OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

Indicator light
Loudspeaker
Fixing lugs
Plus (+) connection cable, red 5 Minus (-) connection cable, black

PREPARATION
Clean the engine compartment thoroughly or use the primer spray for removing marten scent marks, item number: 16265 before installing the ultrasound marten repellent device. We also recommend cleaning the underside of the vehicle and the site on which it stands.

CAUTION
Before starting with the installation of the ultrasound marten repellent device, read the instructions in the manual of your vehicle regarding disconnecting the battery. Disconnecting the battery may result in information in the on-board computer and radio settings being lost.

ASSEMBLY
Install the ultrasound marten repellent device in such a way that the sound is able to spread freely, similar to the light cone of a torch. Select a position that is as high up as possible in the engine compartment to pre-vent the risk of influence from dirt and water. Ensure a good distance is left between the device and heat sources such as the exhaust, catalytic converter and rotating parts. Make sure that the fuse in the connec-ting cable is easily accessible. In very tight engine compartments, it may be necessary to install multiple martin repellent devices since the ultrasound can be shielded considerably by obstacles.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
First check whether terminal 15, the switched plus from the ignition switch is switched to the earth terminal 31 when the ignition is swit-ched off. If this is the case, choose the „Automatic“ connection method: If this is not the case, you may connect the device using the method „with changeover relay“ or „continuous operation“ (not permitted for StVZO areas (German road traffic regulations). Disconnect the battery.

CONNECTION TYPE: AUTOMATIC
Connect the plus cable (red cable with fuse) (Position 4 in the overview) to the permanent plus, terminal 30. Connect the minus cable (black cable with eyelet) (Position 5 in the overview) to the switched plus of the ignition switch, terminal 15. The device is switched off when the ignition is started.

CONNECTION TYPE: WITH CHANGEOVER RELAY
For this connection method, you will need an additional 12 V car changeover relay (not included in the scope of delivery). Connect the connections of the relay and the ultrasound marten repellent device as follows:

30 permanent plus
85 to earth, terminal 31
86 to the switched plus from the ignition switch, terminal 15
87 is not needed
87a to the red cable of the ultrasound device Black cable of the ultrasound device to earth, terminal 31

The device is now switched off when the ignition is started.
CONNECTION TYPE: PERMANENT OPERATION (NOT PERMITTED FOR STVZO AREAS)
Connect the plus cable (red cable with fuse) (Position 4 in the overview) to the permanent plus, terminal 30. Connect the minus cable (black cable with eyelet) (Position 5 in the overview) to the earth, terminal 31. The device will now operate permanently, thus also during travel. Connect the battery again and check the firm seating of the pole clamps. Make sure that the installation of the ultrasound marten repellent device does not influence any other functions of the vehicle. During operation, the indicator light lights up at intervals.

Ultrasound cannot be perceived by humans. Use the indicator light as a guide when checking the function.

CAUTION
When the vehicle stands for a long time, the battery may discharge.

REPLACING A DEFECTIVE FUSE
Unscrew the housing of the fuse holder in the plus cable. Replace the defective fuse with a new, fuse of the same type F 200 mA 250V. Screw the fuse holder back together again. CONRAD-16274-Ultrasonic-Marten-Repellent-Device-
