Introduction
The daily activity patterns of a mosquito can dier depending on the spe-
cies. In order to save CO2, you can minimize the release of CO2to two tar-
geted release times using the BG-CO2timer. Observe your local mosquito
activity and then choose the appropriate start and stop times to correspond
to when they are active. CO2will only be released during these set times.
The BG-CO2timer is placed between the CO2tank and the mosquito trap(s)
with CO2tubing.

4
Product components
The BG-CO2timer consists of a body with a display, buttons to set up the
release times, and two connections to the CO2tubes.

Battery
The 9 V battery to run the timer is not included in the contents. It has to be
inserted in the back of the body. To run the timer, remove the screws from
the back of the body. Insert a 9 V battery and connect the connection plate
to the battery. Pay attention to connect the battery always with the correct
polarity: hexagonal terminal to round terminal (even a short contact with
the wrong orientation might damage the device). The timer is now switched
on. Then retighten the back of the body with the screws. The charge status
of the battery is shown in the display. The battery should last at least six
months.

Einführung
Die Mückenaktivitäten sind zu verschiedenen Tageszeiten unterschiedlich
hoch. Um CO2zu sparen, können Sie die CO2-Abgabe mit Hilfe des BG-CO2-
Timers auf zwei verschiedene Zeitfenster pro Tag beschränken. Beobachten
Sie die Mückenaktivitäten und wählen Sie dann für die Hauptzeiten zwei
geeignete Zeitfenster aus. Der BG-CO2-Timer wird zwischen der CO2-Quelle
und der Mückenfalle mit CO2-Schläuchen angebracht.

Der BG-CO2 -Timer besteht aus einem Korpus mit Display, Knöpfen zum Ein-
stellen der Zeitfenster und zwei Anschlüssen an CO2-Schläuche.

Batterie
Um den Timer zu betreiben, benötigen Sie eine 9-V-Blockbatterie, die im
Lieferumfang nicht enthalten ist. Um den Timer anzuschalten, entfernen
Sie die Rückseite des Timers, indem Sie die Schrauben lösen. Legen Sie eine
9-V-Blockbatterie ein und verbinden sie dann die Batterie mit der Batteriever-
bindungsplatte. Achten Sie darauf, die Batterie immer mit der richtigen Polarität
anzuschließen: sechseckiger Pol auf runden Pol (auch eine kurze Berührung der
falschen Pole könnte das Gerät beschädigen). Der Timer ist nun eingeschaltet.
Schrauben Sie die Rückseite des Korpus‘ wieder an. Der Batteriestatus wird im
Display angezeigt. Die Batterie sollte für mind. sechs Monate reichen.
