Cold Temperature Shutdown
The trap has a temperature sensor that can be used to automatically put the trap in a standby mode when the outdoor air
temperature and the trap temperature are both below a user selectable set point. Research has shown that there is very
little mosquito activity when the air temperature drops below 50°F (10°C). However, in some locations and with some mosquito
species, activity can continue at temperatures below 50°F (10°C). The trap has a user selectable cold temperature
shutdown point starting at 50°F (10°C) and incrementing down in increments of 5°F (2.8°C) to a minimum temperature of
30°F (-1°C). 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 (°F). Continuing 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 seconds; 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 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 is approximately 5°F
(2.8°C) 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.
