The Mantis 1x2IP is a professional grade ying insect
management system, which has been designed for
installation in designated hazardous environments of
wet and dust. This system is tested for compliance to the
highest standards applicable within this grade of product
– EN60529:1992 IP66. However, the zoning classication
for IP66 environments requires proper interpretation and
each installation must be judged on its merits.
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE
SERVICING. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID OF
THE SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE THIS SYSTEM. REMOVAL OF ANY
PART INSIDE THIS SYSTEM WILL VOID BOTH THE
IP66 RATING AND PESTWEST WARRANTY. THIS
SYSTEM MUST BE FACTORY SERVICED ONLY.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PestWest Mantis systems are made using the highest
quality materials.The frame of the Mantis 1x2IP is
made of 304 brushed stainless steel. A 316 marine
grade stainless steel guard protects the ultraviolet
lamps against damage and also prevents operators from
accidental contact with the glue board. The Mantis 1x2IP
is IP66 rated to the EN 60529-1992 standard for dust and
water ingress protection.
UNPACKING YOUR SYSTEM
Each Mantis 1x2IP is carefully inspected and packed
before leaving our factory.Before discarding the outer
carton, examine for obvious evidence of transport
damage.
Remove the system, and before installation, pay
particular attention to the removal of all packing
materials.
OPERATION
Insect Light Trap (ILT) systems operate on the principle
that most ying insects are attracted to light, particularly
to the ultraviolet (UV) end of the light spectrum. Since
insects will y at night, systems should operate 24 hours
a day.
System ecacy can be aected by the intensity of other
light sources (daylight and overhead lighting). For good
results, mount the system where competition from other
light sources is minimal. For best results, install all your
systems using the PestWest UV-AMETER.
• In food areas, mount the system adjacent to, but
not directly over, exposed food or food preparation
surfaces (attract ies away from food preparation
areas). Always refer to the current local, State and
Federal Food Codes.
• Observe where ies tend to aggregate and install
your system adjacent to that area.
• Mount systems adjacent to y ingress points
(service/overhead doors, and windows).
• Do not position the system over lock-out, tag-out
areas.
• Mount the system above head-level and clear of any
trac, such as forklift trucks.
The system is manufactured with an 8-foot power cord
and operates from a 120V 60Hz electrical supply. The
power cord is hard-wired for electrical safety.
When installing in a wet or dust area, the power
cord MUST be terminated by a connector designed
specically for that environment. Furthermore, it is
the recommendation of PestWest that this system be
installed by a licensed electrician qualied for these
environments.
INSTALLATION
The system is designed to be wall mounted and a bracket
is supplied. Using the wall bracket as a template, mark o
thepositions on the mounting surface. Screws and plastic
plugs are provided to mount the bracket in place, making
sure that the mounting lip of the bracket is highest in
place. Hook the 1x2IP system securely onto the bracket.
Secure the power cord to the wall or other rm surface
prior to connecting to the power supply. Remove the
backing paper from the glue board to reveal the adhesive
surface.
PRECAUTIONS: All PestWest systems are fully
insulated, Class I appliances. Observe the following
precautions:
• Do not submerge the system in water.
• Do not install where dangerous concentrations of
ammable gases or dusts are likely to occur.
• Ensure the system is properly grounded.
• Be certain to have a secure working platform while
servicing the system.
• Do not allow the glue board to become over-lled
with dead insects.
• The Mantis 1x2IP, when permanently mounted,
may be used both indoors and outdoors (if under a
covered area and installed by a licensed electrician).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ALWAYSTURN OFF POWER TOTHE SYSTEM BEFORE
SERVICING.
To maintain the attractive appearance of the system
wipe down and clean as often as required. Use a cloth
dampened with water and detergent or a proprietary
cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or abrasives.
Change the glue board at regular intervals, as required by
insect captures, or at least every 8 weeks.
It is recommended to lubricate all moving parts such as
the catch-tray spring-loaded retainer on an annual basis,
particularly in harsh environments.
If Mantis 1x2IP systems are placed within a food or
pharmaceutical plant, a pharmaceutical-grade lubricant
may be required.
The UVA lamps in ying insect management systems
should be changed once per year. Lamps that are less
than one year old are most attractive to targeted ying
insects. UVA is highly attractive to photo-positive
insects and is emitted from our Quantum lead-
free, shatter-resistant lamps already installed in
this system. UVA light is invisible to the human eye.
