User manual

Use as directed:
To chase away martens and other wild animals from the
engine compartment of vehicles and buildings, by means of electric
shock and aggressive and pulsating ultrasonic frequencies.
Assembly instructions:
Please take the fuse of the device out of the fuse holder during
assembly. The basic instrument has to be mounted at a dry spot in the
car where it will not get too hot (not directly near to the exhaust
manifold or other especially hot places) and from where the ultrasonic
sounds may spread well in the engine compartment. The positive cable
with built-in fuse holder has to be connected to "+ 12 V". The earth
cable is to be connected with the vehicle earth or "- 12 V". The cable
towards “terminal 15” should be connected to “terminal 15” of the
electrical system. This terminal can usually either be found at the
ignition lock or at the Euro plug of the car radio. If the cable "terminal
15" is properly connected, the marten defence is only switched on if the
motor is not running (the car is being parked). If you cannot find
“terminal 15”, please choose another contact at the ignition lock which
is switched off when the car is being parked, and is switched to
„positive“ when the motor is running. At some cars it can be also the
cigarette lighter. The connection of the cable to “terminal 15” ensures
that the marten defence is only switched on when the car is being
parked (there is no risk that the marten will get into the car when the
car is running).
Installation into buildings:
In order for the marten to get an electric shock, he has to touch one of
the high-voltage plates and “earth” at the same time. In the car the
connection to earth is everywhere (chassis, motor, etc.). Therefore, in
buildings it is necessary to affix our earth mat Z115 (not enclosed) at
the entry hole and to connect the cable of the earth mat with the
marten defence at “earth” (negative-battery). Then the self-adhesive
earth mat and the high-voltage plates have to be fixed at the entry hole
in such a manner that the marten touches the metallized earth mat with
the paws and one of the high-voltage plates with the mouth. The
marten then gets an electric shock.
Note:
If you do not connect the cable at the module "to terminal 15" at
all, the marten defence is switched on constantly.
Ultrasonic sounds spread as light, there are „shadows“ behind obstacles
(no ultrasonic sounds). That’s why the loudspeaker in the device should
radiate to the spots which are at risk of being bitten (within the cone of
radiation of approx. 150 degrees).
The high-voltage cable has to be laid in the engine compartment in such
a manner that the contact plates can be mounted at spots which are at
risk of being bitten. The high-voltage cable should not directly run along
very hot parts of the motor (e.g. exhaust manifold) (the cable insulation
might melt).
The high-voltage plates are either fixed with a screw in the engine
compartment of the car or with binders at the cable harnesses or tubes
of the car.
The high-voltage contact plates are fastened in the motor room with a
sheet metal screw. The screw head must not get in contact with the
high-voltage metal surface on the plates.
Important:
The high-voltage contact plates have to be mounted in
such a manner that the bare contact plates are > 10 mm away from
other alive contacts in the car. Furthermore, the bare contact surface of
the contact plates should neither touch any other parts of the car (risk
of short circuits). Explanation: Plastics (e.g. tubes) consisting of an
electrically conductive plastic are often used in cars for shielding
reasons. These plastics would then short-circuit the high-voltage of the
contact plates against earth. When fixing the small contact plates with a
metal screw, please make sure that the screw head does not touch the
high-voltage metallic surface on the contact plates (risk of short circuit).
It is also important that the contact plates will not get wet. A water film
between the vehicle earth and contact plates will also cause a short-
circuit.
Please stick the enclosed yellow warning sticker “Warning! High-
Voltage!” in a well visible place close to the high-voltage plates (e.g. on
the air filter).
Setting into operation:
The fuse that was removed from the fuse holder before assembly is
mounted again. If everything has been properly connected and the
vehicle is in parking position, the high-voltage at the contact plates
builds up and the small light-emitting diode at the module starts flashing
(approx. every 5 - 12 sec.). When setting into operation for the first
time, it may take up to 5 minutes until the LED starts flashing after
switching on.

Check list for trouble shooting:
1) Measuring again: is the operating voltage 12 V (DC voltage,
car battery) between the connections + 12 V and earth (- 12 V)?
2) Measuring again: isn’t there either any voltage against earth or is
there a connection to earth (negative) at the cable to “terminal 15”? The
device will not work if there is a positive voltage (measured against
vehicle earth) at the cable to “terminal 15”.
3) If the LED still does not flash after 5 minutes although the operating
voltage is fed and the cable towards terminal 15 does not receive any
positive (+) signal, there may be a short-circuit at the high-voltage
plates. One or several plates come into contact with the metal surface
with vehicle „earth“ and the high-voltage discharges (short-circuit). This
may also happen if there is a water film between the metal surface on
the high-voltage plates and the vehicle chassis.
4) The contact plates must be mounted freely and may not have any
connection with other parts of the vehicle (risk of short circuits).
Warning concerning maintenance work:
After disconnecting the device, the high-voltage may still be present at
the contact plates for max. 3 min. The built-in charging capacitor needs
this time to discharge. Before carrying out any maintenance work,
please wait for this time after disconnecting (remove the fuse).
If you don’t want to wait, you may induce a short circuit after
disconnecting through a short term cable coupling (approx. 1 - 3 sec.)
between one of the high-voltage plates and the vehicle earth which
discharges the high-voltage charging capacitor immediately and makes
the plates voltage-free.
The high-voltage is not dangerous to men (merely a very weak current
flows). If, however, one is very jumpy or particularly at risk of going into
shock, there is a certain risk.
General information:
Before installing the marten defence, please clean the engine
compartment of your vehicle as well as the paving where you park your
car regularly (e.g. carport) thoroughly. Martens mark their territory with
scent marks and may get very aggressive if they smell scent marks from
another marten in their territory.
Our marten defences with high-voltage contact plates and aggressive
ultrasonic sounds are very effective for beating back martens.
Nevertheless, we do not guarantee that the martens will actually be
chased away in 100% of all cases!

Cable for terminal 15: If this cable is connected with
“positive“ , the
marten defence disconnects. The marten defence switches on if it is
connected with
“negative” or does not receive any signal.
Important information:
All devices are tested thoroughly during and at the end of production.
Please repeat this test before installation: Connect the earth cable with
the negative pole of the car battery and the positive cable with the built-
in fuse with the positive pole of the car battery. The „terminal 15-cable“
is not connected. The high-voltage plates should lie on an insulated base
(cardboard, wood). After 5 minutes at the latest the light-emitting diode
mounted in the module should flash shortly at an interval of 5 - 12
seconds. Then the marten defence is all right and can be installed.
Attention! After disconnection the high-voltage plates may still be
charged up to max. 3 minutes. Please discharge first before installation
(see operating instructions under „maintenance work“). When testing
please see to it that the high-voltage plates will not be touched! If the
device does not work despite a positive test before installation, this is
clearly due to an installation error (see assembly instructions).
Our guarantee on this device is according to law. We do not assume any
costs for assembly and disassembly.
Disposal:
This device may not be disposed of with the household
waste. It has to be delivered to collecting points where television sets,
computers, etc. are collected and disposed of (please ask your local
authority or municipal authorities for these collecting points for
electronic waste).
