Full details

FAQs

Does this adapter make the device waterproof?

No, the adapter provides power only. Ensure the power supply unit is kept in a dry, indoor location or a weatherproof exterior socket housing.

Can I use an extension cord with this adapter?

Yes, you can use a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension lead if the 10-meter cable is not sufficient to reach your power source.

Is the cable UV resistant?

The cable is designed for garden use, but we recommend shielding it from direct, prolonged sunlight and heavy mechanical damage to ensure longevity.

What happens if the cable is cut?

Do not attempt to repair the cable yourself. Discontinue use immediately to prevent shock hazards and contact the manufacturer for replacement options.

Does the adapter come with the unit?

No, the MA001 is sold as an accessory upgrade for existing Catwatch, Foxwatch, and Pestfree deterrent systems.

Troubleshooting

Deterrent unit does not trigger even when plugged in

Check the power supply connection to the wall outlet and ensure the jack is fully inserted into the device port.

Volume increase not noticeable

Verify the unit's sensitivity settings have not been adjusted down; the adapter maximizes the output potential but the unit controls determine the current volume level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increases deterrent volume output by 20% to 30%
  • Eliminates the need for recurring battery purchases
  • Provides reliable power for consistent operation
  • Long 10-meter cable length offers flexible placement options

Cons

  • Requires proximity to an electrical outlet
  • Cable must be protected if routed across high-traffic garden paths
  • Not intended for use with non-compatible garden electronics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply connect the adapter jack to the input port on your compatible deterrent unit and plug the transformer into a standard power outlet. Always use a weatherproof socket box if connecting to an outdoor supply. Compatibility covers: Catwatch, Foxwatch, Pestfree, Pestfree Plus, Catfree, and Pestcontroller models. Care instructions include keeping the transformer dry and regularly inspecting the 10-meter cable for any signs of fraying or damage caused by garden tools or wildlife. Ensure the connection point remains free of debris to maintain a solid electrical seal.
