Function

When the charging switch is depressed, then the circuit to the voltage converter is

closed and this charges the capacitor for energy storage. Charging is indicated by

the flashing green light. When the capacitor is fully charged this is indicated by a

continuous green light and firing may proceed when all other safety issues have

been covered.

To fire, keep the charging switch depressed, then press the firing switch. The

charged capacitor is now connected to the electrode. A flash over will then occur

and stored energy is released as a sharp rise in temperature and pressure.

If the charging switch is released before the firing switch is pressed, then charging

is stopped and the capacitor is discharged through an internal circuit closed by the

charging switch in neutral position. With both switches in neutral position the

capacitor is short-circuited and the electrode is disconnected.

The battery condition will determine the time interval to full charge. If this time

exceeds five seconds, then the battery is weak and should be replaced.

Maintenance

To change the battery, unscrew the top cover plate. Lift, disconnect and replace

the old battery with a new 9V alkaline battery. Be careful not to touch any

electronic circuitry as this may cause unintentional discharge of high voltage.

To change the electrode, unscrew the chuck that protects it. Remove and replace

the electrode with a new one of the same type. Electrode life has been up to 500

shots. New electrodes are available through Dyno Nobel. It is advisable to keep

spare batteries and electrodes in stock.
