Power Supply and Electricity The suction fan requires a power source of 9 to 12 V DC (max. 280 mA). An optional power supply unit (EU Version 220V input, 12V output) with fitting plug connection is available. There are also extension cords, battery mounting support cables, and extra plug connections available. - Page 7 Keep the traps out of strong wind. Strong winds not only deter the mosquitoes but can also affect the suction from the ventilator decreasing the catch rate. The BG-Sentinel is very stable and durable but also lightweight. To keep the trap from toppling over you can: Insert tent stakes into the holes in the side flaps.
- Page 8 Handling the Trap If for some reason you want to switch off the trap, first you need to remove and close the catch bag that is in use at the time. (See instructions below) This is because the funnel net only makes it difficult for mosquitoes to escape but not entirely impossible. Only a running fan ensures that the mosquitoes cannot escape from the catch bag.
