"Water Blaster Solar" Animal Deterrent
with built-in PIR motion detector
Dear customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of one of our quality products. Please read the instructions for use carefully prior to using
this product, and store them in a safe place.
1. Product description
The "Water Blaster Solar" animal deterrent drives away unwanted "visitors" to your garden or property with a harmless jet of
water.
When the built-in sensor detects movement within a range of up to 11 meters, the jet of water is activated for approximately
5 seconds. Most animals are disturbed by this jet of water and leave the monitored area.
Also, the clicking noise of the distribution valve that sounds when the jet of water is activated frightens the animals and
helps to drive them away safely. The jet of water is only reactivated when movement is once again detected. This ensures
high effectiveness with very low water consumption.
Repels small and large birds, dogs, cats, wild animals etc.
Particularly well suited for keeping herons away from ponds.

3. Power supply / commissioning
Inserting the batteries
1. Remove the sensor unit (B), the enclosed cover, the seal and the screws for the battery compartment from the
package.
2. Insert 4 new batteries, size "AA" mignon (we recommend NiMH 1.2V / 800 mAh), into the battery compartment (6) on
the bottom of the sensor unit. Ensure correct polarity as indicated.
3. Now insert the seal into the recess around the edge of the battery compartment and carefully secure the cover with the
help of the 4 screws. Ensure that the cover is properly sealed.
Battery replacement
1. Open the cover of the battery compartment (6) by loosening the 4 screws. Now insert four new batteries. Ensure correct
polarity as indicated.
2. Close the cover of the battery compartment with the help of the screws. Ensure that the cover is properly sealed.
Notice:
Batteries self-discharge during storage. This may mean that the full capacity is not available at first use, which can
result in a shortened service life. Furthermore, the recharge capacity of rechargeable batteries can decrease after
extended use.
Should the device fail to function properly, check the voltage of the installed batteries and replace them if required.
Attention: Important battery information
• Remove the batteries if you will not be using the device for an extended period of time.
Leaking batteries may permanently damage the device.
• Battery disposal information:
Batteries are subject to legal regulations. This means they have to be returned to the point of sale or brought to a public
collection centre for hazardous materials after use. Batteries may not be disposed of in regular household garbage, with
recyclable materials etc. Only put batteries into the used battery collection container after they are fully discharged, and
take precautions against short circuits (e.g. tape over the poles).

4. Commissioning
Sprinkler unit installation:
Screw the sprinkler unit (A) onto the thread on the top of the sensor housing (B).
Gently tightening the connection by hand is sufficient in order to prevent leaks.
Avoid using excessive force while tightening, since this may damage the threads.
Valve function:
A clicking noise is heard when the valve is active. In order to test the device, turn the sensitivity switch (7) on the back
of the sensor housing (B) clockwise to level 9. Now move your hand across the motion sensor (3) at the front. A
clicking noise should be heard.
The valve is opened and the clicking noise is heard for approximately 5 seconds. This is followed by a pause of
approximately 5 seconds before the sensor is reactivated. The pause prevents animals from becoming accustomed to
the device, which could be the case with continuous operation.
Ground anchor installation:
Now thread the ground anchor (D) onto the pipe (C) and attach it to the bottom of the sensor housing (B).
Please avoid using excessive force. Gently tightening the connection by hand is once again sufficient in order to
prevent leaks.
Now insert the ground anchor of the device into the soil, ensuring that the sprinkler faces in the direction from which
the device is to be activated. Avoid exerting excessive pressure on the housing while doing so, since this may cause
damage.
Settings:
Adjust the sensor sensitivity at the back (7) of the device:
Setting "0" The sensor is inactive
Setting "9" Detection range approximately 10 metres
Connect your garden hose to the connector on the ground anchor (4).
You do not have to turn on the water in order to adjust the device. (If the ambient noise level is too high to hear the
clicking sound of the valve, you may turn on the water in order to test the device.)
Move in front of the sensor (3) in order to determine the sensor detection range and adjust the sensor sensitivity on
the back of the device (7) until the desired range is achieved.
In order to adjust the distance covered by the jet of water, turn the adjustment wheel (8) on the top of the sprinkler
unit. (MIN. <-> MAX.)
The jet of water has a maximum range of up to 11 metres, depending on the water pressure.
(2 bar – approximately 7 m / 4 bar – approximately 9 m / 6 bar – approximately 10 m / 8 bar – approximately 11 m)
Now you can adjust the sprinkler jet angle by changing the spacing of the radius limiters (1). Spread them slightly so
that you can turn them more easily.
Position the limiters so that the metal bracket works between the two limiters and the sprinkler faces in the desired
direction. The further apart the limiters are, the wider the range covered by the sprinkler. During operation, the
sprinkler head can independently move back and forth between the limiters.
Now turn on the water. The device is ready to use.
Adjusting the jet of water:
Use the adjustment screw (9) to adjust the jet of water as follows:
Turn the screw out – "direct" jet of water / turn the screw in – "wide" jet of water.
If additional changes are required, repeat the preceding steps correspondingly.
Attention: To charge the batteries, put the device in a sunny location so that the solar panel can supply
sufficient energy to the batteries and the functionality of the device is not impaired due to
insufficient voltage.
In order to maintain sensor functionality, regularly clean the lens using a damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not leave the device outside when there is a risk of frost. Please remove the batteries prior to
storing the device.
