Bird-X Super BirdXPeller Pro User manual

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Your complete Super BirdXPeller Pro kit includes a
control unit, power adapter, battery cable with clips
and four speakers. Open the control unit by lifting
the two latches on the side of the enclosure.
Prior to operation, route the speakers and power
cables from their respective jacks on the control
panel down through the cable strain relief in the
lower part of the enclosure, as shown in Figure 1.
IMPORTANT: Be certain that
the power switch is in the OFF
position and the volume control is
set to the minimum (LOW) volume
level (counterclockwise) as
shown in Fig. 2 while plugging the
speaker and power cords into the
control unit.
INSTALLATION
1) Use the mounting hardware (included) to mount
the control unit box to a wall, post or other
vertical surface.
2) Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet or
attach the battery clip assembly to a 12V battery.
The other end of the cable should already be
plugged into the power jack located below
POWER on the front panel of the control unit box.
Digital Bird Repeller
VOLUME CONTROL
The unit has a volume control dial on the front panel
of the unit. Turning the dial toward low will result in
reduced sound output and rotating the dial toward
high will result in an increase in sound output.
CAUTION: Take care when turning the dial since the unit may
be in an inactive state when the dial is rotated. It could then
reactivate at a very high level of sound which could be painful
to your ears.
POWER SWITCH
The power switch enables the unit to operate.
Slide the switch to the ON position to start the
unit. If you turn the unit OFF, be sure to leave it off
for about 30 seconds before turning it back on to
allow the electronics to properly reset.

PROGRAMMING YOUR BIRDXPELLER
To program your BIRDXPELLER
unit you will need a small
screwdriver, toothpick, or other
small, rigid object to toggle the
switches in the switch array. The
switch array is the switch bank
located in the top left corner of
the unit (under “PROGRAM”) . A
switch is ON if the switch is
pressed down on the right-hand side. The
switch is OFF if the left side is pressed down.
BIRD SETTING SWITCHES
The Bird Setting Switches are the first eight
switches in the switch array:
Each switch has a recording number to the right
of it that corresponds with the bird descriptions
listed on the foil label inside the unit.
MODE SETTING SWITCHES
The Mode Setting Switches set
the various modes of operation:
such as the amount of time
between playing bird distress
calls, when the unit will operate (day only, night
only, or 24 hours), and whether the unit will
operate in the random mode or normal mode.
Switch Mode or Function
1 Sets the Time-Off Period
2 Sets the Time-Off Period
3 Sets the Time the unit plays
4 Sets the Time the unit plays
5 Turns Random Mode On or Off
DELAY SWITCHES
The two “Delay”switches are
located just below the Bird
switches in the switch array.
When the unit is set to one of
the various Delay modes, the unit will delay a
number of seconds or minutes between recorded
sounds. Please note that the unit will play all of the
selected recordings (either sequentially or non-
sequentially, depending on the Random Mode)
then it will go into a delay. The time the unit stays
off depends on the Delay and the Random Mode
settings. If the unit is operating in Random Mode,
the unit will delay anywhere from the minimum
value to the maximum value for that Delay setting.
If the unit is not in Random Mode, it will delay only
the minimum value. To set the Delay period (or
delay interval), use the following settings on
switches 1 and 2 in the Mode Function settings.
Switch 1 Switch 2 Delay Period
ON OFF Short
OFF ON Medium
ON ON Long
OFF OFF Extra Long
Mode Min Max
Short 17 sec 50 sec
Medium 1 min 4:15 min
Long 5:00 min 10:00 min
XLong 10 min 30 min
TIME OF OPERATION SWITCHES
The two “Time”switches are
located just under the
Delay switches in the switch
array. ‘Night Only’operates
the unit at night and ‘Day Only’operates the unit
during the day. However, the photocell that
senses the sunlight is susceptible to bright lights.
Take care not to have bright lights shining
towards the unit since this can prevent the unit
from operating properly. In ‘24-Hour Mode’, the
unit will operate continuously, regardless of the
time of day. To set the Time period for the unit to
operate set switches 3and 4in the Mode
Function settings to the following:
Switch 3 Switch 4 Mode
ON OFF Day Only
OFF ON 24-Hour
ON ON Night Only
OFF OFF also Night Only
RANDOM OPERATION SWITCH
The “Random”switch is the bottom switch in
the switch array. When operating in Random
Mode, the unit will randomly
play the selected recordings
in non-sequential order.
When the unit is not
operating in the Random Mode, the unit will play
the selected recordings in a sequential order. The
Random Mode is recommended to keep birds
from adapting to a preset pattern of sounds. To
operate the unit in Random mode, set switch 5in
Mode settings as follows:
Switch 5 Mode
ON Random mode ON
OFF Random mode OFF
