source that can be used is a rechargeable 6 volt battery such as a sealed lead
acid which will give extended operation depending on the capacity rating (usually
expressed in amp hours) of the battery used, before it will need to be recharged.
The maximum run time for a fully-charged and new battery can be estimated by
dividing the Amp-Hr rating of the battery by the current consumption of the trap.
See in this manual the section related to the optional Dyna-Fog 6 V DC Sealed
Lead Acid Battery.
Be sure to observe that the batteries are installed and connected with the proper
polarity to assure proper operation and prevent damage to the trap.
As DC current is unidirectional, wire leads are coded: the ribbed wire goes to the
(+) and the smooth wire goes to the (-) polarity. The plastic housing of the
connectors are also coded, side of the tab goes to the (+) polarity.
