Tri-Tronics Glossary of Terms
Bark Odometer: The counting feature of the Bark Limiter that lets the owner know how many corrections were given since the unit was last turned on.
Contact Points: Two tips that rest against the dog's neck and provide electrical stimulation when a transmitter is pressed.
Continuous: Stimulation that stays on while the transmitter button is pressed, up to a "time out" of about 9 seconds.
Hawk Scream: Sound made by the accessory beeper, the Sport 65 BPR and the Upland Special imitate a hawk scream.
Insulated Contact Points: Tri-Tronics contact points are covered except for the tip. This ensures reliable performance in water and wet conditions. Tri-Tronics holds four patents for insulated contact points.
Intensity: Level of stimulation. Adjusting this level changes the level of discomfort felt by the dog.
Intensity Dial: A rotary dial on the front of the transmitter of Sport Series Remote Trainers that allow you to change the intensity.
Intensity Knob: A rotary knob on the top of the transmitter of Field and Pro Series Remote Trainers that allows you to change the intensity.
Long or Short Changeable Contact Points: These contact points may be removed by unscrewing them and installing a different length so that you can match the contact point length to your dog's coat type.
Momentary: Stimulation that lasts only a brief time, far less than a second, no matter how long the button is pressed . It has an attention getting effect.
Receiver: Radio receiver on the collar strap; this is the part worn by the dog.
Signal Tone: A high pitched no stimulation tone produced by the collar and controlled from the transmitter, intended to be heard by the dog wearing the collar.
Sleep Mode: Battery saving feature of the Bark Limiter. A motion detector in the unit automatically turns it off when neither motion or barking is detected.
Stimulation: Safe electrical stimulation used as a physical correction in the dog's training.
Time Out: A safety feature found on all Tri-Tronics Remote Trainers. Terminates continuous stimulation after 9 seconds no matter how long the button is pressed.
Toggle Switch: Selects among collars on Field and Pro Multi-Dog Systems, and between continuous and momentary stimulation on the Pro 500.
Tracking Tone: Sound made by the Accessory Beeper, the Sport 65 BPR, and the Upland Special beepers which is a motion based irregular beep and imitates a traditional bell worn by a hunting dog.
Transmitter: Hand held radio controller for the Remote Trainer
Tri-Tronics Stimulation and Tone Reference Manual
Continuous Stimulation: The timing of continuous stimulation is controlled by the trainer. Continuous stimulation stays on while the transmitter button is pressed, up to a "time out" of about 9 seconds.
Momentary Stimulation: The duration of the momentary stimulation is pre-set. Momentary stimulation stays on only very briefly, no matter how long the button is pressed. By pressing and releasing the continuous button, a trainer can produce a very quick "nick" of the stimulation, somewhat mimicking the pre-set duration of momentary stimulation. However, corrections given by this method will be many times longer (therefore stronger) than the corrections given when the momentary button is used.
What are the two types of stimulation used for? Some trainers use continuous stimulation at mild levels to introduce the dog to the collar. Because the trainer controls the duration of continuous stimulation, the trainer can teach the dog to "turn off" the stimulation. Momentary at higher levels can later be used to reinforce commands with advanced dogs. Some trainers use momentary stimulation for mild reminders when dogs are not excited. They use continuous stimulation at higher levels to stop an excited dog when he is chasing. Momentary stimulation as a quick attention getting effect, and is preferred by some trainers for virtually all corrections.
Low, Medium, and High Buttons: This popular feature gives the trainer a way to choose intensity among low, medium, and high stimulation, without adjusting an intensity knob. This means that the transmitter can be operated with one hand only. This "never take your eyes off the dog" feature is a great advantage in many training situations.
No-Stimulation Signal Tone Feature: The tone is produced by the collar, and on most Tri-Tronics collars is activated by a transmitter button that is separate from the stimulation button. The meaning of the tone signal is determined by the dog's training. The tone can be conditioned to mean praise, warning, or a particular command. The training materials that come with Tri-Tronics remote trainers describe the use of this feature in more detail.
Tone on Dial: When the intensity selector is on "T" the transmitter buttons will produce the no stimulation signal tone instead of stimulation.
