Sureguard ScareCrow-360
...Parts Guide cont.
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.
