Instruction Manual
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
www.pestwest.com
The Mantis 1x2IP is a professional grade flying insect management system,
which has been designed for installation in designated hazardous environments
of wet and dust. This system is tested for compliance to the highest
standards applicable within this grade of product – EN60529:1992 IP66.
However, the zoning classification for IP66 environments requires proper
interpretation and each installation must be judged on its merits.
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE SERVICING. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN
THE LID OF THE SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THIS
SYSTEM. REMOVAL OF ANY PART INSIDE THIS SYSTEM WILL VOID BOTH THE IP66 RATING
AND PESTWEST WARRANTY. THIS SYSTEM MUST BE FACTORY SERVICED ONLY.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PestWest Mantis systems are made using the highest quality materials. The
frame of the Mantis 1x2IP is made of 304 brushed stainless steel. A 316 marine
grade stainless steel guard protects the ultraviolet lamps against damage and
also prevents operators from accidental contact with the glue board. The
Mantis 1x2IP is IP66 rated to the EN 60529-1992 standard for dust and water
ingress protection.
UNPACKING YOUR SYSTEM
Each Mantis 1x2IP 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 before installation, pay particular attention to the
removal of all packing materials.
OPERATION
Insect Light Trap (ILT) systems operate on the principle that most flying
insects are attracted to light, particularly to the ultraviolet (UV) end of
the light spectrum. Since insects will fly at night, systems should operate
24 hours a day.
System efficacy can be affected by the intensity of other light sources
(daylight and overhead lighting). For good results, mount the system where
competition from other light sources is minimal. For best results, install
all your systems using the PestWest UV-AMETER.
- In food areas, mount the system adjacent to, but not directly over, exposed food or food preparation surfaces (attract flies away from food preparation areas). Always refer to the current local, State and Federal Food Codes.
- Observe where flies tend to aggregate and install your system adjacent to that area.
- Mount systems adjacent to fly ingress points (service/overhead doors, and windows).
- Do not position the system over lock-out, tag-out areas.
- Mount the system above head-level and clear of any traffic, such as forklift trucks.
The system is manufactured with an 8-foot power cord and operates from a 120V
60Hz electrical supply. The power cord is hard-wired for electrical safety.
When installing in a wet or dust area, the power cord MUST be terminated by a
connector designed specifically for that environment. Furthermore, it is the
recommendation of PestWest that this system be installed by a licensed
electrician qualified for these environments.
INSTALLATION
The system is designed to be wall mounted and a bracket is supplied. Using the wall bracket as a template, mark off the positions on the mounting surface. Screws and plastic plugs are provided to mount the bracket in place, making sure that the mounting lip of the bracket is highest in place. Hook the 1x2IP system securely onto the bracket. Secure the power cord to the wall or other firm surface prior to connecting to the power supply. Remove the backing paper from the glue board to reveal the adhesive surface.
PRECAUTIONS: All PestWest systems are fully insulated, Class I appliances. Observe the following precautions:
- Do not submerge the system in water.
- Do not install where dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or dusts are likely to occur.
- Ensure the system is properly grounded.
- Be certain to have a secure working platform while servicing the system.
- Do not allow the glue board to become over-filled with dead insects.
- The Mantis 1x2IP, when permanently mounted, may be used both indoors and outdoors (if under a covered area and installed by a licensed electrician).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE SERVICING.
To maintain the attractive appearance of the system wipe down and clean as
often as required. Use a cloth dampened with water and detergent or a
proprietary cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or abrasives.
Change the glue board at regular intervals, as required by insect captures, or
at least every 8 weeks.
It is recommended to lubricate all moving parts such as the catch-tray spring-
loaded retainer on an annual basis, particularly in harsh environments.
If Mantis 1x2IP systems are placed within a food or pharmaceutical plant, a
pharmaceutical-grade lubricant may be required.
The UVA lamps in flying insect management systems should be changed once per
year. Lamps that are less than one year old are most attractive to targeted
flying insects. UVA is highly attractive to photo-positive insects and is
emitted from our Quantum leadfree, shatter-resistant lamps already installed
in this system.
UVA light is invisible to the human eye.
Daily switching on and off of the lamps results in an even faster loss of the
effective UVA emission. Use the PestWest UV-AMETER to measure lamp efficacy.
Adding PestWest Indian Meal moth pheromone monitors to the glue board further
enhances the capture experience.
IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE TO LEAVE THE SYSTEM ON CONTINUOUSLY AND TO CHANGE THE
QUANTUM LAMPS AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR (PREFERABLY POST- WINTER ONSET OF
INCREASED INSECT ACTIVITY).
