Balcony Gard - Ultrasonic bird repeller - Description |
Adjustable frequency, weatherproof, built-in motion sensor.
Dual-operation: can be operated from batteries and/or from an AC
adapter.
1. Unit set-up
Gently pull off the back cover. Set the operation switch (upper
right) to OFF. For best results, change the frequncy regularly by
turning the frequency dial. (No setting is better than another; the
variety will ensure ongoing success.)
On the operation switch, choose „MS AC or Battery” for the unit to
operate briefly each time the motion sensor is tripped.
Turn „Sensitivity” dial to adjust motion sensor sensitivity.
In case of batteries: install four „C” batteries as
shown on the unit. Snap the cover back into place.
In case of AC adapter: on the operation switch, choose
„CONT.AC ONLY” for the unit to operate continuously (works with an AC
adapter only). Plug one end of the adapter into the port underneath the
operation switch and the other into any standard outlet. (If using
outside, protect the outlet from weather.) Run the cord through the
notch on the bottom of the unit. Snap the cover back into place.
Protected area: max. 85 m2 (in a generally
oval pattern)
The speaker projects sound on a horizontal plane in one direction. The
lower the sound frequency (clockwise), the greatest coverage. In dense
foliage and/or large acreage, multiple units may be necessary.
2. Installation
Use the keyhole slots on the back to mount it on any building, wall or
wooden post with nails or screws. Point the speaker at the area you want
covered. If installing outdoors, place the unit at least 90 cms above
the ground for optimum range.
3. Specifications:
 |
Power supply: 4 x 1.5V „C” batteries or AC adapter
When using an AC adapter, the unit will automatically switch to battery (if
batteries are in) during a power failure.
|
|
|
Ultrasonic frequency: 15-25 kHz (adjustable)
|
|
|
Effective range: 85 m2
|
|
|
Output sound pressure: 90 dB (1 meter)
|
4. Troubleshooting (if the unit doesn’t
work)
|
A |
Check that the power switch of the unit is not OFF (in other
words, either CONT AC Only or MS AC or Battery). If using batteries, check that
they are good. If using the Continuous AC only power setting, check that the
outlet is good. If using the MS AC or Battery setting, only expect activation if
there is motion.
|
|
B |
Read the Bird Management Program below. Remove unusual
incentives.
|
|
C |
Check the dial settings and ensure you have selected an
appropriate range.
|
|
D |
If a specific dial setting causes a squeaking or scratching
sound, rotate the dail slightly until the sound stops.
|
5. Precautions
Even though the top range of the Balcony Gard, 25kHz, is above human
hearing range (which averages, at top level, about16 kHz), the intensity
is great enough to present a chance of damage to the ear if it is
directly exposed for an extended period of time at a distance of less
than 3 meters. These units should definitely not be located at or near a
place where someone will be located for a long time. Normally, this type
of unit is located outside pointing away from a house or structure, and
thus presents no problem when located in this manner.
We suggest that when you are sitting or working within range of the
unit, you turn it off, as human presence will normally deter pest birds.
As with any electrical device, do not place the unit in or near water
and do not mount it while standing in or surrounded by water.
Do not aim the product into neighboring yards or public areas, or at
caged or leashed animals.
It is intended for use on your own property only. Some people with good
high frequency hearing will be able to hear the unit at its lower
frequencies. If this occurs, select a higher frequency.
6. Useful informations
Why control birds?
|
|
Droppings are unsightly, unhealthy, and potentially fatal.
|
|
|
Droppings cost money and time. „Cleaning up” represents time and
money.
|
|
|
Birds are destructive and deface property.
|
Bird management program
|
A |
Survey the birds and their entry, exit, nesting and feeding
habits.
|
|
B |
Inspect your property. Discover what pests find attractive about
your area, and if the same conditions prevail in neighboring properties.
|
|
C |
Remove inducements. Clean the area of all evidence of birds and
the residual scent. Because birds and their droppings can cause many diseases,
use extreme caution when removing them. Do not breathe or come into direct
contact with them. If you have questions about how to do this safely, consult an
expert. Remove food spillage, garbage, material and other appealing items.
|
|
D |
Maintain a clean and changing environment. For maximum
effectiveness, periodically repeat the above written and relocate or reposition
the unit, vary the output, or turn it off for a short time.
|
|
E |
Install early. It is always best to install the Balcony Gard
before „bird season” begins, as it is easier to keep them away than to rout them
out once they have already established a pattern.
|
|
F |
Use products synergistically. Two or more different kinds of
devices (Balcony Gard plus a visual repeller like Bird repeller tape or Terror
Eyes) will produce a synergistic effect – i.e., in combination, the products
will yield much greater effectiveness than the Balcony Gard alone.
|
|
G |
Consider alternate locations. Make educated guesses as to where
the birds will go when they leave their current infestation area, and consider
purchasing units to cover these areas as well. |
