Most
flying insects are phototropic (attracted to light).
Specifically, houseflies and other nuisance flying
insects are highly attracted to light energy in the near
ultraviolet (black light) spectrum. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Wavelengths
between 330 and 360 Nanometers
provide the best attraction. These wavelengths are
neither visible nor harmful to human... but are
extremely visible and attractive to flying insects. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
Insect-O-Cutor® method uses an ultra-high
intensity (UHI™) black light source to attract flying
insects to an electrified grid where they are killed
upon contact. The dead insects are then collected
in a drawer or tray for periodic inspection and disposal. |

Frequently
Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
What
types of insects are attracted to Insect-O-Cutors? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There
are very few types of flying insects which are not attracted
by near-ultraviolet light.
Thus, there are very few flying insects which are not attracted
to Insect-O-Cutors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How
large an area will an Insect-O-Cutor cover? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coverage
by a particular model depends upon many factors. Among these
factors are: types
of insects; competing light and other attractions; air temperature
and movement. A general rule
of thumb is to locate Insect-O-Cutors so that insects need not
be attracted more than 35 to 40 feet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do
Insect-O-Cutors meet O.S.H.A. requirements? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes,
when installed in accordance to Insect-O-Cutor recommendations
and specifications, and
in compliance with governing authorities, bureaus and agencies.
(In the U.S., refer to the current
edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
is the life of an Insect-O-Cutor unit? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fifteen,
twenty or more years... with proper maintenance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is
black light dangerous? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
near-ultraviolet light lamps used in Insect-O-Cutors peak at
357 Nanometers which is a
wavelength that is normally harmless to humans. This is a question
often asked because a number
of people have heard of ultraviolet "germicidal" lamps
used in air sterilization, purification and
disinfection fixtures. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During
what hours should Insect-O-Cutors operate? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insect-O-Cutors
should be allowed to operate twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week,
during the flying insect season. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How
long will the black light lamps last in an Insect-O-Cutor? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although
the lamps will continue to light for several years in many instances,
emission levels of near-
ultraviolet light will drop below acceptable levels after approximately
seven months of use. It is strongly
recommended by Insect-O-Cutor as well as the lamp manufacturers
that lamp replacement be made
on an annual basis. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is
there much maintenance required? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other
than lamp replacement (which should be performed at least annually),
Insect-O-Cutors
should be cleaned periodically. This constitutes brushing debris
from the grid kill area, emptying
the collection drawers, and wiping exterior surfaces with a
dampened cloth. |

| LIGHT
AND THE SPECTRUM |
|
HEALTH
AND SAFETY ISSUES |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insect
attraction lamps, like all lamps, emit energy in
the form of light. This energy is measured in wavelengths.
By determining wavelength measurements,
classification of different light types within the full light
spectrum is possible. |
|
The
primary health concerns most often associated
with ultraviolet light relate to skin irritation (erythema)
and eye irritation (conjunctivitis). Such irritations might
occur when an individual is exposed to light energy
emitted under 3200 nanometers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some
types of light energy classifications include:
InfraRed, Visible (sunlight), and Ultraviolet [UV]. |
|
Lamps
emitting energy below this wavelength are
within the Middle UV and Far UV ranges — and are
commonly referred to as “tanning lamps” and
“germicidal” lamps, respectively. |
|
|
|
Ultraviolet
energy is measured and defined by light
within a band between 4000 and 1000 Angstroms (400
and 100 nanometers). Within this band of the light
spectrum, ultraviolet energy is further classified into
four sections: Near UV [UVA], Middle UV [UVB], Far
UV [UVC] and Vacuum UV. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insect-O-Cutor®’s
Gold Label™ insect attraction lamps
emit light energy at 365 nanometers (UVA). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
While
UVA energy is well above the harmful UVB
range of energy (320 nanometers), certain thresholds
of exposure to UV light sources have been established
by OSHA to ensure personnel safety as related below: |
|
|
|
Insect-O-Cutor®
insect attraction lamps emit light energy
within the Ultraviolet band of the light spectrum, specifically
light in the Near UV range. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
range of energy
is measured by wavelengths
between 400
and 350 nanometers. |
|
|
|
|
|
150,000
hours — |
 |
|
|
of
continuous exposure
at a distance of twenty
feet (20') or 6.1 meters
from a light source; |
|
|
|
Regarding
flying insect
attraction, UVA
energy is most effective
at 365 nanometers.
This particular wave-
length is commonly
referred to as Black
Light. |
|
|
|
1,500
hours — |

