Turning the Yard Sentinel™ on and o:
The Yard Sentinel™ does not have an on/o switch.
To turn it o, unplug it or remove the batteries. To
turn it on, plug it in or insert batteries.
When the unit is plugged in or batteries are
installed, it will trigger a red sensor light within 20 seconds. The light will stay on for
about 20 seconds, after which the device
will be ready to operate.
SETTINGS:
You can customize your device’s settings for
best results in your particular situation. The
ultrasonic setting control switch is located on
the top left of your control panel. Remove the
back cover to access it.
Motion Sensor: The Motion Sensor will
activate the ultrasonic and sonic sounds
when it detects pests within its range.
Constant: This setting will cause the device to emit a frequency at random intervals of not
more than 40 seconds on AC. The pause in between helps ensure the pest does not become
accustomed to the sound. You control the frequency emitted using the Frequency dial. This is
a good setting to use if you only want to repel one type of animal and if the animal sometimes
goes out of range of the motion sensor. (Battery saver: On battery power, the device will
activate for shorter durations at intervals of up to ve minutes to preserve battery life.)
Continuous Sweep: This setting emits cycles of random frequency (approximately from
15kHz to 20kHz) with a break of not more than 40 seconds. This is the ideal setting if you
want to repel two or more dierent types of pests. (Battery saver: On battery power, the
device will activate for shorter durations at intervals of up to ve minutes.)
Frequency Dial:
Various pests have dierent ranges of ultrasonic hearing. Sometimes you will need to
experiment to nd the range that best repels the pest you want to control. However,
the Frequency dial illustrates a range of frequencies and the pests they are eective at
repelling as a guide.
Sensitivity Dial:
The “Sensor Sensitivity” dial controls the detection range of the device’s Infrared Motion
Sensor. You can adjust the range from near to far (5 to 45ft / 1.5 to 14 m). The ideal range
will vary under dierent environments. Try setting it to maximum and reducing it if you
nd the device activates when there is no motion in the area.
Mounting to a Wall:
Two screws and fasteners are included with this unit for mounting on walls. Drill the
screws into a suitable wall or upright surface. Align the notches on the back cover with
