ON-TOP PRO2 - Instructions for Use
Instructions for use and maintenance - Please switch off machine before servicing
PROdUcT descRIPTION
All PestWest flytraps are made using the highest quality
materials. The bodywork is of conformal zintec steel
(rust-resistant) chassis with a polished aluminium reflec-
tor. The cover is matt aluminium and retains one PestWest
full-size sticky board. PestWest units are fitted with
Quantum BL tubes with Teflon® shatterproof coating as
standard. The lamps are powered by an electronic ballast
that is more energy efficient than a traditional magnetic
ballast, and being entirely automatic no separate starters
are required. Electronic ballasts also increase the operat-
ing life of fluorescent lamps.
The PestWest On-Top Pro2 unit is designed to fit into sus-
pended ceilings with tiles 24" x 24" / 600mm x 600mm.
UNPackINg yOUR UNIT
Each unit is carefully inspected and packed before leav-
ing our factory. Before discarding the outer carton, ex-
amine for obvious evidence of transport damage. Remove
the unit and pay particular attention to the removal of all
packing materials, before installing the unit.
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. Since insects are still
active and will fly at night, traps should be left operating
24 hours a day.
All PestWest units are guaranteed for 3-years (excluding
tubes and boards)
sITINg
The On-Top Pro2 has been designed with coffee making
equipment in mind and can be placed over such equip-
ment. However the following guidance should be taken
into consideration. Avoid installing the unit into high
ceilings over 3 metres.
The efficiency of the unit can be affected by the intensity
of other light sources, e.g.: daylight. Therefore, the unit
should be mounted where competition from other sources
is minimised.
In food areas, mount the unit close to, but not directly
over, exposed food or preparation surfaces (preferably
to attract flies away from sensitive areas rather than to-
wards 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, espe-
cially dustbin areas.
Position the trap where it can be easily reached and 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 elec-
tricity supply. The units operate from a 230-volt 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 unit is designed to fit into suspended ceilings with
tiles 24" x 24" / 600mm x 600mm. Remove a ceiling
panel after deciding which location best suits (see 'siting'
section). Ensure the ceiling framework is the correct cut
out size to retain the unit safely and securely. Also ensure
the framework is strong enough to take the weight of the
unit. Remove all protective film from the various metal
parts. Fit the unit into the suspended ceiling frame and
ensure it is properly located. Secure the power cord to a
firm surface prior to connecting to the supply. Once the
unit is correctly installed into the ceiling remove the back-
ing paper from the sticky board and place into the front
cover so that the glue is facing the lamps. Turn the unit
on by the power-on switch. Hinge the front cover back up
onto the two locating studs.
PRecaUTIONs
All PestWest traps are fully insulated, Class I appliances,
nevertheless, sensible precautions should be observed:
- Do not install where dangerous concentrations of flam-
mable gases or dusts are likely to occur.
- Ensure the unit is properly earthed.
- Avoid working on the machines whilst they are still con-
nected to the mains.
- Ensure that operators have adequate and secure work-
ing platform, when working on the machines.
- Do not allow the glue board to become over-filled with
dead insects. Change at regular intervals as required by
the catch or at least every 6-8 weeks. Ensure PestWest
glue boards are fitted as replacement.
- PestWest traps are designed for indoor use and are not
rain-proofed. If used outside, this should only be in dry
areas and in a position where the unit and the electrical
connections are fully protected against rain and moisture.
cleaNINg aNd MaINTeNaNce
To maintain the attractive appearance of the units,
wipe down and clean as often as required. Use a cloth
dampened with water and detergent or a proprietary
cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or abrasives. The UV
tubes in electric fly traps should be changed at least
once per year, to maintain maximum efficiency replace
with Quantum BL 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.
Daily switching on and off of the lamps results in an even
faster loss of the effective UV emission.
Therefore leave the tubes switched on continuously and
change them at least once per year (preferably at the
onset of increased flight activity after the winter).
PestWest offer both standard tubes and shatterproof
(coated) Quantum BL tubes. The shatterproof tube is
intended for use in glass exclusion zones. The coating on
tubes supplied by PestWest is of the highest quality avail-
able, using a material, FEP that is both UV and operating
temperature tolerant, whilst allowing high emissions of
the critical UV light. Replacements should be of similar
performance.
ReNewINg sTIcky BOaRd
Switch off the machine before servicing. Sticky boards
should be changed when full or at least every 6-8 weeks.
Regular inspections of the sticky boards are recommend-
ed, as they are not visible in normal operation.
Unclip the front cover from the switch side and let it hinge
downwards. Ensure PestWest glue boards are used as
replacements.
Remove the old sticky board by lifting it out of the cover.
Remove the backing paper from the new board and place
it into position on the cover, sticky side up. Replacing the
cover is the opposite procedure to removal.

chaNgINg The TUBes - ON TOP PRO2
Switch off the machine before servicing. Unclip the front
cover from the switch side and let it hinge downwards.
Grasp and rotate each tube 90° until the 2 clicks are
heard. The tubes may then be withdrawn by sliding out
of the lamp holders. Replacing the cover is the opposite
procedure to removal.
