6.1 Applying Power to Equipment
To power the Motivator3™, install a compatible battery into battery slot.
6.2 Commanding Exciter to Spark
Pressing the trigger button will command the exciter to spark the igniter. The Blue Spark LED on
top of the exciter will turn on when the exciter is attempting to fire and will briefly flash off each
time a spark output current is detected.
STARTLING NOISE
Igniters can make a loud “snapping” or “popping” noise when fired. Anticipate this noise and
warn others to expect it before operating the equipment. Alert others in area before operating
equipment.
6.3 Spark Detection Feedback
The Motivator3™ system provides spark detection feedback by flashing a blue light at the top
of the exciter. Table 1 provides interpretation of light behavior.

6.4 Solid Blue LED Status
In the event the LED turns on solid blue when attempting to spark, verify extension rod and
igniter are installed correctly according to Section 5.0 Instructions.
If installed correctly, verify exciter is functioning correctly with a new igniter. When an igniter
has reached the end of service life, the LED indicator will respond solid blue.
If the LED continues to respond solid blue when the trigger is depressed with a new igniter, lock
trigger, disconnect battery, and contact Chentronics®.
