M5700N-VWZ A novelty in marten control -
waterproof contact plate-combined
according to IP65
incl. hood safety switch with immediate discharge
Waterproof according to IP65:
Up to now the entry zone of the marten could
only be secured to a limited extent as the
marten defense devices had to be installed in
the engine compartment protected against dirt
and splash water. Due to the achievement of
the protection class IP 65* (waterproof and dirt-
proof) at the control unit and contact plates, the
M5700N may now be mounted directly at the
animals' entrance openings towards the engine
compartment.
Deterrence by high-voltage, ultrasound and light
pulses:
This top device combines 3 mechanisms to
scare off martens: 6 encapsulated waterproof
loudspeakers emit loudly pulsating lifelike
sinusoidal ultrasonic sounds via large metal
membranes. This takes place at an irregularly
changing frequency, in order to avoid that the
marten gets accustomed. Simultaneously, the
membranes are loaded with high-voltage of
approx. 200 - 300 V and scare off the marten
in case of contact with an electric shock, which
is strong for martens. The electric shocks are
adjusted in such a manner that they chase
away the marten but do not kill it. 2 each =
12 pulsating light-emitting diodes at each
loudspeaker satellite irritate the nocturnal
animal in addition.
Further advantages:
Very low current consumption (below 10 mA) *
Suitable for CAN bus/hybrid * Built-in battery
monitor (disconnection in case of voltage drop to
below 11.5 V) * High sound pressure * Engine
hood switch for immediate discharge of the high-
voltage plates * Compact connector between
control unit and contact plates (facilitated
exchange and immediate discharge during
maintenance work) * Modern current-saving
microelectronics enable a small and compact
control unit, which may be easily installed. * e1
mark * Automatic switching on when the car is
parked. A connection to terminal 15 is no longer
necessary, which reduces the assembly costs
considerably!
Information on the function:
Martens find the produced ultrasonic sounds
very annoying and try to avoid them, if possible.
Should, nevertheless, a very aggressive marten
enter, it will get a strong strike when crawling
through the engine compartment if it touches one
of the installed high-voltage plates with the snout
or paws. It takes a short time then until the high-
voltage has built up again. During this time the
marten may escape. It will not be killed through
the electric shock.
Assembly instructions:
Please remove the fuse of the device from the
fuse holder during the assembly. The control unit
and loudspeaker satellites have to be fixed in the
engine compartment of the motor vehicle in such
a manner that they do not overheat due to a too
strong heat radiation (e.g. close to the exhaust
manifold) and may not be covered with a dirt
layer. The position should be chosen strategically
according to the entrance points and paths of the
marten. At the same time the loudspeakers should
P / K&K / M5700N-VWZ / 14030DI
be installed in such a way that the ultrasonic
metal membrane points as free as possible
to the places in the car at risk of being bitten.
device
Ultrasound extends as light. "Sound shadows"
due to obstacles limit the sphere of action. For this
reason, there is a total of 6 loudspeakers in order
to distribute the sound widely. The metal surfaces
of the loudspeakers should be mounted close to
conductive parts of the car but should not touch
them (minimum distance 10 mm) as the charged
high-voltage would be short-circuited in that case!
The cables of the control unit are connected
according to the circuit diagram (see above): The
negative cable is connected electroconductively
with the chassis of the vehicle (negative pole
12 V). The positive cable with the built-in fuse
holder is connected with the positive pole of the
electrical system of the car and the high-voltage
cable is adjusted to the engine hood switch using
the workshop equipment VAS 1978 and crimp
connector 000.979.942. In order to cause an
immediate discharge of the plates when opening,
the fastening screw of the switch must establish
an electrical connection with the chassis. If the
switch can only be fixed at plastic material: place
a screw eyelet below the screw and connect this
with the chassis via a cable.
A built-in automatic ensures that the marten
scarer only switches on when the motor is off.
Safety instructions: The cables have to be laid
in such a manner that they may not trigger any
short-circuits (the insulation will not be rubbed
through or melts due to intense heat). The system
should always be mounted in such a way that no
fire damage may occur in such cases.
