Segregated Collection

The Collection Bottle Rotator segregates the catch from any of our miniature mechanical or pheromone traps into 8 bottles over periods of time determined by a programmable timer. The design permits almost complete flexibility in the collection schedule which may range in total length from a few hours (or even minutes) to weeks. The collection inlet accommodates traps with outside diameters of up to 4 inches.

Programmable Timer

Model 4012 Timer on the Collection Bottle Rotator

The solid-state quartz-based programmable timer supplied with the Collection Bottle Rotator provides almost complete flexibility in the collection schedule. The time each collection bottle is open to the trap may range in from a few minutes up to one week with an accuracy of +/-4 minutes per year. It is also possible to have the same program of up to 8 on/off events to be scheduled for each day of the week.

The timer is supplied in an unbreakable and water-resistant polypropylene screw enclosure. An internal backup battery maintains the current date/time and switching program for several days without external power.
