14) When possible try to raise the Unit as much as possible from the ground:
the propagation of the radio signals increases considerably if the antenna
is placed far from the ground.
15) Avoid to operate with large natural or artificial obstacles (houses, hills,
wire mesh) between the TX2000 and the Remote Units. Always try to
operate with all the field Units in "line of sight" with the TX2000
transmitter.
16) Avoid absolutely any contact of the metal base of the antenna and
its connector with wires, metal parts or external circuits.
17) Never use the System near to or inside storage of flammable,
explosive materials or products sensitive to strong electromagnetic
fields.
18) Never recharge the Units inside the powders storage or inside
dangerous areas. Never store or switch on the Units in presence of
high concentrations of combustible dust or solvent vapors
19) Never connect to the Units external devices other than the accessories of
the same product line directly supplied by the manufacturer.
20) Never make connections or dis-connections of the squibs on the
SYSTEM when the RX-24B are switched ON! Always switch OFF all
the Units before beginning any operation with the squibs. When the
squibs are connected, always make sure that nobody could, accidentally
or willingly, turn on the TX2000 Base Unit and operate on it.
21) Don't use testers ohmmeters or circuit testers to verify the line continuity
when the wires are already connected to the binding posts of the Remote
Units! Always use for this purpose the system facilities!
22) Don't use absolutely any external power source in order to increase
the line voltage or current.
23) Clear the fire site from the personnel when, with the mortars
already loaded and squibs connected, the FIREMASTER Base Unit
is switched ON and during the whole period of lines and sequences
programming. Any operation concerning programming and testing
must be carried-out in conditions of maximum safety for all the
personnell on duty.
24) Remove the safety key from the TX2000 during the squibs
connection, mortars loading, etc. Prevent the improper use of the
SYSTEM by personnel not qualified and at the wrong moment.
25) Do not use cellular phones, cordless, walky-talky, transmitters,
brush motors, high-energy electric apparatus, industrial lamps with
reactors, etc. near to the FIREMASTER System while operating
(both in programming and in FIRE mode) and mainly when the
squibs are already connected to the system.
26) Avoid absolutely any electric contact between the squib wires connected
to the binding posts and any other external circuit or metal part. Avoid
also the accidental contact with metal parts of the Unit itself. To each
binding post must be connected only two insulated wires of a single
line and completely free from any other connection.
27) Never connect more than 5 squibs in parallel or 10 in series to the same
line. If the line connection wires are longer than 10 meters or the line be
realized with small-section conductors, then the connection for each line
should be limited to 3 squibs in parallel and 5 in series.
