1.
Please prominently attach the included yellow warning sticker (3) in the engine compartment
(e.g. on the air filter housing).
2.
The unit is largely maintenance-free. Prolonged use may lead to contamination of the stainless steel contact
plates, which can cause the high voltage to break down (function control LED shuts off).
Corrective
measure: Open the slide contact (the device will turn itself off), wait approx. 3–5 minutes, then clean/
reattach the stainless steel contact plates (using cable ties) and close the slide contact again. Carefully check that
the stainless steel contact plates (2) are correctly installed in order to avoid a short circuit, for example due to
current leakage or the upper plus stainless steel contact plate coming into contact with an earthed part.
3.
It takes several seconds for the voltage to build up after the device is switched on. Once sufficient voltage is
available, the red function control LED will begin to blink.
Caution overvoltage protection!
When jump-starting, welding or quick-charging, please switch off the device!

Martens mark their territory with scent marks. Before fitting the device, the area to be protected – i.e. the engine com-
partment, underbody and wheel housing – must be thoroughly cleaned. We recommend using our STOP&GO odour
remover (item code
07503). It is also advisable to neutralise the parking area by cleaning it.
All units are checked prior to being dispatched. Please check again before
and negative battery cables directly to the car battery. The LED will briefly light up while the high voltage is building. On
opening the slide contact, the device switches itself off and the high voltage is interrupted. Movement or vibration of
the control device (e.g. running engine) causes a sensor to automatically switch off the device. If the function check is
successful but voltage fails to build up after installation, an installation error has occurred (see trouble shooting).
How the device works
This device works according to the electric fence principle to repel martens from the engine compartment. Six double
stainless steel contact plates installed in the engine compartment provide a safe but effective electric shock when
touched. The panic protection control gives the animal enough time to flee before the capacitor is recharged, thereby
avoiding any serious harm to the marten due to permanent electric shocks. Ultrasonic waves in the frequency range of
animal fear and warning cries signal extreme danger to the marten. The device features frequency modulation in order
to prevent habituation.

Please remove the fuse from the holder during installation. Install the
upper third of the engine
compartment so that the area of diffusion of the ultrasonic speaker is as large as possible and
the device is protected from excessive heat, water and dirt. We recommend positioning the device so that the area of
diffusion is directed downwards from above. For clarification: Imagine the area of diffusion is the beam of a torch, which
needs to illuminate the largest area possible. We recommend using the optional mounting bracket (item code 07599).
The positive battery cable with a fuse is connected to the unswitched terminal 30 or directly to a 12 V plus connection
(after or at the vehicle's fuse box) on the car battery. Connect the earth cable (–) to an original earthing point on the
vehicle body.
Lay the flat, two-core high-voltage
cable so that it remains unaffected by other components and functions in the engine
compartment. In particular, avoid sources of intense heat such as exhaust systems etc. Slide the stainless steel contact
plates (2) successively along the high-voltage cable to the desired positions in the upper third of the engine compart-
ment. Secure the contact plates to the cable core with the screws provided, using one on the front and one on the rear
side. Caution: We recommend that you first tighten the countersunk screw (5) on the lower, larger stainless steel contact
plate (minus) and then carefully tighten the oval-head screw (4) on the upper, smaller stainless steel contact plate (plus).
Install the stainless steel contact plates so that the large, earthed side always faces the vehicle. Ensure a safety clearance
of at least 10 mm from other live parts. For non-standard sized vehicles, such as SUVs, mobile homes and vans, we re-
commend that the six included stainless steel contact plates be supplemented with additional contact plates as needed
(expansion set item code 07507).
Once the device has been installed and the slide contact fully pushed in, the LED will blink once briefly. High voltage
starts to build up once the device is completely still. High voltage is achieved after ca. 30 seconds and indicated by a
regular blinking of the LED. If the LED blinks quickly for a few seconds and then stops altogether, this means the sensor
has detected vibration or movement and has switched off the device.
Please
note that once they have been secured to the cable, the stainless steel contact plates should not be removed and
repositioned elsewhere on the cable as this interrupts the flow of electricity.
We recommend installing the device, including the stainless steel contact plates, in the upper third of the engine com-
partment since martens, due to their burrowing behaviour, instinctively make their way up through the engine cavity.
Moreover, this facilitates installation and ensures that all of the components are better protected from dirt. Caution: The
plus stainless steel contact
plate on the front side must not touch any earthed parts. The minus stainless steel contact
plate on the rear side is allowed to touch earthed parts such as the vehicle body.
