5) Turn the power switch (located in the upper right
hand corner of the faceplate) to INT/EXT. SPKR (ON
position). (NOTE: The unit may take a couple of
seconds before starting).
6) Adjust the volume to the desired level.
7)
After turning the unit OFF, be certain to wait AT
LEAST 60 SECONDS before turning it back on.
8) Close the cover and latch shut. Ensure that the
cover is properly latched closed and do not open
the cover during rain or other conditions that would
expose the inside of the control unit to water.
PROGRAMMING YOUR BIRDXPELLER
To program your
BirdXPeller PRO unit you
will need a small screw-
driver, toothpick, or other
pointed, rigid object to
move the switches in the
switch array (see FIG.
1). The switch arrays
are the switch banks
located in the bottom right-hand corner on the
faceplate (inside the clear front cover). A switch
is ON if the switch is moved to the right-hand
side. The switch is OFF if the switch is moved
to the left-hand side.
BIRD RECORDING SETTING SWITCHES
The Bird Recording Switches are the first eight
switches (FIG. 2) in Switch
Array #1. Each switch
has a recording number
to the left of it that cor
-
responds with the bird
descriptions listed on
the foil label inside the
cover on the front the
unit, they are as follows:
MODE SETTING SWITCHES
The Mode Setting Switches are the last five
switches (FIG. 3) in Switch Array #2. These
set the various modes of operation: such as
the amount of time between playing bird dis
-
tress calls, when the unit
will operate (day only,
night only, or 24-hours),
and whether the unit will
operate in the random
mode or normal mode.
Switch Mode or Function
1 Sets the Time-Off Period
2 Sets the Time-Off Period
3 Sets the Time the unit plays
4 Sets the Time the unit plays
5 Turns Random Mode On or Off
DELAY SWITCHES
The two "Delay" or Time
Off Switches are located
just below the Recording
Switches
(1-8) in the switch
array (FIG. 4). The unit will
delay a number of seconds or minutes between
recorded sounds when the unit is set to one of the
various Time-Off Modes. The SHORT setting is
appropriate for testing, but is NOT recommended
for long-term success. Please note that the unit
will play all of the selected recordings (either
sequentially or non-sequentially, depending on the
Random Mode), then it will go into a delay. The
time the unit stays off depends on the Time-Off and
the Random Mode Settings. If the unit is operating
in Random Mode, the unit will delay anywhere from
the minimum value to the maximum value for that
Time-Off setting. If the unit is not in Random Mode,
it will delay only the minimum value.
To set the Time-Off period (or delay interval), use
the following settings on switches
1 and 2 in the
Mode Function Settings.
Switch 1 Switch 2 Time Off Period
ON OFF Short (17-50 sec.)
OFF ON Medium (1-4 min.)
ON ON Long (5-10 min.)
OFF OFF X Long (10-30 min.)
TIME OF OPERATION SWITCHES
The two Time of Operation switches are located
just under the Time-Off Switches in the switch
array (FIG. 5). The unit will operate day only, night
only, or continuously (24-hours). However, the
photocell that senses the sunlight is susceptible to
bright lights. Take care not
to have bright lights shining
toward the front of the unit
since this can prevent the
unit from operating prop
-
erly. To set the time period for the unit to operate
set switches
3 and 4 in the Mode Function settings
to the following:
Switch 3 Switch 4 Mode
ON OFF Day Only
OFF ON
24-Hour
ON ON Night Only
OFF OFF Night Only
RANDOM OPERATION SWITCH
The Random Operation
Switch is the bottom switch
in the switch array (FIG. 6)
.
The unit will randomly play
the selected recordings in non-sequential order
when operating in Random Mode. When the unit
is not operating in the Random Mode, the unit will
play the selected recordings in a sequential order.
The Random Mode is recommended to keep birds
from adapting to a preset pattern of sounds. To
operate the unit in Random Mode, set switch
5 as
follows:
Switch 5 Mode
ON Random mode ON
OFF Random mode OFF
PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE
Bird Recording Switches: Results:
1, 3, 5 and 6 to “ON” position Plays Birds 1, 3, 5 & 6
Mode Switches:
1 = “OFF” position
2 = “ON” position (Medium), every 1 to 4 minutes
3 = “ON” position
4 = “OFF” position Operates during daylight hours only
5 = “ON” position In random, non-sequential order
VOLUME CONTROL
The unit has a volume control dial on the front
panel of the unit. Turning the dial toward LOW will
reduce sound output and rotating the dial toward
HIGH will increase sound output.
CAUTION: Take care when turning the dial since the unit may be in
an inactive state when the dial is rotated. It could then reactivate
at a very high level of sound which could be painful to your ears.
