Diagnostic system 

Perun  ETU++  has  a  diagnostic  system  that  will  help  you  find  the  source,  should  you  encounter  a 
problem. After the battery is connected, the unit undergoes a start-up check, to make sure the replica 
is ready to work. Successful completion of this check is indicated by a short green blink of the LED. 

Problem and LED color

 

Description 

Disconnected motor / 
Switch check

 

 

Yellow, blinking 

This  not  only  provides  information  about  the  disconnection  of  the 
motor, but it is also a switch check mode for the trigger, selector, and 
sector  gear  switches.  With  the  motor  disconnected,  engaging  the 
switches will cause the LED to glow purple (trigger), green (selector), 
or  blue  (sector  gear)  for  a  moment.  This  can  be  used  for 
troubleshooting problems with the switchboard in the gearbox. 
 
Reconnecting the motor will restore normal function. 
 

Attention

: Motor check only takes place at start-up. A disconnection 

after the start-up will not be signaled!

 

Fuse activation

 

 

Red, continuous, or blinking 

Activation  of  the  fuse  with  a  distinction  between  a  short  circuit 
(continuous red) and gearbox jam (blinking red). In some situations, 
this distinction may not be correct, for instance, a gearbox jam may 
be incorrectly read as a short circuit and vice versa. 
 
The  unit  will  start  functioning  normally  after  the  battery  is 
reconnected, unless there still is a short circuit that will be detected 
at the next start-up. 

Trigger pull detected during  
start-up

 

 

Yellow and purple blinking 
alternately 

The unit detected that the trigger was being held during start-up. This 
can  also  indicate  a  short  circuit  of  the  signal  wiring  or  mechanical 
malfunction of the trigger mechanism. 
 
The unit will start functioning normally after the trigger is released. 

Gearbox cycle detection 
failure

 

 

Yellow and green blinking 
alternately 

The unit did not receive information about cycle end from the sector 
gear  switch  and  stopped  firing  only  after  safety  time  limit  was 
exceeded. This may indicate a problem with the switch, cut-off lever, 
or damaged wire. 

Unit temperature is too high

 

 

Yellow and white blinking 
alternately 

Too high temperature of the unit (electronic board) was detected. It 
will not function again until it cools down, after which it will operate 
normally. 

Battery with too low voltage 
is connected

 

 

Yellow and teal blinking 
alternately 

The battery with a voltage below 7V is connected. Change the battery 
to one with voltage between 7V and 17V. 

Battery with too high 
voltage is connected

 

 

Red and teal blinking 
alternately 

The battery with a voltage over 17V is connected. The battery must 
be immediately disconnected, as it can cause permanent damage!

 

Change the battery to one with a voltage between 7V and 17V.
