Power supply / Batteries
Before working on the batteries or inserting new batteries,
make sure that the unit is turned OFF!
The ON / OFF switch is on the front of the electronic unit
and is labelled with I for ON and 0 for OFF.
To insert the batteries release the locking by pressing the plastic
plate direction the clock. The battery contact board
can then be removed upwards.
Important:
The batteries must be removed
when the unit is stored!
Open the lid of the electronic unit (108511) and make sure that the paper strip
between the batteries and the contact board is removed.
After this press the battery contact board back down to close it.

6
Setting the timer
If the batteries are inserted and are in contact with the battery contact
board the timer will directly start working
To set up the timer, open the clear cover from the timer.
Setting the actual time
By turning the inner disk clockwise the current time is set to the small arrow.
One turn means one hour.
The little mark on the disc is meant to be the minutes. If the mark shows up it
is one hour, to the right 1/4 hour, downwards 1/2 hour and to
the left a 3/4 hour.
Setting the work time
The clock is set from the factory so that it will work 24 hours. All cams are
pushed outward. To set the pause time, the cams have to pushed in.
Each cam stands for 30 minutes
Cam outside / Unit works
Cam inside / Break (Unit doesn’t work)
The working time should adjust to suit the local conditions. It is recommended to
observe the feeding times of the birds/animals and set the timer to suit.
Council regulations may also need to be observed.
Switch I AUTO 0 always in position “Auto”
Important:
NEVER turn the timer anticlockwise!!
7
The best thing is to start with a setup that bangs not so often.
Only when the number of birds and wild animals is getting bigger then
change the switch (for example from 3 to 2) to reduce the pause interval.
Setting the shot frequency
You can choose from 4 different time frames, how long the pause time should be.
The unit will then shoot randomly in that time to avoid habituation effect.
If the number of birds and wild
animals is not large then it is
possible to increase the pause
time. In our experience, an
intensive multi-shot approach
with longer pause intervals is
much better and more effective
than lots of frequent shots.
Switch position Break time
1Break of 2 –4 minutes
2Break of 4 –8 minutes
3Break of 8 –16 minutes
4Break of 16 –32 minutes

8
Setting the volume
With a switch on the board the volume of the unit can
be set in two different volumes
For the full volume the switch has to be on position B, for
a reduced volume the switch has to be on A
Switch position A= Reduced sound level
100m distance approx 90db(A)
Switch position B= Full sound level
100m distance approx 96db(A)
9
1 shot = both switches up
2 shot = left up / right down
3 shot = left down / right up
4 shot = both switches down
Setting the number of shots
Changing the number of shots only when the unit is turned off!
Wait 15 seconds before turning the unit on again so it can re-set properly.
The recommended number of shots is 3.
Tests have shown that the best results will be made with the 3 shots.

12
Once this is done the cross bar will be attached to the sound tube
and tightened with the wing nut. Make sure that the cross bar is
Remove the wing nut,
toothed washer and the
washer from the thread on
the sound tube (106040).
Make sure that the opening from the sound tube for the spark plug
shows in the same direction like the cross bar (see picture)
13
Remove the propane nozzle which
is plugged into the gas hose
(Gh-2) which runs away from
the electronic unit.
The propane nozzle will screwed
into the nozzle-bracket from the

tighten carefully by using a screwdriver.
14
Unscrew the plastic screw from the thread insert rubber. Take now the plastic
screw; slide it onto the ground wire and through the spark plug.
The spark plug is inserted through the opening of the rubber grommet. Then the
plastic screw is screwed into the thread insert rubber and tightened firmly.

16
Insert the big foot plates (102273) into the
long poles (102025). Make sure to use the long
poles. This will prevent that rainwater can run
into the poles.
Now the short pole (102023) will be fitted to
the long pole.
17
Take the adjustable pole (102026 & 102028) and put the small foot
plate (102275) on. Now hold the previously assembled poles (long + short)
next to the adjustable pole. Use the wing screw to adjust the length so
that the adjustable pole has the same length like the other poles.
After this place all three poles on the bearing block.

18
Slide the gas hose (Gh-2) trough
the middle of the bearing block.
Using the adjustable pole the unit
can be adjusted to the ground that
the unit stands horizontally.
After all poles are mounted on the bearing block, the Purivox
Carousel Triplex V can be turned over and put on the foot plates.
19
Hang one side of the chain (102080) with the sharp end of the hook
pointing out of the bearing block. Move the chain
through the handle of the bottle and attach the other end of the chain
also to the bearing block (sharp end outside!)

20
Screw the POL gas regulator (101660) on the propane gas bottle
and connect the gas hose from the regulator with the gas hose (Gh-2)
of the electronic unit. Take care that the two hoses are
moved together completely.
21
Open the valve of the gas bottle and switch on the unit.
The unit will now start working.
After the unit is switched on move
immediately away from the unit!

Troubleshooting
Purivox Carousel Triplex V doesn´t bang:
1. Check the gas bottle capacity; remove the gas hose from the solenoid valve
an dip the hose into a bucket of water and open the gas valve.
Smoke or open fire in this situation can be dangerous!
2. If the gas bubbles in the water, check the hose for leaks.
3. Check the hose connections on the solenoid valves. Is the direction of the gas
flow the same as the arrow on the solenoid valve? Don´t kink the hoses.
4. Is the propane jet from the jet hose screwed into the injector?
5. Battery check: Each battery must have a minimum voltage of 5 volts. Is the
transmitter in function? If necessary check the voltage of batteries with a
voltmeter in the workshop of your dealer. If the combined voltage has
dropped to 9,0 volts, or the short circuit current of the single batteries drops
under 1 ampere, replace the batteries.
6. Is the time at the timer set correctly? Maybe control.
7. Is the outside switch at position “1” ON?
8. Spark control. Is the spark cable intact? If the cable is damaged, please
don´t fix it by yourself! Warning: High voltage spark! Distance between
the electrodes of the ignition spark should be approx 5mm. Test the
controller function without gas flow turned on! Hold ignition spark plug
holder together with the earth cable to the metal bracket. Don´t touch
the spark gap with your fingers while switching the unit ON. Don´t run
the earth cable and spark cable next to each other.
9. The unit has a self reset security safety element. Please watch out for
potential short circuits between the connecters.
10. Timer is set wrong.
11. The timer has no internal battery. So after removing the batteries or
when the batteries are totally flat, the time must be reset when
new batteries are fitted.
Notes: If the device is not in use you have to - in order to avoid
damage to the electronic units by leaking batteries - remove the
batteries mandatory. Close the unit and store it dry.
Purivox Carousel Triplex V bangs at times, when it shouldn’t bang.

Mirror pyramid
Using the optional mirror pyramid which is mounted on the top of the
Purivox Carousel Triplex V adds a strong visual deterrent.
The mirror pyramid is especially made for protecting areas which are
close to power lines and big trees. It reflects powerful light beams
from the sun which will flash at any birds nearby. These blinding
flashes cause the birds to fly off.
With the two different colors on the Pyramid,
the scaring effect is reinforced.
The mirror pyramid is mounted on a rod to the crossbar of the
Purivox Carousel Triplex V. With the rubber buffer fitted, the
pyramid can wiggle. This means with every shot, the pyramid is
wiggling and increases the overall effect of the unit.
