The MOUSE-E-MOTION Univrsal Data Logger is especially desi-
gned to be applied with the commonly used type 2 or type 2L
mouse cages. Usage of the data logger and the metal mounting
unit in combination with this cage type will exclude false detec-
tions of movements outside the cage. If you are in doubt with your
special situation, perform a test in place.
For type 2 or type 2L mouse cages the corresponding stainless
steel mounting unit can be used. Press the rubber feet into the
4 pre-drilled holes of the mounting unit. Place the mounting unit
on top of the cage. The lateral straps fit into the gaps of the cage.
Ensure that the side with the screw faces the front side of the
cage. Place the data logger with the motion sensor directed to the
bottom onto the rubber feet of the mounting unit. Pay attention to
the screw of the mounting unit: to ensure proper positioning of the
data logger above the cage, it has to fit exactly into the little notch
on the bottom front side of the data logger.

6. USAGE
Notice that objects placed on top of the cage (e.g. food pellets,
water bottles, etc.) might influence the correct motion detection
and cause false values.
