25. Switching off
If possible you should switch off the device only if it is currently not in the menu. You may switch it off
anytime if it is in receiving mode or respectively ready to fire mode or if the safety timer is counting
down. Otherwise changes of parameters in the concerned menu item will not be saved.
You should also not switch it off while a remote programming or a remote check is performed by the
Advanced wireless module.
Press the main switch to switch off the device.
Alternatively you can also power down the unit by using the emergency off input, i.e. by opening the
electrical contact that is connected to this input. In principle the main switch and the emergency off
switch are wired in series. Please note when powering down the device with the emergency off input
that still there is a small power consumption. Due to that you should also switch off the device with the
main switch if the device is not used for a longer time.
The usage of the emergency off input is very recommendable to power down the device with sufficient
safety distance and then activate the main switch. Especially when using DMX512 we recommend this
procedure because this control signal contains no safety measures.
26. The emergency off input
A shielded cable with two stranded wires that are wired to an electrical switch can be connected here.
The emergency off switch should be installed in an enclosure. Industrial grade emergency off
switches, suitable housings, cables and accessories are available on the market for do-it-yourself
constructions. Upon request we can also supply this material or offer a ready-for-use solution.
Several G-Flames should always be controlled by separated emergency off switches to avoid potential
equalizing currents. If you want to control several G-Flames with a single emergency off switch we can
offer you a customized solution with an optical isolator between the individual signals.
The pin assignment of the emergency off input is as follows:
Pin1 = Shielding for the control signal, to be connected with the shielding of the cable
Pin2 = to be connected with the contact of the electrical switch (output at the G-Flame)
Pin3 = to be connected with the contact of the electrical switch (input at the G-Flame)
A connection diagram is printed on the housing of the G-Flame.
27. Command 'Firing mode off'
If you operate the Advanced wireless module you can send the command 'Firing mode off'. This
command is always being sent when the firing mode is disabled. If this command is being received
opened electromagnetic fuel valves are closed, the electrical ignition is switched off and step
sequences - if in progress - are terminated, provided that the device is within radio range.
28. Receiving mode or respectively ready to fire mode
Right after switching on and after the safety timer has elapsed the device enters the receiving or
respectively the ready to fire mode. Flame effects and bi-directional remote access functions are only
possible in this operation mode. If wireless communications is being used we are speaking of
receiving mode. Otherwise it is called ready to fire mode.
Which information is being displayed in this mode is depending on the selected control method.
