Electrical applications for non-deadly animal traps built up with intelligent radio module, drive electronics for servomotors (flap drive) and drive electronics for different low power light barriers.

- Radio module V1.0 add-on board (not illustrated)
- Electronic light barriers for different distances.
- Servomotor and shutter is adjusted to the end positions.
The radio handheld transmitter is able to open and close the shutter by pressing a button.
Light barrier 1 and light barrier 2 are connected with logic AND. Both light barriers needs a falling edge of the signals to close the shutter. Light barrier 1 and light barrier 2 is forbidden to open the shutter.
Pushbutton 1 and pushbutton 2, mounted on the top of the electronical circuit, are able to open and close the shutter.
Standby 20.8mA@6V, clocked approx. 2.0mA@6V (after 10 minutes).
Operate mode 320mA@6V (max.)

Wireless module receives and evaluates the data received from a transmitter.
In order to carry out a command from a transmitter, it must first be taught. Teaching of a transmitter is carried out very easily by means of a button. As required, up to 60 transmitters can be taught with all keys or individual transmission keys. The particular highlight is the feedback from the receiver. You can see from the transmitter whether the wireless communication was successful and receive information about the quality of the transmission path. Electronical release range of 70 metres tested in urban environment.
Examples after teaching the modules:
Hand-held transmitter --> Button1 -- Trap1 --> Shutter closed
Hand-held transmitter --> Button2 -- Trap1 --> Shutter open
Hand-held transmitter --> Button3 -- Trap2 --> Shutter closed
Hand-held transmitter --> Button4 -- Trap2 --> Shutter open
or
Hand-held transmitter --> Button1 -- Trap1-Trap2-Trap3-Trap4 --> Shutter closed
Hand-held transmitter --> Button2 -- Trap1-Trap2-Trap3-Trap4 --> Shutter open
Trigger always the same positions over input signals (two end points) or over pushbuttons.
The servo setup procedure consists of 4 steps:
Adjust end position 1. This can be the most left or the most right end point. This position will be reached after power-up if valid servo data has been found in FLASH. Adjust end position 2. This is the opposite end position to position 1. Adjust servo speed. The servo permanently moves between the two end points. The speed can be adjusted via S1 and S2. Asserting S3 the 4th time stores the servo parameters into FLASH and returns to normal operation

Examples for shutter positions after adjust the end positions:
Pushbutton 1 end position 1 --> Shutter open
Pushbutton 2 end position 2 --> Shutter closed
or
Input signal 1 end position 1 --> Shutter open
Input signal 2 end position 2 --> Shutter closed
Supported two low power light barriers, adjustable for different distances(size of animal) 10 centimetres to tested 3.3 metres. The beam is scattered light independently and invisible. Wide power input range of light barrier circuit board 3.3V to max.60V. Used receiver from Vishay "TSSP58038" and LED from Vishay "VSLB3940"

Examples for light barriers:
Light barrier 1 and light barrier 2 are connected with logic AND. Both light barriers needs a falling edge of the signals to close the shutter.
Light barrier 1 or light barrier 2 are able to open or to close the shutter.