Daily switching on and o of the lamps results in an even
faster loss of the eective UVA emission. Use the PestWest
UV-AMETER to measure lamp ecacy.
Adding PestWest Indian Meal moth pheromone
monitors to the glue board further enhances the capture
experience.
IT IS MOST EFFECTIVE TO LEAVE THE SYSTEM ON
CONTINUOUSLY AND TO CHANGE THE QUANTUM
LAMPS AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR PREFERABLY
POSTWINTER ONSET OF INCREASED INSECT
ACTIVITY.
PestWest’s exclusive FEP shatter-resistant lamp coating
is the highest quality available. FEP is both UVA and
operating temperature tolerant while allowing maximum
UVA emission at critical wavelengths.
CHANGING THE GLUE BOARD
ALWAYSTURN OFF POWER TOTHE SYSTEM BEFORE
SERVICING. DUE TO INSECT CONTAMINATION THE GLUE
BOARD SHOULD BE CHANGEDWHEN FULL OR AT LEAST
EVERY EIGHT WEEKS.
Remove the catch tray by pulling out and holding the
spring-loaded silver knob on the side of the tray. Remove
the old glue board by pulling down and out of the system.
Remove the backing paper from the new board and slide
into position, sticky side facing the UV lamps, ensure
it clicks into place under the retainers at the top of the
system. Replace catch tray.
Note that given the environment that this system is
designed to go in to, may require more frequent glue
board changes than in a less dusty environment.

CHANGING THE LAMPS
ALWAYSTURN OFF POWER TOTHE SYSTEM BEFORE
SERVICING.
Remove the catch tray by pulling out and holding
the spring-loaded silver knob on the side of the tray.
Open the guard; this pivots downwards from its lower
edge.Unclip thetop of the guard from the body by
pushing it upwards which will allow it to be hinged
forward on the lower pivot points. This will permit access
to the lamps and starters. Grasp the lamp with one hand
and unscrew the white waterproof cap counterclockwise
with the other hand until it slides free from the lamp
holder. Repeat this operation with thewaterproof capat
the other end of the lamp.
Care should be taken when removing each waterproof
cap to ensure that its rear black rubber water-sealingring
does not become displaced and remains on the lamp
holder body. Should this occur, it must be removed
and retted into the annular ring on the back of the
waterproof cap before the cap is screwed back onto the
lamp holder.
With the waterproof caps removed the lamp may now
be removed from the system. Repeat the operation with
theother lamp.
PestWest’s Mantis 1x2IP system is manufactured with the
revolutionary reusable Reectobakt® sleeves, a PestWest
innovation introduced to improve the performance
of the system.The Reectobakt® sleeve is a screen
positioned between the source of the UV light and the
glue board, reducing the amount of UV striking the board,
(signicantly increasing the life of the adhesive).
Unclip the Reectobakt® sleeves from the used lamps
and install them onto the new lamps following the
instructions described under – INSTALLING THE
REFLECTOBAKT® SLEEVE.
Position the waterproof caps on the new lamps, with
Reectobakt® sleeves, ret into the lamp holders by
pushing the lamps into place. Ret each waterproof cap
in turn while holding the lamp down in position with one
hand to avoid it springing out of place while the caps are
being tightened. The caps should be fully screwed down
to ensure a watertight seal with the lamp.
Be sure the Reectobakt sleeves are correctly placed
(shielding the glue board from the lamps). Ensure a
Reectobakt sleeve is centered on each lamp.
INSTALLING THE REFLECTOBAKT®
SLEEVE
ALWAYSTURN OFF POWER TOTHE SYSTEM BEFORE
SERVICING.
Take the lamp and line up the two leading edges of the
Reectobakt® sleeve with the pairs of pins at either end
of the lamp - see Fig 1. Ensure that the sleeve is centered
on the lamp so that the small gap between the end of the
sleeve and the metal end of the lamp is the same at both
ends. Carefully push the sleeve so it is in contact along
the length of the lamp surface. It should grip and stay in
position. Re-t the lamp into the lamp holder; the sleeve
should be positioned at the back of the lamp, (between
the lamp and the glue board), keeping the light o the
glue board. At all times, handle the shield with care.The
edges may be sharp and the dimensions are critical to
proper t upon the lamp.
