FoalGuard Foaling Alarm

Budget Breed Detailed Information

Monitor your mare from the comfort of your home.
Non invasive to your mare.

The FoalGuard Alarm lets you know when your mare lays down in the foaling position so you can be there if assistance is needed.

When your mare lays down in the foaling position a signal is sent, after a short delay, from the foaling alarm transmitter (fitted to the halter) to the foaling alarm receiver (positioned in the home), activating an audible alarm.

This foaling alarm can also be used as a colic alert or for any animal that can wear a halter and lays down to give birth.

FoalGuard foaling alarms are equipped with a 10 second delay to help prevent the alarm from being triggered when the mare rolls or scratches.

The Budget Breed foaling alarm once activated must be reset by the user by switching the power switch off and then back on again. The Budget Breed model does not have the feature of the Sleeptight model which has a live indication of what your mare is doing.

Good transmission range

300m clear line of site. Built in tuned aerial.

*As with any wireless product they work to optimal distance only when there are no obstructions or interference, the more obstructions the shorter the distance the signal can travel.

Please contact us if you need help to determining if you require the Budget Breed or Sleeptight foaling alarm systems..

The FoalGuard Budget Breed Base station (receiver)

The base station comes standard with Power on/off switch
(with small led light to indicate power on/off)

The Foaling alarm receiver (Base station) runs from a 12v power adapter which plugs directly into your mains power or can be run from a 12v battery (battery lead extra)

When the Base station receives a signal from the transmitter it will sound a 90 decibel alarm to alert you that the mare has laid down.

Transmitter and pouch

The FoalGuard transmitter fits easily and securely with Velcro to any standard halter, mini to full size. Please only use standard halters as the transmitters will not sit correctly on rope halters or halters with sliding jaw straps and this may cause false alarms.

The Transmitter, including the pouch only weighs 170 grams . Pouches come in Royal Blue, Navy Blue or Funky Purple ripstop nylon.
They are also machine washable. Please advise us of your colour choice.

If you have more than one mare to monitor, you can use as many transmitters as you like.

Additional transmitters can be ordered on request

Battery power and transmission distance

The biggest cause of failures in foaling alarms is low battery power. The lower the battery power the less distance the signal can travel.
If a foaling alarm's battery becomes too low it may not have enough strength to transmit the signal to the base station (receiver).

Some foaling alarms run on very low power and the batteries will last for a greater time, but by doing this they sacrifice the transmission distance they can work.

If you relate a foaling alarm to a TV remote control. Under normal use a TV remote is only used for a few seconds and the battery will last for months.
But if you held the TV remote on, it would only last for a few hours
The same applies to a foaling alarm, the more a mare lays down to sleep, the faster the battery will drain.

Every mare is different and some lay down to sleep much more than others.
To avoid battery failure use a good quality alkaline battery or better and check your battery often, using a multimeter or battery testing device available
at most electronic stores. Never use a rechargeable battery as the useful life will be far less than a good quality non rechargeable battery.

I check my batteries once every 2 to 3 days on some mares it will last for weeks on others I get 6 to 7 days.

Warranty and repairs

12 month repair warranty on parts and labour (warranty excludes transmitter pouch)
We understand that in the event of any failure, your mare will not wait for a foaling alarm to be repaired or replaced before she has her foal
We will do our best to service any warranty or repair as fast as possible.
