SCATTER-FREE
GLUEBOARD FLYTRAPS

WALL MOUNT & SCONCE MODELS
WALL MOUNT MODELS GB18 & GB36
Most flying insects are phototropic (attracted to light). Specifically,
houseflies and other nuisance flying insects are highly
attracted to light energy in the near ultraviolet (black
light) spectrum.		 glueboard flytraps
Wavelengths between 330 and 360 Nanometers
provide the best attraction. These wavelengths are
neither visible nor harmful to human... but are
extremely visible and attractive to flying insects.
GUARDIAN® MODEL GB18
Guardian Wall Mount Glueboard Fly Traps are ideal for
areas where other insect control devices are inadequate
or not allowed due to the proximity of open foods and
food preparation areas.
glueboard flytraps PERFECT FOR —

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of insects are attracted to Insect-O-Cutors?
There are very few types of flying insects which are not attracted by near-ultraviolet light.
Thus, there are very few flying insects which are not attracted to Insect-O-Cutors.
How large an area will an Insect-O-Cutor cover?
Coverage by a particular model depends upon many factors. Among these factors are: types
of insects; competing light and other attractions; air temperature and movement. A general rule
of thumb is to locate Insect-O-Cutors so that insects need not be attracted more than 35 to 40 feet.
Do Insect-O-Cutors meet O.S.H.A. requirements?
Yes, when installed in accordance to Insect-O-Cutor recommendations and specifications, and
in compliance with governing authorities, bureaus and agencies. (In the U.S., refer to the current
edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
What is the life of an Insect-O-Cutor unit?
Fifteen, twenty or more years... with proper maintenance.
Is black light dangerous?
The near-ultraviolet light lamps used in Insect-O-Cutors peak at 357 Nanometers which is a
wavelength that is normally harmless to humans. This is a question often asked because a number
of people have heard of ultraviolet "germicidal" lamps used in air sterilization, purification and
disinfection fixtures.
During what hours should Insect-O-Cutors operate?
Insect-O-Cutors should be allowed to operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week,
during the flying insect season.
How long will the black light lamps last in an Insect-O-Cutor?
Although the lamps will continue to light for several years in many instances, emission levels of near-
ultraviolet light will drop below acceptable levels after approximately seven months of use. It is strongly
recommended by Insect-O-Cutor as well as the lamp manufacturers that lamp replacement be made
on an annual basis.
Is there much maintenance required?
Other than lamp replacement (which should be performed at least annually), Insect-O-Cutors
should be cleaned periodically. This constitutes brushing debris from the grid kill area, emptying
the collection drawers, and wiping exterior surfaces with a dampened cloth.
ABOUT BLACK LIGHT
LIGHT AND THE SPECTRUM HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES
Insect attraction lamps, like all lamps, emit energy in
the form of light. This energy is measured in wavelengths.
By determining wavelength measurements,
classification of different light types within the full light
spectrum is possible.		 The primary health concerns most often associated
with ultraviolet light relate to skin irritation (erythema)
and eye irritation (conjunctivitis). Such irritations might
occur when an individual is exposed to light energy
emitted under 3200 nanometers.
Some types of light energy classifications include:
InfraRed, Visible (sunlight), and Ultraviolet [UV].		 Lamps emitting energy below this wavelength are
within the Middle UV and Far UV ranges — and are
commonly referred to as “tanning lamps” and
“germicidal” lamps, respectively.
Ultraviolet energy is measured and defined by light
within a band between 4000 and 1000 Angstroms (400
and 100 nanometers). Within this band of the light
spectrum, ultraviolet energy is further classified into
four sections: Near UV [UVA], Middle UV [UVB], Far
UV [UVC] and Vacuum UV.
Insect-O-Cutor®’s Gold Label™ insect attraction lamps
emit light energy at 365 nanometers (UVA).
While UVA energy is well above the harmful UVB
range of energy (320 nanometers), certain thresholds
of exposure to UV light sources have been established
by OSHA to ensure personnel safety as related below:
Insect-O-Cutor® insect attraction lamps emit light energy
within the Ultraviolet band of the light spectrum, specifically
light in the Near UV range.
This range of energy
is measured by wavelengths
between 400
and 350 nanometers.		 150,000 hours —
of continuous exposure
at a distance of twenty
feet (20') or 6.1 meters
from a light source;
Regarding flying insect
attraction, UVA
energy is most effective
at 365 nanometers.
This particular wave-
length is commonly
referred to as Black
Light.
1,500 hours —
of continuous exposure
at a distance of six
feet (6') or 1.83
meters from a light
source;
Forty (40) hours —
of continuous exposure
at a distance of one
foot (.3048 meter)
from a light source.
BLACK LIGHT (BL)
AND BLACK
LIGHT BLUE
(BLB)
The BL lamp produces most of its energy in the Near
UV range. However, a portion of the energy is outside the
UV range as the light spectrum enters the Visible Light
range. Note in the graph that visible light ranges from
Violet to Red. The lesser portion of the energy emitted
by the BL lamp is in the Blue Visible range. [This is what
we humans see as visible light.]
SOURCES:
General Electric Lighting Company; Philips
Lighting; Sylvania GTE Products;
New England Journal of Medicine; Occupational
Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).
The BLB lamp produces its energy in the same
wavelength range that the BL lamp does. However,
the BLB lamp is constructed of special filtering
glass which reduces the passage of energy in the
visible light range between 4000 and 4600 Angstroms
(400 to 460 nanometers).
Because of this filtering of blue visible light, the lamp
does not have the light blue color that the BL lamp
does but instead appears as a blue/black color.

