4. Operating Principles (INSONUERIT Technology)
The RADARCAN PRO R-301 utilizes INSonuerit 3.0 technology, which employs a powerful emission of ultrasonic frequencies to combat various pests:
- Rodents (Rats and Mice): The ultrasonic emission creates an unbearable environment, making it impossible for them to remain in the coverage area due to their heightened hearing.
- Roaches: Ultrasounds affect the entire peripheral sensory system of roaches, driving them away from the area.
- Bats: Ultrasounds disrupt the guidance systems of bats, causing them to leave the vicinity.
This model operates silently, as ultrasounds are not audible to humans, ensuring no discomfort, odors, or sounds are produced. It deters these animals without harming them, offering a practical and hygienic pest control solution.

The RADARCAN PRO R-301 is designed for both indoor and outdoor (undercover) use. Due to its ultrasound technology, it is ideal for sensitive areas. Consider the following for optimal placement:
- Indoor Coverage: Effective for up to 6,000 sq ft, making it suitable for large spaces like living rooms, garages, warehouses, or professional kitchens.
- Sensitive Areas: Perfect for placement in pantries or kitchens where food is stored.
- Obstruction-Free: Ensure the device is placed in an open area, as ultrasound waves do not penetrate solid objects like walls or furniture.

- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the device with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Outdoor Use: If used outdoors, ensure the device is placed under cover to protect it from direct water exposure.
7. Troubleshooting Tips
If you are not observing immediate results, consider the following:
- Timeframe for Results: It can take up to 2-3 weeks for optimal results. Pests may initially become more active as they are disturbed before leaving the area.
- Obstructions: Ensure there are no objects blocking the path of the ultrasonic waves. Thick walls or large furniture can impede the effectiveness.
- Placement: Re-evaluate the placement of the device. It should be in an open area, ideally near where pest activity is observed.
- Interference: Do not combine the use of the repellent with poisons, as poisons are attractive to pests, counteracting the repellent's effect.
- Green LED: Confirm the green LED light is illuminated, indicating the device is powered on and functioning.
