RB1 17
USING YOUR RAT BLASTER:
Certain animals are affected by different frequency settings and other factors
that you can change to repel the pests that are bothering you. The information
below should help you get the best results from your Rat Blaster.
DOGS:
Dogs respond best to the low frequency setting. This is due to the fact
that as they age, domestic dogs lose some of their high frequency hearing.
(That’s why Old Yeller doesn’t seem to hear me when I whistle for him!?!)
CATS:
Cats are best repelled using the high frequency setting. If you’re trying
to get rid of both dogs and cats at the same time, the medium or low setting
should be best.
FERAL CATS AND OTHER WILD ANIMALS:
Any setting may be useful
against a number of different wild animals because of their acute hearing.
COMMON GARDEN AND YARD PESTS:
These would include; rats, ferrets,
weasels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and woodchucks. The low frequency
setting works best on these types of critters.
DEER:
Deer respond best to the medium frequency setting. They can be
difficult to repel and keeping them out of your yard and garden may require
more diligence on your part. You should move your Rat Blaster around and
even change the height at which it is mounted. The frequency setting can also
be changed periodically when using the Rat Blaster to repel deer. A motion
sensor with its output applied to J2 is the most effective way to keep deer off
your property.
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL TRIGGER:
If you would like to trigger the RB1 externally, you may do so by using a 1/8
inch stereo plug and the external trigger input. The tip of the stereo plug should
be held high (disabling the unit) until switched or triggered low. By pulling pin 6
of U3:B low, the RB1 is enabled and will continue to generate the high
frequency signal until pin 6 is again pulled high. Be sure to use a stereo plug
only! A mono phono plug will short your +12 volt input to ground.
