Power Up and Power Down05 Main Menu (Page 1)Power Up increases the power to the Power-Limit value and then rolls over to 5W.Power Down decreases the power down to 5W and then rolls over to the Power-Limvalue. The Power-Limit value is adjusted in the Extended Functions Sub-Menu “Heater”and provides a protection feature for atomizers which are not prepared for highwattage or to reduce the power range intentionally. The wattage step size is 1 Wattbelow 20W, 2W between 20W and 40W and 5W above 40W, but can be set to 0.5W,1W and 2.5W respectively in the modmenu with “Half Watt=1”.With temperature controlled vaping activated, the power setting is the maximumpermitted power for the temperature regulator (do not mix this with “Power-Limit”).In the operation mode “Bypass” (mechanical mod), the power setting is not available, because the power isdefined by the battery voltage and coil resistance. The menu items “Power Up/Down” are not displayedin this case.Temperature Up and Temperature DownThis Menu items are only available and displayed if temperature controlled vaping isselected (see Heater-Control menu item below). So the menu structure adapts to theselected operation mode. The Temperature Up/Down menu sets the setpoint for the coiltemperature during vaping. The temperature setpoint can be selected from 120°C to 280°C (250°F- 540°F) in steps of 5°C (10°F). To achieve a high precision temperature control,a correctly performed reference measurement (TempCal Init) is mandatory, see next item.This is a display only menu item. The coil resistance is displayed in a range from0.00 to 9.90 Ohms. If temperature controlled vaping is selected, the current measuredcoil temperature is also displayed, if not, the display shows T ---.If the display does not show 20°C even with cooled down atomizer, it is recommededto re-perform a manual calibration.Coil Resistance and Coil TemperatureThis Menu item is only displayed if temperature controlled vaping is selected (seeHeater Control menu item below). For the use of temperature controlled vaping, thecalibration measurement is a very important part of it. The Temperature calibrationmeasures the coil resistance at room temperature (20°C) as the reference forManual Coil Temperature CalibrationIf the power level is smaller than the value needed to achieve the selected temperature, the operationchanges from a temperature regulator to a temperature limiter. Keep this in mind in case there is poor vapeand the display shows a smaller temperature than selected. If the power level is set sufficiently high, it adjuststhe heating up speed of the coil until the set-point temperature is reached. temperature controlled vaping. This, together with the wire’s temperature coefficient enables the mod tocalculate the coil’s temperature. The calibration must be confirmed in a second step to avoid accidentialactivation. After confirmation the display shows “process” indicating that the calibration completed.It is important to understand, that, if the calibration is performed at a temperature other than20°C, the control will still regulate a constant temperature, but with an offset deviation. So take the ambienttemperature during the temperature adjustment into account. E.g.doing the calibration at 40°C ambient, thetemperature should be set to 20°C less than normal. Similiar, if a wrong temperature coefficient was adjusted,the actual temperature might deviate dramatically from the set-point (here it is a factor and not an offset).Always perform a calibration, when a new atomizer is attached or when an atomizer is moved, e.g. whenturning it.

05 Main Menu (Page 2)Heater Control (Operation modes)The mod can be used in up to 5 operation modes. The mode can be selected in this menu.The default operation is either standard (0, power setting) or temperature controlledvaping (1). With the “Expert Mode” (Extended Functions Mod-Menu) enabled, additionaloperation modes are Heater Protection (2), Power Boost (3), and Bypass (4, mechanicalmod). With Expert Mode disabled, the menu options 2..4 are masked out. Battery StatusThe Check Battery item shows the battery voltage with little current drained (Ub0) and thebattery voltage under load during the last puff (UbL). The difference is the voltage dropwithin the battery and contacts. A high drop (>0.4V) indicates a poor battery or contactproblems.Please note that every battery has an inner resistance and that therefore the voltage at its contacts alwaysdrops when current is drained. The more current is drained, the higher the drop will be. Always rememberthis behaviour.Commonly OEM batteries of size 21700 and 20700 have inner resistances of about 8mOhm up to 25mOhm.Generally speaking, the batteries with high capacity have higher inner resistance and those with lowercapacity also have lower inner resistance. 0. Standard ModeIn the standard operation mode the wattage selected in the power setting menu is applied to the coil, unlessthe voltage would be greater than 12V or the current greater than 22A, which depends on the coil resistance.For example with a coil resistance of 4 Ohms and a power setting of 40W, the required voltage at the coil is12.7V. With 4 Ohms the maximum wattage is 36W ((12V)²/4R=36W). Or, if the coil resistance is 0.1 Ohm, themaximum power is 48.4W, because (22A)²*0.1Ohm=48.4W.As can be seen from the examples, with high coil resistance the power is limited by the maximum output voltage of 12V and with low resistances by the maximum output current of 22A.The fact is also reflected in the feature list: A power of 80W is possible from 0.18 to 1.5 Ohms.Nevertheless, resistances of 0.05 to 5 Ohms are possible, but at a reduced power.1. Temperature controlled vapingIn this mode the mod will regulate the temperature of the coil to the pre-set value, exceptthe power setting is too low to achieve the temperature. So please note to adjust thepower setting to a value high enough, if you choose temperature controlled vaping.Otherwise the temperature regulation changes to a temperature limitation mode.When Hctrl is set to 1, the menu directly jumps to the selection of the wire type. Here theuser can select between dicodes-wire (NiFe30), Nickel 200, Titan, Stainless Steel (SS316L),Stainless Steel (SS304/Inox) and “Other”. With “Other” selected, the temperature coefficientdefined in the Extended Functions Menu / Heater Menu under item “Tmp. Cof” is used.The value of the selected coefficient is displayed behind “Wire”. For commonly used wires,the predefined coefficents are: NiFe30=320, Nickel200=620, Titanium=350, SS316L=92 andStainless Steel (SS304/V2A/INOX)=105. Note that there are different alloys for Titaniumand Stainless Steel on the market, so the predefined values can deviate from the actualwire-value you use.

