MODE OF OPERATION

Electrical flytraps operate on the principle that most flying insects are attracted to light, particularly to the ultraviolet
(UV) end of the light spectrum. Since insects are still active and will fly at night, traps should be left operating 24 hours a
day.
SITING
The efficiency of the unit can be affected by the intensity of other light sources, e.g.: daylight.
Therefore, mount the unit where competition from other sources is minimised.
In food areas, mount close to, but not directly over, exposed food or preparation surfaces (preferably to attract flies away
from sensitive areas rather than attract towards them). Observe where the flies tend to congregate and if possible, put
your flytrap in or close to that area.
Site the units near where flies are likely to gain access, e.g.: doors and windows opening to the outside, especially
dustbin areas.
Position the trap where it can be easily reached; not over working machinery where access may be difficult or
dangerous.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

The units are supplied with a removable 2 metre input cable, terminated in a connector to match the local electricity
supply. The units operate from a 220-240V 50-60Hz supply. If it is necessary to extend the input cable, a competent
electrician must do this. Should a moulded-on plug be removed from the lead supplied, this must be disposed of
safely. Ensure that once installed, the power lead is adequately secured.
INSTALLATION
The Chameleon Qualis is designed to be wall mounted. The unit has four keyholes in the back panel to easily mount the
unit onto the wall.

To reduce UV light exposure to skin and particularly the eyes, PestWest recommends that the unit is mounted 1.8m
above the floor (measured from the lower edge of the unit). Also avoid mounting the unit in close proximity (less than
1m) from an area where people are working for extended periods.
