Frequently Asked Questions - 16277 EAL

How to install the EAL 16277 marten repellent?

Disconnect the vehicle battery. Mount the device in the engine compartment, pointing the speaker towards the area to be protected. Connect the cables: red to permanent + (terminal 30), black to ground (terminal 31), green to ignition + (terminal 15). Place the contact plates on bare metal surfaces. Reconnect the battery. The red and yellow indicators confirm operation.

How does the ultrasonic repellent EAL 16277 work?

The device emits pulsed ultrasound at 23 kHz (inaudible to humans) with a sound pressure of 100 dB. In addition, high-voltage plates (250-350 V) deliver an electric shock when the marten touches them. This deters animals from approaching the engine.

What to do if the indicator lights do not turn on?

First check the fuse (F 200 mA, L, 250 V) in the positive cable. If defective, replace it with a new one of the same rating. Also ensure that the electrical connections are correct and the battery is charged.

How to clean the contact plates?

Before cleaning, remove the fuse to cut off power. Clean the bare surfaces of the plates with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaners or solvents. Replace the fuse after drying.

Can the device be used continuously?

If the green cable is not connected to ignition +, the device operates continuously, but this is not permitted according to road traffic regulations (risk of battery discharge). Connect it to the ignition so that the device turns off when the vehicle is stopped.

Are the ultrasounds dangerous for humans?

No, the ultrasound at 23 kHz is inaudible to humans. The maximum sound pressure of 100 dB is safe. Only animals like martens are sensitive to these frequencies.

Can I install multiple devices?

Yes, in cramped engine compartments, it may be necessary to mount several devices because ultrasound is blocked by obstacles. Each device is mounted independently.

How to replace the fuse?

Unscrew the fuse holder housing in the positive cable. Remove the defective fuse and insert a new one of the same type: F 200 mA, L, 250 V. Screw the housing back on.

Does the device withstand engine heat?

The device must be mounted away from heat sources (exhaust, catalytic converter). Follow the mounting instructions to avoid overheating. The compact dimensions (112x59x27 mm) make installation in a suitable location easy.

What to do if the device no longer works after a storm?

Check the fuse and connections. If everything is fine, the device may have suffered a power surge. Contact EAL customer service ([e-mail]) for diagnosis.

Figure 1: Overview

6.2 PREPARATION

Clean the engine compartment thoroughly or use the primer spray for removing marten scent marks, item number: 16265 before installing the ultrasound marten repellent device. We also recommend cleaning the underside of the vehicle and the site on which it stands.

CAUTION

Before starting with the installation of the ultrasound marten repellent device, read the instructions in the manual of your vehicle regarding disconnecting the battery. Disconnecting the battery may result in information in the on-board computer and radio settings being lost.

6.3 ASSEMBLY

Install the ultrasound marten repellent device in such a way that the sound is able to spread freely, similar to the light cone of a torch. Select a position, fig.2, that is as high up as possible in the engine compartment to prevent the risk of influence from dirt and water. Ensure a good distance is left between the device and heat sources such as the exhaust, catalytic converter and rotating parts. Make sure that the fuse in the connecting cable is easily accessible. In very tight engine compartments, it may be necessary to install multiple martin repellent devices since the ultrasound can be shielded considerably by obstacles.

Figure 2: Mounting

Lay the high-voltage cable in such a way that there are bare metal parts with a ground connection nearby, (fig. 3). The repelling effect is only guaranteed if the marten touches a contact plate and grounded parts at the same time.

Figure 3: High voltage cable

6.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Disconnect the battery.

Lay the cables so that they are not under tension and cannot be kinked or crushed. Keep away from heat sources such as exhaust, catalytic converter and rotating parts. Secure the cables well and safely.

Plus (+) connecting cable, red (6) to permanent plus (terminal 30)

Minus (-) connection cable, black (7) to earth (terminal 31)

Control cable, green (5) to ignition plus (terminal 15)

The control cable is connected to the ignition plus and ensures that the unit switches off when the vehicle is started. If you do not connect this cable, the unit is in continuous operation. This continuous operation is not permitted within the scope of the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO).

Remove the screw above the hole for the high-voltage cable from each contact plate (Fig. 4).

Figure 4: Remove screw

Pass the high-voltage cable through the small hole in the insulator on all contact plates (Fig. 5).

Figure 5: High-voltage cable through insulator

When you have fixed all contact plates, put the screws back in (picture 6). Screw the screws all the way in. The screw penetrates the insulation of the high-voltage cable. This makes an electrical connection between the cable and the contact plate.

Figure 6: Screw in the screw

Reconnect the battery and check that the terminals are tight. The marten repellent is now in operation. The operating indicator light (position 2 in the overview) lights up red, the high-voltage indicator light (position 1 in the overview) lights up yellow at intervals.

Ultrasound cannot be perceived by humans. Use the indicator light as a guide when checking the function.

CAUTION

High voltage is now applied to the contact plates.

Make sure that the installation of the marten repellent ultrasonic does not interfere with any other functions of the vehicle.

Check that the marten repellent is switched off when the ignition is switched on, the indicator lights go out.

CAUTION

When the vehicle stands for a long time, the battery may discharge.

6.5 REPLACING A DEFECTIVE FUSE

Unscrew the housing of the fuse holder in the plus cable. Replace the defective fuse with a new, fuse of the same type F 200 mA, L, 250V. Screw the fuse holder back together again.

Figure 7: Replace fuse

6.6 MEASURES FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE

Inform the workshop about the installation of the marten repellent device.

Switch off the Marder repellent unit by removing the fuse (see section 6.5) before starting maintenance or repair work.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Touching the contact plates with a damp cloth will cause an electric shock when the unit is switched on.

Therefore, switch off the marten repellent device by Remove the fuse (see section 6.5) before starting work.

7.1 MAINTENANCE

The marten repellent itself is maintenance-free when used as intended. Regularly check the device, the high-voltage cables and the contact plates for firm and correct fit.

7.2 CARE

Keep the bare surfaces of the contact plates clean.

Use a soft, maximally damp cloth for this purpose. Do not use any sharp cleaners or cleaners containing solvents. The frequency of cleaning depends on the weather, season and road surface. the road surface.

Replace the fuse after completing the work.

8. NOTES REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
