Setting Fuel-Saving Modes
The trap has the option to run 24/7 or in one of 4 Fuel-sav-
ing Modes which can extend the life of your propane tank.
The propane tank will last 21 days by operating your trap
24/7, which is recommended for the corresponding propane
usage expended based on the mode of operation.

The Fuel-Saving Mode of operation will stop the propane
use in the middle of the day & during the middle of the night.
Research has shown mosquito activity is typically lowest
during these time frames.
NOTE:
The "Smart Technology" system automatically
learns the cycles of day and night within a 24 hour
period while in the Fuel-Saving Mode. This system
uses a photo sensor to allow the trap to learn and
adjust shut downs based on the shift in sunrise and
sunset as seasons change.
Fuel-Saving Modes
1. Press the MODE button
to select the Gas Saver
Mode Setting.
2.
Every time the MODE button is pressed the Mode
will cycle through 1, 2, 3, 4, Off, 1, etc.
3. Mode 1 will shut down the trap 1 hour during the middle
of the day and 1 hour during the middle of the night
Modes 2, 3, and 4 correspond to 2, 3, and 4 hours
of shut down time respectively.
4.
To indicate the trap is in Fuel-Saver
Mode, the arrows will flash and
the green LED light will be off.
Additionally, the Sun element will
flash during the day and the Moon element will flash during
the night when the trap is in Fuel-Saving Mode. The fan
will continue to operate in the trap, at a reduced speed, to
prevent any escape of mosquitoes but will not capture any
additional mosquitoes during this time frame.
5. If the trap is set in the fuel-saving mode, the battery must
be disconnected and then reconnected every time the propane
tank is refilled. The battery disconnect is required to reset the
Fuel Saving timer.

below a user selectable set point. Research has shown that
there is very little mosquito activity when the air temperature

drops below 50ºF (10ºC). However, in some locations and with

some mosquito species, activity can continue at temperature

shutdown point starting at 50ºF (10ºC). The trap has a user
4 Hr
selectable cold temperature shutdown point starting at 50ºF
(10ºC) and incrementing down in increments of 5ºF (2.8ºC) to a
minumum temperature of 30ºF (-1ºC). The default setting on
the trap is no cold temperature shutdown.
To access the Cold Temperature Shutdown parameters, press
and hold the Mode button for at least 3 seconds until the Cold
Temperature Shutdown menu appears. Toggle through the
temperature choices by pressing the Mode button, beginning
with Off (blank) and then to 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 (ºF). Continue
to toggle the Mode button after 50 will return to Off (blank) and
then repeat the cycle. Once a temperature choice has been
made, stop pressing the Mode button; wait approximately 3 sec-
onds; and your temperature choice will be automatically saved.
If the trap is running (the word RUN is visible and the green LED
light is on), and a cold temperature shutdown value has been
Mode
selected, the trap will shut down when the air temperature and
the trap temperature has dropped below that set point. When the
trap is in the Cold Temperature Shutdown Mode the word COOL
and the Thermometer icon will flash. The trap will restart when
the temperature sensor indicates that the air temperature and
the trap temperature are approximately 5ºF (2.8ºC) above the
selected cold temperature shutdown value.
If the trap is in warm up mode when the temperature drops
below the selected set point, it will shut down, but it will not
restart automatically.
