BIRD BLazer LASER BIRD REPELLER
A.
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 BLazer
development expands this proven technology and fills the need identified by our 44 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 BLazer Laser Bird Repeller
is a Class 3R diode “fat beam” laser featuring strong 10
milliwatt (mW) green beams -- green is shown to be the most effective against pest birds. The
beams create 45 different 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 BLazer
can be operated off of 110v or 220v. It comes with a six-foot power cord, 2 keys,
remote control, mounting hardware (consisting of hanging bracket, 2 clamp levers and 2 washers)
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 mains power supply of either
120V or 220V and has been fitted with either a 120V or 220V power plug (depending on your
order), for use with your local voltage. Check the label and verify the voltage selector
switch and the power plug for the correct voltage. Ensure you are using a grounded
circuit. Ensure your source voltage matches the required voltage for your BLazer
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.
Installation/Mounting: Mount the
BLazer
right side up SO IT IS LEVEL HORIZONTALLY (do
not mount to a vertical or diagonal surface). Mount it properly using the mounting bracket
supplied. Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not block any ventilation slots. If desired, block
unwanted beams (the beams that would normally point
down
, for example), by adjusting the
thumbscrews on the metal “door” covers on the front aperture.
Remote Control & On-Unit Control:
The remote has a range of approximately 90 feet.
