PRACTICAL TIPS CONTINUED
•
If it is decided to relocate the unit then this should not be too frequent – ideally no
more frequently than fortnightly. Having said that every location may be slightly
different, as are the reactions of different species on hearing their distress call, so it is
worth taking some time to observe how the system works best under your own
circumstances.
Variable Volume
•
The system incorporates a “variable volume” feature – during broadcast the volume will
automatically vary between the maximum set level, and approximately 20 metres from
the unit.
•
This is to provide the perception of predator movement, to aid to the overall confusion
and concern of the target specie, to improve dispersal performance.
•
This feature also ensures that no matter where the target bird may be within the overall
coverage area during the time of broadcast, at some point the broadcast sound level
will certainly sound as if it is at a natural level.
•
This function can be disabled so the unit will continually broadcast at the maximum set
level (please refer to page 14)
Independent Speaker Channel broadcast
•
The system incorporates three independent speaker channels.
•
The broadcast is made out of each channel in turn, independently, and on a randomised
basis.
•
As with the variable volume, this is to provide the perception of predator movement, to
aid to the overall confusion and concern of the target specie, to improve dispersal
performance.
•
This feature works in conjunction with the variable volume.
Habitat Management
•
Whilst the unique efficiency of SCARECROW bio-acoustic products is long established
SCARECROW GROUP LIMITED stress that they can only work effectively as part of an
overall and planned programme of bird control.
•
This will include total hygiene management and where applicable the use of operatives
who have been professionally trained.
•
Without limitation, SCARECROW GROUP LIMITED will not accept liability for any
consequences as a result of poor equipment maintenance, misuse, inappropriate use,
lack of operative training, failure of due diligence or through lack of prior project
consultation.
