Gardigo Marder-Schock Profi Notice D'utilisation page 11

5. Getting Start
The Gardigo Marder-Schock Profi is assembled in the engine compartment of the car.
The high voltage modules should be placed in areas where a marten will most likely
pass through. The device will automatically switch on when the ignition is off, and will
switch off when the ignition is on. The installation of the device should only be done
by a qualified person.
• 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.
• The Gardigo Marder-Schock Profi is installed in the engine compartment, make sure
that it is protected from spray water and dirt. It can be mounted with tapping screws
or cable ties. When installing make that the LED flashes [ ] at the top of the device
are not covered.
• Remove the fuse from the + cable [ ] when installing the device. This will protect
you from accidental short-circuits or electric shocks when touching the high volt mo-
dules.
• The cables should be installed in such a way that they do not connect to hot or moving
parts of the engine e.g. fans or exhaust pipes. Secure the cables by using cable ties.
• Connect the red cable [ ] with the plus (+) of your car battery and the brown cable [ ]
with the minus (–) of the battery or the chassis of the car.
• The grey cable [ ] should be connected to terminal 15 (switched 12 V e. g. ignition,
car radio) of the car battery. The device will automatically switch on when the ignition
is off and will switch off when the ignition is on.
Important: If your car has a CAN/BUS connect the cable to the fuse of terminal 15.
• If the connection to terminal 15 doesn't work or is not available, then it is also possible
to install the device in an area of the engine compartment which is subject to high
vibrations. The vibrations of the engine will switch the device automatically off. When
the engine is not running the device will automatically switch on after 60 seconds.
• Install the high-voltage modules [ ] in areas where marten is most likely to pass
by. The modules have holes in the corners with which they can be assembled in the
engine compartment, either with tapping screws or cable ties.
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 engine.
• A direct contact with the chassis of the car can result in a short-circuit and the de-
struction of the device.
