Thank you for purchasing this Contech product.

What you will need

Cautionary Reminders

Malfunctioning sprinklers carry an inherent risk of causing water damage to

your property. Mitigate your risks by limiting the amount of water available

to the unit (open valve 3/4 turn), employing good quality hoses and ensuring

your water pressure is within the normal operating range of the unit.

Intended to operate between 30 and 80 psi (2-5.5 Bar). Install a

pressure-reducing valve on tap if your water pressure exceeds 80 psi.

Opening your tap part way does NOT change the water pressure.

When pushing the stake into the ground, use the footstep at the hose

connection point. Do not push down or apply weight on the sensor

housing.

Before disconnecting the unit or the hose, always turn water off and

activate the unit with your hand to reduce line pressure in the hose.

To prevent damage from freezing water, take the ScareCrow inside

and remove the battery before the first winter frost.

Dust, dirt or hard water build-up on the white lens will limit sensitivity.

Keep the lens clean by wiping gently with a damp cloth.

The eye on the ScareCrow

decal may frighten small birds.

To minimize false triggering, avoid pointing at moving water, windy

areas and moving vehicles.

Sensitivity Knob

First, turn the sensitivity knob to 4 or 5.

Next, wave your hand in front of the sensor

lens. You should easily hear the Scarecrow's

internal water valve 'click' open, then 'click'

closed 3 seconds later. There is an 8-second

'reset' interval after the valve closes when

the sensor does not detect motion.

3. Check Scarecrow operation. (Dry test)

If you hear no "clicking", try a new battery. If the problem persists, call the

factory toll-free at 800-767-8658 for assistance or email suppor[email protected].

Setting Sensitivity

If you can hear the ScareCrow’s clicks from 10 meters (35 feet)

away, you do not need to turn on the water for this section. In a noisy

area where the audible clicks cannot be heard each time you move, please

turn the water on for setup purposes. If you decide to turn the water on for

your setup process, just point the water spray to one side to avoid getting wet.

1. Turn the sensitivity knob on.

Set the sensitivity knob high enough to see to target animal

when it is within reach of the 10 meter (35 foot) water spray, but not

beyond that point. It is not beneficial to sense animals or moving

objects outside the area you wish to protect.

2. Confirm sensing area.

The ScareCrow is most sensitive to

movement across the field of view.

Motion towards or away from the

sensor may not always trigger

the unit.

Start outside your desired coverage area and work your way inwards.

The ScareCrow’s sprinkler will activate once it detects you. Make

minor adjustments until you feel the ScareCrow will only trigger when

movement is detected inside the you wish to protect. After the 3 second

pulse of water, remain still for approximately 8 seconds after each

activation, while the ScareCrow resets itself. Repeat this process until you

have a good idea of the ScareCrow’s area of coverage at this setting.

3. Increase or decrease the ScareCrow’s sensitivity

Adjusting Water Coverage.

After you have set the ScareCrow’s sensitivity and positioned it securely

with its lens aimed at the desired area, use this section to help you adjust

the arc and distance of the ScareCrow’s water spray.

Make sure the water is turned OFF, then follow the steps below.

1. Position stem tabs to adjust sprinkler travel.

Position the stem tabs so the metal wire clip travels between these tabs

and faces the area to be sprayed. Stem tabs determine the arc range of

the ScareCrow from 0 to 300 degrees.

2. Adjust the distance of water spray

Raise or lower the water deflector dial to control the distance of the

water spray.

3. Turn the water ON and test from behind.

The ScareCrow should activate.

Adjust the arc and distance to

suit your needs.

How the ScareCrow Works

The ScareCrow protects any open area of the garden or yard that receives the

unwanted attention of animals. Its sprinkler directs water accurately up to

10 m (35 feet), protecting a 90 square meter (1000 sq. ft.) area. The ScareCrow

can see large animals farther away than it can small animals.

The ScareCrow uses a passive infrared sensor to see the temperature

difference between an animal and the background. However, if the animal and

the background are similar temperatures the ScareCrow will have difficulty

detecting movement.

When an animal or person moves into the field of

view, the ScareCrow notices the change and opens

an electronic valve to release a 3 second burst of

water through the sprinkler. The ScareCrow then

pauses for 8 seconds before resuming sensing. This pause creates an element

of randomness and unpredictability preventing animals from becoming used

to the device.

Sensing Area

The sensing area consists of several dozen alleyways through which an animal

must cross to be detected.

Animals like rabbits, cats and squirrels may cross under the sensor

alleys. The sensor will eventually see them. Larger animals and people

are seen the easiest.

The chart on page 4 shows suggested settings for various animals.

Sensitivity Auto Adjust

Nuisance or false triggering shortens battery life. When this happens the

ScareCrow will automatically reduce it’s sensitivity within five minutes

(except for a 1 hour period when the battery is first connected or sensor knob

is adjusted.) False activations are most noticeable during windy conditions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a problem no covered here, or if these suggestions don’t

solve your problem, please refer to the detailed Troubleshooting section of our

website at www.contech-inc.com or email us at [email protected] or

call us at 1.800.767.8658 / 1.250.413.3250

The ScareCrow seems to have erratic sensitivity.

This could be due to the ScareCrow’s auto adjust circuit. Turn the sensitivity

knob to the OFF (0) position for two seconds. This resets the auto adjust

circuit. If this does not work, ensure the ScareCrow’s lens is clean by wiping

it with a soft damp cloth.

The ScareCrow does not ‘see’ animals.

Re-aim the ScareCrow. Refer to figure 2 on page 6 of this manual. If this

does not work, ensure the ScareCrow’s lens is clean by wiping it with a soft

damp cloth.

The ScareCrow only ‘spits’ water or makes a“pinging” sound.

This indicates the battery is low or your water pressure is too high. Replace the

battery or add a pressure reducer to the water supply.

The ScareCrow leaks water through its sprinkler.

Debris is lodged in its fittings. Remove the sprinkler head and stake. Backflush

water through the valve in the sensor head to dislodge the debris.
