VOSS.SONIC 2800 User manual

Thank you for purchasing the VOSS.sonic 2800. The VOSS.sonic 2800 is an ultrasonic repeller
of the latest generation. It helps you protect your garden, house, carport, garage, warehouse,
attic and many other places.
Once the motion sensor is activated, the device begins to emit a group of sound signals at
frequencies that depend on the selected setting of the frequency dial (rotary button on the front
side of the device). The animals are disturbed by the ever changing sounds and ultrasounds and
are forced to leave the affected area.
Thanks to the combination of ultrasound and flashing light, the success rate is particularly high
and peace and quiet can soon be enjoyed again.
The VOSS.sonic 2800 is an all-round device, suitable for the use against dogs, cats, foxes,
martens, badgers, deer and raccoons.
(From now on, the VOSS.sonic 2800 will drive away all unwanted and annoying animals for you.)
Inserting the batteries:
The VOSS.sonic 2800 can be operated with four 1.5V alkaline mono cells or with a mains
adapter. As soon as you have connected the device to a power source and trigger the motion
sensor, a red light appears in the top half of the panel.
In case you have inserted batteries but decide to use a mains adapter instead, simply plug the
power adapter into the device. The contact to the batteries is disconnected then. If you want
to switch back to batteries, remove the power adapter. The contact to the batteries will be
released this way again.
Ensure that the frequency dial on the front is set to zero. Turn the switch to
position “OFF” for this.
Slide open the cover of the battery compartment on the back of the device and place the
batteries inside it. Put the cover back in place by first aligning the arrows on both sides of the
cover with the arrows on the housing and then sliding it shut. The service life of the batteries
depends on the number of triggered operations.
Quality batteries allow for approx. 5000 operations.
Please note that the flash requires particularly much electricity and cannot be triggered if the
voltage drops below 3.6 V.
Once the voltage falls below 3.4 V, the ultrasonic sounds also stop being emitted correctly. The
batteries are too weak and need replacing.
Low charge can be noticed by a decrease in the light intensity of the signal light and, sometimes,
a croaking noise.

Installation and positioning:
The VOSS.sonic 2800 is splash-waterproof and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The device can either be mounted on a wall or fence using the enclosed L-shaped bracket and
nails/screws or positioned on a stick or pipe (diameter approx. 2.5 cm).
When using outdoors, please make sure that no moisture can get inside the device. This can be
avoided by, firstly, ensuring that the cover on the back of the device is properly closed and
secondly, choosing a place that is protected from heavy rains.
Mount the VOSS.sonic 2800 at the height where the individual animal’s head would be. If you
are unsure which kind of animal is causing the trouble, please use a height of approx. 0.5 m.
Possible heights for mounting:
Cat 30-50 cm
Dog 40-70 cm
Marten/Badger/Raccoon 20-45 cm
Deer 70-120 cm
In places with dense foliage and in large areas it may be necessary to use more than one device.
Use the device continuously. It can take up to 2 weeks until the ultrasonic repeller is successful
in driving the animals away.
Maintenance:
For a long service life of your product, please note the following.
1. When operating the device with batteries, please check the condition of the batteries regu-
larly.
2. Please remove the batteries or the mains adapter when the device is not in use and store in
a dry place.
3. Please remove any snow and ice during winter.
Operation and application:
The VOSS.sonic 2800 starts operating as soon as the motion sensor is activated.
At the first use or after a change of the batteries the device starts emitting ultrasonic sounds
within the first 30 seconds. After a brief audible clicking sound at the start, the device emits
ultrasonic sounds for about 7 seconds and then switches off by itself. As a visible control, the
signal lamp also lights up in red. The device switches itself back on after 5 seconds if the
movement continues. This cycle will continue until the movement stops.

The device is operational as soon as the frequency dial is set to one of the positions
between 1 and 7.
Look at points A to D to get familiar with
the various settings.

Settings:
By turning the dial (A), you can adjust which animal will be repelled. You can find an overview of
the animals and the correlating settings on the back of the device. You can choose between 7
animal groups. The arrows show you the range that is repelling for the animals. The more arrows
next to one another, the more animals can hear the ultrasonic tones.
1-7: Cats (cats hear the signals of the entire spectre)
2-7: Dogs (dogs hear the signals of spectres 2 to 7)
3-7: Foxes
4-7: Martens/Badgers
5-7: Rabbits/Deer
6-7: Deer/Raccoons
Especially in the dark you can make use of the flash (B) alongside the ultrasounds to reach a high
repelling effect. When the switch is set to “ON”, the flash will be activated 5 times during the 7
seconds of emitted sounds.
Please note, however, that this will impact the battery usage significantly. For this reason, it is
best to use the flash only when the device is operated via mains supply. Should this not be pos-
sible, we recommend using rechargeable batteries.
Caution:
The higher the setting of the frequency dial (positions 6 – 7), the lower are the applied ultraso-
nic sounds of the frequency range and the more animals are able to hear them. (So if you would
like to repel cats only, then, you switch the dial to position 1 and use the very high ultrasonic
sounds. the hearing of older animals is not as good as the hearing of young ones. Thus, in some
situations it may be necessary to broaden the ultrasound spectre.)
