Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the effectiveness of the Super BirdXPeller PRO. The system consists of a central control unit and four satellite speakers.
1. Control Unit Placement
The control unit measures 9" x 9" x 5.25" and should be mounted in a secure, accessible location, protected from extreme weather conditions if possible, although it is designed to be weather-resistant. Ensure it is within reach of a power outlet.
2. Speaker Placement
Each speaker measures 4" x 4" x 6" and comes with 100 feet of wire, allowing for flexible placement. Strategically position the four speakers to maximize coverage of the desired area (up to 6 acres). Speakers should be mounted facing the areas where birds are most problematic. Consider mounting them on poles, walls, or other elevated structures to ensure sound dispersion.
