Available accessories (not included):
Bonnet switch for immediate discharge, article: 1001
Optionally, the new safety bonnet switch for immediate discharge (article 1001) can be purchased as an accessory.
By using it, the device is not only switched off automatically when the bonnet is opened. At the same time, the
charging capacitor is immediately discharged through the ignition switch; the high voltage is cleared at a stroke.
However, the same can be achieved by actively pulling apart the compact plug-and-socket connection.
Earth mat, article 1003, extends non-conductive floor covering, for example, as an earth surface.
Extension kit, article M4500-K-kit – 4 additional contact pads for large engine compartments
Proper use:
To scare martens and other wildlife from the engine compartments of vehicles using electric shocks, pulsating light and
aggressive, pulsating ultrasonic frequencies.
Disposal:
If the devices have to be disposed of, then they should not be placed with domestic refuse. They must be handed into to
collection points for televisions, computers, etc. (please ask your local authority or town council for the location of these
electronic disposal points).
Ultrasonic sound extends like light; there are “shadows” cast behind obstacles (no ultrasonic sound). The loudspeaker in the
device should therefore radiate towards the areas at risk of being bitten. The ultrasonic sound reaches all points that are
visible from the loudspeaker dome in the engine compartment.
Fitting instructions:
During assembly, please take the fuse of the device from the fuse holder. The base device is installed at a point in the car where it
is not too hot (please don’t install it directly adjacent to the exhaust manifold or other hot area). The positive cable with the fitted
fuse holder is connected to
“+ 12 V”.
The earth cable is connected to the vehicle earth or
“- 12 V”.
Optionally, you can purchase a bonnet switch (no. 1001) as an accessory. This
“short-circuit switch” immediately discharges the
high-voltage pads when the bonnet is opened (for maintenance work). However, you can also take the mini blade-type fuse out of
the fuse holder by hand and then wait approx. 1 minute until the high voltage has dissipated in order to then carry out maintenance
work with the marten scarer switched off. Or you can disconnect the compact plug connection. The marten scarer is then
immediately switched off and the high-voltage pads are voltage free. For this reason, please fit the device so that the plug
connection and fuse holder can be reached easily.
The high-voltage cable is laid in the engine compartment so that the contact pads can be fitted at the points of risk of being bitten.
The high-voltage cable should not be run directly past very hot engine parts (e.g. exhaust manifold) (the cable insulation may melt).
The high-voltage pads can be fitted at any point on the high voltage cable, as shown in the drawing.
The high-voltage cable of the marten scarer is easily identifiable as the longest cable by far (approx. 4 m). The contact pads are
fixed in the engine compartment of the car using the 4 drilled holes in the plastic lower section (using screws or cable ties). The
cross-shaped stainless-steel pads are attached to the plastic holders.
The contact pads are fastened to the plastic holder using two screws. By turning the screw, the high-voltage cable is
“tapped” and
the contact is created. The plastic holders can be moved on the high-voltage cable and can be fixed at any point.
