I've been interested to read that people generally seem to find that the Visonic pet tolerant detectors work well. This hasn't been my experience. I have 2 whippets which together weigh comfortably below the recommended mass yet the alarm triggers almost immediately if they are in the room. My professional installers seem baffled by the problem and have basically given up on me. The only solution seems to have been to mask off the entire bottom part of the lens with tape, which seems a pretty crude answer considering the high tech logic that is claimed by Visonic!
The only thing that I can think of is that the whippets have very short coats and so might appear hotter than a normal dog and so give a bigger signal.
Does anyone have knowledge of whether you are supposed to "tune" pet tolerant detectors by masking the beams? Or are they supposed to work "out of the box"?
