HEP-2
RECHARGABLE BATTERY POWERED
HIGH ENERGY PORTABLE IGNITER
GENERAL
The device generates a life-threatening voltage of 2kV DC.
For safety reasons it is necessary to carefully read and fully understand this manual before any attempt of assembling
or usage of the components.
DESCRIPTION
The portable high-energy ignition assembly consists of a hand held 2kV ignition generator with integrated battery
charger. HEP-2 needs a cable set and ignition lance and the HEP-2-INT needs to be completed with a fixed ignition
rod. The length of the ignition rod can be freely chosen by combining one tip adapter, one spark tip and one or multi-
ple extention tubes. All components are individually available and need to be assembled before use.
APPLICATION
The HEP-2 series is used for safe ignition of burners of all kinds, e.g. in refineries, the steel industry and in the petro-
chemical industry. The total weight and the compact size of the complete set makes these igniters the perfect 'match'
for downfired reformers or burners on great heights.
OPERATION
The power cord with US/EU plug accepts a voltage between 100 & 230 VAC to charge the batteries. The device has
a LED status indicator and informs the user when the device needs to be recharged. The device is switched ready for
operation via a latching switch. After a correct positioning of the spark tip, the ignition can be started with a push-but-
ton with a limit of 180 seconds of 4kJ/spark. A full charge provides a total spark time of 1 hour.
