WHAT YOU NEED

SOLD SEPARATELY

Let’s get started!

Just follow the step-by-step instructions and remember —we’re always here to answer any questions.

HOW IT WORKS
LIV uses a Smart Hub to power a series of on-demand repellers installed throughout your outdoor space. When turned on, each repeller continually releases repellent to provide complete area protection from mosquitoes and other flying insects, when and where you need it.
With the LIV+ app, you can control your system from anywhere, set schedules and timers, and more.

Identify areas you use the most and want to feel protection from mosquitoes. e.g., perimeter around an entire patio, or important areas like the grill, seating area, playground, etc.
The repellers should be placed near those areas, within 10 feet of the zones you want to protect, and for continuous protection, up to 20 feet apart from each other.

MAP IT OUT
Feeling inspired? Use the grid below to map your installation. Consider outlet location, repeller placement and mounting
preference, and cable pathways.
Note: Repellers provide 360 degrees of protection; for best results, place a repeller within 10 feet of the areas most commonly used, like patio chairs, grills, tables, walkways, etc. For continuous area protection, space repellers 20 feet apart.

MOUNT THE HUB
The Smart Hub should be located near an outdoor outlet in an area with strong Wi-Fi signals. Check the Wi-Fi signal on your phone before installing any components. Once the adequate signal is confirmed, prepare to mount the hub to a wall, post, or stake no more than 6 feet from the power outlet and at least 30 inches off the ground to avoid exposure to water and snow. Use the template provided to drill the 2 mounting screws and hang the
hub in place. Note: If mounting onto brick or another masonry, concrete anchors and an appropriate drill bit will be required.

LAY IT ALL OUT
Lay each repeller according to your plan outlined in Step 1. Lay the cables between repellers to ensure you have enough cable length to route around any obstacles.

MOUNT THE REPELLERS
Depending on your installation and selected hardware, follow the appropriate step below to attach repeller.

• Use the Standard Mount to install directly to a firm surface.
  Hold the mount in place and mark the hole locations. Pre-drill at least two holes and attach the mount with standard deck screws*. Pass the cable through the cutouts and install the repeller onto the mount by squeezing the quick- connect tabs.

• Use a Ground Stake on soft ground like grass or mulch.
  To install, press the stake into the ground until it is flush or just above ground level. Twist on the standard mount. Pass the cable through the cutouts, and attach the repeller by squeezing the quick-connect tabs.

• Use a Hardscape Base on stone, paver, decking, or other hard surfaces where drilling is not desired.
  To install, thread the standard mount to the base until secure. Pass the leads from the repeller through the center of the base and install the repeller by squeezing the quick-connect tabs. Route the pigtail connectors on the underside of the base so they sit in the cutouts.

CONNECT THE CABLES

First, connect a cable to the smart hub. Remove the cap from the ends of cable leads on the first repeller. Connect the corresponding end of the first cable to the repeller. Connect each subsequent repeller in the same fashion. Leave the cap plug on the remaining cable pigtail of the final repeller in the chain.
Note: The connectors should be threaded finger tight — do not over- tighten.

Do not bend or attempt to stuff excess cable into the repeller base.

TEST YOUR SYSTEM

Plug in the hub and check the underside: the Status LED should be blinking blue if connected to power. Press the center power button and make sure the ring around the button illuminates. Check each repeller to confirm the lights begin to flash in a chasing pattern. Within 5 minutes, the lights should change to solid blue.
Turn off the system by pressing the power button. Continue with final installation of cables.

SECURE THE CABLES

Finish your installation by routing and securing your cables to prevent damage, avoid tripping hazards, and provide a professionally installed appearance.
Common installation methods include:

• Burial
  Use a shovel/edging tool to create a 1-2 inch deep trench, lay the cable, and cover with dirt.

• Run Above Ground
  Tuck the cable along the edges of decking or pathways; or secure it with landscape staples or cable hooks.

• Cover with Mulch
  Cover the cable with at least 2 inches of mulch.

INSERT THE REPELLENT CARTRIDGES

• Remove the hood from the repeller by twisting it 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
• Open a repellent cartridge by twisting the blue top counter-clockwise. Do not touch the wick.
• Align the tabs on the cartridge with the tabs on the repeller. Slide the cartridge up into place until you feel it click. Replace the repeller hood.

Note: The repeller has a set screw at the bottom of the repeller hood which can be used to lock the hood to the repeller and prevent unintended access to a cartridge. Use a 1.5mm allen wrench to back out the screw just enough to lock in place.
