SkyGuard XR-8000 TRI is a programmable, propane-powered, triple-barrel bird and wildlife deterrent system. One remote controls up to 30 devices and stores 20 programs. Each program can define the operating sequence and delays for up to nine stations.
Choose according to your operating routine rather than sound output. Both systems produce a similar sound level; timing, firing patterns and power requirements are the main differences.
Set the interval manually from 1–20 minutes using the precision gas valve. The device fires once at each set interval. No battery or charging is required. Gas pressure from the propane cylinder primes the mechanism. The magneto system generates a spark that ignites the gas and produces the blast. The separately sold TMR01 timer provides one opening and one closing time. For example, it opens the gas supply at 08:00 and closes it at 17:00.
Automatic operation depends on the model: PRO3 supports start and stop times for six separate operating windows within a single day; Pro Basic offers day, night and 24-hour modes. Select 1, 2, 3, 4 or a random number of shots per cycle, with fixed or random intervals. A rechargeable battery is required. A compatible solar panel, sold separately, can support charging in the field, depending on sunlight and usage. Suitable for professional applications requiring greater control over operating schedules and firing patterns. The 2-metre wired controller allows convenient adjustment without standing next to the device.
Gas cylinder not included. The user must supply a compatible cylinder.
