Vibration/Magnet Sensor Quickstart Guide
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.
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.

Device Overview
Device Status Lights
NOTE: If the Sensor is out of range or the Hub unit was not turned on, the status LED on the Sensor will start rapidly blinking red after power up. Make sure the Hub unit was turned ON first, or try relocating the Sensor/Hub combination, so they are closer to each other. Power cycle or reset Sensor to retry Hub unit connectivity validation. (For further troubleshooting, refer to Installation & User Manual)
Activate Sensor
Scan the unique QR code located on the back of the device and follow all in-app instructions to finish activating your sensor.
Product Serial Number can be entered manually if QR code can not be read.
NOTE: QR code and serial number can also be found on the original packaging.
Start-Up Operation
IMPORTANT: Hub unit needs to be ON and in range, for Sensor connectivity.
Step 1: Press and release the power/function button; the status light blinks green.
Step 2:Once powered on, the Sensor will automatically send an ON alert to your Hub; then after about a 5 second pause the status light will rapid blink green to confirm a valid connection.
Step 3: Minimum required signal strength from sensors for reliable operation is approximately 106dB.
NOTE: If the Sensor is out of range or the Hub unit was not turned on, the status LED on the Sensor will start rapidly blinking red after power up. Make sure the Hub unit was turned ON first, or try relocating the Sensor/Hub combination, so they are closer to each other. Power cycle or reset Sensor to retry Hub unit connectivity validation. (For further troubleshooting, refer to Installation & User Manual)
Adjust Accelerometer Sensitivity
IMPORTANT: Sensor must be turned on to enter program mode.
Sensitivity
1 (Least Sensitive) > 10 (Most Sensitive) Default set at 7
Trigger Type Setup
Accelerometer (By Default)
* One minute trigger is only for the 1st through 5th trigger. The 6th trigger and after is a one hour backoff. The timer resets if the unit’s heartbeat goes out, power cycled, or a reed trigger will set it back.
Enable/Disable Accelerometer
Magnet Reed Switch (Optional item, purchased separately)
Enable/Disable Accelerometer
IMPORTANT: Remove batteries prior to changing jumper configuration.
See Installation & User Manual for detailed instructions.
Shutdown Operation
If the Sensor is not going to be used for an extended period of time:
Step 1: Press and release the power/function button; the status light starts blinking red.
Step 2: Sensor will continue to blink red 5 times during shutdown.
NOTE: If Hub unit is in range during the shut down process, the Sensor will send a power-down alert to your Skyhawk CE App.
Resetting Sensor
NOTE: While holding the function button, the status light sequence will pass though the sensitivity menu in which the status light will start blinking green/red. Continue to hold past this until the status light is only rapidly blinking red.
Battery Replacement
IMPORTANT: Always replace batteries with 2 new and identical name-brand AA alkaline batteries. If jumpers have been modified, removing and replacing batteries will update unit to new settings.
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.