…

The range for the temperature coefficient is from 50 to 650. The number describes 10 times the percentagechange of a wire’s resistance when the temperature rises by 100°C. For example a 1Ohm coil at 20°C of NiFe30(Tmp.Cof=320) will increase to 1.32 Ohm at 120°C and 1.64Ohm at 220°C.

Power Boost ModeThe Power Boost Mode enables an initial short term high power pulse applied to the coil (boost). The boost power is the value of the parameter “Power Limit”.Beside 3 selectable initial boost lengths, further options generate a periodic boost pulsewith different length and repetition rate.An initial boost is for quick coil heat-up. The periodic boost lets the coil temperaturepass a certain range all the time. In this case different flavours within the liquid, whichall develop their taste at different temperatures, are all addressed by the varying temperature.Value of Power Boost-Time [ms] Time at Power Setting CommentBoost123456789103004506008001000120160200250300-----70080090010001000[ms]Start-BoostStart-BoostStart-BoostStart-BoostStart-BoostPeriodic BoostPeriodic BoostPeriodic BoostPeriodic BoostPeriodic BoostMain MenuExtended FunctionsHeater MenuExtended FunctionsHeater Menü05 Main Menu (Page 3)

Parameter

We recommend to set the normal power (not the boost) to much lower values, whenusing the periodic boost, because the average power is increased by the boosts andtemperature gets higher therefore.Note: If the power setting equals the power limit value, the boost has no function, as it is limited to thatvalue as well. For a graphical diagram showing the boost operation options, please refer to the followingpage. (Only with Expert Mode =1)2. Heater Protection Mode (only when Expert Mode=1)The heater protection mode is a periodic interruption of the power applied to the coil.The duration and the repetition rate of the interrupts is selected by means of the para-meter “Heater Prot” in the extended functions mod-menu. The repeated powerinterrupt helps to avoid a break in liquid flow and thus an increase in temperature.

05 Main Menu (Page 4)Switch Off DeviceBeside the Auto-Power-Off feature, the user can actively switch off the device. It isrecommended to switch the device off or to wait for auto-power-off, before the batteryis replaced, because then the statistic counters (see below) are saved. Otherwise thechanges since the last power up are lost.Extended Functions MenuHeater Menu Settings related to the heater or coilMod Menu Settings related to the individual usage and appearanceValue Menu Provides several statistics of vapingThe Extended Functions Menu provides three logically grouped sub-menues:To switch off the device wait on this menu item until the display of the 0 is inverted, then press the button.Note: After actively switching the device off, it can be only switched on by five short clicks.The Extended Functions Menu offers a lot of setting options of the mod, to provide the highest possibleflexibility for the user to individually adjust it to whatever preferences. Normally, once the settings weremade, the user will need to change the parameter rarely. In order to keep the main menu as short aspossible, the extended functions menu was created.The many options may frighten some of the users initially. But without the extended functions menu themod would not be able to address all different customer requirements. Please take a bit of time to getfamiliar with the menu. We are sure, as soon as you have gained an overview, the individual setup isa walk-over. Diagram for Boost-FunctionPBoost=1..5PBoost=6..10Fire ButtonPowerPlimPlimPowerTimeTimePowerFire Button

