4. Switching ‘ON’ the power The voting machine runs on a battery, which is installed in the ‘Cand Set Section’ of the control unit at the Returning Officer’s level. For activating the battery, which will supply power both to the control unit and Ballot Unit(s) when the same are interlinked, there is a power switch provided in the rear compartment of the control unit. After the control unit and the Ballot Unit(s) have been interlinked, you should put the power switch to ‘ON’ position. Thereupon, there will be a beep sound emitting from the control unit and the ‘ON’ lamp on the Display Section of the control unit will start glowing green. In the case of upgraded model of the EVM when the power switch of the Control Unit is pushed upwards to ÓN’ position, it will give a ‘beep’ sound and the ÓN’ lamp on the Display section of the Control Unit will grow GREEN and the following display will appear turn by turn on the Display Panel:- EVM IS ON ECI DTE 16-01-07 TME 09-43-34 Indicates date is in DD-MM-YY and time is in HH-MM-SS Format SLNO-H00003 Indicates the serial number of the Control Unit PCB CANDIDATES 10 Indicates the contesting candidates are ten (assuming there are 10 candidates in the constituency BATTERY HIGH Indicates the status of the battery is ‘HIGH’ 5. Closing the rear compartment You should then close the rear compartment. To keep it firmly closed, a piece of thin wire or a thick thread may be run through the two holes provided for the purpose and the ends of the wire may be given a few twists or a knot, as the case may be. You should note that the rear compartment is not to be sealed as it will require to be opened again after the close of poll for switching ‘OFF’ the power and disconnecting the Ballot Unit.
12CHAPTER XII CONDUCTING MOCK POLL 1. Demonstration of ‘Clearing’ voting machine 1.1 Before commencing the poll, you have to satisfy not only yourself but also all polling agents, who are present at the polling station, that the voting machine is in perfect working order and that no votes have already been recorded in the machine. 1.2 For such satisfaction, you should first show to all present that all counts have been set to ZERO by pressing the ‘Clear’ button. The ‘Clear’ button is provided in a compartment in the result section of the control unit. This compartment is covered by an inner door and an outer cover. The inner door covers the compartments containing ‘Clear’ button, ‘Result I’ button and ‘Result II’ button, (in upgraded model of the voting machine the ‘Result I and ‘Result II’ buttons have been replaced by the ‘Result’ and ‘Print’ buttons) and the outer cover is provided above the inner door and covers also the compartment containing the ‘Close’ button. For reaching the ‘Clear’ button, you should first open the outer cover by pressing slightly inwards the latch provided on the left side. Thereafter, the inner door can be opened by inserting the thumb and a finger through the two apertures above the ‘Result I’ and ‘ Result II’ (‘Print” button in the upgraded model of the machine) buttons and then pressing the latches inside simultaneously slightly inwards and pulling the door up. In no case, this inner door should be forced open without releasing the latches in the manner described above as otherwise this most vital compartment will get damaged. 1.3 When the ‘Clear’ button is pressed, the Display Panels on the control unit will start displaying the following information sequentially:– Cd 9 to 0 01 0 02 0 03 04 05 06 0 0 0 07 0 08 0 09 0 End
