No.
No.
Order a new power cable to LIPHATECH.
Approximately 60 mice.
The serial number of the CLASH ! is located on the product packaging or under the cover. It starts with PM, followed by 6 digits.
If the ramp has come loose from the CLASH !, you need to slightly extend it before being able to put the tabs back into their slots, at the entrance of the tunnel.
First of all, it’s normal for the ramp to come out of its housing when it experiences a shock : this mechanism prevents the ramp from breaking. You can attach an adhesive cable AEGIS under the ramp to secure it to the CLASH !.
You could purchase them from LIPHATECH (available in packs of 10 * 10 bags).

Even when the trap is activated, the LED remains off to save batteries. Press briefly :
- · If the CLASH ! is activated, the LED lights up (green, orange or red depending on the number of mice caught).
- · If the CLASH ! was turned off, the LED flashes in white and the trap performs a self-testing motion: Now it is activated.
No. To turn off the CLASH !, you need to press and hold the button until the LED lights up in white. You can then release it and the LED will gradually turn off: the trap is then deactivated.
Yes, although the whole point of CLASH ! is precisely to not use bait with active substances but simply a placebo.
The CLASH ! is safe for the user because the high voltage is coupled with low amperage.
Replace the bag :
1. Turn off the trap and open it.
2. Unclip the support piece, remove the full bag and close it.
3. Insert a new bag into the support piece and reclip it.
4. Close the trap and turn it back on.
Do a double click to reset the CLASH !.
1. If the indicator is always purple after a reset, change the batteries or plug the CLASH ! into the power outlet.
2. If the problem persists, remove the batteries, return the cover and check the tightness of the screws holding the plate under the hallway.
3. If none of these manipulations worked, head to the « I am experiencing technical issues » section (click here).
Press the CLASH ! button. The indicator lights up :
· Green : Between 0 and 5 mice
· Orange : Between 6 and 15 mice
· Red : Between 16 and 25 mice
When the bag contains 25 mice, the CLASH ! automatically turns off. The LED lights up in red and stay on. You must then replace the bag.
Press the CLASH ! button : what colour is the LED ?
· If the LED’s flashing in white, the trap is turns off. It is now activated.
· If the CLASH ! was activated :
1. Check that the access ramp hit the floor.
2. Make sure that the CLASH ! is positioned in a mouse traffic area, where traces of activity are visible.
3. Check that there is a placebo bait in the dedicated compartment.
Normally it’s not necessary because mice tend to be indoor. If you need to install it outdoors, always place it sheltered from the rain.
Only the electronic card and electonic components are manufactured in Asia, but they are assembled in France. Everything else (design, parts manufacturing, assembly) is done in France.

· Trap multi-capture CLASH !: the icon is green between 0 and 5 captures, it is becoming orange from 6 captured mice and red from 16 captured mice.
· For non-connecting stations, this configuration is done manually by the applicator based on their observations in the field.
· Regarding the exclamation point, it indicated the upload of a photo triggered automatically by the connected station. This means bait consumption or mousetrap triggering.
In the « Status » column, an exclamation point appears when there is no communication (loss of connection, battery failure, central hub disconnected) with the station.
An exclamation point appears in the trigger column when a photo taken automatically by the connected station is transmitted to AEGIS.CONNECT. This indicated that bait has been consumed, a mousetrap has been triggered, or the passage threshold has been reached.

1.Create the connected objects on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform starting with the hub.
2.Place them on the plan you have downloaded, approximately in the area where you intend to position them.
3.Go to the site to be protected to position the connected objects in the appropriate locations. First, plug in the hub and then turn on the connected objects.
4.You can now adjust the position of the connected objects on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform and start tracking.
This may be due to a brief network disconnection. Click on the « Reset » button to upload the reference photo. It may be take a few minutes before it appears on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform.
The station communicates with the hub every 2 hours to exchange various information : number of rodent passages, photo transmission, photo request, etc. If you trigger a manual snapshot, this one will be done and transmitted to the AEGIS.CONNECT platform upon the station / hub communication. The delay between your trigger request and the photo display is therefore a maximum of 2 hours.
