CSI Division: 10296 / 10 81 13 MR-MANUFACTURER Bird Barrier America, Inc. manufactures Bird-Shock Flex-Track Flex-Track. It features high-grade stainless steel flat braid strips which are sewn onto a flexible, ultra-violet stabilized PVC plastic. The tracks are offered in fifty-foot lengths, and four colors: 1. Black, 2. Beige, 3. Gray and 4. Brick Red. The stainless steel braid is sewn to the PVC using “Tenara”, a lifetime-warranted expanded polytetrafluorcethylene (PTFE) thread. A solar or 110 voltcharge unit supplies the track with an intermittent pulse of high voltage, low amperage electricity. The pulse of electricity does not harm the bird; it simply conditions them not to return to that area. Heavily insulated, copper lead-out wire delivers the intermittent charge from the charge unit to the tracks. 
PR-PRODUCT PRESENTATION Bird-Shock Flex-Track electrified bird deterrent system is effective against all species of birds to deter them from loafing, roosting and nesting on ledges at all Pressure levels. Bird-Shock Flex-Track is recommended for High pressure situations (where birds are roosting or nesting generally). The track is glued to the surface and is connected Together using crimp-connectors. Tracks are installed on the leading edges of a ledge, or appropriately where determined necessary by the installer; based on bird species and bird pressure. The solar charge unit needs to face due South, so that it receives at least two hours of direct sun light a day. The110 volt charger needs to be out of the weather, an electrician maybe needed to install a junction box for this purpose. Workers and unsuspecting persons should be made aware that there is an electrified bird deterrent system in place so they are not caught off guard and terrified by touching the track system. Warning labels should be placed near the track in areas where people will possibly have contact with the track. Track UA-USES, APPLICATIONS Bird-Shock Flex-Track can be used to deter all types of birds from loafing, roosting and nesting on high pressure exposed ledges. The intermittent bursts of electric protects the ledge and conditions birds not to land in that area, causing the birds to take their business elsewhere. Bird-Shock Flex-Track can be used in combination to cover any width ledge, and up to 6 inches can be left unprotected between rows of track. The Bird-Shock Flex-Track system is not recommended to be installed in areas where children or unsuspecting workers can come into contact with the system. The Bird-Shock Flex-Track system is easy to install, all you need is a little electric knowledge. The track can not be identified from the ground when installed on a parapet wall. AI-ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION Finding a suitable location for the charge unit is required before installing the track system. Whenever possible, position the charger unit as near the starting point of the track as possible. Solar chargers must face due south to capture as much sunlight as possible while the 110 volt chargers should be installed out of the weather with no over-head obstructions or inside a closed area. After the tracks are installed, lead-out wire is connected from the charger to the track, which carries the bursts of electric from the charge unit to the track. Bird-Shock Flex-Track is installed to a ledge or wall with glue. Bird Barrier Bond (cure time 2-4 hours) will fasten the tracks to any clean, dry, stable surface. The 50' tracks are connected together by male/female connectors. Special instructions, that describe corners and other complex situations, are supplied with the product. MF-MATERIALS, FINISHES Bird-Shock Flex-Track track is made of ultra-violet stabilized PVC with two stainless steel braid-strips that are sewn together. The lead-out wire is custom made and is the only lead-out wire that should be used for a Bird-Shock Flex-Track installation due to the extra thick insulation. Charge units are made of durable plastic.
