Product descriPtion
Pestwest flytraps are made using the highest quality materials.
the chameleon eXg has a total anti-corrosive construction including 304 brushed
stainless steel, marine grade aluminium alloy and a 7mm thick borosilicate glass
enclosure.
ratings and Approvals:
ce marked and certified to the european Directive 94/9/ec equipment intended for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
the chameleon eXg professional flytrap has been designed for installation in
designated hazardous environments and has been tested for compliance to the
highest standards applicable within the european community for this grade of
product. however the zoning classification for explosive environments requires
proper interpretation and each installation must be judged on its merits. Pestwest
electronics are able to provide upon request, copies of independent safety test
certificates applicable to this model, to enable a suitable assessment to be made for
a particular installation and no claims other than those therein identified on the
certificates are expressed or implied. it is the ultimate responsibility of the installer
to ensure that the chameleon eXg is suitable for a particular environment.
the chameleon eXg is suitable for Zone 1, Zone 21, Zone 2 and Zone 22 areas
where there may be potential for explosive atmospheres in the form of gases and
vapours or dust, i.e.: Alcohol distillery, sugar factories and flour mills. the chameleon
eXg also has an iP66 rating.
unPAcking your unit
each unit is carefully inspected and packed before leaving our factory. before
discarding the outer carton, examine for obvious evidence of transport damage.
remove the unit carefully and pay particular attention to the removal of all packing
materials including any transit packing.
Mode of oPerAtion
electrical flytraps operate on the principle that most flying insects are attracted to
light, particularly to the ultra violet (Uv) end of the light spectrum. this light is
invisible to humans, however the tubes glow blue which indicates that they are
functioning.
the efficiency of a trap can be affected by the intensity of other competing sources
of light, particularly daylight (see "siting").
since insects are still active and will fly at night (when competition from other light
sources is normally lowest), traps should be left operating continuously, i.e.: 24
hours a day.
siting
there are so many locations of possible use of fly traps that it is impossible to give
one set of recommendations to cover all requirements or situations. these general
guidelines are given in the knowledge that some of them apparently conflict with
others. Users should adopt those that best fit their needs or seek expert advice.
As a general rule:
electric fly traps should be positioned so as to minimise competition from other light
sources, so do not mount adjacent to windows.
in food areas, mount the trap close to, but not directly over, exposed food or food
preparation surfaces (preferably to attract flies away from food preparation areas).
observe where the flies tend to congregate and if possible, put your fly trap, in or
close to that area.
Position traps in an "interception" position from the principal point of fly entry -
normally doors and/or windows. in some cases, flies are more likely to come in
through the back door rather than the front, because that is where the refuse and
dustbins are kept.
mount the trap in a convenient location for changing the sticky board, and clear of
any traffic, such as fork lift trucks, which may use the area.
2
Position units where they can be reached as easily as possible and not over working
machinery where access may be difficult or dangerous.
coverAge
Areas of attraction of flies/coverage are given in the data sheet for each unit. it
should be noted that the brighter the surrounding light, the greater the number of
units which may be required for a given area. for general applications the
chameleon eXg will cover 120 m 2 .
instAllAtion
the chameleon eXg is designed to be wall-mounted vertically in industrial
premises, a wall-mounting bracket is supplied with the unit. Using the wall bracket
as a template, mark off the four fixing points on the mounting surface. screws and
plugs are provided to fix the bracket in place. if the wall is of plasterboard or stud
partition etc, suitable blind fixings must be used capable of taking the weight of the
unit and to ensure it is securely positioned. remove the sticky boards and move the
sticky board holders into a suitable position as not to obstruct installation. Align the
four hooks on the back of the chameleon eXg main bracket with the four holes on
the wall bracket and hook the chameleon eXg unit securely onto the bracket. Using
the m6 grub screw provided, permanently secure the unit to the wall-mounting
bracket by tightening by hand the grub screw through the hole in the centre of the
chameleon eXg main bracket. to do so, place either sticky board holder against the
wall or mounting surface and reach the hole for the grub screw from behind the
back of the unit.
the chameleon eXg is fitted with moveable sticky board holders that can be
positioned closer to the Uv light source to improve the catch performance of the
machine. this feature is also useful when installing the unit where wall space is
reduced or has obstructions. the sticky board holders are mounted on adjustable
friction hinges, in drafty environments it may be necessary to stiffen this movement.
this can easily be achieved by tightening the middle black adjusting screws on the
hinges with a pozi drive screwdriver.
the chameleon eXg will operate on any single phase electricity supply between
100v to 260v (50 or 60hz). the chameleon eXg is designed for permanent
installation directly into the buildings supply. ensure the power is isolated before
attempting installation. the cable must enter the unit via the m20 nickel-plated
brass cable gland, which has a fixing flange for cable of outside diameters 8.5-
15mm.
wArning - for looping wiring use only max 2.5mm cable

fig. 1
to gain access to the terminal block, remove the 4 screws that secure the terminal
box lid using a no 4 Allen wrench. connect the wiring to the terminal block as shown
above.
completely tighten the cable gland and re-fit the terminal box lid, ensuring the
gasket in the lid is fully home. ensure all four screws are fully tightened. ensure that
once installed, the power lead is adequately secured.
PrecAutions
All Pestwest traps are fully insulated, class i appliances, nevertheless, sensible
precautions should be observed: ensure the unit is properly earthed.
sWitcH off for 55 Minutes Before oPening. for immediate opening (no
waiting period), temperature classification becomes t3.
