Method Of Operation; Electric Connection - Westfalia 73 63 22 Mode D'emploi

Method of Operation

 This marten shock scares martens away by two different
methods. One is an acoustic signal with a frequency of 12 kHz
±10 %, which is repeated every 22 seconds (±4 seconds). The
second method is the 6 high-voltage plates (4), which are
installed around the engine compartment and emit a 450 volt
electric shock when touched. The charge is provided by the
build-in capacitor.
 The 12 kHz sound which is extremely uncomfortable for
martens keeps them away from your vehicle. If the marten is
drawn into the engine compartment by strong olfactory mark, it
will be driven away by the high-voltage plates (4). The marten
will receive a painful, but non-lethal electric shock. While the
charge in the capacitor rebuilds, the marten has time to es-
cape from the engine compartment. This way the marten is not
kept in place and killed by the current.

Electric Connection

 The marten shock is connected directly to the car battery.
Connect the black cable to the plus terminal (5) and the brown
cable to the minus terminal (7). The grey cable is connected to
the ignition lock.
 The marten shock must be connected to a terminal which is
live while the ignition is turned on. This way, the unit turns on
when the ignition is turned off and turned off while the ignition
is turned on. This increases the lifetime of the unit, because
the unit is only powered while the car is parked and the engine
is off.
 The device must not be in operation while driving.
 The function of the unit is indicated by the activated control
LED (2) on the top of the unit.
 Vehicles with CAN/BUS system should be connected to
the grey wire of the fuse terminal 15.
