Safety Instructions
Gateway:
1) Use only the delivered power supply unit.
2) The Gateway may only be opened by qualified personnel of Futuro Farming GmbH. Otherwise, certification and warranty may be void
3) If possible, install the gateway only in areas protected from rain.
4) In case of outdoor installation, make sure to use a main socket in a waterproof enclosure.
5) After final installation, keep a distance of minimum 20 cm to the gateway antenna to minimize RF exposure.
Sensors:
1) If possible, only use mounting materials from Futuro Farming GmbH to ensure optimum mounting and thus optimum measurement data.
2) The sensors contain a lithium battery. The sensor is potted to protect the electronics and therefore cannot be opened.
General:
1) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
2) These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
a) This device may not cause interference.
b) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
3) These devices contain licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development
Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(a) This device may not cause interference
(b) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Disposal
Gateway and sensors must not be disposed of with household waste. Dispose of these devices separately as electronic
waste. Attention: The sensors contain a lithium battery! (Lithium-Thionylchlorid/non-rechargeable)

Technical Notice
The Sensor is a pyroelectric infrared sensor (PIR Sensor) which gets stimulated by the heat radiation of the calf. It has a
52 degrees opening angle and 3-4m range. Make sure that the sensor is attached at the front gate centrally near the feed
buckets. Make sure that the sensor is only measuring exactly 1 calf and no other neighboring calves! If the gate is too long
and the sensor would measure neighboring calves, use e.g. plastic partition walls or increase distance between calves to
ensure that only 1 calf is measured! If there is no backwall cover for your calf hutches and the sensor would measure
calves behind the 1 calf (consider the 3-4m range of sensor), make sure to use e.g. plastic partition back walls or increase
distance between calves to ensure that only 1 calf is measured! Any other mounting setup is considered false mounting
and false usage of this product!
