Assembly
No Tools Required
-
set the detection mode too. Open the battery cover (located under the sensor housing), then snap the battery case onto the battery clip connector (Fig. 1).battery cover (located under the sensor housing), then snap the battery case onto the battery clip connector (Fig. 1).medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
warning! Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
warning! Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause an explosion. -
Run a dry test by turning the detection mode to and waving your hand in front of the sensor lens. You should clearly hear the internal water valve click open, then click closed 3 seconds later. If this does not work, try a new battery. The sprinkler resets 8 seconds after the valve closes if the sensor does not detect any further motion.
-
Follow (Fig. 2) to assemble your pest deterrent sprinkler. These fittings should only be hand-tightened. No tools are required.
-
Connect your standard garden hose to the hose-end connector, or use a quick-connect hose with the provided quick connector instead (Fig. 3). Then aim the sensor lens towards the area you wish to protect.
-
Drive the step spike into soft terrains such as soil, gravel, or sand by putting your body weight onto the foot pedal.
FRAGILE! Do not push down on the sensor housing or sprinkler head. If the ground is too hard or unsuitable for the ABS plastic step spike, try placing the sprinkler in a flower pot filled with a weighted material like sand or gravel.
Daisy-Chaining
If you have more than one pest deterrent sprinkler you can daisy-chain them up
in series by removing the flow-through cap and connecting them together with a
hose (Fig. 4).
Sticker Sheet (optional)
As an extra deterrent, apply the optional predator stickers onto the sensor
housing (Fig. 5).
Operation
Detection Modes
To avoid getting wet, you can calibrate your desired detection mode without
turning on the water as long as you can hear the activation click from 33 ft.
(10 m) away.
- Set the desired detection mode using the Detection + sprinkler mode dial (Fig. 6) based on the chart below.
- The pest deterrent sprinkler has a field of view of 120º. Position the motion sensor lens based on your desired coverage area (Fig. 7).
Sprinkler Modes
To use your pest deterrent sprinkler as a regular sprinkler you can set
10/20/30 minute auto-spray timers, after which it will stop (Fig. 6).
Activation Modes
The pest deterrent sprinkler has 4 activation modes
NOTE: The pest deterrent sprinkler automatically reduces it’s sensitivity after 5 minutes in order to preserve battery life. To minimize false triggers, avoid pointing it toward moving objects, windy areas or very large areas.
Water Coverage
NOTE: Turn the water on and test from behind unless you want to get wet!
After setting up and positioning your pest deterrent sprinkler you may wish to
adjust the rotation, distance, and arc of the sprinkler.
-
Position the trip lever towards the area you wish to protect. Turn the friction collars on either side of the trip lever to control the sprinkler’s angle of rotation, between
0º – 300º (Fig. 9). -
Flip the trip lever up out of the way of the friction collars to achieve full 360º rotation (Fig. 10).
-
To increase the sprinkler’s spray distance, raise the deflector shield and turn the distance control knob clockwise simultaneously. To decrease spray distance, lower the deflector shield and turn the distance control knob counter-clockwise simultaneously (Fig. 11).
-
To vary the spray pattern, turn the diffuser screw clockwise to adjust the spray from narrow jet to wide mist and vice versa (Fig. 11).
NOTE: The spray distance will depend heavily on your water pressure. Do not exceed this product’s maximum rated pressure of 100 PSI.
Watering Tips
Water only when necessary, preferably in the morning to minimize water loss
through evaporation.
CAUTION! Poor placement or malfunctioning sprinklers carry a risk of causing water damage to your property. Mitigate risks by limiting the amount of water available to the product (open valve 3/4), using good quality hoses, and ensuring there is adequate drainage in the area. Install a pressure-reducing valve on your tap if your water pressure exceeds 100 PSI. Partially opening your tap does NOT change the water pressure.
Maintenance
Since water expands when it freezes, completely drain water from your sprinkler and hose to avoid damage if the temperature falls below 32º F (0º C).
CAUTION! Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
CAUTION! Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
