Operating Instructions

P7831 Bird Repeller

Congratulations on your purchase of the P7831

Bird Repeller.

Please read these instructions fully before use.

The Bird Repeller provides a convenient, effective and humane way to deter unwelcome birds and animals from your property.

The P7831 features two types of audio repellants.

Predator sound mode produces the sounds of hawks and falcons which helps to repel birds.

Ultrasound mode produces an ultrasound that can be very unpleasant to animals but inaudible to human ears. You can test both modes to determine which works best for your pest control problems.

WARNING m Unit can be heavy with batteries installed. Mount unit properly or injury may occur.

m When mounting use proper hardware. Do not over tighten. Breakage may occur.

m Do not pierce any plumbing or electrical equipment when you mount the unit. Damage or injury may occur.

m Be sure battery compartment door is securely closed.

Do not open battery compartment if the unit is wet.

Otherwise water may enter and damage the unit. Injury may occur.

m Do not place your ear directly to the sound source.

Sound can be very loud and may cause discomfort or injury.

m Only use quality alkaline or lithium batteries in unit.

Other battery types may leak or explode causing injury.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

m Dispose of exhausted batteries properly. m When not using the unit for an extended period, remove the batteries. Stored batteries may leak and cause damage or injury.

FRONT

1. Buzzer for Ultrasound Mode

Buzzer produces an ultrasound that can be very unpleasant to animals.

2. Loudspeaker for Predator Sound Mode

Powerful weatherproof speaker produces sounds of hawks and falcons when activated.

3. Passive Infrared Motion Detector (PIR)

The PIR feature a range of approximately

26 feet at an angle of 110 degree.

Control Legend (see diagram):

Remove thumbscrew on rear of unit to access battery/control compartment.

1. Battery compartment: Insert 3X “D” cell alkaline or lithium batteries. Be sure to follow the polarity diagram and insert the batteries correctly. Do not mix old and new batteries.

2. SENS: Adjust the sensitivity of the PIR motion detector.

Typically leave it set at maximum (fully clockwise). To reduce the coverage area rotates the control counterclockwise.

3. VOLUME: Adjust the volume of the loudspeaker signal.

Adjust to a maximum of sound volume (fully clockwise) to increase effectiveness.

4. LED: To check the Ultrasound mode. Switch the selection switch to “ ULTRA” position and press the “TEST” button – the LED will light up.

5. Selection Switch: Three position switch

SOUND – to activate the predator sound mode

OFF – to turn off the device.

ULTRA – to activate ultrasound mode

6. TEST: Test button to check the ultrasound mode (see 4.

LED above).

Use:

Remove thumbscrew on rear of unit to access battery/control compartment.

Insert 3X D cell batteries. Insure correct polarity by following the diagram. Use only new high-quality alkaline or lithium cells.

Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.

Dispose of exhausted batteries properly.

Predator Sound Operation:

Switch the selection switch to “Sound” position.

Adjust the output volume by volume control knob.

Adjust the sensitivity of PIR sensor by PIR knob.

To test, wave your hand in front of the PIR lens to activate the unit.

Ultrasound Operation:

Switch the selection switch to “ULTRA” position.

Adjust the sensitivity of PIR sensor by PIR knob.

Press the test button, test LED will light up and ultrasound will start

BATTERY/CONTROL COMPARTMENT

Re-install battery door and secure with thumbscrew. Insure the battery door is fully seated around the entire panel.

Insure thumbscrew is tight to insure weather resistance. Do not over tighten.

Mounting (see diagram):

A. Use the included screws or other hardware to mount the base plate to a suitable mounting surface.

You can attach the plate to a fencepost, structure, tree, etc.

Be certain not to pierce any plumbing or electrical equipment when you mount the base plate.

Mount the base plate with the screw holes vertical. The Bird

Repeller unit is designed to mount to the base plate vertically. We do not recommend mounting the unit horizontally. The sensor will not work properly.

Choose your mounting location carefully. The base plate allows you to adjust the angle of the Bird Repeller up or down. We suggest mounting the unit high enough that it is out of the reach of children. You can adjust the angle of the base plate down to protect the intended area.

B. Attach unit to base plate by sliding mounting clip into matching slot on rear of unit. Then slide unit down on the clip until it is fully engaged. Be sure clip is fully inserted in slot.

C. Rotate unit up and down to reach desired mounting angle. Base plate does not rotate from left to right, only up and down. PIR motion sensor has a wide angle of detection.

Typically side to side adjustment is not necessary.

Aim the Passive Infra-red motion detector (PIR) lens towards the protected area. The PIR features a range of approximately 26 feet at an angle of 110° (see diagram). If possible, aim the sensor at an area with fewer branches and/or vines. Branches moved by strong breezes may trigger the motion detector circuit. This is normal but should be minimized to extend battery life.

The Loudspeaker has a longer range than the PIR. Once the signal is activated, the protected area will be larger than the PIR range.

MOUNTING THE BIRD REPELLER (SIDE)

Advice:

When possible, mount the unit under cover. While the unit is weather resistant, shield it from direct sunlight and rain when possible.

If possible, aim the PIR motion sensor at an area with fewer branches and/or vines. Branches moved by strong breezes may trigger the motion detector circuit. This is normal but should be minimized to extend battery life.
