TM1550—Installation
Instructions
HOME
Recommended Tools: Screwdriver, (Philips head)
Step 1. In forested locations, select a site along the trail
with up to 10” diameter trees on both sides of the trail.
The extra set(s) of straps (included with your counter)
can be used to lengthen the straps, thus allowing the
attachment to large diameter trees.
Step 2. Mount the Receiver unit (with nylon straps,
provided on the unit) to one tree, with the sensor (located
on the right side of the unit) facing the opposite tree.
(Note, use the alignment sighting line to aim the
receiver’s sensor in the direction of the opposite tree
where the Transmitter unit will be mounted.)

Step 3. Turn “on” the Receiver unit’s
power switch and press the “Set Up”
button on the front of the unit.
Step 4. Mount the Transmitter unit on the
opposite tree (up to 150 feet away). Note,
the sensor of the transmitter is located on
the front face of the unit. This sensor should
be aiming back towards the Receiver unit.
Turn the power switch on.

Step 5. At this time, you should notice the
“red” alignment indicator on the Receiver unit
blinking indicating the transmitter and receiver
units are initially aligned.
Step 6. Tighten all mounting straps on each
unit. Then, take several passes back and forth
on the trail to verify that the counter is
counting. If not, reposition the Receiver unit
to align the sensor’s beam.
