Operations Manual
•
MistAway’s Drum
-Based Misting Unit, Gen 1.3, is designed to
atomize a dilute botanical insecticide (typically contained in a 55
gallon drum) through an installed nozzle circuit to control
mosquitoes and other annoying insects.
•
The capacity of the unit is dependent on the configuration of the
nozzle circuit. A practical field maximum for one zone is about
90 nozzles (not all in series) connected by 900 feet of tubing.
•
The unit may be programmed to mist up to 24 times daily, with
each mist cycle having its own independent duration. A typical
program will consist of 2 to 3 mist cycles per day, each with a 45
–
60 second duration, for a daily total of 90
–
180 seconds.
•
The unit will also mist in response to a signal from a handheld
remote transmitter for a duration programmed by the user.

Operations Manual
•
Agitating Valve
: Each mist (including remote mists) will be
preceded by an agitation cycle that will ensure thorough mixing
of the drum contents prior to misting. In addition, there is a
capability to program a once-daily agitation that is independent
of any programmed or remote mist. The agitating valve also
eliminates the possibility of a siphon emptying the drum
contents.
•
Leak Detection:
In the event of a leak in the misting nozzle
circuit, this option will shut-off the unit until the leak can be
repaired.
•
Electronic Anti-Siphon Valve
: For units without agitation,
addition of this valve eliminates the possibility of a siphon.
•
Wind Sensor
: Sensor input will inhibit a programmed mist if the
wind speed is higher than a user-defined limit for a 5 minute
period following the scheduled mist.
•
Zone Kit
: Kit will enable the unit to either independently
manage areas with two different application schedules or
effectively double the protected area that the unit would
otherwise support.
•
iMistAway Module:
Allows the unit to be remotely monitored
and controlled via an Internet connection.
