LOCATION AND USE

5

The Insect Trapper is best located 

away from 

human activity

 and 

hung at a height of 

around 2.5 metres (Figure 2)

. It is 

recommended that the appliance be used 
continuously when people and pets are 
present. 

Ensure the unit is 

placed away from other 

light sources (Figure 3)

. Keep away from the 

reach of small children or hang using the 
attached hanging ring. Connect the plug to a 
suitable power supply, corresponding to that of 
the appliance, 230VAC 50/60Hz, 15W. For 
hanging use, an extension cord may be 
necessary. This appliance is weatherproof and 
can be left outdoors.

The Insect Trapper is fitted with a 

daylight 

(auto on-off) sensor

, located on the top of the 

unit. The sensor  is around 75mm from the 
hanging ring. Ensure the sensor is not 
obstructed in any way. When hanging the 
trapper, ensure it has around 300mm clearance 
from its top and any flat surface above it (for 
example eaves).  Do not hang the unit near 
other light sources. To activate the Auto On-Off 
feature, switch the unit to Auto, using the 

switch located just below the top of the unit 
(Figure 4).

 Switch to On to use the unit 

regardless of surrounding light conditions.