(BLB) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
BL lamp produces most of its energy in the Near
UV range. However, a portion of the energy is outside the
UV range as the light spectrum enters the Visible Light
range. Note in the graph that visible light ranges from
Violet to Red. The lesser portion of the energy emitted
by the BL lamp is in the Blue Visible range. [This is what
we humans see as visible light.] |
|
|
|
|
|
SOURCES:
General Electric Lighting Company; Philips
Lighting; Sylvania GTE Products;
New England Journal of Medicine; Occupational
Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
BLB lamp produces its energy in the same
wavelength range that the BL lamp does. However,
the BLB lamp is constructed of special filtering
glass which reduces the passage of energy in the
visible light range between 4000 and 4600 Angstroms
(400 to 460 nanometers). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because
of this filtering of blue visible light, the lamp
does not have the light blue color that the BL lamp
does but instead appears as a blue/black color. |

LOCATION — ALL MODELS |
|
|
If
the exterior doors will be open
for prolonged periods during
hours of darkness, units should be
positioned at a 90° angle to the
doors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a)
Choose a location that will provide interception
of flying insects between the point of entry
into the
building and critical contamination areas
(use at
least one unit for each entry point). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b)
Place the unit a minimum of 10 to 15 feet (3-5
meters) from any exterior opening to minimize
the possibility of emitting insect attraction
light
out of any exterior opening. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DO
NOT PUT THE IOC® UNIT WHERE YOU
“DO NOT WANT THE INSECTS”. For instance, do not
put an IOC® unit on the far side of a production line or
other point of possible contamination, in relation to
the point of entry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
c)
Install the unit a minimum of 10 feet (3 meters)
from highly reflective surfaces. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
d)
Avoid setting unit near air currents from fans,
ducts, heat vents or other air movers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Locate
the unit between the product and the insect
entry point to intercept insects or lure insects from
critical areas. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
e)
Avoid placing equipment near high intensity
artificial light that might compete with
the unit’s black light attraction lamps. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
f)
REMEMBER: The process of insect
electrocution creates an electrical arc.
Contact Insect-O-Cutor® or one of its
representatives for assistance regarding
location of units in questionable areas. |
|
|
|
|
|
CAUTION:
|
|
|
NEVER
LOCATE A UNIT IN AN
EXPLOSION HAZARDOUS AREA.
|
|
| |
Examples:
Near areas where bulk flour,
sugar, grains, and other fine particles
(including dust) are present and/or airborne
in proximity to flammable gases,
oils, chemicals, and other igneous liquids;
near battery chargers; in surgical suites
and other medical areas where explosive
or flammable/combustible anaesthetic
agents are used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
maximum flying insect elimination, an IOC® System should
consist of Three Phases. Phase I units intercept insects at
immediate points of entry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Phase
II units, located between entry points and critical interior
areas, intercept insects at such places as firewall breaks and
along corridors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Phase
III units provide the final line of interception. In some
situations, units may be located within the critical area. [Critical
areas are those in which the least amount of flying insects
should
be found, if any.] |

TROUBLE
SHOOTING TIPS
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.
LAMP END DISCOLORATION |
|
3.
THE GRID ARCS CONSTANTLY |
|
|
|
|
|
a.
Discoloration of the lamp ends is normal in most cases
— and will not reduce lamp efficiency. |
|
|
|
|
a.
Inspect the electrical grid (please follow the |
|
|
procedure
described in Problem 2). If arc’ing
occurs at only one spot, shut off the electrical
current and clean the grid, making sure
the wires are not bent. |
|
|
|
|
| 2.
ONE OR BOTH LAMPS FAIL TO LIGHT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| a.
Verify lamp pins are properly seated in the |
|
|
|
lampholders.
Using a non-electrical conducting
safety tool (insulated screwdriver, etc.), arc the grid
by holding the tool briefly between two grid wires.
This usually will start/light the lamps. If not, proceed
with the steps below. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b.
Verify the line voltage. Line voltage above |
|
|
|
120
Volts may cause arc’ing, particularly in the
presence of high humidity/moisture. |
|
|
|
Note:
100-Ohm Resistors with installation
instructions are available from Insect-O-Cutor®.
Resistors may resolve spontaneous arc’ing
associated with environmental factors such as
humidity, etc. |
|
|
|
|
| b.
Check for loose wiring after disconnecting or |
|
|
|
shutting
off the electrical current to the unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| c.
Replace inoperable lamp(s) with new IOC® insect |
|
|
|
attraction
lamps. First review Step (d) below. |
|
|
|
|

