Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 3 Pest Connect Overview Pest Connect is a system that enables remote monitoring of devices. Data from sensors are sent to a Connect Control Panel. The Connect Control Panel establishes a secure connection to a central server where the data is entered into a database. Typical sensors that are used in the Pest Connect system are the Radar Connect mouse trap and the AutoGate Connect, shown below in Figure 1. A typical installation will have many sensors communicating to the Connect Control Panel. A single Control Panel can manage up to 300 sensors and where necessary multiple Control Panels could be deployed onto a site. In such a system if the sensors fail to connect to the Control Panel they will scan for alternative Control Panels to ensure high levels of connectivity. Radar Connect AutoGate Connect Figure 1: Connect System Overview Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 4 Product Description Radar is a stand alone, battery powered unit that has been designed to capture, kill and contain mice efficiently, hygienically and humanely. It is designed primarily for high risk customers, such as food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing and computer suites, where there is zero pest tolerance or conventional baiting is not allowed. However, the many product features of Radar make it suitable for a wide range of customers as it can operate in a variety of environments. Intruding mice are captured as soon as they are detected, immediately reducing the risk to the customer. They are then killed by concentrated release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air tight unit. CO2 is capable of killing mice extremely rapidly and is widely recognised as a humane method of control. The mouse is unconscious within 15-20 seconds and fatal levels are reached within 45 seconds of the units activation. Currently, under existing legislation, CO2 is approved for use as a rodenticide or exempt from registration in many countries. CO2 is being fully supported by Rentokil for this use under the European Biocidal Products Directive. Radar has been designed by Rentokil to exploit the travelling habits of mice as opposed to more traditional methods which target their feeding behaviours, e.g. baiting. Correctly installed units will typically be placed at wall / floor junctions, relying on a mouses natural curiosity and tendency to run against walls. Radar has two entrances, one at each end of the unit, to allow mice to run along its passageway. Two Infrared emitters are continuously pulsing light, which is reflected off the mouses fur, bouncing back to the Infrared detectors. This activates a circuit that immediately closes both entrances, trapping the mouse inside a tightly sealed chamber. Simultaneously, a pressurised canister is locked open to fill the unit with carbon dioxide. The customer is provided with 24/7 pest control and can be reassured that the product is both effective and humane, reducing the risk to their stock and premises. Radar signals the capture of a mouse sending a message to the Connect Control Panel and then Server. A technician will receive an alert and arrive promptly to empty, clean, service and reset the unit. Rigorous testing and quality controls have been implemented at every stage of the manufacturing process to ensure that Radar is a high quality product that is capable of supporting a high quality service proposition. Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 5 Product Functions The LongReach radio system ensures reliable connectivity over large distances to the control panels. Beacon signals are emitted from the Control Panels and so the Radar will connect to the Control Panel with the best connection but in an system with multiple Control Panels it will select an alternative if the connection to the initial one fails. It is important to recognise that in a linear chain of repeaters the system is only as good as the weakest link. One badly positioned Repeater can cause the loss of connection of all Sensors and Repeaters beyond it, so it is important to take time to be happy with the locations you have chosen. In general terms, Square sites tend to naturally provide multiple routes, whereas long, thin sites will require more care to ensure that there are no weak points in the system. The loss of connection to the radio system will cause Sensors to retry the connection and attempt to make a new one if it can. If connection continues to be unsuccessful the software automatically increases the time between attempts to conserve battery life. For normal usage the power consumption of the detector units is comparable to the standard Radar and MMU products therefore the recommendation is to replace all PestConnect installation detector batteries at 12 monthly intervals (all at the same time) to maximise the installed system performance. There are some system limitations that should be kept in mind, although typically should only occur in very large systems:
The maximum number of units that can be connected to a Control Panel is 300 and so if more devices are required then an additional control panel will be required. Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 6 Installation Radar units should be sited along wall / floor junctions, behind machinery and equipment, i.e. anywhere that bait boxes and mouse monitor units (MMUs) would normally be placed. Units should be secured with fixing brackets if possible to prevent the unit being accidentally moved, knocked or removed by unauthorised persons. The unit ideally should be sited where the LED is clearly visible to signal an activation. Environmental Restrictions Details Outdoor use Radar has been specifically designed for indoor applications only. The product is not suitable for outdoor use. High levels of surface water The system electronics can be damaged by water. Take care to locate units away from areas where local high pressure washing or hosing down operations are carried out. High levels of dust /
grease Knocking / kicking Extreme temperature
