Configuration et installation

1. Alimentation de l'appareil :

The Catfree can be powered by a 9V battery or an optional AC power adapter.

  1. Installation de la batterie :
    1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device (refer to Image 2).
    2. Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment.
    3. Insérez une nouvelle pile 9V en respectant la polarité.
    4. Securely close the battery compartment cover to maintain weather resistance.
  2. AC Power Adapter (Optional):

    For continuous operation and increased signal intensity (up to 20% stronger), an optional AC power adapter can be used. Connect the adapter to the designated port on the device. The adapter is not included and must be purchased separately.

2. Recommandations de placement :

Optimal detection and effectiveness are achieved with correct placement.

  • Hauteur: Position the Catfree at cat height. This typically means placing it in the area where cats usually move.
  • Zone de détection : The device detects movement within a 100° arc up to 10 meters in front of it, and also detects objects 10° below its horizontal line.
  • Options de montage :
    • Installation au sol : Use the provided stake to plant the device firmly into the ground, such as in a flower bed or pot.
    • Montage mural : The device can also be fixed to a wall using the mounting slot on the back (refer to Image 2).
  • Évitez les obstacles : Ensure the motion sensor has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to protect. Obstacles like dense foliage or walls can reduce detection performance.

Mode d'emploi

  1. Activation : Once the battery is installed or the power adapter is connected, the device is active. There is no separate ON/OFF switch.
  2. Détection de mouvement : The integrated motion sensor continuously monitors the designated area.
  3. Ultrasonic Emission: When a cat enters the detection zone, the motion sensor triggers the device to emit a burst of ultrasonic sound (20-24 kHz). This sound is designed to be unpleasant for cats, encouraging them to leave the area.
  4. Inaudible to Humans: The ultrasonic frequency is typically beyond the range of human hearing, making the device discreet in operation.
  5. Indicateur LED : A small LED light on the device will illuminate when the 9V battery charge is low, indicating it's time for a replacement.

The Catfree operates automatically, providing continuous protection against feline intruders.

Entretien

  • Remplacement de la batterie : Replace the 9V battery when the low battery LED indicator illuminates. Ensure the battery compartment is sealed tightly after replacement.
  • Nettoyage: Periodically wipe the device, especially the motion sensor lens and speaker grille, with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
  • Chemin de détection clair : Regularly check that the motion sensor's line of sight is not obstructed by growing plants, leaves, or other objects.
  • Hivernage (facultatif) : While weatherproof, if you prefer to store the device during extreme winter conditions, remove the battery and store it in a dry place.

Dépannage

ProblèmeCause possibleSolution
Device does not seem to be working.

Cats are not deterred.
  • Incorrect placement (too low, too high, or obstructed).
  • Device is too far from the target area.
  • Some cats may be less sensitive to ultrasonic frequencies.
  • Battery is low (reduced signal strength).
  • Adjust placement to cat height and ensure a clear detection path.
  • Consider adding another unit for larger areas or using an AC adapter for increased signal strength.
  • Ensure the battery is fresh or use an AC adapter.
