BirdXPeller PRO bird repeller - Description |
|
Important, safety-related information:
|
A |
Do not install the device during rain or snow conditions. |
|
B |
Installation shall be made in such a way that a power supply and
the internal part of the control unit never be subjected to
water or snow. |
|
|
|
|
1. |
Point the unit toward the bird infestation. Expect a maximum
coverage area of approximately 4000 m2. Set the unit
on a flat surface or mount it to a wooden post using the
mounting bracket and screws (included).
|
|
2. |
Plug one end of the AC adapter into the POWER
jack (located on the back of the unit). Plug the adapter into
any standard electrical outlet. An optional battery cable may be
used to connect the control unit to a 12-volt battery. If this
is done, first connect the black battery clip to the negative
terminal on the battery and then connect the red battery clip to
the positive terminal. Both the connection to the electrical
outlet (or battery) and the connection of the power cable inside
the control unit must be protected from dripping or splashing
water. Do not set an object filled with liquids on the control
unit.
|
|
3. |
Set the DIP switches located on the front metal faceplate of the
unit to the desired settings. See the section „Programming
your BirdXPeller PRO” for specific programming
information.
|
|
4. |
Turn the volume switch to LOW (minimum).
|
|
5. |
Turn the power switch (located in the upper right hand corner of
the faceplate) to INT/EXT.SPKR (ON postition).
(Note: The unit may take a couple of seconds before starting).
|
|
6. |
Adjust the volume to the desired level.
|
|
7. |
After turning the unit OFF, be certain to wait AT LEAST
60 SECONDS before turning it back on.
|
|
8. |
Close the cover and latch shut. Ensure that the cover is
properly latched closed and do not open the cover during rain or
other conditions that would expose the inside of the control
unit to water.
|
Programming your BirdXPeller
To program your unit you will need a small screwdriver,
toothpick, or other pointed, rigid object to move the switches
in the switch array. The switch arrays are the switch banks
located in the bottomright-hand corner on the faceplate. A
switch position is ON if the switch is moved to the right-hand
side. The switch is OFF if the switch is moved to the left-hand
side.
Bird recording setting switches
The Bird Recording switches are the first eight switches
(RECORDING 1-8) in Switch Array#1. Each switch has a recording
number to the left of it that corresponds with the bird
descriptions listed on the foil label inside the cover on the
front of the unit, theí are as follows:
|
1. |
Pigeon I. |
|
2. |
Pigeon II. / Bird Predator I. |
|
3. |
Starling / Pigeon III. |
|
4. |
Sparrow |
|
5. |
Gull I. |
|
6. |
Gull II. |
|
7. |
Bird Predator II. |
|
8. |
Bird Predator III. |
For
best results, choose a combination of both predator calls AND
bird distress recordings to create the most natural scenario.
Mode setting switches
The Mode Setting Switches are the last five switches in Switch
Array. These set the various modes of operation: such as he
amount of time between playing bird distress calls, when the
unit will operate (day only, night only, or 24-hours), and
whether the unit will operate in the random mode or normal mode.

Delay switches
The two „Delay” or Time-Off switches are located
just below the Recording Switches (1-8) in the Switch Array. The
unit will delay a number of seconds or minutes between recorded
sounds when the unit is set to one of the various Time-Off
Modes. The TEST setting is
appropriate for testing, but is NOT recommended for long-term
success. Please not that the unit will play all
of the selected recordings (either sequentially or
non-sequentially, depending on the Random Mode), than it will go
into a delay. The time the unit stays off depends on the
Time-Off and the Random Mode Settings. If the unit is operating
in Random Mode, the unit will delay anywhere from the minimum
value to the maximum value for that Time-Off setting. If the
unit is not in Random Mode, it will delay only the minimum
value.
To set the Time-Off period (or delay interval) use the following
settings on switches 1 and 2 in the Mode Function Settings.

Time of operation switches
The two Time of Operation switches are located just under the
Time-Off Switches in the Switch Array. The unit will operate day
only, night only, or continuously (24-hours). However, the
photocell that senses the sunlight is suspectible to bright
lights. Take care not to have bright lights shining toward the
front of the unit since this can prevent the unit from operating
properly. To set the time period for the unit to operate set
switches 3 and 4 in the Mode Function settings to the following:
|
Switch 3 |
Switch 4 |
Mode |
|
ON |
OFF |
Day Only |
|

24-Hour |
|

Night Only |
|
OFF |

Random operation switch
The Random Operation Switch is the bottom switch
in the Switch Array. The unit will randomly play the selected
recordings in non-sequential order when operating in Random
Mode. When the unit is not operating in the Random Mode, the
unit will play the selected recordings in a sequential order.
The Random Mode is recommended to keep birds from adapting to a
preset pattern of sounds. To operate the unit in Random Mode,
set switch 5 as follows:
|
Switch 5 |
Mode |
|
ON |
Random mode ON |
|
OFF |
Random mode OFF |

Volume control:
The unit has a volume control dial on the front panel of the
unit. Turning the dial toward LOW will reduce
sound output and rotating the dial toward HIGH
will increase sound output.
Caution: Take care when turning the dial since the unit
may be in an inactive state when the dial is rotated. It could
then reactivate at a very high level of sound which could be
painful to your ears.
POWER switch
The power switch enables the unit to operate. Slide the switch
to the INT/EXT. SPKR (ON) position to start the
unit. This will operate the unit, and generate sound out of the
unit AND out of an optional extension speaker at the same time.
If you wish to operate ONLY a remote extension speaker
(optional), then move the switch to the EXT. SPKR ONLY
position.
If you turn the unit OFF, be sure to leave it off for about 60
seconds before turning it back on to allow the electronics to
properly reset. To fully disconnect the unit, unplug the power
adapter from electrical outlet or disconnect the battery cable
from the 12-volt battery.
