6. INTENDED USE AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The device is intended for pre-slaughter stunning animals using electric current with voltage lower
than 400 V and frequency in the range of 50-800 Hz.
The device must be used only for its intended purpose
The main controller of the device operates in 4 modes:
●
boot mode
- after turning on. The device checks all settings and prepares for operating;
●
readiness for operation mode
- the device has been properly turned on and is ready for use;
●
stunning mode
- the device measures the animal's resistance, starts the stunning process
and maintains the set parameters;
●
programming mode
- is used to set parameters (general and for selected programs). The
user can change the parameters of the selected program depending on the type, species and
size of the animal. Editing parameters - see: section
9.2
.
The device works according to the selected program with specific stunning parameters.
The display
[Prog]
shows selected program - it can be changed using the
button.
The preset stunning programs can be found on the SDHC card:

The stunning voltage strictly depends on the animal’s resistance. The resistance depends on the
type, weight of the animal and method of electrode application. The device measures the
resistance and adjusts the voltage to obtain the required stunning current.
