COMPONENTS
In addition to the insecticide, there are two major components to the system: the Controller and the Nozzle Circuit. There are also Options that can be added to your system.
CONTROLLER
The Controller is the brain of the MistAway system. Inside a weatherproof enclosure you'll find a digital display with easy to use buttons that allows you to set, reset or confirm the timing and duration of the mist cycles.
The backup battery protects the settings if the power is interrupted and a panel door lock controls access. The Controller also provides tank level information to the user. A remote control is included with each system to mist in between scheduled mists or even turn the system off from inside the house and up to 300 feet away.
NOZZLE CIRCUIT
The nozzle circuit consists of our precision-engineered nozzles connected to nylon tubing installed around the perimeter of the area to be protected. The mist pattern is conical in shape and projects 8 - 10 ft from the nozzle tip. The nozzles are typically placed about 10 - 15 ft apart to ensure full coverage.
The nozzles themselves have a high engineering content. The tips are made of a high quality metal and weather well. The orifice has been designed to yield a very fine droplet size at our operating pressure. Because pyrethrins breakdown in ultraviolet light, black tubing is used where it will be exposed to sunlight. Clear or colored tubing may be used when it is not directly exposed, for example under the eaves of the house or buried underground. The tubing also may be painted to match its background.
OPTIONS
Agitator - The optional agitator on a drum system mixes the solution prior to each mist. Unless it is agitated, the insecticide tends to settle. The agitator keeps the insecticide from separating which allows for a consistent blend with each mist.
Zoning Kit - The optional zoning kit helps manage large installations. Like a sprinkler system, two separate nozzle circuits can be installed.
Wind Sensor - The optional wind sensor checks the wind speed several times just prior to a scheduled mist cycle
. If the wind is above a predetermined speed, the wind sensor will suspend that mist cycle and begin checking again prior to the next sceduled mist cycle.
