6.1.1 Instructions for top indicator light of the simulated fire extinguisher

The top indicator light provides feedback on the extinguisher's status:

A. DURING THE STARTUP

The indicator flashes 1-5 times in yellow based on battery level (5 flashes = full battery, 2 flashes = low battery, suggesting recharge) before turning green.

NOTE: If the battery is critically low, the indicator turns red, flashes, and the extinguisher shuts down.

B. DURING NORMAL OPERATION

• Steady Green: Indicates the fire extinguisher is ready.
• Steady Yellow: Indicates the extinguisher is in the process of extinguishing a fire.
• Steady Red: Indicates the extinguisher has finished spraying.

6.1.2 Information on the dial of the HMP-E Simulated Fire Extinguisher

The dial displays operational status:

• HM PROTECTION Logo
• TE-00504: Serial number.
• TC 33: Total number.
• A: Auto operation indicator.
• M: Manual operation indicator.
• Battery level indicator

The dial has three zones:

• Recharge zone
• Normal pressure zone
• Overcharged zone

NOTICE: Refer to Chapter 6.1.5 for charging details.

6.1.3 The buttons at the base of HMP-E Simulated Fire Extinguisher

• ON/OFF BUTTON: Long press to turn on/off. When on, red and yellow lights illuminate, and the top indicator flashes before turning green. When off, red and yellow lights extinguish.
• RESET BUTTON: Press to refill a depleted extinguisher in manual mode. Yellow indicator flashes in manual drill mode.
• MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC MODE SWITCH BUTTON: Toggles between manual drill and automatic restart modes. In automatic mode, the green light flashes, and the extinguisher recharges 3 seconds after discharge.
• CHARGING PORT: Connect the provided charger to an AC power supply. Charging takes approximately 3 hours.

6.1.4 Lever and Handle

Squeeze the lever to release the simulated agent. Release the handle to stop. The extinguisher uses a standard 11lb (5kg) dry powder fire extinguisher pressure handle and valve core. Pressing the lever starts the operation; lifting it suspends it.

NOTICE: After discharge, the extinguisher can operate for a maximum of 15 seconds. It will automatically turn off the LED beam and require refilling. It also shuts down automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity.
