35. Operation time
As soon as the device is in operation power is consumed from the internal battery. If this accumulator
is totally charged and has the full capacity of 7,000 mAh 30% of energy will be left after an operation
time as stated below. Continuous operation is possible if the device is being charged permanently.
The values have been calculated assuming that the Advanced wireless module is installed, which
consumes energy in addition, and that the fuel valves are opened for a total time of three minutes
during the application.

Note: Please be aware of the fact that the rechargeable battery is loosing capacity over the life time.
The achievable operation time depends on the actual capacity of the particular battery. You can
determine the capacity of the batteries by starting the battery measurement function in the menu.
36. Installation und de-installation of the Advanced wireless module
The Advanced wireless module can be retrofitted by the user himself if the G-Flame has not been
equipped with this optional feature when initially ordering the device.
36.1. Installation of the radio module
36.1.1. Installation of the hardware
Open the side panel (cover lid) of the device.
Then remove the blind cover of the antenna socket on the upper side of the device by opening the two
screws. Afterwards you can insert the BNC feed through socket and mount it with the same screws.
The wireless module will be mounted with two screws that have already been installed in the device.
These screws have been secured with two self-locking nuts and you will find them on the side of the
housing in the device near the connector which is intended to plug in the wireless module.
Open the two self-locking nuts and remove the screws.
Insert the wireless module in the 25pin connector (25pin S-Sub socket) which can be found on the
front side of the printed circuit board which is installed in the device.
The wireless module comes with two inserted nuts which will lay exactly behind the holes in the
housing once the module is completely inserted.
Mount the wireless module by using the screws which you removed before.
