PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This PestWest Mantis Uplight is made using the highest quality materials. The
bodywork is sprayed with conformal polyester powdercoated finish over a zintex
(rust-resistant) steel frame.
UNPACKING YOUR SYSTEM
Each Uplight Max 36 is carefully inspected and packed before leaving our
factory. Before discarding the outer carton, examine for obvious evidence of
transport damage. Remove the system and pay particular attention to the
removal of all packing materials including any transit packing. Including the
release paper off the glue board.
MODE OF OPERATION
The PestWest Mantis Uplight fly trap operates on the principal that most
flying insects are attracted to light, particularly to the ultraviolet (UV)
end of the light spectrum.
Since insects are still very active and will fly at night, traps should be
left operating continuously, i.e.: 24 hours a day.
FINDING THE BEST PLACEMENT FOR YOUR MANTIS UPLIGHT MAX36
System efficacy can be affected by the intensity of other light sources
(overhead lighting and daylight). Place or mount the system where competition
from other light sources is minimal.
In food areas, place or mount close to, but not directly over, exposed food or
preparation surfaces. Observe where flies tend to congregate and/or fly and
then place or mount your system close to that area.
Place or mount the system(s) adjacent to fly ingress point(s), such as service
and/or overhead doors and windows.
COVERAGE
Areas of attraction of flies/coverage are given in the instructions for each
system. Keep in mind that the brighter the surrounding indoor light and
daylight, the greater the
number of systems needed for optimum fly attraction.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the attractive appearance of the systems, they should be
cleaned/wiped down as often as required. Use a cloth dampened with water and
detergent or a proprietary cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or abrasives.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The PestWest Uplight MAX36 has 2 keyhole slots on the rear panel for wall
mounting. Screws and plastic plugs are included. The system also includes a 6
foot power cord with an IEC C14 connector at one end and a 3-pin grounded USA
plug on the other end. The system will operate from a 110-240 volt 60Hz
supply.
If the moulded-on plug is removed from the supplied cord, dispose of safely.
Ensure that once installed, the power cord is adequately secured. Before
installing any system, please remove all packaging.
Using the system as a template, mark off 2 drill holes onto the mounting
surface. Using the screws and plastic plugs provided, hold the system in place
at horizontally. Note: If the wall is of drywall/sheet-rock, appropriate
hardware must be used to ensure the system is be secure.
Once installed, you will need to remove backing paper from the glue board to
reveal the glued surface. Then slot the glue into the system.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment -grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a licensed
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
Figure 1 – Grounding Methods
This appliance is for use on a 110-240V circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch A Figure 1. A temporary adaptor,
which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle a shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a licensed electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal
screw.
USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GLUE BOARD REPLACEMENT
Due to insect contamination the glue boards should be changed when full or at
least every eight weeks. PestWest Mantis fluorescent insect light trap range
all use the same size of board.
Always use PestWest glue boards to ensure peak efficacy. Remove the backing
paper from the new board in a single swift motion; otherwise it will tend to
remain firmly attached. Should this occur, re-apply the peeled back section
and repeat.
Other brands of glue boards may not have effective UV inhibitors that PestWest
brand incorporates in this system, therefore, ONLY PestWest brand glue boards
and components must be installed in the system.
PestWest recommends an eight-week glue board replacement cycle. Your system
may capture a wide range of insect pests. Mantis Uplight Max36 – This system
must be used with PestWest glue boards. Simply remove the used glue board from
the machine by pulling out of the Uplight cover. Fold the replacement glue
board slightly along its perforated line to improve insertion into the system
and remove the backing paper. Insert the new glue board edges under the guides
with the sticky side facing the lamps.
UV LAMP REPLACEMENT
Lamps are most attractive to the target flying insects when less than one year
old. This is because the UV light emitted by the lamps at a wavelength of
350-375 nanometers
diminishes with use. Light of this wavelength is invisible to the human eye.
The blue/ violet colored light, which we can see is not at all representative
of the actual UV light
emissions. Daily switching on and off of the lamps results in an even faster
loss of the effective UV emission.
THEREFORE IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE TO LEAVE THE SYSTEMS SWITCHED ON CONTINUOUSLY
AND TO CHANGE THE LAMPS AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR (PREFERABLY AT THE ONSET OF
INCREASED FLIGHT ACTIVITY AFTER THE WINTER).
PestWest offer both standard and shatter-resistant (coated) lamps. The
shatterproof lamp is intended for use in glass exclusion zones. The coating on
lamps supplied with our systems is of the highest quality available, using a
material that is both UV and operating temperature tolerant while allowing
high emissions of the critical (365nm) wavelength of light. Replace with
PestWest Quantum lamps.
Mantis Uplight Max36 – Grasp the lamp and pull the end upwards and out of
the retaining clip. Then pull the lamp to the left and out of the lamp holder.
Installing the new lamp is a reversal of the above procedure.
