Software/App

Device Overview

The Trapmate Vibration/Magnet Sensor attaches to traps and stations and sends alerts to the Skyhawk CE and enterprise apps via the Trapmate Hub.

To detect vibrations, attach the sensor to the trap or station either directly or via an object attached to the trap or station.

The magnet sensor detects when a magnet is pulled away from the body of the sensor. You can use Trapmate adapters and connectors to attach the magnet to a moving part of a trap or cage or station.

Device Overview

The sensor settings can be adjusted for sensitivity to adjust for the location conditions in which the sensor is installed, e.g., a windy area or an area near forklift traffic.

The guide below provides information on how to set up your adapter, adjust its settings, and understand its status from the LED indicator.

Battery Optimization

While transporting or not actively using the Sensor in a deployment, it is recommended to power down the device to prevent unwanted and excessive triggering. Accelerometer will activate due to vibration in transport and battery life will shorten considerably.

If not using the Sensor for more than 1–2 days, it is recommended to turn the device off. Store unit in a dry place when not in use.
