Maintenance and Testing
4.1
Routine
There is no set maintenance routine for the flame simulator due to the simplicity of the device.
All internal maintenance or repair must be conducted by Micropack (Engineering) Ltd.
Therefore, routine maintenance is simply limited to ensuring the faceplate window is kept clean
and that no damage to the integrity of the enclosure or flame paths is caused.
4.2
Battery Charging
A charging unit is supplied with the flame simulator. Simply remove the reverse cover to reveal
the charging socket, and conduct the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Connect plug to flame simulator.
Connect Charger unit to mains socket (adaptors supplied for various world locations).
Switch on mains supply.
Wait until red LED (on charger unit) stops flashing.
Press yellow button on charger unit.
Wait until charger LED is green.
The yellow button causes the charger unit to completely discharge the battery pack prior to re-
charging. Unless this is done the battery pack will retain memory charge and charging capability
will be limited. Full re-charge will take between 3 and 10 hours.
A “fast” charge may be applied by simply not pressing the yellow button – however, as indicated
above, battery memory effects will result in the battery pack not maintaining a full charge and
limit the battery life. Charging in this way will take approximately 1 hour. Eventually, battery life
will be so limited that a full discharge / recharge cycle will be required.
