How does the DUSK/DAWN® sensor work?
The DUSK/DAWN Sensor uses patent-pending technology that measures sunlight and knows exactly when it is dusk and dawn each day. Since these are the peak hours for mosquito activity, this automatic feature makes the Skeeter Defeater Automatic Dispenser a very special product. The sensor is very sensitive, so it’s important that you place the Dispenser in an area where it can receive direct sunlight throughout the day for proper measurements. Placing the unit in a shaded area may confuse the unit as to knowing exactly when it’s dusk or dawn. The sensor measures the light over a ten-minute span to account for any cloud coverage or other elements that may affect the lighting the unit receives. The Dispenser leverages a 5-hour lockout that prevents the Dispenser from spraying automatically more than once every 5 hours (although you can still use the remote control to manually fire the Dispenser at any time).