PestWest’s exclusive FEP shatter-resistant lamp coating is the highest quality
available. FEP is both UVA and operating temperature tolerant while allowing
maximum UVA emission at critical wavelengths.
CHANGING THE GLUE BOARD
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE SERVICING. DUE TO INSECT
CONTAMINATION THE GLUE BOARD SHOULD BE CHANGED WHEN FULL OR AT LEAST EVERY
EIGHT WEEKS.
Remove the catch tray by pulling out and holding the spring-loaded silver knob
on the side of the tray. Remove the old glue board by pulling down and out of
the system.
Remove the backing paper from the new board and slide into position, sticky
side facing the UV lamps, ensure it clicks into place under the retainers at
the top of the system. Replace catch tray. 
Note that given the environment that this system is designed to go in to, may require more frequent glue board changes than in a less dusty environment.
| REPLACEMENT PARTS | DESCRIPTION / PRODUCT CODE |

CHANGING THE LAMPS
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE SERVICING.
Remove the catch tray by pulling out and holding the spring-loaded silver knob
on the side of the tray.
Open the guard; this pivots downwards from its lower edge. Unclip the top of
the guard from the body by pushing it upwards which will allow it to be hinged
forward on the lower pivot points. This will permit access to the lamps and
starters. Grasp the lamp with one hand and unscrew the white waterproof cap
counterclockwise with the other hand until it slides free from the lamp
holder. Repeat this operation with the waterproof cap at the other end of the
lamp.
Care should be taken when removing each waterproof cap to ensure that its rear
black rubber water-sealing ring does not become displaced and remains on the
lamp holder body. Should this occur, it must be removed and refitted into the
annular ring on the back of the waterproof cap before the cap is screwed back
onto the lamp holder.
With the waterproof caps removed the lamp may now be removed from the system.
Repeat the operation with the other lamp.
PestWest’s Mantis 1x2IP system is manufactured with the revolutionary reusable
Reflectobakt” sleeves, a PestWest innovation introduced to improve the
performance of the system. The Reflectobakt” sleeve is a screen positioned
between the source of the UV light and the glue board, reducing the amount of
UV striking the board, (significantly increasing the life of the adhesive).
Unclip the Reflectoba Id” sleeves from the used lamps and install them onto
the new lamps following the instructions described under — INSTALLING THE REF
LECTOBAKT” SLEEVE.
Position the waterproof caps on the new lamps, with Reflectobakt” sleeves,
refit into the lamp holders by pushing the lamps into place. Refit each
waterproof cap in turn while holding the lamp down in position with one hand
to avoid it springing out of place while the caps are being tightened. The
caps should be fully screwed down to ensure a watertight seal with the lamp.
Be sure the Reflectobakt sleeves are correctly placed (shielding the glue
board from the lamps). Ensure a Reflectobakt sleeve is centered on each lamp.
INSTALLING THE REFLECTOBAKT® SLEEVE
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE SERVICING.
Take the lamp and line up the two leading edges of the Reflectobakt” sleeve
with the pairs of pins at either end of the lamp – see Fig 1. Ensure that the
sleeve is centered on the lamp so that the small gap between the end of the
sleeve and the metal end of the lamp is the same at both ends. Carefully push
the sleeve so it is in contact along the length of the lamp surface. It should
grip and stay in position. Re-fit the lamp into the lamp holder, the sleeve
should be positioned at the back of the lamp, ( between the lamp and the
glue board ), keeping the light off the glue board. At all times, handle the
shield with care. The edges may be sharp and the dimensions are critical to
proper fit upon the lamp.

STARTER REPLACEMENT
(replace annually)
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE SERVICING.
The starters should be replaced every time lamps are changed. This operation
is most easily accomplished when the upper lamp is removed. To gain access to
the starters the white waterproof caps located on the lower surface of the
frame tray need to be removed. If they have previously been tightened using
tools, the use of a pair of electricians’ pliers will enable this task to be
more easily accomplished.
To access the caps, first remove the catch tray and drop the front guard down
(follow the procedure described under CHANGING THE LAMPS). Unscrew one cap by
turning it counterclockwise. Remove the starter from its housing by turning it
counterclockwise, then extracting it downwards. Repeat the same operation with
the other starter. Install the new starters following the above procedure in
reverse order. Be certain the black sealing gasket ring located on the starter
cap is properly in place to ensure a watertight frt.