05 Main Menu (Page 5)Error MessagesIf an error occurs, the mod directly jumps to the error menu and displays the error number and a mnemonic (short-term) description.The possible error messages are: 0 OvrVolt: The input voltage is too high. The Dani 32.5 is prepared for the use of one battery. If the input voltage exceeds 4.5V this error message is displayed. Reduce the input voltage to the specified range.1 ChkAtom: No atomizer detected or open coil.2 TempRef: A problem during the temperature reference measurement occured Repeat the calibration procedure.4 OverCur: Short on coil or coil breakdown (open)5 LowBat: The battery voltage under load (with current drained from it) has reached the minimum discharge level, defined with parameter UbatMin in the extended function mod-menu.6 EleHot: The electronics have heated up too much and needs to cool down. This error will not occur with normal usage of the mod.7 TimeOut: The maximum puff-time is limited depending on power. For a power <20W it is 20seconds. Above 20W it decreases by 0.5seconds per Watt. And from 40W it is kept at 10seconds.Important remarks on the Use of Dani 32.51. The Dani 32.5 is capable to heat up the coil with 80W of power. With 80W continuous power, the coil will heat up to temperatures far beyond the recommended maximum temperature of 240°C. So we do not recommend vaping at permanent wattages beyond 60W.2. Always keep in mind that 80W taken even from a high drain battery will create power losses in the batteries inner resistance as well as at all mechanical contacts, which finally will reduce the total vape time and lead to volt drop. To reduce the contact resistance from the battery-bottom to the electronic/tube, the Dani 32.5 is equipped with an ultra-low-ohmic, multi-contact copper-beryllium spring inside the battery cap. This spring provides 8 contacts to the battery and 16 contacts to the tube. All of the current is flowing directly from the battery to the tube and not (as on other tube-mods) through the threads and spring of the bottom cap. The typical resistance from the battery to the tube is just 0.7mOhm. Nevertheless, when vaping at 80W, the user must accept voltage drops inside the battery of up to 0.6V (assumed 3.1V at battery including drop, 25mOhm inner resistance, 80W power).3. If a power of >60W is selected, we recommend to set the Ubat,min value to 2.7V (default) or greater. This will prevent battery currents >25A. Due to the volt drop at high currents, the electronic might reduce power at voltage levels of Ubat,min + 0.5V (please see diagram below at Ubat,min explanation).4. We recommend to use the Dani 32.5 with temperature controlled vaping or in boost operation mode, because in both modes the average power applied to the coil to achieve the best vaping result is most probably below 60W. Big coils with a high thermal mass may require a high initial power of 80W until the coil heats up. But once it is hot, the power to keep the temperature is much lower. In both recommended operation modes, the danger of reaching too high temperatures and the generation of hazardous substances is minimized.

The selection of the correct wire-temperature-coefficient is very important for thecorrect operation of the mod, when temperature controlled vaping is selected.The mod provides predefined coefficients in the main menu for wire types NiFe30All dicodes devices have a functionality to adjust the minimum discharge level of thebattery between 2.5V and 3.0V (older models 3.5V). Almost all available batteries onthe market specify the minmum discharge level of 2.5V to 2.7V. If the user is unsure,whether the specific battery meets this specification, the level should be set to 2.7V.The time to automatic power off of the mod can be selected between 1 minute up to60 minutes. We recommend to choose 2 or 5 minutes in conjunction with immediatevaping enabled (”OnClick”=0). This is the best utilization of the battery. In thiscombination, though, there is one situation to be considered: If the mod is transportedin a bag, e.g., and the button is accidentially pressed all the time, it theoretically couldhappen that the mod exceeds the maximum vape time, error 7, goes into auto poweroff, is immediatle switched on again and so forth in an endless loop.In the following paragraphs, explanations are given for those parameters and items, which are not selfexplanatory or which have inter-dependencies with other parameters or functions. 06 Extended Functions Menu Additional Explanation to several menu items, page 1(dicodes wire), Ni200, Titanium, Stainless Steel SS316L and Stainless Steel SS304 (Inox). If “Other” is selected as wire type, the value of this parameter is used as the temperature coefficient. Theparameter can be found in the Extended functions menu/Heater Menu/TempCof. The TempCof itemin the menu is visible, even if the operation mode selected is not temperature controlled vaping.The selected voltage is the voltage at the input of the electronics, when current is drained from the batteryand includes any contact- or other resistance voltage drops. The current drained dependson the power at the coil and the battery voltage. In contrast to other available tube- and box-mods onthe market, which stop operation already at 3.4V, the lower discharge level on dicodes mods lead to abetter battery utilization (up to 20%).Note that the mod might start reducing the power output at a battery level of Ubat,min + 0.5V. Thereduction is indicated by a changing display of battery symbol an “LOW”.The picture shows theoperation of the powerreduction. The reductiondepends on the powersetting and Ubat,min.The limiting slope alwaysstarts at 10W and Ubat,minand stops at 80W andUbat,min + 0.5V.To overcome this potential problem, the mod has an implemented secure behaviour:If “OnClicks”<2 AND Error 7 (TimeOut) happened AND the mod has an auto-power-off, the mod can onlybe switched on again by pressing the button short term 5 times.This behaviour happens only one time. Afterwards the operation is as selected by the user. The 5 OnClicksis also activated, when “Onclick”<2 AND the devices is actively switched off by the user(not auto-power-off).As indicated, the OnClick range is from 0 (immediate vape) to 5. Note that the mod is always on after thefirst click, and then detects whether the selected number of clicks is performed in a certain time. If this isnot the case, it switches off immediately.
