USER MANUAL 60085 Gardigo

The Gardigo Solar Water Animal-Repellent scares animals away by using a 10 m water jet, which is activated by a PIR motion detector. The device is charged via a solar panel and only needs a constant water supply. The device works on bat- teries that are charged by the solar panel. Any use other than the specified is not permitted! No liability will be taken for any damage or consequential damages caused by improper use and/or not following the instructions and/or technical modifications and in consequence the warranty will expire.

2. Important notes on operation and use

The device does not repel all animals immediately. The emit- ted water jet will only startle the animals and make them feel uncomfortable. After some repetitions the animals will move to other areas which appear more quiet and pleasant. The reach of the water jet depends on the water pressure and the adjustments made to the sprayer. The spray angle can be adjusted up to 170°. The product can easily be mounted and is an ideal protection against unwanted animals. The device is environmentally friendly and does not have any harmful ef- fect on the animals, as it is only a burst of water which is used to startle them. Every trigger alarm uses 2 – 3 cups of water. Please make sure that the PIR motion sensor is not covered and has an unobstructed view of the area you‘re wishing to control. It is not recommended to use the device in tempera- tures lower than 5 °C. Please note that the water pressure of your water connection must be controlled to achieve a good water-spray result. The water pressure should be below 4 bar. If your water pressure is higher, a so-called water pressure reducer is available on the market, with which you can reduce the pressure manually. Note: the response of each animal to our animal repellent may vary. The development of our devices, methods and ap- plication tips are based on experience, testing and feedback from our customers. Therefore the devices are successful in most cases.

3. Safety instructions

• Electrical appliances, packaging materials, etc. do not belong in the hands of children.

• The device may only be used with the stated voltage: 2 x AA re- chargeable batteries.

• If repairs are needed, only original spare parts may be used to avoid serious damage.

• It must was be determined if the device is suitable for the respec- tive use.

• The use of this device is not de- signed for use by persons (including children under 8 years) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa- bilities, or the lack of experience or lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been instructed in the use of the device by a person responsible for their safety.

• If you do not use the device for an extended period of time, remove the batteries and store them ac- cordingly.

• Batteries should not be used in temperatures under 0 °C. They may become damaged and lose their capacity.

• Never use normal alkaline batter- ies! They might leak or explode in the device!

• Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on when giv- ing the device to a third party.

• This unit is suitable for outdoor use.

• Please make sure that the con- nected hosepipe is laid out in such a way, that it does not become a tripping hazard.

• Ground spike, 2-parts

• Standard connector for garden hose

• 2 x rechargeable batteries (AA)

The Gardigo Solar Water Animal-repellent is powered by re- chargeable batteries. The garden hose is connected with a quick snap connector. Inserting the batteries:

1. You will need two Mignon (AA) rechargeable batteries.

2. Open the cover of the battery compartment

located be- low the PIR sensor by sliding it downwards.

3. Open the battery compartment by lifting up the latch

4. Insert the batteries. Pay attention to the polarity. The mi-

nus end of the battery always connects to the spring in the battery compartment.

5. Close the battery compartment. Make sure that the rubber

sealing is in the groove and has not been twisted.

6. Slip the cover of the battery compartment

1. Screw the plastic tube to the connector

at the bottom of the device.

2. Screw the metal spit to the plastic tube

3. Screw the quick connector for the garden hose to the metal

4. Screw the spraying unit

to the top of the device.

5. Align the solar panel

so that it receives direct sunlight throughout the day. Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the device.

6. The repellent can now be set up in the garden or near the

7. The batteries may not be fully charged. Leave the device in

the sun for 2 – 3 hours and allow the batteries to charge. Operation: To set up the Water Repellent choose a spot that will oversee the area you want to clear of animals. Make sure to look for a position where the animals will walk across the sensors view- ing area rather than walking directly towards the sensor. Make sure that the view of the sensor is not obstructed by leaves or foliage and that the surface of the sensor is clean. When adjusting sensor sensitivity you need to consider what kind of animal you want to scare away and the distance of detection (see below). It is possible to adjust the angle and the distance of the waterspout. Make sure that the sensor has a stable stand, as the recoil during the waterspout can be quite strong.

• Place the ground spit into the ground. If the earth is too hard we recommend to soften it by soaking it with water. The sensor should not be higher than 1 m above the area that is being controlled.

• If you want to place the device in an area that has no soil, we recommend the use of an umbrella stand. Note: False alarms can be triggered by objects that are warmer than the surroundings, by strong water movement, by rapid temperature changes and by house pets. On very hot days it may occur that an animal is not detected as the surrounding temperature is equal to that of the body temperature. This function is normal for a PIR sensor.

• Connect your garden hose to the quick connector on the spike . Make sure that the hose and all connections are in good condition and that there is no leakage. Make sure that there is no sand or other debris is in the garden hose.

• If you do not want to use the second outlet in the spike, then close this with the supplied cap

• You should check the function of the device, before opening the water tap.

• Switch the device to position 9 and wave your hand in front of the motion sensor. If you hear a silent click, then the device has been activated and the valve for the water has switched. Open your water tap to full.9 Small animals 3 m detection: mode 5 – 7 6 m detection: mode 8 – 9 Medium animals 3 m detection: mode 3 – 4 6 m detection: mode 5 – 6 10 m detection: mode 7 – 9 Large animals 3 m detection: mode 1 – 3 6 m detection: mode 4 – 6 10 m detection: mode 7 – 9 Controlling the waterspout: The motion sensor has a horizontal detection angle of 100° and vertical detection angle of 65°. With a water pressure of 8 bar, the waterspout can reach up to 10 m. The distance can be adjusted and reduced. This should be done on-site. There are generally two ways of adjusting the water spray:

• Distance: turn the plastic screw the top of the sprinkler unit . The further the water-blocker is extended, the shorter the distance of the water spray.

• Scattering angle: at the base of the sprinkler unit you will find two clips / limiting the scattering angle of the spray unit. These can be easily turned and adjusted when they are slightly pulled apart. Each clip defines the stop- per for left and right . The metal clip is the detector. When this hits one of the clips it will change the direction of the sway. Adjusting the sensitivity of the motion sensor: At the back of the device you will find the on-off/sensitivity button . The adjustments are also dependent on the sur- roundings and the activity of the sun.

• Mode 0 (full left): the device is switched off but will still charge the batteries through the solar panel.

• Mode 1 – 9: Increases the sensitivity of the motion sensor. Tip: if you want to reduce or direct the detecting angle of the sensor you can do this by covering parts of the lens with a light proof, adhesive foil. Recommendations for adjusting sensitivity sensor:

• Adjustable spray coverage

• Range of water jet: up to 10 m (adjustable and dependent on water pressure)

• Activation by PIR motion detector: Detection angle approx. 100° x 60°