THE LAMPS LIGHT — BUT THE GRID
DOES NOT ARC |
|
|
|
| d.
When replacing a black light insect attraction lamp |
|
|
that is not lit, follow the steps below to help prevent
burning out a new lamp unnecessarily: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a.
Turn off the electrical current to the unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
b.
Inspect the grid carefully. Remove any foreign |

|
|
|
material
(gum, paper clips, steel wool, etc.)
adhering to the grid which can create a short
circuit between two grid wires. |
|
2.
Remove the unlit lamp. |
|
|
|
3.
Remove the other lamp in the unit that is lit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c.
Two or more grid wires may be touching each |

Place the unlit lamp in the position from which
you have just removed the lit lamp. |

|
|
|
other
and causing a short circuit in the grid
(due to a special built-in safety shunt which
turns off the electrical current). In this instance
(unit already should have been turned off ),
separate and bend the grid wires apart with an
insulated tool . |
|
5.
Turn the unit on by closing the safety guard to
deactivate the interrupt switch and restore
electrical
current. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
the unlit lamp now lights, this indicates that the
ballasts in the first lamp position have possibly failed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
d.
Inspect the high-voltage lead-in wires and |
|
|
|
If
the unlit lamp does not light, insert an ordinary white
fluorescent lamp (of the same wattage) in the position
originally occupied by the unlit lamp. If this lamp glows
red briefly and then goes out… or if this lamp does not
light at all, the ballasts which power this lamp position
are defective. |
|
|
|
insulators.
Make sure the wires are securely
attached to the grid. Check the insulators for
evidence of shorting. |
|
|
|
|
e.
Turn on the unit to ascertain whether the |
|
|
problem
has been corrected. |
|
|
|
|
|
| e.
If you have confirmed that one or more |

|
the
grid still does not arc, it will be necessary to
replace the transformer. Refer to the IOC®
Replacement Parts List (separate sheet) for the
correct re-order information. |

|
|
|
DO
NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS INTO AN IOC® PRODUCT.
|
CAUTION:
Insect-O-Cutor® models are intended for use indoors only.
To avoid risk of fire or
electric shock, do not use where they may be exposed to direct
water or to direct sunlight
including roofed but open porches. Never install units near
explosion hazardous areas.
Refer to “Location Recommendations” above. |

5.
THE LAMPS DO NOT LIGHT — AND
THE GRID DOES NOT ARC.
|
|
6.
THE LAMPS OPERATE… THE GRID
FUNCTIONS — BUT INSECTS ARE
NOT ATTRACTED TO THE UNIT AS
WELL AS EXPECTED.
|
|
|
|
| a.
Inspect the unit to ensure that the safety guard is |
|
|
firmly
seated on the body/frame of the unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a.
Changes in heating, lighting, cooling or air currents |
|
Note:
Partial removal or improper positioning of
the guard will activate the safety interrupt switch.
Electrical current will remain off until the guard has
been replaced. |
|
|
|
|
may
have made the present unit location obsolete.
Or, changes in lighting or door openings may have
caused re-routing of insect flight paths. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
any of these situations, refer to the “Location
Recommendations” on the top of this manual. |
| b.
Make sure the mainswitch/circuit breaker is “on” |
|
|
|
or
that the unit is, in fact, plugged in. Many times, a
plug will be accidentally removed from its socket or
a mainswitch/circuit breaker will be thrown into the
“off” position. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b.
The lamps may be low in black light output. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insect-attracting
ultraviolet (UV) energy is produced
within a lamp by its phosphor, a dust-like coating.
Virtually all ultraviolet producing phosphors have
an effective life of only 7000 hours (or 9.5 months
of continuous use). |
|
|
|
|
| c.
Once you have verified that electrical current is |
|
|
|
flowing
to the unit and you note that the grid
still fails to arc, it will be necessary to check for any
loose wires. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Insect
attraction lamps should be replaced on an
annual basis — with genuine Insect-O-Cutor® insect
attraction lamps. After 7000 hours of operation,
visible light (detectable to the human eye) will
continue to be emitted. However, the lamp’s UV
emissions are 50% below original emission levels. |
|
|
|
|
|
Shut
off the electrical current to the unit and
inspect wiring. Reattach the grid lead-in wires if
disconnected. Turn the unit back on to determine if
the loose wiring has been located. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| d.
Check the line circuit for fuse/circuit breaker |

