The TM550 is a passive infrared trail monitor that detects the combination of body heat-and-motion in the area it is monitoring. The area of sensitivity forms a wedge radiating outward in front of the monitor. This wedge is 65-ft. (20 m.) deep and spreads 150° wide. Any warm-blooded animal that moves within this wedge will register as an event. The TM550 will store one event per "event period" as long as the animal is moving within the area of sensitivity. By reviewing the event times, you will know how long an animal is present in the area.

The new "Event delay" feature on the TM550 allows the user to select the duration of an event period. With older passive infrared units the event delay was factory set to 1.0 minutes. With a 1.0 minute event delay, only one event could be recorded per minute. The new adjustable Event delay on the TM550 allows the user to adjust event periods from 0.1 (6.0 seconds) minutes to 2.0 minutes in 0.1 minute increments. With the Event delay set to 0.1 minutes the TM550 can record as many as 10 events in a single minute. This gives you the ability to adjust the operation of the TM550 to meet your specific trail monitoring needs.

TM550 passive infrared monitor can store over 1000 events by date and time in non-volatile memory. The TM550 can store one event per event period. The TM550 is very easy to use. Three push buttons on the front of the monitor are used to control its many functions. The TIME SET button is used to set the initial time and date functions in the same way a digital watch is set. The SET UP button is used to verify the area in which body heat-and-movement is being sensed. Proper function is indicated by a blinking red light when the unit is in the SET UP mode. The READ OUT ADVance (R/O ADV) button is used when reading out the data. Subsequent depressions on the R/O ADVance button will cause the date and time of each record event to be displayed in the large digital display. All TrailMaster monitors are weatherproof and tested to work from -40°F/-40°C to 130°F/55°C. The TM550 has an extended battery field-time of over one year. It is the most compact infrared trail monitor available. The TM550 is a passive infrared monitor; therefore, the range and sensitivity are not as well defined as its active infrared counterparts, the TM1000 and the TM1500. Although it is not possible to be game selective with passive infrared trail monitors, the TM550 is the most versatile passive infrared monitor on the market and is a dependable way to monitor the entire 65 foot (20 m..) area.
