6. General instructions for installation
• If your car has already been visited by martens before, then it is quite likely that they
have marked their territory by leaving scent marks in the engine compartment. These
need to be eliminated before installing the device. We therefore recommend having
the engine thoroughly washed out before starting work.
• The animals will also leave their scent marks under the car e.g. on your parking space.
If you are parking regularly on the same spot we recommend cleaning the parking
place with a detergent.
• When installing make sure that the LED flashes at the top of the device are not
covered.
• When installing the high volt modules please make sure of the following points:
• Make sure that the cables are not installed near movable or hot parts of the engi-
ne.
• A direct contact between the „plus" and „minus" modules or with the chassis of
the car can result in a short-circuit and the destruction of the device.
• Flashovers from the modules to parts of the car electronics cannot happen as the
voltage of 300 Volt can not create sparks. A distance of 5 mm to all other electronic
components will eliminate any potential danger of damage.
Caution! High Voltage! Turn the device off before doing any servicing work
in the engine compartment! Wait at least 1 minute until the high voltage
has been reduced!
