When The Trap Shuts - MinkPolice MP2 Gebrauchsanweisung

2.5 Mounting the module on a trap
It is recommended to mount the module onto the trap and then
adjust the length of the string that connects the magnet holder to
the trap door.
- For cage traps, mount the module onto the trap using the two
plastic strips. For wooden traps, use screws for mounting the
module directly onto your trap. It is recommended to place the
module on the side of the trap. If the module is mounted on top
of the trap, birds can release the magnet from the module while
sitting on the trap, and thereby cause a false alarm.
- Load the trap and fasten the carabiner hook (with string) to the
trap door. Fasten the other end of the string to the magnet holder
on the module. Shorten the string to a length where the magnet
holder will be pulled off the module when the trap shuts. The
length of the string should be so that it is not tightened until the
trap door is at least half way closed.
- Test the system several times – when the trap shuts, you should
hear two long beeps ("OK") and subsequently receive an SMS or
email within 60 seconds. Alternatively, you can log into your
profile to see the status of the trap. Wait for an alarm message
before placing the magnet holder back onto the module.
- The antenna should point upwards for optimal signal reception.

When the trap shuts

After inspecting a released trap, simply load the trap and place the
magnet holder onto the red marker on the box. The module will
then report an "OK" status to your profile on minkpolice.com. If you
do not place the magnet back onto the red marker, the MinkPolice
server will send you reminders that the trap has still not been
checked. In the following section you can read how to register a
catch on your online user profile.
