Pest Connect Overview
Pest Connect is a system that enables remote monitoring of devices. Data from sensors is sent to
a Connect Control Panel which establishes a secure connection to a central server where the
data is passed to the Rentokil Systems.
Typical sensors that are used in the Pest Connect system are the Connect Radar mouse trap and
the AutoGate Connect, shown below in Figure 1.
A typical installation will have many sensors communicating to the Connect Control Panel and a
single control panel can manage up to 300 sensors. Where necessary multiple Control Panels
could be deployed onto a site and up to 8 co-located control panels are permitted. In such a
system if the sensors fail to connect to the Control Panel they will scan for alternative Control
Panels to ensure high levels of connectivity.
NOTE: The control panels that are suitable for using with AutoGate Connect must also be
equipped with LongReach technology.

Product Description
AutoGate Connect is a battery powered unit that has been designed to detect rats and provides a barrier
between the entry section of a bait box and the bait section. AutoGate Connect units have two infrared
emitters which continuously pulse light, and are reflected off the rat’s fur, bouncing back to the Infrared
detectors. If the beams from both detectors are broken simultaneously then this counts as one activation.
Once the sensor is triggered 3 times, with at least a five minute interval between each activation, the gate
will open allowing the rats to access the bait in the bait section of the box.
Note: There is a five minute interval between each of the 3 required activations to ensure that the gate is not
triggered three times by one visiting rat.
AutoGate Connect features a motorised door capable of opening and closing. This enables the bait to be
isolated again after the baiting period by automatically closing again after, for example 5 days. There is also
an enhanced display that enables the technician to view, for example, number of days since baiting started,
number of activations and battery level.
The AutoGate Connect units will fit into FT150 and FT155 bait boxes (shown below).

User Interface
Pressing the push button will activate the display and then successive presses will move the
LED to the next position. The display items are shown below.
Days since Gate was Opened – represents the number of days since the gate was first
opened. This corresponds to the number of days that you have been baiting.
Number of Activations since gate was armed – represents the count of the number of times
that a rat has been in the bait box. This includes when the gate is open and closed.
Battery Percentage Indicator – represents the battery level as a percentage.
Technician Setup – when this item is selected all of the sensors must be activated in order to
arm the AutoGate Connect device.
Gate Armed – means that the AutoGate has been set up correctly. Note: If this LED is lit
together with any of the first 3 then the gate will continue to function after the display goes
out.
Indicating that there have
been 4 activations

Installing an AutoGate
Open the bait box that you wish to install the AutoGate in.
With the “External LED” on the AutoGate on the right hand side, insert the
AutoGate into place such that the door is in the middle of the bait box and the
support arms are either side of the walls as shown below.
Page 8
Instruction Manual Connect AutoGate/ 2017 Version 0.4 (GSD-100548)
Setting the AutoGate
Push the button to scroll through the menu in order to set the AutoGate. The
AutoGate is only successfully set when the
indicator is displayed.
When the “Technician Setup”
is selected then the door will move
up/down/up to test the motor and door sensors. If there is an error then E4 will
be displayed on the display.
After successfully testing the door the display will show 2 dots to indicate that it is
ready to test the sensors as shown below.
Ready to test sensors.
Move hand in front of the Bait side sensor and the middle bars
will be displayed as shown.
Move hand in front of the right hand Entry side sensor and right
bar is displayed as shown.
Move hand in front of the left hand Entry side sensor and left bar
is displayed as shown.
Once all 3 sensors have been tested (in any order) the radio will
scan for connection to a Control Panel. If connected it will display
“r” and a number. The number is the signal strength from 0-9.
E.g. “r8” as shown. If there is no connection only the “r” will be
displayed while scanning.
Once the Gate is tested and connected to the Control Panel the
ON symbol is lit as shown.

