10 Terminal block connector

A new type of connection socket makes working much easier. No tools are required for connecting
and disconnecting. To connect the ignitor wire, simply plug it into the contact mechanism and is
automatically clamped. To disconnect the wires, simply press the respective button to release the
wires.
The connection terminal can also be removed completely. This makes the preparation of effects much
easier, especially if it is a recurring show or if the preparation of numerous props for multiple takes on
the set is demanded.

11 Operation time and Sleep Mode

As soon as the device is in operation power is consumed from the internal batteries. If these batteries
are full, 30% of energy will be left after an operation time of 18 hours.
With the optional Sleep Mode function of the receiver, the standby time can be increased to up to 23
days.
TIP

12 Batteries and rechargeable batteries recommendations

We recommend Varta alkaline batteries for optimum operating times. In addition, other batteries often
leak and can damage the device. If you choose rechargeable batteries, we recommend Panasonic
Eneloop type BK-3MCCE. These are NiMH batteries with very low self-discharge and their voltage
level is a little higher.
With the PFE Advanced Mini 5 Outputs it is not necessary to set whether you use NiMH batteries or
alkaline batteries. The values displayed in the menu item 'Battery Capacity' apply to both variants.
After the device has received the Sleep command, it confirms the received
command and immediately shows 'Sleep' in the display. The device is now
in power saving mode. Meanwhile the Info-LED flashes with a long-time
interval.
When the device has received the command to wake up, you will see this
being displayed. The unit then switches to receiving mode.
You can also manually switch off a device that is in Sleep Mode directly
at the device by pressing 'Mode' for a longer time until you see the
display 'Switch off?' Now you must briefly activate 'On/Off' with the
magnetic pen. Also, in this case the Event Memory is being saved and
afterwards the device switches itself off completely.
