USER INSTRUCTIONS

Sureguard ScareCrow-360
o
Motion Activated Deterrent is an innovative and humane way to
keep many unwanted animals out of an area. It’s environmentally friendly and a safe
alternative to chemical repellents.
Sureguard ScareCrow-360
o
uses THREE repelling actions that are active horizontally in all
directions, 360 degrees. So no matter which direction the animals come from, the deterrent
will be active.
• Blue Sentinel Lights flash to deter animals over long distances at night.
• Close up, Motion Sensors detect the body heat of animals.
This triggers 15-seconds of Ultrasonic Sound and White Flashing Lights.
• The combined flashing pattern of the White Lights and Blue Sentinel Lights
simulate an Up-Down Motion of the device that animals are particularly wary of at night.
• Two User Selectable Operating Modes – 24 Hours or Night Only.
• Solar powered with internal Lithium Rechargeable Battery.
• External USB charging port.
• Blue Sentinel Light can be switched off.
• Ultrasonic changes frequency to target many animal’s unique hearing range.
• Metal Ground Spike allows easy placement in your lawn or garden.
• Motion Sensors: One on each face; a total of three.
• Motion Activation Distance: Up to about 8m depending on the environment.
• Sentinel Lights: Total of six, spaced apart at 60-degrees.
• Sentinel Active Distance: At night, up to 50m to 200m.
• Ultrasonic Speakers: One on each face; a total of three.
• Ultrasonic Frequencies: Multiple hopping tones from 15kHz to 50kHz.
• Ultrasonic SPL: About 75dB to 90dB at 1m (frequency dependant).
• White Flashing Lights: Two on each face; a total of six.
• Enclosure: Weather resistant to an IP44 rating.
• Internal Battery: 18650 Lithium Ion 3.7 volt 1800mah.

How this Repellent Works
Features
Specifications

The Sureguard ScareCrow-360
o
has the ability to modify animal behaviour, but animals have natural
behaviours and motivations that should also be considered. It may take longer to get results when an
animal has strong motivation. For example, an animal eating your garden plants is probably doing so
because little food is available. Persistent behaviours can sometimes take longer to control. For
example, deterring a neighbour’s dog from visiting will likely get quick results because the dog is
aware it’s out of its territory. However, your dog may not be initially controlled, but eventually the
deterrent becomes a nuisance to your dog.
How long the modified behaviour persists can vary. For example, a possum may stop visiting for a time
but return when food is in short supply. Therefore, however quick the initial result should be, don’t be
too quick to switch OFF the Sureguard ScareCrow-360
o
. You want to send a strong message if the
animal returns: “this deterrent is always here to protect”.
Sureguard recommends:
1/ Using the Sentinel Blue Light, where possible.
2/ Leaving the device switched ON, even if the animal stops visiting.
Cats: Visiting cats should quickly learn to stay away. Your pet cat may require more time to control.
Dogs: Visiting dogs should quickly learn to stay away because they are intruding on another’s territory.
Your pet dog may require more time to understand the deterrent, and it should be left in place for the
deterrent effect to persist.
Deer: Always have the Sentinel Light operating. Leave the device active continually.
Foxes: Use the Night-Mode setting if visitations occur at night and always have the Sentinel Light
operating. If protecting poultry, you may require two or three devices surrounding your shed to ensure
at least one Sentinal Light can be seen from any approach direction.
Possums: Use the Night-Mode setting for best results and leave the device active continually. The
Sentinel Light may or may not be relevant. The Motion Sensor must be about the same height as the
possum and within at least one of the Motion Sensor’s range. So if the possum is walking along a
fence, up a tree, climbing a building structure, etc., ensure the Sensor is at that height. If the possum is
at ground level, install it at ground level.
Rabbits: Leave the device active continually. Shorten the Support Post to get the appropriate height for
the Motion Sensor. If possible, use the Sentinel Light.
Rodents: Use the Night-Mode setting, and place in a dry location at ground level.
Wallabies and Kangaroos: Always have the Sentinel Light operating. Leave the device active
continually.

Parts Guide

Solar Panel: Use the device in full sun, away from any shadowing.
Sentinel Light: Flashes continually, once per second. Six Blue LEDs emit light over 360-degrees. The
Sentinel Light scares wary animals at distances up to 50m to 200m at night. We recommend leaving
the light active, although it can be switched off if not appropriate. (See below, “Power Button”). During
daylight hours the flashing light is handy to know (from a distance) that the device is switched ON.
Motion Sensors: Three PIR Motion Sensors protect a full 360-degrees causing the device to emit a
burst of Ultrasonic Sound accompanied by White Flashing LEDs. The Sensors detect body heat, so
they cannot respond to cold-blooded animals. Detection is most sensitive when animals walk ACROSS
the Sensor’s viewing area rather than moving directly towards the Sensor. Avoid placing near foliage
that may cause false triggering during windy daylight hours. (Not applicable if using Night-Mode).
White Flashing Lights: These lights are activated by motion within the range of any of the three PIR
Motion Sensors. All six lights activate simultaneously.
Ultrasonic Speakers: These special wide-band Ultrasonic Speakers produce high-frequency sound
that animals can hear. Each animal has its frequency range of hearing. The frequencies emitted by
these speakers varies to deter many different animals. NOTE: The hearing range of birds is typically too
low to hear ultrasonic sounds. While the flashing lights may act as a deterrent, we do not recommend
this device for birds. All three Speakers activate simultaneously.
3-Piece Metal Post: This 3-Piece Metal Post brings the working height for the Motion Sensors up to
most animal’s height. Use all three pieces to get maximum height or just one or two. Place it FIRMLY
in the ground to avoid false triggering due to device movement from strong winds. For non-soil areas,
place the Metal Post into a movable soil-filled heavy pot. Also, the device has a flat base so it can be
installed at other heights, without the post, on a stable level surface. For example, rest the device at
ground level if you want to sense rodents. Or, place the device at any height on a suitably flat object,
but make sure it cannot fall and get damaged. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the device to sit in water.
Power Button: Press and hold down the Power Button for one to two seconds to switch the device ON
or OFF. To deactivate the Blue Sentinel Light, press and immediately release the Power Button.
Function Button: The Function Button changes the operating mode between Night-Mode and
24Hr-Mode. When the device is first switched ON, it will start in 24Hr-Mode. Press and immediately
release the Function Button to change operating modes. In Night-Mode, the Motion Sensors are
inactive during daylight. In Night-Mode, a Green LED shines through one of the Sensor windows.
USB Charge Port: Before first use, connect a 5 volt USB charger using the supplied cable to fully
charge the internal battery. In day-to-day operation, the Solar Panel will keep the battery charged. You
can also use the USB charger if the solar power is low due to many cloudy days. A low battery is
indicated by: 1/ a Red LED shining through one of the Sensor windows, or 2/ the White LEDs dimly lit,
or 3/ the device won’t switch ON.
NOTE: Switching ON the device resets it to operate in 24-Hour mode with the Sentinel Light ON.