INSECT-O-CUTOR® DESIGN FEATURES
SAFETY INTERRUPT SWITCH
SAFETY GUARD FLANGE
Partial or complete removal of the guard will activate
the safety interrupt switch; electrical current to the
unit will be automatically shut off. Electrical current
will remain off until the guard has been replaced in
its original seated position on the unit’s bodyframe.		 Series 3692, 3694, 4889, 4899, and 894 are equipped
with a metal safety guard flange to act as a retainer
which allows authorized personnel to prop the guard
open for maintenance/service.
BLACK LIGHT LAMPS
PROTECTIVE GUARDS
IOC® units are shipped with the lamps in place. Certain
models are shipped with cardboard lamp supports to
prevent breakage in transit; remove and discard these
lamp supports prior to use.
The front guard on hanging/overhead suspended
models and the entire guard panel of wall mount
models must fit snugly to the unit’s bodyframe in order
for the unit to function. See “Safety Interrupt Switch”
above.
Note: Tape securing lamp ends to lampholders must
be removed and discarded prior to use.
Firm pressure should be applied to the guard when
replacing it into an operating position so that the
interlocking fasteners join.
COLLECTION DRAWERS
Insect collection drawers are packed inside some units.
These drawers should be periodically removed to
inspect and discard collected insect carcasses.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
1. LAMP END DISCOLORATION 3. THE GRID ARCS CONSTANTLY
a. Discoloration of the lamp ends is normal in most cases
— and will not reduce lamp efficiency.
a. Inspect the electrical grid (please follow the
procedure described in Problem 2). If arc’ing
occurs at only one spot, shut off the electrical
current and clean the grid, making sure
the wires are not bent.
2. ONE OR BOTH LAMPS FAIL TO LIGHT
a. Verify lamp pins are properly seated in the
lampholders. Using a non-electrical conducting
safety tool (insulated screwdriver, etc.), arc the grid
by holding the tool briefly between two grid wires.
This usually will start/light the lamps. If not, proceed
with the steps below.
b. Verify the line voltage. Line voltage above
120 Volts may cause arc’ing, particularly in the
presence of high humidity/moisture.
Note: 100-Ohm Resistors with installation
instructions are available from Insect-O-Cutor®.
Resistors may resolve spontaneous arc’ing
associated with environmental factors such as
humidity, etc.
b. Check for loose wiring after disconnecting or
shutting off the electrical current to the unit.
c. Replace inoperable lamp(s) with new IOC® insect
attraction lamps. First review Step (d) below.
4. THE LAMPS LIGHT — BUT THE GRID
    DOES NOT ARC
d. When replacing a black light insect attraction lamp
that is not lit, follow the steps below to help prevent
burning out a new lamp unnecessarily:
a. Turn off the electrical current to the unit.
b. Inspect the grid carefully. Remove any foreign

circuit between two grid wires.
2. Remove the unlit lamp.
3. Remove the other lamp in the unit that is lit.
c. Two or more grid wires may be touching each

other and causing a short circuit in the grid
(due to a special built-in safety shunt which
turns off the electrical current). In this instance
(unit already should have been turned off ),
separate and bend the grid wires apart with an
insulated tool .
5. Turn the unit on by closing the safety guard to
    deactivate the interrupt switch and restore electrical
    current.
If the unlit lamp now lights, this indicates that the
ballasts in the first lamp position have possibly failed.
d. Inspect the high-voltage lead-in wires and
If the unlit lamp does not light, insert an ordinary white
fluorescent lamp (of the same wattage) in the position
originally occupied by the unlit lamp. If this lamp glows
red briefly and then goes out… or if this lamp does not
light at all, the ballasts which power this lamp position
are defective.
insulators. Make sure the wires are securely
attached to the grid. Check the insulators for
evidence of shorting.
e. Turn on the unit to ascertain whether the
problem has been corrected.
e. If you have confirmed that one or more

