PowerSmoke 740 (HV) Operating Instructions
Version 2.0
The flow rate is correctly adjusted if there are no oily remains on the
fuselage; the flow rate is to reduce when a lot of remains are
encountered.
Hint:
After powering the receiver set on the actuator on the transmitter must be set to
“pump stop position” first. Only then the pump can be arbitrarily turned on or off.
This inhibits an erroneous running of the pump and e.g. uncontrolled filling of the
muffler when turning the system on.
8. Hints for Daily Operation
The smoke oil pump is free of maintenance and very long lasting. The
heart of the smoke oil pump is a high grade toothed wheel pump. As a
matter of principals this type of pumps is not applicable for running dry.
Periods of running dry must be kept as short as possible.
Hint:
Especially when new 60 seconds of running dry could be already too long for the
PowerSmoke 740 (HV) and damage the pump!
Do not fully empty the smoke oil tank during flight. It is advantageous
to start a stop-watch when starting the pump (and stopping the watch
when stopping the pump); this indicates on-time when to stop the
pump. If for any reason hectic comes up powering the pump off could
be easily forgotten. In order to avoid unwanted powering on of the
pump a "main switch" should be looped into the power supply (e.g.
EMCOTEC MPS).
If you do not want to use a switch disconnect the pump from the
battery.
We point out that especially damages caused by running dry are not
covered by warranty.
