Changing the Power Setting / Wrap around / Power in Bypass and Temp-Control

05 Main Menu (Page 1)

In the Power menu the power setting can be changed by means of the up
and down buttons up to the Power-Limit (PLim) value or down to 5W
respectively. If the wrap-around (parameter “Wrap Mode” in EF-Menu) is
activated, the setting rolls over at the PLim/5W border.

With temperature controlled vaping activated, the power setting is the power limit for the temperature
regulator. If the power level is smaller than the value needed to achieve the selected temperature, the
operation changes from a temperature regulator to a temperature limiter. If the power level is sufficiently
high, it sets the heating up speed of the coil until the set-point temperature is reached.
There are several conditions, where the output power is limited and the adjusted power is not applied to the
coil. For further information, see below “notes to very high power vaping and power limitation” and the
additional explanations for the parameter Ubat,min in the extended functions menu.

In the operation mode “Bypass” (mechanical mod), changing the power setting is not available, because the
power is defined by the battery voltage and coil resistance. The menu “Power” is not displayed in this case,
but the value displayed during and after the vape shows the actual power output to the coil.

Switching On/Off, Key Locking and Menu-Operation

The Dani Box Micro has three buttons: One bigger button as the fire and
enter button below the stainless steel head-piece at the front side of the body
and up/down buttons below the display-screen for navigating and changing
values. The mod is switched on by shortly pressing any button 5 times in case
it has been switched off actively. The display shows “

”.

For

switching off the mod, the fire button has to be pressed

shortly 5times => the mod displays “Bye..” and switches off shortly afterwards.
Important Note: The dicodes boxmods differentiate between
and the

after the switch-off-time.

- When the device was switched off driven by the automatic timer, it will
be on and entering the menu by clicking “MenuOn Click” times “up” or “down”
or by pressing the fire button longer than about 0.2seconds for immediate
vaping. I.e. the user can vape immediately, even when the unit was completely
powered down.
- When the device was actively switch off, it can only be switched on again by
clicking any button 5 times.

By means of the upper and lower buttons it is possible to navigate through the menu, as well as to increase
and decrease values of a parameter after a short waiting, i.e. until the value is displayed inverted (black on
white). The waiting time from navigation mode to the entry mode is adjustable by means of the parameter
“Click Speed” in the extended functions menu (see below). It is also possible to use the Fire-button as
“Enter” and “Escape” by shortly (!!) pressing it. Longer pressing the fire button aborts entry and activates
power output (vaping).

The Power-Limit value is adjusted in the Extended Functions Sub-Menu “Heater” and provides a protection
feature for atomizers which are not prepared for high wattage or to reduce the power range intentionally.
The wattage step size is 0.5 Watt below 30W and 1W above.

To avoid an unintended change of settings, for example during transportation in a pocket, the up/down
buttons can be locked by pressing both buttons simultaneously: “Key Lock” is displayed. To unlock the
buttons, again both buttons need to be pressed at the same time, indicated by “Key UnLock” shown on
the display. Note, that it is always possible to fire! Locking just avoids changing values.

When wrap-

around is disabled, further increase or decrease is blocked at the borders.
