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.