(<0C) It is important that units are kept clean, especially if installed in areas where high levels of dust or grease are present. Cleaning guidelines must be followed to prevent damage to the units. Care must be taken to locate units away from pedestrian traffic to avoid false activation. This can be prevented by mounting units on fixing brackets. Extremely low temperatures (i.e. unheated warehouses) could affect Radars performance and may result in the unit entering low battery status mode. High humidity (> 80%) or condensation High humidity and / or condensation could result in damage to the units control electronics and result in false activations. High levels of vibration High vibration due to localised machinery / fridge compressors etc could affect the performance of the unit and result in false activations. Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 7 Setup Open the Radar unit using the supplied key. (Figure 1) The unit is supplied with the battery fitted. Slide circuit board switch to ON the LED will be red. (Figure 2) Pass your finger across the first beam and the LED will flicker repeatedly. (Figure 3) Move your finger to the second beam within four seconds the solenoid will self test to complete check and the unit doors will close. If the Control Panel is operating and in range of the Radar then the LED will flash purple to indicate that the beacon signal is being received. After a short period* the LED will flash blue to indicate that it has successfully joined the network. If however there is no beacon signal within range then the LED will flash red at this point you should check that the Control Panel is powered otherwise an additional Control Panel could be required on the site. Once the Radar has joined the network, set the trigger by pressing the red door level down until it is locked under the blue catch. (Figure 4 & 5) Remove the blue safety pin from the CO2 canister and ensure the canister is within its expiry date before installing into the unit. (Figure 6 & 7) Locate the canister in position it should not need forcing. (Figure 8) Close the unit securely. (Figure 9) Note: If the canister resists the fittings, it is likely to be used and in need of disposal Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Figure 9
* The time taken to join the network will depend on which radio scheme is being used i.e. which country the units are deployed. In the European regions the join time should be less than 30 seconds but in North American and some Asian regions where frequency hopping protocol is used it could take a few minutes to join the network. Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 8 Setup (cont.) The LongReach enabled Control Panel should be powered before starting to install the sensors. Ensure that the LongReach network has started up by checking that the Network Symbol (shown below) is no longer flashing on the display. As each device joins the network the Number of Connected Devices shown will increment. Note: if the device is switched off it will remain in the device count for 3 hours or until the Control Panel is reset. It should be noted that messages are only sent every 15 minutes from a Radar device and so it could take up to this time for the messages to appear on the queue on the Control Panel. As the communication is encrypted the negotiation of the session can also take 15 minutes meaning that the initial message will take up to 30 minutes. Number of Queued Messages Network Symbol UTC Time Number of Sent Messages Number of Connected Devices Signal Strength Cellular Symbol Radio Check Mode It is possible to put the Radar into Radio Check mode where the signal strength is indicated by the colour of the flashing LED. To put the Radar into Radio Check Mode, switch on the Radar and wait for 10 seconds. The LED will be solid red for the first 10 seconds and then change to orange when Radio Check can start. Break the infrared beams (in the same way as the normal setup) to start the Radio Check. The LED will now flash each 2.7 seconds to indicate the state of the connection to the Control Panel with the following values:

Radar units should NOT be cleaned internally with water or wet cloths, or any form of spray cleaner. Externally the units can be cleaned with a dry cloth, and internally a dry cloth or dry soft brush only. Ensure that you wear protective gloves during the cleaning of the unit. Remove the dead mouse and dispose of it in accordance to standard protocol. Remove any external dirt, paying particular attention to any accumulated dirt on the underside of the unit. Clean the inside of the unit, cleaning any fur, urine, droppings, etc. Battery Change Alkaline batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local, national or state regulations, or recycled where such facilities exist. It is recommended that battery packs are replaced when there is a low battery alert for the device, or if the solenoid fails to activate during testing. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the Radar and disposed of as above. To replace the battery remove the label which holds it in place, remove the connector from the electronics board and remove the battery. Instruction Manual Connect Radar 2022 Version 4.0 (GSD-100549) Page 11 Changing CO2 Canister A new canister will need to be inserted every time the Radar unit is activated (please ensure a new canister is within the expiry date). After firing, the red wedge at the neck of the CO2 canister it is held inside by a ratchet that empties it completely. This ensures that empty canisters cannot be reused by mistake. Empty canisters are not classified as hazardous waste and can therefore be disposed of in accordance with local, national or state regulations, or recycled where such facilities exist. However, full canisters are classified as Hazardous Pesticide Waste and therefore MUST be discharged prior to disposal. The canisters should be discharged by holding the canister horizontally away from the body and pushing the trigger, thus dispensing the contents. It is recommended that CO2 canisters are replaced every 12 months, irrespective of use, to ensure that they are fit for purpose. Canisters that have been emptied should be marked as used by pressing a dent into the can as shown below. Note: This product contains a pressurised Carbon Dioxide (CO2) canister. It shall not be heated or incinerated.
