HEP-2
RECHARGABLE BATTERY POWERED
HIGH ENERGY PORTABLE IGNITER
CU-124
June 22, 2023
DESCRIPTION
The portable high-energy ignition assembly consists of a hand held 2kV ignition generator with integrated battery
charger. HEP-2 needs a cable set and ignition lance and the HEP-2-INT needs to be completed with a xed ignition
rod. The length of the ignition rod can be freely chosen by combining one tip adapter, one spark tip and one or multi-
ple extention tubes. All components are individually available and need to be assembled before use.
APPLICATION
The HEP-2 series is used for safe ignition of burners of all kinds, e.g. in reneries, the steel industry and in the petro-
chemical industry. The total weight and the compact size of the complete set makes these igniters the perfect ‘match’
for downred reformers or burners on great heights.
OPERATION
The power cord with US/EU plug accepts a voltage between 100 & 230 VAC to charge the batteries. The device has
a LED status indicator and informs the user when the device needs to be recharged. The device is switched ready for
operation via a latching switch. After a correct positioning of the spark tip, the ignition can be started with a push-but-
ton with a limit of 180 seconds of 4kJ/spark. A full charge provides a total spark time of 1 hour.
GENERAL
The device generates a life-threatening voltage of 2kV DC.
For safety reasons it is necessary to carefully read and fully understand this manual before any attempt of assembling
or usage of the components.

WARNING
The equipment described in this manual is capable of causing property
damage, severe injury, or death. It is the responsibility of the owner or operator
to ensure that the equipment described is installed, operated and commissioned in
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and regulations.
When this equipment is tted to an appliance, due regard must also be given to the requirements of that
appliance.
Before attempting to install, commission, or operate this equipment, all relevant sections of this document must
be read and fully understood. If in doubt about any requirements consult your supplier.
Installation, commissioning or adjustment of this product MUST be carried out by suitably trained engineers or
personnel qualied by training and experience.
The manufacturer of this equipment accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate,
negligent or incorrect installation, commissioning or adjustment of operating parameters of the equipment.
Before attempting any work on this equipment or any equipment controlled by or connected to this equipment, all
related electrical supplies or batteries MUST be isolated.
DO NOT energize or use the device, unless the area is known to be non-hazardous and free of explosive gases.
These paragraphs indicate a risk of potential serious personal injury, unless these instructions are followed
carefully.
This device and its accessories are designed to operate in extreme environments and temperatures.
Do not attempt to work on this device until it has reached a safe handling temperature.
Do not operate a device that has damaged threads, components or one that has been disassembled.
Explosion hazard. Do not disassemble, connect or disconnect when energized.
The High Energy Portable Igniter (or any part thereof) is not intended for climbing or standing on.
Electromagnetic interference may occur during the ignition period.
Compliance with the permissible ambient temperatures must be checked.
During ignition, 2000 VDC is applied to the ignition electrode. There is a danger to life if touched!
The portable High Energy Igniter may only be operated with the spark tip inside the combustion chamber, with the
lid of the ignition unit closed, undamaged components, and a complete ignition electrode installed.
The portable High Energy Igniter requires at least 120 seconds for a complete discharge.
Opening the unit or touching any of the internal components during this discharging may result in elec-
trick shock or injury.

OPERATION
DO NOT energize or use the device, unless the area is known to be non-hazardous and free of explosive gases.
Before commissioning, potential equalization should be carried out between the grounding bolt on the housing and
the front panel of the burner, for example with the optionally available potential equalization line
(at least 4 mm² PE cable with grounding clamp, length 3m).
A ready-made PE cable with mounted grounding clip is available as an accessory (HEP-2-CLIP).
Press the Power ON/OFF momentary switch with LED indicator
* LED OFF : Power OFF
* LED WHITE : Power ON
Position the spark tip in the combustible fuel mixture.
A correct mixture is where the fuel/air ratio is between the %LEL (lower Explosion Level) and %UEL (Upper Explosion Level)
FUEL % LOWER EXPLOSION
LEVEL
% UPPER EXPLOSION
LEVEL
NATURAL GAS 5 17
PROPANE 2.1 9.5
HYDROGEN 4 75
AMMONIA 15 28
Outside these conditions, the ignition of the fuel mixture is likely to fail.
Wait until the fuel valves open, then start sparking by pressing the IGNITION button.
The maximum ignition time is 180 sec.
The total ignition time for a full charged device is approx. 1 hour
After a succesfull ignition, it is recommended to release the ignition button.
Press the power ON/OFF switch to turn the power OFF.

CHARGING
A weak ignition spark and a RED LED around the ignition button indicates the need for charging.
For charging, connect the power cord to the portable High Energy Power Pack.
Ignition is not possible during the charging process.
A complete charge can take up to 2 hours.
Disconnect the power cord after charging.
The voltage od each battery cell should not drop below 1.23 VDC
otherwise they may be permantly damaged.

GREEN : CHARGING COMPLETED
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
WARNING :
Batteries may only be replaced by a qualied electrician.
Inversing the polarity of the batteries will destroy the unit.
Before opening the ignition unit, it is absolutely necessary to disconnect the main connection and power switched
OFF.
The Portable High Energy Power Pack requires at least 120 seconds for a complete discharge.
Opening the unit or touching any of the internal components during this discharging may result in electrick shock
or injury.
The housing cover is removed using the four (4) screws (on the side of the label).
Beware of live parts!
It must be ensured that the PE connection between cover and base is not interrupted.
To avoid compensating currents, all batteries must always be replaced at the same time.
When installing the housing cover, make sure that the PE connection between the housing parts is
not pinched.
After replacing the batteries, the housing cover must be attached again with the four previously
loosened screws.
Proper operation can only be guaranteed with the batteries installed by the manufacturer.
The polarities must be observed when changing the battery.
Inversing the polarity will destroy the unit !
