Positioning for the best results
1.
Determine the source of insects - they breed in wet and shaded areas.
2.
Place the CEP20 between the mosquito source and areas of human activity - as far away from people and
as close to the mosquitos as possible. Attention: Do not place the trap close to people as it attracts not
repels mosquitos.
3.
Place the trap in a location protected from direct rain and strong wind.
4.
Place the trap away from direct sunlight and hang it close to the ground or position directly on the ground
- if hanging do not exceed 40 - 60cm from the ground.
The CEP20 can be used indoors, but we strongly recommend not using the provided attractant as it will attract
mosquitos from the outside.
Maintenance
Empty the catch container at least once a week or when necessary. The container is located at the
bottom of the CEP20:
Turn the CEP20 OFF
Remove the catch container at the bottom of the unit - turn anticlockwise to release
Empty the contents and ensure it is clean to maintain sufficient airflow
Replace the catch container - turn clockwise to lock
Position the trap and it is now ready to use
Important Safety Instructions
1. Always Disconnect the CEP 20 from mains power when cleaning or emptying the container.
2. Never submerge or expose the trap to excess water.
3. Never use the trap if you have noticed any damage to the power cord, power supply or
connectors.
4. Do not place the trap in direct sunlight or rain.
5. Keep your fingers away from the fan.
6. Always keep the trap away from children.
Troubleshooting
UV light and fan not working - Ensure the CEP20 is connected to the mains correctly and is switched
on.
The fan is noisy or is blocked - Clean as recommended in “Maintenance”.
The UV light is not working - replace with a new one - replacements can be purchased.
The trap is on, but does not catch mosquitos - move it to another location and test for at least a
week.
Pay extra attention to the positioning of the trap in accordance with our recommendations. Also
ensure the trap is no higher than 40-60 cm from the ground and away from direct sunlight and rain.