Do not allow the glue boards to become over-filled with dead insects. change at
regular intervals as required by the catch or at least every 8 weeks.
reneWing sticky BoArds
Due to insect contamination the sticky boards should be changed when full or at
least every eight weeks.
simply remove the used sticky boards from the machine by withdrawing them
sideways out of the unit. should it be necessary to retain the boards for reference
purposes, they may be dated and covered in clingfilm to facilitate storage.
remove the backing paper strips from the new sticky boards in a single swift
motion, otherwise they will tend to remain firmly attached. should this occur,
re-apply the peeled back section and repeat. insert the new glue boards between
the runners at the top and bottom either side of the unit, ensuring that they are
pushed fully home. the change is now complete.
MAintenAnce
to maintain the attractive appearance of the unit, it should be cleaned/wiped down as
often as required. Use a cloth dampened with water and detergent or a proprietary
cleaner. Do not use aggressive liquids/solvents or scouring pads or abrasives
to maintain peak effectiveness, change the boards when full or at least every 8
weeks.
the Uv tubes in electric flytraps should be changed at least once per year (preferably
at the onset of increased flying insect activity after the winter). in areas of high
ambient light or where strict control is necessary, replacement every 6 months will
offer improved performance. Defective tubes must be replaced immediately. never
use tubes other than the correct type and wattage specified by the manufacturer.
to ensure the best ingress protection of the enclosure, check the cover gasket and
change it periodically. check also the perfect weatherproofness of the cable in the
gland in the enclosure, completely tightened.
tuBes
tubes are most attractive to the target flying insects when less than one year old.
this is because the Uv light emitted by the tubes at a wavelength of 350-375
nanometres diminishes with use. light of this wavelength is invisible to the human
eye. the blue/violet coloured light, which we can see, is not at all representative of
the actual Uv light emissions. Daily switching on and off of the lamps results in an
even faster loss of the effective Uv emission.
therefore it is most effective to leave the tubes switched on continuously and to
change them at least once per year (preferably at the onset of increased flying insect
activity after the winter).
All chameleon eXg flytraps are fitted with Quantum Uv tubes coated with
fluoropolymer shatter resistant coating, as standard. Using fly control products
which are fitted with Quantum shatter resistant tubes with fluoropolymer coating as
standard, or as replacement parts provides the easiest and safest solution for
significantly reducing the risks of contamination from glass breakages.
uv tuBe rePlAceMent
tube type is Quantum 18 watt 24" (610mm) t8 shatterproof tubes.
the chameleon eXg is fitted with an "Automatic switch off on opening"
system. it should be noted that when servicing the chameleon eXg it is
recommended to disconnect the unit from the electricity supply prior to
opening the unit.
WArning! the chameleon eXg should be sWitcHed off for 55 Minutes
Before oPening. for immediate opening (no waiting period), temperature
classification becomes t3.
to gain access to the control gear and the tubes, the no3 Allen screw inside the red
interlock must be screwed in (clockwise) until it stops (cAUtion – Do not force
At the enD Position), using a no3 Allen wrench. (see figure 2).
note: the no3 Allen screw actuates the safety cut off switch inside the terminal box
of the chameleon eX g, which operates the lighting circuit. screwing the Allen screw
fully in, turns the lighting circuit off. Unscrewing the Allen screw fully out, turns the
lighting circuit on (see figure 2). there is no need to apply unnecessary force at
either position as this can damage the Allen screw.

now turn the interlock to the left so that it no longer obstructs the notches on the
threaded cover. (see figure 3). remove the threaded cover by turning it counter-
clockwise (see figure 4). (in some instances the use of a lever may facilitate the
opening of the cover). hold the gear tray with one hand and remove the stop pin with
a screwdriver caution - the gear tray will be free to drop out of the enclosure once
the stop pin has been removed (see figure 5). the terminal block will now need to
be removed from the fixed terminal block. firstly, unscrew the top centre screw as
seen in figure 6. caution – Do not remove this screw entirely, it is not necessary.
now simply pull away the terminal block from the fixed terminal block. the gear tray
can now be carefully removed from the enclosure.
once you have removed the gear tray you can now remove the tubes. grasp
the tube and rotate 90 degrees in either direction. After two or three clicks are
heard, the tube may be removed by sliding out of the lamp holders. fitting the new
tube is a reversal of the above procedure.
tube type is Quantum 18 watt 24" (610mm) t8 shatterproof tubes.
WArning - to avoid any over-heating inside the luminaire: replace systematically
the defect lamps
refitting tHe geAr trAy
to maintain the appropriate explosion proof ratings of the equipment, the chameleon
eXg must be maintained and inspected every year.
when refitting the gear tray it is necessary to remove the grease from the threads
of the cover and housing. verify that there is no solid or dust debris located in the
threads of the cover and housing. once thoroughly cleaned, apply a reasonable
amount of clear grease (Part number: 4grA00002s) to the threads of the cover and
housing. insert the gear tray back inside the enclosure and connect the terminal
block back onto the fixed terminal block. secure the terminal block by tightening the
top centre screw as before. Push the gear tray fully in and locate the stop pin back
into its original position. screw the cover back on fully and engage the red interlock
into 1 of the 3 notches on the cover. the no3 Allen screw inside the red interlock
must be free to unscrew into the hole in the red interlock. in order to secure the
cover, unscrew the no3 Allen screw fully out until it stops, do not force the screw at
the end position. the Allen screw should now be in a position to turn the lighting
circuit back on as well as prevent the red interlock moving, and hence, prevent the
cover unscrewing accidentally.
do not force on tHe locking screW At end of Position!
