Product catalog summary

Declaration of Conformity

The document includes a CE Declaration of Conformity for the GUARDIAN-2 Automatic Acoustic Scarecrow, manufactured by GEPAVAL, S.L., complying with the European Machinery Directive 89/392/CEE and its amendments.

Product Identification

  • Product Name: GUARDIAN-2 Acoustic Automatic Scarecrow
  • Patents: MO. 148.249, 141.456, 242.698
  • Manufacturer: GEPAVAL, S.L., Girona, Spain

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

Assembly

After unpacking, attach the cannon to the tripod using the square tube located at the lower part of the cannon. Remove the telescopic tube by gently turning the inner tube. Adjusting the length of the telescopic tube changes the intensity and range of the detonation sound, allowing customization of the protection area.

Gas Connection and Operation

1. Attach the general shutoff valve to the gas bottle (carboy).
2. Connect the pressure regulator to the shutoff valve.
3. Connect the frequency regulator to the pressure regulator.
4. Ensure no gas leaks are present in the entire setup.
5. Connect the gas outlet tube to the GUARDIAN-2 device.

Frequency Control

The frequency of detonations is controlled by the frequency regulator valve marked with (+) and (-) signs:
- Maximum (+) position (counterclockwise): detonations every 3 minutes.
- Maximum (-) position: detonations every 30 minutes.
The first three detonations may be weak; subsequent detonations reach approximately 120 decibels.
Adjust the valve between (+) and (-) to set the desired interval.

Starting and Stopping

To stop the device, close the general shutoff valve on the gas bottle.
To restart, open the valve; the device resumes operation with the previous sound and frequency settings.

Gas Type Recommendation

Use industrial propane gas, especially for temperatures below +8ºC, as butane is ineffective under low atmospheric pressure conditions.

Piezoelectric System

The device uses a piezoelectric ignition system with an expected lifespan of approximately 150,000 sparks, equating to 6-8 years of average use.

Maintenance

Every 15 days, grease the marked parts at the base of the device.
After long periods of inactivity, lubricate the firing axle and all moving parts with anti-corrosive grease, especially the sliding parts within the lever openings, as done at the factory.

Multilingual Instructions

The instructions are provided in multiple languages (Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Russian) ensuring accessibility for international users.

Critical Points and Best Practices

  • Ensure all gas connections are leak-free before operation.
  • Adjust the telescopic tube length to optimize sound intensity and protection range.
  • Use propane gas for reliable operation in cold climates.
  • Regular greasing every 15 days is essential for device longevity.
  • Piezoelectric ignition system has a finite lifespan; plan for replacement after 6-8 years.

