How PestFree works
Motion sensor detects movement in the protected area up to a distance of 10m away.
The ultrasonic alarm does not harm the pests in anyway and also cannot be heard by humans. The deterrent only causes the animal a slight amount of distress and encourages them to leave the area. The device triggers a 10-second ultrasonic burst, which will repeat until the animals leave the protected area. Once the animal has left the area, the pest-free unit stops emitting and returns to its standby mode.
The red light behind the lens indicates that the pest-free unit has been triggered.
Install a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery – when pest-free is powered with a new battery or functioning adaptor, when turned on it will beep 4 times and the red LED will flash behind the lens.
Please note – costing only a few pence a month to run, adding a mains adaptor kit for powering either a fox – watch, cat – watch and pest free ultrasonic animal deterrent increases the power and mains by 20% also comes with a 32 feet lead.
Installation
- Remove the battery door
- Install a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery (not included)
- Close the battery door
- Turn the PestFree on with the switch on the front of the unit. Push and HOLD button approx ½ second until LED comes on. If the unit beeps 4 times and flashes – the battery is good. If the LED flashes continually – the battery is very low. If nothing happens the battery is totally flat.
- To turn the unit OFF – a quick push of the button and the LED will not trigger
- If using the optional adaptor, simply attach the adaptor lead to the clip in the battery compartment.
- Mounting Stake steps – attach the pest-free unit to the mounting stake. Push the stake into the ground. The lens should be approx. 15-20cms above the ground.
Note that this unit is a 'general' pest deterrent. We also supply more specific deterrents, such as the Fox-Watch fox deterrent which will not affect cats, for example. Whilst the Pest-Free will start protecting your garden from day one, it may take up to 2-weeks for all pest animals to 'learn' to stay away.
