Model NO.：SSR-516B
The repeller unit is effective at repelling mice, by emitting a sonic pulse which mice feel as a vibration transmitted through the ground. Mice then perceive a danger zone causing them to evacuate the area.
Features
The repeller unit is effective at repelling mice, by emitting a sonic pulse which mice feel as a vibration transmitted through the ground. Mice then perceive a danger zone causing them to evacuate the area.
The pulse is transmitted at approx 40-50 second intervals and covers an area of approx 625sq metres.
The repeller transmits its signal in all directions approx 15 m so they can be placed approx 30 m apart in high risk areas, it is always recommended to use two or more units to get the best results.
The Sentinel Repeller works with a solar charged battery. The solar module charges the battery during the day, and runs the unit, while night-time operation is enabled by the battery. Choose the best sun situation enabling the solar panel to receive the light directly.
First it will sound like “Di” at approx 50 sec intervals, second “Di Di Di” then Third “Di Di Di Di Di ”then it will repeat cycle.
Specifications
Suitable for use in open grasslands, parks, gardens, vegetable gardens, golf courses and open spac..etc
The effective area is about 200-400 square meters.
Instructions
Installation procedure:
Attach the connectors from the aluminium spike to the wire from the head of the unit Connect the small black connector on the battery holder to the other connector on the wires coming out of the top section.. Gently feed this and the wires down into the spike section and secure head to spike section. Make the light plastic connected to the aluminium spike and top section
Insert the spike into the ground paying attention not to damage the unit. The spike should be firmly planted while leaving the base of the head 1-2” above the ground. We suggest use a crowbar to first make a small hole and gently push the spike in or dig a small hole and backfill with earth after the unit is in place. Do not use a mallet, hammer or excessive force as this may damage the unit. Be careful not to break the plastic tip.
You can tell the unit is operating, as it makes a “Buzz’ sound as it transmits its signal, normally if you stand quietly close to the unit you should hear this, if for any reason you have a “noisy one” build up some garden mulch around the unit taking care to leave the solar panel exposed – this will normally quieten it considerably. Sometimes the unit may need a short time in the sun to give a boost and start up, when first installed.
Although the units are weatherproof, it is recommended that you remove it under extreme weather conditions such as hail, flooding and snow. If the unit does become waterlogged and the unit ceases to work, take it out and unplug and leave to dry, often when completely dry the unit will return to normal operation.
If the repeller unit is placed on a slight angle facing the sun often a better battery life can be achieved through better charge rate. Normally the only maintenance required is with a soft cloth, wipe the solar panel cover to remove any excess dirt and grime.
Please take care when removing the units from the ground, that you do not break the connecting wires, it is best to unplug, before removing the spike from the ground.
After some time the battery may start to loose efficiency, these can be replaced, an AA 1.2v NiMh rechargeable battery is recommended.
While the Sentinel Repellers should reduce the number of mouse around your home when installed and working, you should always be vigilant, nothing can be 100% effective as unforseen circumstances may occur and this may result in the chance of an occasional mouse not being immediately repelled. Other external factors such as heavy equipment operating close by, or bushfires may temporarily influence the effectiveness of the units.