the grid still does not arc, it will be necessary to
replace the transformer. Refer to the IOC®
Replacement Parts List (separate sheet) for the
correct re-order information.
DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS INTO AN IOC® PRODUCT.
CAUTION: Insect-O-Cutor® models are intended for use indoors only. To avoid risk of fire or
electric shock, do not use where they may be exposed to direct water or to direct sunlight
including roofed but open porches. Never install units near explosion hazardous areas.
Refer to “Location Recommendations” above.
5. THE LAMPS DO NOT LIGHT — AND
THE GRID DOES NOT ARC.
6. THE LAMPS OPERATE… THE GRID
FUNCTIONS — BUT INSECTS ARE
NOT ATTRACTED TO THE UNIT AS
WELL AS EXPECTED.
a. Inspect the unit to ensure that the safety guard is
firmly seated on the body/frame of the unit.
a. Changes in heating, lighting, cooling or air currents
Note: Partial removal or improper positioning of
the guard will activate the safety interrupt switch.
Electrical current will remain off until the guard has
been replaced.
may have made the present unit location obsolete.
Or, changes in lighting or door openings may have
caused re-routing of insect flight paths.
In any of these situations, refer to the “Location
Recommendations” on the top of this manual.
b. Make sure the mainswitch/circuit breaker is “on”
or that the unit is, in fact, plugged in. Many times, a
plug will be accidentally removed from its socket or
a mainswitch/circuit breaker will be thrown into the
“off” position.
b. The lamps may be low in black light output.
Insect-attracting ultraviolet (UV) energy is produced
within a lamp by its phosphor, a dust-like coating.
Virtually all ultraviolet producing phosphors have
an effective life of only 7000 hours (or 9.5 months
of continuous use).
c. Once you have verified that electrical current is
flowing to the unit and you note that the grid
still fails to arc, it will be necessary to check for any
loose wires.
Insect attraction lamps should be replaced on an
annual basis — with genuine Insect-O-Cutor® insect
attraction lamps. After 7000 hours of operation,
visible light (detectable to the human eye) will
continue to be emitted. However, the lamp’s UV
emissions are 50% below original emission levels.
Shut off the electrical current to the unit and
inspect wiring. Reattach the grid lead-in wires if
disconnected. Turn the unit back on to determine if
the loose wiring has been located.
d. Check the line circuit for fuse/circuit breaker
To maintain insect-attracting effectiveness in light
traps, it is essential to replace insect attraction lamps
at least annually.
failure.
e. If, after completing Steps (a) through (d) above,
the lamps still do not light and the grid still does not
arc, it may be necessary to replace the transformer
and lamp ballast(s). Refer to the IOC® Replacement
Parts List (separate sheet) for the correct re-order
information.
Contact us if any of the solutions outlined in these Trouble shooting Tips fail to solve the problem(s).
NOTE: SHOULD YOU NOTICE INCREASED FLYING INSECT KILL IN PHASE III UNITS
Phase III units are positioned as the final line of flying insect interception. Units in these areas act as monitors to
help gauge the efficiency of your IOC® system. Of all the units operating in the system, Phase III equipment
should collect the least amount of insects.
We recommend that weekly catches be recorded, noting the amount of insects collected as well as the type of
flying insects attracted and killed. Severe changes in these recordings will warrant a closer inspection of your
facility’s integrated pest control programs.
For instance, a lower than normal insect kill denotes that an insect electrocuting system is operating as expected. A
higher than normal insect kill warns that one or more problems may exist in the insect elimination network. Examples:
• An exterior entry door (without benefit of an IOC® unit), normally closed, now remains open for prolonged periods.
• One or more IOC® units have been unplugged or turned off at the mainswitch for maintenance or cleaning,
   and have not been returned to service.
• Transformers, ballasts, or lamps have failed in one or more units, rendering them inoperable.
• An addition or expansion has been made to the facility that requires additional IOC® units to complete the system.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
To obtain the highest possible level of flying insect elimination and to ensure continued operational
efficiency, it is imperative that your Insect-O-Cutors® be properly maintained . Please read this entire
manual before exercising any of the Preventative Maintenance Procedures. Remember: disconnect the
electrical current to Insect-O-Cutor® units before beginning repairs, maintenance or lamp replacement, etc.
WEEKLY
• Visually inspect units to determine that the black light lamps are functioning.
• Using appropriate tools/devices, test unit electrical grids for arc’ing activity.
• Replace any lamps that are burned out. If necessary, replace any defective ballasts.
• Inspect, empty and clean the insect collection drawers in all Insect-O-cutor® units at any time as safety may
   dictate (i.e., when flying insect carcasses have accumulated to an amount in excess of one inch
   [or approximately 25 mm] ).
MONTHLY
• Inspect, empty and clean the insect collection drawers in all units. Never permit insect carcasses to accumulate
   to a depth of more than one inch (or approximately 25 mm).
• Clean the electrical grid with a non-metallic brush or broom. Dust and dirt build-up insulates the grid wires,
    allowing tiny insects to escape. Excessive dust build-up may also create a fire hazard.
• Wipe the lamps with a dampened cloth. Any film or dust on the attraction lamps will reduce black light emission
   (flying insect attraction is directly proportional to the amount of black light emission).
• Test the electrical grid to ensure that voltage is being attained by arc’ing the grid with an appropriately
   insulated tool .
• Wipe the surface of the unit with a dampened cloth whenever dust and other particles detract from its appearance.
   An Insect-O-Cutor® is an appliance that should receive the same care and cleaning as other permanent fixtures.
ANNUALLY
• Replace all the lamps with genuine Insect-O-Cutor® Insect Attraction Lamps. Each IOC® unit is equipped
   with pretested black light lamps that will provide the highest level of flying insect attraction. All lamps in original
   IOC® equipment are year-dated… exclusive with the Insect-O-Cutor® product.
