F.
Use products synergistically.
Two or more different kinds of devices (the
Bird-X Laser
plus a sound repeller
and/or a physical barrier like spikes needle strips or sticky repellent gel) will produce a synergistic effect – i.e.,
in combination, the products will yield much greater effectiveness than the
Bird-X Laser
alone. Contact
Bird-
X, Inc. at (312) 226-2473 (BAN BIRD)
for information on "companion" products.
G.
Consider alternate locations.
Make educated guesses as to where the birds will go when they are repelled
from their current infestation area. It may be very easy for birds to relocate to the other side of a warehouse,
or to an adjacent loading dock. Units should be purchased to cover these alternate areas as well.

Note the legal and public relations environment.

BIRD-X LASER BIRD REPELLER
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF UNIT AND HOW IT WORKS
LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Energy is amplified to extremely
high intensity by an atomic process called stimulated emission. The term "radiation" is often misinterpreted
because the term is also used to describe radioactive materials or ionizing radiation. The use of the word in this
context, however, refers to an energy transfer using visible or invisible light.
Lasers are a well-established method of deterring birds, most notably the use of handheld lasers on airfields to
prevent devastating loss of time, equipment and lives from bird strikes. The
Bird-X Laser
development expands
this proven technology and fills the need identified by our many years of customer input and experience with bird
problems at municipal, industrial and commercial buildings: a unit that works constantly, eliminating the labor-
intensity of hand held lasers, and exponentially increasing the potential uses.
Bird-X Laser Bird Repeller
uses Class 3R “fat beam” laser diodes featuring strong 50 - 100 milliwatt (mW) beams in
two colors: green and red, combined in a multicolor pattern. These colors are shown to be the most effective
against pest birds. The beams create multiple patterns occurring in random order. Diode laser technology was
developed quite early in the history of lasers, becoming widely available in the early 1980s. Diode laser is ideal for
bird repelling because of many of its advantages – small size, lower power consumption and low cost. For safe
operation, read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below,
and observe all warnings printed in this manual and on the unit.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Bird-X Laser
can be operated with 110v, 220v or 240 v power supply. It comes with a four-foot power cord, 2 keys,
remote control, ground spike and an instruction manual. Unpack carefully and be sure that no damage has
occurred during shipping. If anything is missing or appears to be damaged please contact us.
Power Connection: This unit has been designed to function on a main power supply of either 120V, 220V or 240 v
and has been supplied with either a 120V, 220V or 240 v power plug (depending on your order), for use with your
local voltage.
Plug attachment: Firmly attach the plug (supplied separately) to the unit’s power cord by
screwing it onto the screw-threaded attachment at the end of the cord – see diagram.
When attaching the plug for the first time, make sure the 2 pin plug is the right way round.
Match ‘flat’ and ‘keyway’ for proper contact. Check before tightening, as the fit only works in
one direction. ** Use only the plug and power adapter supplied with the unit.
Check the label and verify the power plug for the correct voltage. Ensure you are using a grounded circuit. Ensure
your source voltage matches the required voltage for your
Bird-X Laser
before plugging it in; incorrect voltage
selection will detrimentally affect the unit’s operation. When connected to the mains power supply power LED
will be on and the laser will begin to warm up and then function. For remote control use including timer, see
below.