Setting into operation:
The fuse which was removed from the fuse holder
before the assembly is inserted again.
FOR TESTING, KEEP THE ENGINE HOOD SWITCH
PRESSED WITH THE ENGINE HOOD OPEN.
If everything has been connected correctly and
the vehicle is in parking position, the high-voltage
builds up at the contact plates. Now nobody must
touch the charged loudspeakers! The LEDs on the
loudspeakers as well as the LEDs at the control
unit must flash. The device constantly checks the
presence of high-voltage and indicates this by the
LED marked accordingly. If you turn on the motor
now, the marten scarer must disconnect (LEDs
turn off).
Ultrasound is not audible to men. Also here the
operativeness is indicated by the flashing LED.
Please stick the included yellow warning
adhesive label in a well visible place in the
engine compartment (e.g. on the air filter case).
Hazard note for maintenance work
It is absolutely necessary to install the hood safety
switch! Otherwise the high-voltage would still be
present at the contact plates for up to 1 minute
after turning the device off by removing the fuse
or installation of another switch. The integrated
charging capacitor requires this time for the
discharge. During this time it may be dangerous
for ill persons or people at risk of shock if they
touch the car chassis and the metal surface of the
loudspeakers at the same time (electric shock):
You should point to this risk by fixing the warning
adhesive label in the engine compartment.
With built-in engine hood switch the high-voltage
plates are immediately volt-free when opening the
engine hood.

Intended use:
To chase away martens from motor vehicles or
rooms.
Check list for troubleshooting:
FOR TESTING, KEEP THE ENGINE HOOD SWITCH
PRESSED.
If the high-voltage control lamp does not flash, this
indicates that there is no more high-voltage. If the
LEDs flash, the marten scarer is switched on and
receives current. If the high-voltage LED does not
flash, there is probably a short-circuit between one
or several high-voltage metal loudspeaker domes
and the vehicle ground or an electroconductive
tube. It may also be humidity (splash or
condensation water), which short-circuits the
metal hood with the vehicle chassis (leakage
currents). Such mistakes should be corrected.
Then the high-voltage control lamp flashes again.
The LED marked with the loudspeaker symbol in
the control unit checks whether the ultrasonic
sound generator functions (flashes irregularly at
longer intervals).
Or the device has turned off because the motor
is running/the ignition is on. The automatic
switching on and off functions with a delay of
some seconds! When starting up for the first time,
it may happen that it takes up to 3 minutes until
the high-voltage has built up.
Are all contacts in the plug connector towards
the basic device straight? Or has a pin been bent
to the side by being plugged in crookedly? Has
the plug connector been assembled in the right
direction? (There is a latch nose on the side of the
plug connector.)
To be observed before installation – functional test:
All devices are carefully checked during and at the
end of production. Please repeat this test before
installation: Connect the earth cable with the
negative pole of the car battery and the positive
cable with the built-in fuse with the positive pole
of the car battery (while the motor is off). The high-
voltage satellites should lie on an insulating and
dry pad (cardboard, wood). Both light-emitting
diodes incorporated in the module should flash
shortly at an interval of 1 - 12 seconds after 3
minutes at the latest. Then the marten scarer is
okay and may be installed. Attention! The high-
voltage plates may still remain charged up to 1
minute after switching off. Please discharge at
first before the installation (see Instructions for
Use under "Maintenance work").
During the test please make sure not to touch the
high-voltage plates! If the device does not function
despite a positive test, this is clearly due to an
assembly error (see Assembly Instructions).
We provide a statutory guarantee for the device;
we do not assume any costs for assembly and
disassembly.
Instruction for releasing the contact plug:
To make it easier to open the plug, first of all push
both parts firmly into each other. Only then press
the strap down and pull apart both ends at the
same time.
General information:
If martens have already been in your vehicle,
the animals have certainly left scent marks. It is
absolutely necessary to neutralize these scent
marks before assembling the marten defense.
A thorough motor wash or the K&K scent mark
remover item no. 000300 are suitable for this
