SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Safety during operation and use:
Improper handling can lead to considerable personal injury and damage to property.
Work on the portable high-energy hand-held ignition device may only be carried out by appropriately trained operating
personnel or a qualied electrician.
Operator is a person who is responsible for installing, operating, setting up, maintaining, cleaning, repairing or transporting
equipment and machines so that they can recognize and avoid hazards.
A qualied electrician within the meaning of the accident prevention regulation is someone who, based on their technical
training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess the work assigned to them
and recognize possible dangers.
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.
Safety during storage, assembly, installation and maintenance:
Proper and safe operation of the device requires proper transport, professional storage, installation and assembly as well as
careful operation.
There is a risk of fatal injury when touching live components, so regular visual inspections must be carried out by the user.
The visual inspection is limited to the intactness of the connected cables, mechanical connections, and the tightness of the
screws. Compliance with the permissible ambient temperatures must be checked.
During ignition, 2kV are applied to the ignition electrode. There is a danger to life if touched!
The portable high-energy hand-held ignition device may only be operated in the combustion chamber with the lid of the
ignition unit closed (and with an undamaged cable, depending on the version) and the ignition electrode installed.
A voltage of 2kV is generated in the ignition unit. If damage is found, the ignition system must be taken out of service and
sent in for repair. Before inspection work, the power supply must be switched o.
The portable high-energy hand-held ignition device requires at least 120 seconds. After this time you can work on the device
There is a risk of burns after pulling the ignition electrode out of the combustion chamber. All components such as internal
parts and the ignition electrode must be cooled down to ambient temperature before removal. The use of protective gloves
and protective work clothing is required.
Protective gloves must be worn when installing the ignition tip. In addition, the risk of crushing when screwing in is pointed
out.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage due to:
1. Non-compliance of these operating instructions
2. Improper use
3. Use by unqualied or appropriately trained personnel
4. Unauthorized technical and mechanical modications
5. Use of unapproved replacement parts
6. Use of defective and/or improperly repaired devices or parts
7. Repairs by external companies

GENERAL
The operating instructions must be read carefully before commissioning. The device generates a life-threatening
voltage of 2kV. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or mechanical destruction.
DESCRIPTION
The portable high-energy hand-held ignition device consists of electronics, a 2kV ignition generator and an integrated
battery charger. The HEP-2 series is used for the safe ignition of gas and light oil burners, e.g. in reneries, the steel
industry and in the petrochemical industry. The device is switched ready for operation via a latching switch.
The ignition is started with a button
The device has an LED status indicator and informs the user when the device needs to be recharged.
Two versions are available:
See individual drawings enclosed
1. The HEP-2 is supplied with a pluggable ignition cable, a junction box and the ignition lance with a replaceable igni-
tion tip. The user can determine the required overall length during the initial assembly by using extension tubes.
2. The HEP-2-Zxxxx version is available with a xed ignition lance in two dierent ignition lance lengths. The ignition
tips, which can be ordered separately, are interchangeable.
A power cord and carrying strap are supplied with each HEP-2.
