WK 0052 – GARDEN PROTECTOR 2
The motion sensor of the Garden Protector 2 is automatically activated by movement and the
unit will emit a specific range of sound signals – the frequencies depend on the settings
selected. The dogs, cats, martins, foxes, etc. are disturbed by the ultrasonic sounds and leave
the area. Independent laboratory tests have proven this technology to be an effective form of
pest control.
Power Source
The Garden Protector 2 functions with 4 "D" alkaline batteries of good quality or with the
optional Power Adapter (WKT052). If you decide to use batteries, remove the back cover by
sliding the battery cover down. Place the 4 batteries as shown inside the unit. To replace the
battery cover, place it according to the arrows on the unit and slide up to close completely.
The life of the batteries depends on the number of activations. Good quality batteries will
allow about 5000 activations before replacement is required.
If you use the Power Adapter, simply plug it into the socket on the side of the unit. No
batteries should be in the unit when using the Power Adapter.
Selecting the right frequency setting
Select among the range of frequencies and animals to chase according to the settings shown on
the back cover. Move the dial on the front of the unit to the selected position. The infrared
detector automatically reacts to movement with an emission of ultrasonic sound for about 7
seconds, then returns to an inactive period for 5 seconds. If movement continues, the cycle
automatically restarts. The unit is operational as soon as you have selected one of the 7
positions and either placed the batteries or attached the Power Adapter.
Older animals (like older people) may have a reduced hearing capacity. If you note that your
targeted animal does not react to the Garden Protector 2, we suggest that you lower the
frequency by setting the unit to a higher number position.
Please note : the higher the setting selected, the lower the range of frequencies. The highest
settings (6 + 7) may be somewhat audible to people with excellent hearing. Do not place your
ear directly against the Garden Protector and keep away from children.
LED Flash
The Garden Protector 2 is equipped with an LED Flash. If turned "ON", the flash will activate
5 times during the 7 second period of sound emission. Note: When battery powered, using the
Flash will naturally diminish the battery-life by about forty percent.
Placement
The unit should be placed 30 – 60 cm from the ground depending on the targeted animal. Two
supports are provided to make installation easier. Be certain that there are no obstacles
between the Garden Protector and the area to be protected to assure free access of both
detection and emission. If the area to be protected is very large or heavily vegetated, several
units may be required.
Be a good neighbor
The Garden Protector 2 solves the problem of stray and invading animals – dogs, cats, martins,
foxes, rabbits, etc. Avoid directing the unit at your neighbor's property or a public path. This
product is intended for use on the property of the owner.
The lowest frequencies (the highest settings) may be heard by some people. If disturbing,
simply raise the frequency by turning the dial to a lower number setting.
