3. Legal Information
3.1. Liability Statement
Magic Breed Plus is intended to aid in the foaling process but
there are limitations to the technology which mean that it
cannot be 100% accurate.
While we have every expectation that the Magic Breed Plus will
work well and be very helpful in the majority of situations,
Electronic & Electrical Solutions can unfortunately take no
responsibility or liability of a negative outcome due to the
failure of the Magic Breed Plus system to detect the foaling
event. The only way to achieve 100% reliability is to have an
awake, alert person physically watching the mare.
3.2. Regulatory Compliance
The Magic Breed Plus system has been designed and tested to
comply with Australian regulations regarding Electromagnetic
Compatibility and radio transmissions. Both the transmitter
and receiver comply with the following Australian/New
Zealand standards:
AS/NZS 4268:2017
AS/NZS CISP32:2015
The RCM mark found on the Magic Breed Plus components is
a confirmation that the equipment meets Australian
regulatory requirements. Always look for this mark when
purchasing new electronic equipment:
4 Magic Breed Plus User Manual
By complying with AS/NZS 4268, the Magic Breed Plus system
is classified as a “Low Interference Potential Device”, or LIPD.
An LIPD device can be operated by any person without
requiring a radiocommunications licence, which is important
for equipment like the Magic Breed Plus which is intended for
operation by unlicensed people.
If you require more information regarding EMC and
radiocommunications legislation please consult the Australian
Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) at
www.acma.gov.au or New Zealand Radio Spectrum
Management (RSM) at www.rsm.govt.nz

4. Principle of Operation
Typically, in the late term of pregnancy, a mare will avoid lying
flat on its side until it enters labour. The Magic Breed Plus
system uses this well documented behaviour.
A transmitter containing a special sensor called an
accelerometer is attached to the mare’s halter. The
accelerometer allows the transmitter to determine the
direction of the ground and therefore it can detect when the
mare has laid on its side.
When the transmitter detects that the mare is in the foaling
position is will begin timing and after a short delay it will alert
the receiver, which will sound an alarm.
Note however that some mares are very active and will even
temporarily lay in the foaling position prior to foaling. This
results in false alarms, so it’s important to be able to easily
and temporarily silence any foaling alarms. The Magic Breed
Plus makes this easy.

5. Getting Started
The Magic Breed Plus system is comprised of two main
components: the receiver (base station) and transmitter. The
transmitter is attached to the mare and sends wireless signals
to the base station for reporting when it has detected that the
mare is foaling.
5.1. Receiver
The receiver is a dark grey unit which has a power supply and
antenna connected at the rear. Up to 8 transmitters can be
used with a single receiver.

5.2. Transmitter
Magic Breed Plus transmitters are battery powered and
contain an accelerometer which enables it to sense the
orientation of the mare’s head. Detecting when the mare is
laying on its side with its head on the ground is how the
transmitter determines if the mare is in a foaling position.

6.1. Receiver Connections
The receiver is powered by USB, either using the supplied USB
plug pack or an alternative USB power source.
The receiver also needs to have the supplied antenna
connected to the screw in connector on the rear.
