system. If the acknowledgement is a rapid flashing RED LED for 5 seconds, then the sensor could be out-of-range from the HUB. If out of range, power OFF the device then go back to Step 2.

Step 4: The unit now automatically goes into armed mode. Whenever the unit is moved beyond the set sensitivity or the reed switch is activated by a magnet pull from the holder, then it will be triggered. This triggered information is sent to the Skyhawk CE application via the Skyhawk HUB’s cellular connection. When the unit is triggered it will blink BLUE twice followed by the rapid flashing GREEN/RED for 5 seconds depending on if it was successful.

Step 5: Unit returns to sleep and has a 60 second back-off until the unit can be triggered again.

Sensor Shut-Down Operation:

When the Sensor is not going to be used for more than a few weeks, it should be powered down to conserve battery life.

Step 1: Power OFF the Sensor by pressing the function button; release when the RED LED starts blinking. The unit will continue to power OFF by flashing the RED LED five times.

Step 2: During the power down process (while the LED is blinking RED) the unit will send an alert to make sure that the registered owner of the device is notified the Skyhawk Sensor is going off-line.

Sensor Reset Operation:

The Sensor has the ability to be reset back to default settings.

Step 1: Press and HOLD the button, between 5 – 15 seconds the LED blinks red and green simultaneously. After 15 seconds of the button been held, the LED keeps blinking RED rapidly and the Step 2 will only take place if the button is released (after the rapid red blinks).

Step 2: The LED will begin to rapidly blink Red/Green/Blue (continuous rapid flash) continuous rapid flash RED, release button.

Sensor Battery Replacement:

The Sensor comes with two AA 1.5 volt alkaline batteries already installed. Depending upon use, it may take several years before the batteries need to be replaced. When they are replaced it is suggested to use a high qual- ity name brand AA alkaline battery like an Energizer or Duracell. Follow the instructions below to replace these batteries.

Step 1: Remove the cover screws of the Sensor using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure to turn the screws counterclockwise.

Step 2: Remove the front cover. There will be a gasket holding the unit together so it might take a bit of force to separate the cover from the enclosure.

Step 3: Remove the PC card with attached battery holder from the enclosure. This can easily be done by turning the unit over and allowing the battery holder to fall into your hand.

Step 4: Remove and dispose of the old batteries properly.

Step 5: Insert new batteries taking note of the direction symbols.

Step 6: Replace PC card with attached battery holder by aligning holes to the mounting pins in the enclosure. Replace cover making sure to align LED indicator on the cover to the LED on the PC Card (take note of image below for details). Replace cover screws. Turn screws clockwise so they are just starting to pull the case closed. Final tighten screws to 1.25Nm in order: 1, 4, 3 then 2 (X pattern) until completely seated.

Sensor LED Indicators:

The Sensor is equipped with a multicolor LED indicator for feedback status to the user.

Below is a chart of the status indicators:

Power Up w/Acknowledgement (PASS)
Power Up w/Acknowledgement (FAIL)
Power Down
Trigger
Reset
Blinking GREEN LED
Blinking GREEN LED five times followed by rapid flashing GREEN 5s
Blinking RED LED
Blinking BLUE LED two times
Fast Blinking RED LED

While unit is ON and not being triggered a status LED will flash every 10 seconds:

Sensor Accelerometer Sensitivity Adjustment:

When the unit is ON, hold the function button for 3-6 seconds until the blinking RED LED changes to a RED & GREEN alternating pattern. Once in program mode, push the button (press quickly, as many times as neccessary). The GREEN LED will flash for each button click in program mode. Click the button 1-10 times and then let the unit sit for 10 seconds. The GREEN LED will then flash X number of times to indicate how many clicks were processed and set as the new sensitivity setting. The unit then will perform a connection back to the Skyhawk HUB that will report back the new setting to the Skyhawk CE application.

Accelerometer Sensitivity Note:

Sensors are shipped with a default maximum sensitivity of 7, unless otherwise noted. This will help ensure ac- tivation in multi-catch deployments or snap trap deployments inside cardboard boxes or rodent stations. High sensitivity can lead to false alerts from external environmental factors such as rain, hail or extraneous vibrations. If false alerts arise, the vibration sensitivity can be reduced using the procedure above. The sensor can also be used in reed switch(magnet pull)mode to detect physical displacement from snap trap closures. Using both sensors can be a useful deployment in live animal trap cage deployments. The cage door closing event can be positively moni- tored with the reed switch sensor through a magnet pull. Animal captures can be confirmed with a high sensitivity vibration setting to confirm the animal capture. Vibrations alerts that are not preceded by a door closure alert can be disregarded.
