IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all the instructions before using the appliance

• Disconnect the system from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, when changing lamps, cleaning, and similar actions.
• The Mantis Qualis flying insect system is to be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not insert foreign objects into this system.
• This system is intended for use indoors only and is not waterproof. To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use where it may be exposed to water or direct sunlight, including roofed, but open porches.
• Do not use the Qualis outdoors.
• Do not install where dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or dust are likely to occur.
• Ensure the system is properly grounded.
• To maintain the attractive appearance of the Qualis, 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.
• Do not allow the glue board to become overfilled with dead insects. Change at regular intervals as required by the catch or at least every 6-8 weeks. Ensure PestWest® 21” LED glue boards are used as replacements for optimum performance.
• Ensure the operators have an adequate and secure working platform when working on the system.
• Use extension cord marked SJW-A, SJEW-A, or SJTW-A only
• Use only extension cords that have anchors and receptacles that accept the anchor of the system. Replace or repair damaged cords.
• The electrical rating of the extension cord must be as great as the electrical rating of the system.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• All PestWest flying insect systems are made using the highest quality materials. The Mantis® Qualis is either a conformal polyester powder-coated finish over a Zintec (rust-resistant) chassis or a 304 brushed stainless-steel finish.
• Mantis® Qualis has been installed with next-generation Quantum X LED filament 370nm lamps coated with FEP shatter-resistant coating and a full-size PestWest specialized LED glue board. The new Quantum X LED filament lamp is made with the familiar T5 form (glass tube, end caps, and pins) used in our 14W T5 Quantum fluorescent lamp.
• The unique advantages of Quantum X LED filament lamp technology are the extended pattern of light distribution and improved energy efficiency. Increased fly attraction is due to the LED filament’s 360° light distribution compared to high power Surface Mounted Device (SMD) LEDs with 120° light distribution (found within first-generation LED fly traps). LED filaments are more energy efficient than high-power SMD UVA LEDs and fluorescent lamps.
• Each Quantum X LED lamp consists of 18 LED filaments mounted on a frame. They are hermetically sealed within a glass tube with state-of-the art gas cooling technology which is far superior to traditional metal heat sinks.
• Each LED filament has 24 individual LEDs mounted on a transparent substrate, which enables the Quantum X LED lamp to provide light in all directions. The combination of 360° light distribution and softer intensity of light produced by far more LEDs (432 per lamp) gives the Quantum X superior flying insect capture performance.

UNPACKING YOUR MANTIS® QUALIS
Each Mantis® Qualis is carefully inspected and packed before leaving our factory. Before discarding the outer carton, examine for obvious evidence of transport damage. Remove your Mantis® Qualis carefully. Be sure to check all packing material for parts before installation

MODE OF OPERATION
Electrical flying insect systems operate on the principle that most flying insects are attracted to light, particularly to the ultraviolet (UVA) end of the light spectrum. Since insects are still active and will fly at night, these systems should be left operating 24/7/365.

PLACEMENT

• The efficacy of the Qualis can be affected by the intensity of other light sources (ambient light and daylight). Place the system where competition from other light sources is minimal.
• Within food areas, place the system greater than 10 feet from food preparation surfaces or exposed food. A place to attract flying insects away from sensitive areas. Assess where flies aggregate and place the system in that area. Place the system where flying insects gain access (exterior windows and doors as well as dumpster and compactor areas).
• Place the system where easily reached. Do not place overworking machinery where access may be difficult or dangerous.
• Much more information is available in PestWest’s Flying Insect Manual available at: https://www.pestwest.com/us/trainingmanual-request/

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The Qualis flying insect system is supplied with a removable 6.5ft (2m) input electrical cable which is terminated in a connector to match the local electricity supply. The fly system operates from a 100 – 240V, 50-60Hz electrical supply. To extend the input electrical cable, consult with a licensed electrician.

INSTALLATION
The Mantis® Qualis is designed to be wall-mounted. The system has four keyholes in the back panel for easy wall-mounting.

To reduce ultraviolet light exposure to the eyes and skin, do not mount the Qualis within 3ft of where people work and turn off the system while servicing. Additionally, PestWest recommends the system be mounted 5.9ft (1.8m) above the floor (measured from the lower edge of the system). To obtain a copy of PestWest flying insect systems Best Practices, contact us at [email protected].

