Assembly

No Tools Required

1. Set the detection mode to Open the battery cover (located under the sensor housing), then snap the battery case onto the battery clip connector (Fig. 1) and close the battery cap clockwise until the click sounds (Fig. 2).

⚠ WARNING! Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. may cause irritation or burns.

⚠ WARNING! Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
⚠ WARNING! Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause explosion.

1. Run a dry test by turning the detection mode to 📋 and wave your hand in front of the sensor lens. You should clearly hear the internal water valve click open, then click closed 3 seconds later.

If this does not work, try a new battery. The sprinkler resets 8 seconds after the valve closes if the sensor does not detect any further motion.

1. Follow (Fig. 3) to assemble your pest deterrent sprinkler. These fittings should only be hand-tightened. No tools are required.

1. Drive the step spike into soft terrain such as soil, gravel or sand by putting your body weight onto the foot pedal. If needed, use an extended spike to keep the sprinkler more upright and stable. Refer to Fig. 5 to install extended spike.

⚠️FRAGILE! Do not push down on the sensor housing or sprinkler head. If the ground is too hard or unsuitable for the ABS plastic step spike, try placing the sprinkler in a flower pot filled with a weighted material like sand or gravel.

Daisy-Chaining

If you have more than one pest deterrent sprinkler, you can daisy-chain them up in a series by removing the flow-through cap and connecting them together with a hose (Fig. 6).

Operation

Detection Modes

To avoid getting wet, you can calibrate your desired detection mode without turning on the water as long as you can hear the activation click from 33 ft (10 m) away.

1. Set the desired detection mode using the detection + sprinkler mode dial (Fig. 8) based on the chart below.

Mode Distance Animals

	10 – 16 ft (3 – 5 m) Large-Sized Animals
	26 – 33 ft (8 – 10 m) Medium-Sized Animals
	33 – 39 ft (10 – 12 m) All Animals

1. The pest deterrent sprinkler has a field of view of 120^ . Position the motion sensor lens based on your desired coverage area (Fig. 9).

Fig. 9 120°

Sprinkler Modes

To use your pest deterrent sprinkler as a regular sprinkler, you can set 10/20/30 minute auto-spray timers, after which it will stop (Fig. 8).

Activation Modes

The pest deterrent sprinkler has 4 activation modes: ○ - Off, | - Always On, ● Day Time and ⬇ - Night Time (Fig. 10).

Fig. 10 Day Time Always On Night Time Off

NOTE: The pest deterrent sprinkler automatically reduces its sensitivity after 5 minutes in order to preserve battery life. To minimize false triggers, avoid pointing it towards moving objects, windy areas or very large areas.

Water Coverage

NOTE: Turn the water on and test from behind unless you want to get wet!

After setting up and positioning your pest deterrent sprinkler, you may wish to adjust the rotation, distance and arc of the sprinkler.

1. Position the trip lever towards the area you wish to protect. Turn the friction collars on either side of the trip lever to control the sprinkler's angle of rotation, between 0^-300^ (Fig. 11).

Fig. 11 Friction collars Trip lever Narrow rotation Wide rotation

1. Flip the trip lever up out of the way of the friction collars to achieve full 360° rotation (Fig. 12).

Fig. 12 Trip lever

1. To increase the sprinkler's spray distance, raise the deflector shield and turn the distance control knob clockwise simultaneously. To decrease spray distance, lower the deflector shield and turn the distance control knob counter-clockwise simultaneously (Fig. 13).

2. To vary the spray pattern, turn the diffuser screw clockwise to adjust the spray from narrow jet to wide mist and vise versa (Fig. 13).

NOTE: The spray distance will depend heavily on your water pressure. Do not exceed this product's maximum rated pressure of 100 PSI.

Watering Tips

Water only when necessary, preferably in the morning to minimize water loss through evaporation.

⚠️CAUTION! Poor placement or malfunctioning sprinklers carry a risk of causing water damage to your property. Mitigate risks by limiting the amount of water available to the product (open valve 3/4), use good quality hoses and ensure there is adequate drainage in the area. Install a pressure reducing valve on your tap if your water pressure exceeds 100 PSI. Partially opening your tap does NOT change the water pressure.

Maintenance

Since water expands when it freezes, completely drain water from your sprinkler and hose to avoid damage if temperature falls below 32^ F ( 0^ C).

CAUTION! Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

CAUTION! Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