DECLARACIÓN“ CE” DE CONFORMIDAD SOBRE MÁQUINAS (según la directiva 89/392/CEE, anexo II, sub A) Ctra. C 31 de Pals a Torroella Km. 343 Tel. +34 / 972 63 67 23 Fax. +34 / 972 66 74 08 E 17256 P A L S • (Girona) • Spain INSTRUCTIONS POUR SON USAGE ET SON ENTRETIEN Aprés déballage, emboiter le canon sur le trépied grâce au tube carré se trouvant sur la partie inférieure du canon. Retirer le tube téléscopique, en tournant doucement le tube intérieur. La longueur variable du tube téléscopique produit la variation des caractéristiques de l’intensite du son de la détonation. Elle permet aussi de régler la portée de la protection. Lorque le GUARDIAN-2 est prêt, poser le robinet général sur la bouteille de gaz, puis brancher le régulateur de pression au robinet général et ensuite brancher le régulateur de fréquence au régulateur de pression en s’assurant qu’il n’y a aucune fuite de gaz sur toute l’installation. Brancher le tuyau de sortie de gaz au GUARDIAN-2. Contrôl la fréquence des détonations: Ouvrir à fond le robinet géneral de la bouteille de gaz. La fréquence des détonations est réglée par le robinet régulateur de fréquence où figurent les signes (+) et (-). Dans la position maximale (+) (sens contraire aux aiguilles d’une montre), l’intervalle de temps est de 3 minutes entre chaque détonation. Il est de 30 minutes dans la position manimale (-). Les 3 premiéres détonations peuvent être faibles, mais les suivantes seront fortes, environ 120 décibels. Le réglage de la fréquence se fait en tournant le robinet entre (+) et (-) jusqu’á obtenir l’intervalle désiré. corresponde a las exigencias básicas de la directiva de la CE sobre máquinas Pour arrêter le fonctionnement du GUARDIAN-2, il suffit de fermer le robinet générale de la bouteille de gaz. (directiva “CE” 89/392/CEE, incluidas las modificaciones de la misma y la correspondiente transposición a la ley nacional) Pour la remise en marche, ouvrir le robinet général de la bouteille de gaz et le système reprendra son fonctionnement dans les mêmes données qu’avant arrêt. Il est recommandé d’opter pour le gaz industriel le propane, surtout pour une utilisation en temperature sous 8ºC positif. En effet, l’installation ne fonctionne pas avec le butane, en basse pression atmosphérique. www.gepaval.com e-mail: [email protected] DECLARAMOS QUE EL PRODUCTO: ESPANTAPÁJAROS ACÚSTICO AUTOMÁTICO EPOUVANTAIL ACOUSTIQUE AUTOMATIQUE ACUSTIC AUTOMATIC SCARE-CROW SPAVENTAPASSERI ACUSTICO AUTOMATICO ACUSTISCHE AUTOMATISCHE VOGELSCHEUCHE AVTOMATIHESKIJ AKUSTIHESKIJ OTPUGIVATEL: PTIC When you have unpacked the article connect the pipe to the tripod by means of the tripod by means of the square tube on the lower part of the pipe. Take out the telescopic tube, gently turning the inside tube. The different length of the telescopic tube produces the variation in intensity characteristics concerning the detonation sound. The length of the telescopique tube allows the range of protection to be adjusted. When the GUARDIAN-2 has been prepared, put the general shutoff cock the carboy in place and then connect the pressure regulator to the general shutoff cock and connect the frequency regulating tap to the pressure regulator and made sure that there is no gas leakage at any point in the regulation unit. Connect the gas outlet tube to the GUARDIAN-2. Frequency control of the detonation.- Open the general shutoff cock to the carboy to the maximum. The frequency of the detonations is graduated by the frequency regulating tap in which there are turning signs. In the maximum position in the (+) direction (anticlockwise), the frequency of the detonations is at 3 minute intervals, and in the maximum position in the (-) direction, the frequency of the detonations is at 30 minute intervals. The first three detonations may be weak but the following ones will be loud, approxilately 120 decibels. The frequency regulation is obtained by turning the tap in the required position between the signs (+) and (-). To stop the GUARDIAN-2 operating, it is sufficient to close the general shutoff cock on the carboy. To start the GUARDIAN-2 operating again, you only need to open the general shutoff cock to the carboy and the operation will automatically continue under the same conditions as previously stated with reference to sound and frequency. The use of industrial gas is recommended (propane) for temperatures below 8ºC positive, as butane does not work in low atmospherique conditions. Le systéme de piezo-électrique dont est pourvu le GUARDIAN-2 produit cent cinquante mille étincelles durant sa vie, ce qui représente une moyenne de 6 à 8 ans. The piezoelectric system with which the GUARDIAN-2 is equipped has a working life of about one hundred and fifty thousand sparks which means an average life of 6 to 8 years. Après une longue période d’arrêt, avant la remise en marche du “GUARDIAN-2”, graisser avec une graisse anticorrosive l’axe de tir, surtout la partie glissante dans les ouvertures du levier et toutes les parts mobiles de la machine (comme à la sortie d’usine). When the GUARDIAN-2 is put into operation after a long period without working the firing axle should be greased with anti-rust oil in the part sliding into the lever openings and all movable parts of the machine (as it leaves the factory).
