Proper placement of the device will enhance its effectiveness, range
and safety.
Outdoors:
The Diplomat is recommended for areas up to two acres. Place the
unit about 25 feet away from areas intended for human activity, be-
tween the source of insects and the area to be protected. Hang the
unit approximately seven feet above the ground.
The Diplomat is designed for outdoor use and will not be damaged
by rain or moisture. If, during heavy rains, excessive arcing occurs
and is objectionable, simply disconnect the unit.

For best results, place the device adjacent to entrances, exits and in
heavily infested areas. Place away from direct or reflected sunlight.
When installing units in halls, passageways or aisles, maintain a
clear width for continuous passage of minimum 36”. (Reference:
American Disabilities Act).
Height:
Install the unit approximately six feet above the floor or
higher in locations where temperatures are significantly cooler at
the lower heights.
Spacing:
Space evenly throughout the facility. Distances between
units should be about 45 feet, (2,000 sq. ft. coverage).

Your new Diplomat insect killer combines 120 watts of black light en-
ergy with an exclusive glo-tube reflector, resulting in a powerful in-
sect killing device that is ecologically safe, effective and economical
to use. Light sensitive flying insect pests are attracted to the unit and
are immediately eliminated as they pass through the electrically
charged inner killing grid system. Dead insects drop into the remov-
able insect collection tray for fast, easy, sanitary disposal.
Included with your Diplomat insect killer is a special slow-release
strip containing Flowtron’s Fly Sex Lure, a proven attractant for the
common house fly (musca domestica L.). This pheromone sex lure
serves to enhance the Diplomat’s effectiveness in eliminating house
flies, making it a capable, dedicated fly control device.
WARNING:
Skin or eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the lamps
in this device. Always disconnect power before re-lamping or servicing.
