PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
All PestWest flytraps are made using the highest
quality materials. The unit is of either conformal
polyester powder-coated finish over a zintec
(rust-resistant) chassis or 304 brushed stainless
steel finish. The unit utilises the PestWest full-
size sticky board and is fitted with Quantum
tubes with FEP shatter-resistant coating as
standard.
The Chameleon Vega offers the latest
generation of higher energy efficient T5 lamp
technology. These lamps are powered by a state
of the art high frequency electronic ballast
that is more energy efficient than traditional
magnetic ballasts, and being entirely automatic
no separate starters are required. Electronic ballasts
also increase the performance of fluorescent lamps.
The PestWest Chameleon Vega unit is designed
to be wall mounted.
UNPACKING YOUR UNIT
Each unit is carefully inspected and packed
before leaving our factory. Before discarding
the outer carton, examine for obvious evidence
of transport damage. Remove the unit and pay
particular attention to the removal of all packing
materials, before installing the unit.
MODE OF OPERATION
Electrical flytraps operate on the principle
that most flying insects are attracted to light,
particularly to the ultra violet (UV) end of the
light spectrum. Since insects are still active and will fly
at night, traps should be left operating 24 hours a day.
The Chameleon Vega is guaranteed for 3 years
(excluding tubes and boards)
SITING
The efficiency of the unit can be affected by the
intensity of other light sources, e.g.: daylight.
Therefore, mount the unit where competition
from other sources is minimised.
In food areas, mount close to, but not directly
over, exposed food or preparation surfaces
(preferably to attract flies away from sensitive
areas rather than attract towards them). Observe
where the flies tend to congregate and if
possible, put your flytrap in or close to that area.
Site the units near where flies are likely to gain
access, e.g.: doors and windows opening to the
outside, especially dustbin areas.
Position the trap where it can be easily reached;
not over working machinery where access may
be difficult or dangerous.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The units are supplied with a removable 2 metre
input cable, terminated in a connector to match
the local electricity supply. The units operate
from a 220-240V 50-60Hz supply. If it is necessary
to extend the input cable, a competent
electrician must do this. Should a moulded-on
plug be removed from the lead supplied, this
must be disposed of safely. Ensure that once
installed, the power lead is adequately secured.
INSTALLATION
The Chameleon Vega unit is designed to be wall
mounted. The unit has four keyholes in the back
panel to easily mount the unit onto the wall.
Figure 1 – Keyhole mounting location
The unit can be wall mounted using only the
upper two keyhole fixing points. However, if the
wall is of plasterboard, stud partition etc, we
recommend using all four mounting points and
suitable plasterboard fixings to ensure the unit
will be securely mounted.
To mount the unit onto the wall firstly open the
front cover by lifting outwards from the bottom
(Note: when the cover is opened approximately
45
it will stay open on its own), then remove the
0
sticky board and the upper tube from the unit.
To remove the sticky board you must first open
the board retainer tabs at the bottom of the unit
by twisting outwards.
