5. Field testing

On the field, users can test the connections and module status 
without risk of firing by mistake. 
1. Power on the module without pressing any button.
2. Wait until TestMode appears on the screen.
3. Now you can check the module rail connections.
4. If there is a script on the module, it will display which

rails/igniters shoud be connected and not.

5. You can also check battery level.
6. In TestMode the buttons are disabled, so you can not start 

the fire if you press on it.

7. In TestMode the module will reset automatically every

minute.
