    NOTE. Operation duration in shock mode when powered from the autonomous source only at the 12 V supply voltage is twice as long as at the 24 V voltage (with the shock repetition rate being the same). The external source prolongs the operation duration and/or increases the shock force. When working in the shock mode, just as when using any mechanical shock device, remember that you are responsible for possible damages of pipes.
