Central Information Display (CID) Color Graphic User Interface
Spark Duration
When the X3 ECD is deployed with the trigger switch, it delivers an automatic 5 second Precision Shaped Pulse
deployment cycle. The CID displays a count from 1 to 5 indicating how many seconds the deployment cycle
has lasted.
1 3 2 4 5
If you hold the trigger switch down continuously, for more than five seconds, the ECD will continue the
deployment cycle. The CID will display the number 6 (and sequential numbers), but the icon showing the count
will be replaced by the operating mode icon.

If you press the ARC switch, the CID will display the deployment cycle duration next to the operating mode
icon.

In probe-deployment mode, the CID display shows the deployment cycle duration for the most recent cartridge
deployed. If you then deploy a second Smart Cartridge™ a few seconds later (while the first cycle is running), the
CID will stop showing data for the first cartridge (though the first cartridge will still complete its deployment
cycle) and start displaying the deployment cycle duration for the second cartridge.
In the example below, the deployment cycle for the second cartridge has been cycling for two seconds. The
first cartridge also is cycling, but only the count for the second cartridge is displayed. (If the second cartridge
was activated while the first cartridge was still running, the first cartridge's cycle should end before the second
cartridge's cycle does. If the first cartridge completed a full cycle before the second cartridge was activated,
then both the first and second cartridges should run for the same amount of time.)

Operating Mode (Manual)
The cycle can be stopped at any time by shifting the CAM-Lock safety to the down (SAFE) position. The CID
below shows the X3 ECD loaded with a 25-foot (7 m) and two 35-foot (10 m) cartridges. The 25-foot cartridge is
selected. (The leftmost, active cartridge is always selected by default.) The battery is fully charged, and the ECD
is in the manual mode. There is a critical fault in the system.
