Triggering Sensors

• A number of triggering sensors may be used in conjunction with the target unit. 
• These sensors have been designed to connect directly into the individual target units or to be connected remotely via the auxiliary sensor radio system. 
• The triggering sensor is activated by the student's action such as pressing, turning, illuminating, breaking or entering.

Pressure Pad

• The pressure pad sends the appropriate trigger signal to activate the target when either body weight or vehicle weight is applied.

Infra-Red Sensor

• The infrared sensor is a battery-powered device and utilises a mounting bracket.   The infrared sensor will detect movement within an 8 metre (forward) distance and up to an 80 degree angle range.

Movement Sensors

• Mercury tilt sensor or reed switch sensor may be fitted either temporarily or permanently to doors, windows or handles which may be used during an operational sequence, thus giving the capability of the opening of the door by the trainee causing the initiation of a target sequence.

Light Sensors, Narrow and Wide Beam

• The light sensor is used in total darkness and will sense the light from either a torch/flashlight or from the opening of a door that allows light to enter the darkened space.

Auxiliary Sensor, Transmitter and Receiver

• The triggering sensors described above require a connecting lead to attach to the target unit. 
• If the sensor is situated a great distance from the target it will need to be carefully hidden or camouflaged so as not to alert the student to the sensor or the target. 
• Alternatively, the triggering sensor may be activated remotely at a distance of up to 25 metres via a radio transmitter. 
• This ensures cables are kept to a minimum, making the sensor and target easier to hide.
• The auxiliary sensor transmitter and receivers are multi-channel units, which allow one sensor to set off more than one target, if required.
