6. Insertion of batteries, power supply, operation time

First you have to insert new batteries. Please mind correct polarity. Open the battery compartment,
insert the batteries and close the lid again afterwards.
You should remove the batteries if you do not use the device for a longer time.
The maximum operation time is approx. 20 hours.
Attention: If batteries leaked or if there is any moisture ingress the device is no longer allowed to be
used.

7. Operation, switching on and receiving mode

To switch on the device activate the sensor field 'On' for a short period of time. The blue LED above
the sensor field is lit. You may remove the magnetic pen once you see this blue LED. After that the
blue LED is flashing. The device is in receiving mode.
In addition you see the LED 'Output' flashing in green color. Please see the section 'Continuity test' for
more detailed information regarding this.
There is a capacitor in the device to store the firing energy. This capacitor is being charged with
approx. 20 Volts all the time during operation. Right after switching the device on the charging level
may be too low until the maximum level is reached after approx. 30 seconds.
Due to that you need to wait at least this time until the capacitor is completely charged.

8. Displaying the battery status

After activating the sensor field 'On' for several seconds with the magnetic pen the red LED 'Battery' is
lit. The LED bar with up to five green LEDs is lit simultaneously.
The more green LEDs are on the higher the remaining capacity of the inserted batteries is.
The following rule of thumb applies:
= approx. 100% remaining capacity, up to 20 h operation time left
= approx. 80% remaining capacity, up to 16 h operation time left
= approx. 60% remaining capacity, up to 12 h operation time left
= approx. 40% remaining capacity, up to 8 h operation time left
= approx. 20% remaining capacity, up to 4 h operation time left
The mentioned values for the operation time can only be achieved if high quality alkaline cells with a
capacity of at least 2,700 mAh are being used. In addition an e-match must be connected during
operation (less power consumption due to the flashing LED of the continuity test function).