Checking the AutoGate
When the AutoGate is visited there are two options to check the functions:
Checking without resetting the AutoGate:
If the AutoGate is open when visited then it is possible to verify the number of days
that the gate has been open, the number of rodent visits, battery percentage by
pressing the button. The
LED will also be lit (see below) in the case that the
AutoGate is armed and in that case the full technician test is not required.
If the technician test is not carried out then the #Days and #Rodents counts on the
display will not be reset and the gate will close as expected after the programmed
number of open days.
Checking with a Service Reset:
If the AutoGate is closed when visited then it is recommended to do a full technician
test. In this case scroll down to the
position and carry out the technician test.
This will reset the #Days and #Rodents counts on the display to zero.
Signal Strength Test
When finding a good position to place the bait box and AutoGate it is possible to
run a signal test where the signal strength is shown every 2.5 seconds on the
display.
Scroll to the
position until the two dots are displayed (shown blow). Press the
button and the AutoGate will start Signal Strength test mode. Press the button again
to return to the technician test. Note: This mode will timeout after 2 minutes.
In signal strength test mode, a value between “r0” and “r9” will be displayed.
AutoGates should not be deployed when the signal strength shows “r0” and
installing another Control Panel would be advised.

Changing the Battery
Alkaline batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local, national or
state regulations, or recycled where such facilities exist. It is recommended that
battery packs are replaced every 12 months, irrespective of use, to ensure that
they are fit for purpose. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the
AutoGate and disposed of as above.
1)
Remove the battery cover
by pushing the clip
2)
Remove the old battery
and recycle.
3)
Push the button to ensure
that any remaining charge
on the board is discharged
before plugging the new
battery into the board.

Connect Status
The messages that are sent to the server are:
Technician Test Pass: When the AutoGate passes through the technician test and displays
the ON indicator.
Technician test Fail: If any of the tests fail when the AutoGate is tested
Technician Visit: If the AutoGate is visited and the button is pressed in any of the first 3
selections but the Technician test is not carried out.
AutoGate Closed: This is the initial state of the AutoGate and indicates that this gate has
not been opened since it was last visited.
AutoGate Open: If a particular gate sees the programmed number of activations then the
gate will open and report this status
AutoGate Remotely Opened: If another AutoGate in the same zone has detected activity
then the server will send a command to the gate to remotely open and this status will be
reported.
AutoGate Re-Closed: After the programmed open time (default 5 days) the gate will close
and report this status.
AutoGate Re-Opened: If another activation is detected then the gate will open
immediately and report this status. Note: other gates in the zone are not opened in this
case.
iR Sensors Blocked: If there is an issue with the internal sensors then this error status will
be sent back.
Other data that is sent back from the AutoGates is: Battery Voltage, Signal Strength,
number of activations since reset and active count (i.e. not timed out).

Troubleshooting
Issue
Nothing on the display when the
button is pressed
Possible Solution
Insufficient battery voltage - replace the
battery pack
External LED does not flash when
the gate is opened
The default is for the LED to not flash in the
case of opened gates. This can be
configured by "adjusting the parameters"
Autogate displays E1 during
technician test
The iR sensors on the bait side have not
been activated. Ensure that these are
clean and not blocked and then re-check.
Autogate displays E2 during
technician test
The iR sensors on the entry side have not
been activated. Ensure that these are
clean and not blocked and then re-check.
Autogate displays E3 during
technician test
None of the iR sensors were activated
during techincan testing. Ensure that these
are clean and not blocked and then recheck
Autogate displays E4 during
technician test
The door did not activate the high and low
position sensors. Ensure that the gate is not
jammed.
r displayed prior to technician test
No LongReach radio beacons were found.
Ensure that the Control Panel is running and
that the network symbol is displayed. The
Autogate could be out of range, move the
Autogate nearer to the Control Panel to
test that it can connect. An additional
Control Panel could be required.
r- diplayed prior to technician test
Beacon detected but no join response has
been received from the Control Panel. If
this persists for a few minutes then unplug
the battery, push the button (to discharge
the capacitor) and replug the battery. If
this persists another cause could be that
there are more than 300 devices
connected to the control panel already.