To
maintain insect-attracting effectiveness in light
traps, it is essential to replace insect attraction lamps
at least annually. |

|
|
|
|
|
| e.
If, after completing Steps (a) through (d) above, |
|
|
|
the
lamps still do not light and the grid still does not
arc, it may be necessary to replace the transformer
and lamp ballast(s). Refer to the IOC® Replacement
Parts List (separate sheet) for the correct re-order
information. |

us if any of the solutions outlined in these Trouble shooting
Tips fail to solve the problem(s). |
|
|
|
NOTE:
SHOULD YOU NOTICE INCREASED FLYING INSECT KILL IN PHASE III
UNITS
|
|
|
Phase
III units are positioned as the final line of flying insect
interception. Units in these areas act as monitors to
help gauge the efficiency of your IOC® system. Of all the
units operating in the system, Phase III equipment
should collect the least amount of insects. |
|
|
We
recommend that weekly catches be recorded, noting the amount
of insects collected as well as the type of
flying insects attracted and killed. Severe changes in these
recordings will warrant a closer inspection of your
facility’s integrated pest control programs. |
|
|
For
instance, a lower than normal insect kill denotes that an insect
electrocuting system is operating as expected. A
higher than normal insect kill warns that one or more problems
may exist in the insect elimination network. Examples: |
|
|
|
•
An exterior entry door (without benefit of an IOC® unit),
normally closed, now remains open for prolonged periods. |
|
•
One or more IOC® units have been unplugged or turned off
at the mainswitch for maintenance or cleaning,
and have not been returned to service. |
|
•
Transformers, ballasts, or lamps have failed in one or more
units, rendering them inoperable. |
|
•
An addition or expansion has been made to the facility that
requires additional IOC® units to complete the system. |
|
|
PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
|
|
To
obtain the highest possible level of flying insect elimination
and to ensure continued operational
efficiency, it is imperative that your Insect-O-Cutors®
be properly maintained . Please read this entire
manual before exercising any of the Preventative Maintenance
Procedures. Remember: disconnect the
electrical current to Insect-O-Cutor® units before beginning
repairs, maintenance or lamp replacement, etc. |
|
|
WEEKLY
|
|
•
Visually inspect units to determine that the black light lamps
are functioning.
• Using appropriate tools/devices, test unit electrical
grids for arc’ing activity.
• Replace any lamps that are burned out. If necessary,
replace any defective ballasts.
• Inspect, empty and clean the insect collection drawers
in all Insect-O-cutor® units at any time as safety may
dictate (i.e., when flying insect carcasses have
accumulated to an amount in excess of one inch
[or approximately 25 mm] ). |
|
|
MONTHLY
|
|
•
Inspect, empty and clean the insect collection drawers in all
units. Never permit insect carcasses to accumulate
to a depth of more than one inch (or approximately
25 mm). |
•
Clean the electrical grid with a non-metallic brush or broom.
Dust and dirt build-up insulates the grid wires,
allowing tiny insects to escape. Excessive
dust build-up may also create a fire hazard. |
•
Wipe the lamps with a dampened cloth. Any film or dust on the
attraction lamps will reduce black light emission
(flying insect attraction is directly proportional
to the amount of black light emission). |
•
Test the electrical grid to ensure that voltage is being attained
by arc’ing the grid with an appropriately
insulated tool . |
•
Wipe the surface of the unit with a dampened cloth whenever
dust and other particles detract from its appearance.
An Insect-O-Cutor® is an appliance that should
receive the same care and cleaning as other permanent fixtures. |
|
|
ANNUALLY
|
|
•
Replace all the lamps with genuine Insect-O-Cutor® Insect
Attraction Lamps. Each IOC® unit is equipped
with pretested black light lamps that will provide
the highest level of flying insect attraction. All lamps in
original
IOC® equipment are year-dated… exclusive
with the Insect-O-Cutor® product. |