• The system can be wall-mounted using the upper two keyhole points only. If the wall is of drywall or stud partition, use all four mounting points with drywall anchors to ensure secure mounting.
• To mount the system onto a wall, open the front cover by lifting it outwards from the bottom. When the cover is opened at approximately 45° it will stay open on its own. Next, open the two board retainer tabs at the bottom of the Qualis by twisting outwards as shown below.
• This will allow the glue board to be removed from the system by pulling the glue board downward.
• Remove the upper LED lamp by gently grasping and rotating the lamp 90° until 2 clicks are heard. The LED lamp may be withdrawn by sliding it out of the lamp holders.
• Fold the board retainer tabs back into their original closed position and close the front cover. Looking at the front of the Qualis, you can see the two upper keyhole mounting points. Use the system back plate as a template. Place a level along the top edge of the system to ensure it is level. Mark the two attachment points onto the mounting surface
• Drill the marked off points to a depth of approximately 1.5” using a 5/16 drill bit. Place the plastic anchors into the wall then screw the screws into the plastic anchors leaving the head of the screw approximately 0.4” from the wall. If the wall is drywall or stud partition, repeat the above procedure with the lower two attachment points.
• The system will hook over the screws because of the keyhole feature. Fully tighten the screws to secure the system to the wall. You may need to adjust the screws slightly so they don’t interfere with inserting the glue board. Re-install the LED Lamp. CAUTION: refer to the “CHANGING THE LED LAMPS” section to ensure the LED lamp is installed correctly. Re-install glue board (opposite procedure to removal). Secure the power cord to the wall or other firm surface prior to connecting to the power supply.

MAINTENANCE

• Always switch the Mantis Qualis off for maintenance. To clean your Qualis, always use a cloth dampened with water and a MILD non-abrasive detergent. Do not use scouring pads or abrasives.
• The Mantis Qualis Quantum X LED lamps should be replaced at least once every 3 years. Record the system installation date on the label.
• The Quantum X LED lamp is made from glass and has a shatter-resistant coating (use in glass exclusion zones). This shatter-resistant coating is the highest quality available. FEP shatter-resistant coating is both UVA and operating temperaturetolerant while allowing high UVA emission.

CHANGING THE GLUE BOARD

• To ensure optimum performance of the Mantis® Qualis, install only PestWest LED 21” glue boards. The specialty LED glue board has been developed in combination with the PestWest Quantum X LED lamp. Using any other glue board will hurt the performance.
• Regular assessments of the glue board are recommended. Switch off the system before servicing. The glue board should be changed when full or at least every 6-8 weeks. Need help with identification? Connect with the PestWest technical team, get assistance at https://www.pestwest.com/us/ask-dr-stuart-mitchell/
• Open the front cover by lifting it outwards from the bottom. When the cover is opened at approximately 45° it will stay open on its own. To remove the glue board, twist the glue board retainer tabs at the bottom of the Qualis outwards. Pull the old glue board downward.
• The glue board has a perforation line about 1.2” from the edge that allows this small section to be folded at a 90° angle. This folded section will help catch any debris falling from the upper part of the glue board. Before removing the backing paper,fold this section, and then remove the backing paper from the glue board.

Figure 4 – Folding the glue board in place

Slide the glue board into position (glue-side facing the UVA LED lamps). Ensure the glue board clicks into place under the spring retainers at the top of the Qualis. Fold the board retainer tabs back into the original closed position (to hold the folded section of the glue board in place) and close the front cover. Switch the system back on.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

• Glue Board: 135-000226 (LED 21” GLUE BOARD – 6/pk)
• LED Lamp: 130-000321 (Quantum X LED 370nm 550mm T5 Shatter-Resistant)
• Use only original PestWest replacement parts!

Switch off the system before servicing. LED lamps are not like fluorescent lamps. Failure to disconnect the system from the electrical supply (while removing or inserting a lamp) may permanently damage the LEDs. This will result in LED lamp irreparable damage and is not covered under the warranty.

CHANGING THE LED LAMPS

• Switch off the Qualis before servicing. Open the front cover by lifting it outwards from the bottom. When the cover is opened at approximately 45° it will stay open on its own. Grasp and rotate each LED lamp 90° until 2 clicks are heard. The LED lamps can be withdrawn by sliding them out of the lamp holders.
• CAUTION : Quantum X LED lamps are powered by Direct Current (DC) at one end only, which is recognized by the silver end cap and printing on the left-hand side (LHS), see Figure 5. The DC input pins (LHS) require installing in the correct polarity, positive (+) and negative (-). The correct polarity is marked with a + & – symbol on the Quantum X LED lamp (LHS printing).
• The corresponding LED lamp pins must be inserted to the corresponding + & – symbols on the metalwork (located on the left side of the Mantis Qualis, next to the lamp holders), see Figure 5.

Replacing LED lamps is the opposite procedure to removal. Close the front cover and switch the system back on

• When inserting LED lamps ensure the silver end cap is inserted into the left-hand-side (LHS) lamp holders, with the + & – symbols correctly aligned.
• The black non-voltage end cap should be inserted into the righthand-side (RHS) lamp holders.
• The LED lamps will not operate in any other configuration.
• The Mantis Qualis will only operate with Quantum X LED 370nm 550mm T5 lamps.

Dispose of LED lamps in accordance with local, state and/or federal regulations. The Quantum X LED range of flying insect management systems are lead-free and mercury-free reducing disposal costs, eliminating cross contamination and potential ground contamination along the waste stream Always follow federal, state and/or local compliance requirements. PestWest USA always encourages recycling of any waste if possible.
