GENERAL INFORMATION

The Minizone MPL9-33 is small battery-operated transmitter that emits a 33 kHz signal, which can be located by a receiver operating on the same frequency. The Minizone is intended to be used in non-conductive ducts, cavities and structures.
The device is intended for professional use.

ITEMS SUPPLIED

BATTERY INSTALLATION, TURNING ON AND OFF

Insert a BR535 battery. Observe polarity (Figure 1). To turn the MPL9-33 on, tighten the battery compartment. The LED at the tip of the Minizone will start flashing. Take care to fully tighten to avoid water getting into the device. To turn the Minibond off,  unscrew battery compartment. Always remove the battery completely when you are not using the Minizone.
When the battery has insufficient capacity left for carrying out measurements, the LED will turn off. Replace the battery. Low temperatures reduce the operating time of the battery.

High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into liquids can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.
Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into liquids.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

When the battery is inserted and the battery compartment attached, the Minizone will start emitting a 33 kHz signal. The location can now be detected with a receiver that operates at the same frequency, such as the Visalia CL43. Before use, ensure the  Minizone is fully functional by locating the signal with a corresponding receiver. Refer to the user manual of the receiver on pinpointing the location of the Minizone.
You can attach the Minizone to a duct rod, cable rudder, snake rod, push or pull rod using the thread at the end of the battery compartment. An O-ring provides added grip when tightening.
When using the device for blowing with compressed air, always blow with battery compartment end first. Refer to the user manual of the blowing unit and follow safe work practices.
Use of compressed air can lead to the Minizone exiting the duct at great speed.
Precaution: Always use a catcher at the end of the duct. If changing the direction of the blowing due to the device getting stuck, remember to move the catcher to the other end of the duct. Do not blow the Minizone with pressure exceeding 6 bars. Always use  safety goggles, when using the MPL9-33 with compressed air.
