PRECAUTIONS
All PestWest® traps are fully insulated Class I appliances, nevertheless, sensible precautions should be
observed:
• Switch off the machine before changing the UV-A tubes or cleaning.
• To maintain the attractive appearance of the units, wipe down and clean as often
as required. Use a cloth dampened with water and detergent or a proprietary
cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or abrasives.
• Do not install where dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or dusts are
likely to occur.
• Ensure the unit is properly earthed.
• Avoid working on the machines whilst they are still connected to the mains.
• Ensure that operators have an adequate and secure working platform, when
working on the machines.
• Do not allow the sticky board to become over-filled with dead insects. Change
at regular intervals as required by the catch or at least every 6-8 weeks. Ensure
PestWest® flyDetect® yellow sticky boards are fitted as replacement.
• The unit is designed for indoor use only and is not waterproof.
• Not suitable for use in barns, stables or similar locations.
• Maintenance may be carried out by people with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction.
• The appliance is to be kept out of the reach of children.
UNPACKING YOUR flyDetect® TRAP
Each trap is carefully inspected and packed before leaving our factory. Before discarding the outer carton,
examine for obvious evidence of transport damage. Remove the trap and pay particular attention to the
removal of all packing materials before installing the trap.
HARDWARE OVERVIEW
All PestWest® fly control traps are made using the highest quality materials. The bodywork of the flyDetect®
trap is made from polyester powder coated zintec steel (rust-resistant).
The trap is fitted with Quantum® BL tubes with FEP shatter resistant coating as standard to EN61549. These
tubes are powered by a state-of-the-art high frequency electronic ballast that is more energy efficient than
traditional magnetic ballasts, as well as being entirely automatic no separate starters are required.
The trap retains a flyDetect® yellow sticky board specifically designed to enable the detection of insects as
they are caught. See the diagram overleaf for a full overview of the flyDetect® hardware.

Always install PestWest® flyDetect® yellow sticky boards to ensure peak efficiency and performance of
the detection system. This sticky board has been developed in conjunction with the flyDetect® trap to
provide the most accurate results possible. Using any other sticky board will have a negative impact on the
detection system and cause inaccurate results.
