GENERAL 

The operating instructions must be read carefully before commissioning. The device generates a life-threatening

 

voltage of 2kV. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or mechanical destruction. 

DESCRIPTION

 

The portable high-energy hand-held ignition device consists of electronics, a 2kV ignition generator and an integrated 

battery charger. The HEP-2 series is used for the safe ignition of gas and light oil burners, e.g. in refineries, the steel 

industry and in the petrochemical industry. The device is switched ready for operation via a latching switch.

 

The ignition is started with a button

 

The device has an LED status indicator and informs the user when the device needs to be recharged.

Two versions are available:

 

See individual drawings enclosed

1. The HEP-2 is supplied with a pluggable ignition cable, a junction box and the ignition lance with a replaceable igni

-

tion tip. The user can determine the required overall length during the initial assembly by using extension tubes.

2. The HEP-2-Zxxxx version is available with a fixed ignition lance in two different ignition lance lengths. The ignition 

tips, which can be ordered separately, are interchangeable.

A power cord and carrying strap are supplied with each HEP-2.
