to be connected to the same connector.

13
2.6 Description of the wireless seismic sensor
The LEADER Hasty has one, two or three wireless seismic sensors which are used to locate a buried victim.
These exceptionally sensitive sensors are capable of detecting the slightest sounds made by victims.
The different search methods are not explained in this manual.
Refer to the operational search instructions used in your field
interventions.
In an open area these wireless sensors have a maximum range of
100 m.
In operation, depending on the configuration of the zone, these
wireless sensors can be used up to about 30 m.
A wireless sensor has:
•A removable base to access the battery compartment
(3 AAA batteries).
•An aerial.
•An ON/OFF button with LED.
•A strap to handle the sensor in the ruins or rubble.
•A number corresponding to its pairing number.
Magnetic plates (magnets)
Each wireless sensor is shipped with a magnetic plate that can be screwed directly
onto its lower part. This plate can be used on the metal beams of collapsed buildings
which are well known to conduct vibrations optimally.
Metal probes Each sensor is also shipped with a probe that can be
screwed directly onto its lower part. These probes are
used on loose soil to increase vibration reception.

3 USING THE CONTROL BOX
3.1 Control box power supply
The LEADER Hasty is delivered with a lithium polymer battery pack which is inserted into the back
of the control box.
The battery pack is recharged SEPARATELY from the control box.
Charging can be carried out at between 0°C and 45°C (maximum temperature) using the supplied
charger.
During charging, a LED located on the charger provides the following indications:
▪Green: battery charged or battery not connected to the charger.
▪Red: battery charging.
During operations, if the battery pack is run down, the user can either use another battery pack
(supplied as an option), or the backup battery pack as a replacement for the initial battery pack.
The backup battery pack requires 10 AAA batteries (not provided).
The battery pack can ONLY be charged using the supplied charger block. It can be used with
100/240VAC - 50/60Hz.
The international adapters can be used to recharge the battery pack on all US, Australian, European,
and UK power outlets.
Once the appliance is powered on, if the camera or at least one seismic sensor is turned on, an icon showing
the battery pack charge level remains displayed on the top right of the screen.

3.3 Using the sun shield
In bright light, the sun shield is used to place the screen in a dark area to be able
to see it better.
To hold the sun shield on the control box it must be correctly positioned on
the face on the forms designed to this effect. The red line shows the position.
The wide elastics are used to fast it quickly and
easily.
It is stored flat for easier transport. An elastic on its side is used to keep it flat and fix it to the control box. By
placing it on the screen face, it protects the screen when moving around when the search device is not in use.
It has small inner pockets to store an SD photo card for example.

4 SEISMIC SEARCH MODE
4.1 Using the seismic sensor
To power on the wireless sensor, the push button must be pressed for at least 1 second. When the sensor
is powered on, the green push button LED lights:
•Slow flashing: no connection with the control box.
•Fixed: connection with the control box in progress.
•Fast flashing: connection with the control box established.
•Very fast flashing: pairing sequence in progress (see Pairing section).
To power off the sensor, the push button must be pressed for at least 1 second.
If the sensor does not connect with the control box, it powers off automatically after 20 seconds.
To connect several wireless sensors, it is important to use the following powering on sequence:
1. Power on the control box until the LEADER Hasty logo is displayed.
2. Press the sensor push button. When its LED flashes quickly the connection is complete and
the corresponding sensor bar chart appears on the control box screen.
3. Repeat step 2 for the next sensor.
Important: Do not power on all the sensors at the same time, but one after the other. Wait for
the powered on sensor to appear on the screen before powering on the next sensor.

18
4.2 Pairing the seismic sensor
To be recognised by a control box, the sensors must be paired to it. Initially the sensors are paired with
the control box they are delivered with in the factory.
However, each sensor can be used on any LEADER Hasty or LEADER Search control box.
If you need to pair a sensor to another control box, follow the sequence described below:
1. Turn off the control box
2. With the sensor powered off, press the push button for 15 seconds and then release it. The green
LED will flash very quickly and then go out At this stage the sensor is no longer paired to any control
box
3. Turn on the sensor to be paired. The sensor's LED flashes very quickly again. If the LED
on the sensor to be paired does not flash quickly, repeat step 2.
4. Turn on the control box. The sensor will then carry out the pairing sequence for a few seconds
and then switch off automatically.
5. Switch the sensor back on. it is now recognised by the control box and its bar-chart format signal
appears on the screen.
A selector in the sensor battery compartment can be used to select the sensor number (n°1, n°2 or n°3).
The sensor number is memorised by the sensor during the pairing sequence. To make the sensor memorise
a new number, it should first be unpaired, the switch must be placed on the required sensor number,
and then the pairing sequence carried out.
Once paired, the sensor keeps the number assigned to it, even if the selector is mistakenly positioned
on another number.

4.3 Seismic search mode
The screen that is displayed when the seismic mode is activated:
The "seismic" mode can be selected when one or more seismic sensors are connected. Here three sensors
are connected.
This mode is active automatically if the boom is not connected to the control box.
If the boom is connected, there are 2 methods of switching to seismic mode:
•Press Menu, select the "seismic" icon and validate using the validation key.
or
•remove the boom connector. The software then directly switches to seismic mode (caution: at least one
sensor must be connected).
