The unit has a plastic housing and an overall height of 24 inches. It is suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor areas such as warehouses, break rooms, and commercial spaces. For larger areas, multiple units may be required, or a higher-capacity model such as the FC8800C can be considered.
What is the difference between the Flowtron BK-40-D and the FC4400?
The Flowtron BK-40-D (SKU 2W545) and FC4400 (SKU 1ABE3) are both 40 W electronic insect killers with one lamp and plastic housings. The BK-40-D has a maximum coverage area of 21,780 sq ft and an overall height of 16.5 inches, while the FC4400 covers up to 600 sq ft. The BK-40-D is designed for larger industrial and commercial spaces, whereas the FC4400 is suited for smaller indoor areas such as commercial kitchens and break rooms.
Are Flowtron electronic insect killers suitable for outdoor use?
Several Flowtron models are specified for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. For example, the FC4700 (SKU 1ABE1) and FC7600 (SKU 2W546) are indicated for indoor or outdoor use in areas such as patios, while the FC8800C (SKU 2W547) is noted for outdoor use with a coverage area up to 87,120 sq ft. However, the plastic housing may not be suitable for direct exposure to rain or harsh weather unless installed in a protected location. Always refer to the specific model's datasheet for environmental limitations.
How many lamps does the Flowtron FC8800C include, and what is its wattage?
The Flowtron FC8800C (SKU 2W547) includes three lamps and operates at 120 W. It has a plastic housing and is designed for large-area coverage up to 87,120 sq ft. This model is typically used in outdoor or sheltered industrial settings where high insect pressure exists. The three-lamp configuration provides increased attraction surface compared to single- or dual-lamp models. Replacement lamps should be ordered according to the manufacturer's specifications.
What maintenance is required for Flowtron insect killers?
Flowtron electronic insect killers require periodic maintenance to ensure effective operation. This includes replacing ultraviolet lamps when they no longer emit sufficient UV light, typically after several thousand hours of use, and cleaning the collection tray or grid to remove insect debris. The plastic housing can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Specific maintenance intervals vary by model and operating environment. Consult the product datasheet for detailed instructions. 3G Electric can provide access to documentation and replacement parts.
