MZ5b from Maestro-Zapper

The MZ5b zapper of Maestro-Zapper has an extremely simple packaging, obviously to offer a very low price.

It comes without 9V battery or any electrode, but with 2 PDF big manuals.  He is described as
“… the smallest, lowest priced zapper, in the world, in the category of zappers run by a micro-controller”

Alligator clips permits the use any kind of electrodes.

Mechanical specs :
“cabinet” dimensions : 1.0” x 0.5” x 0.3”
Overall length : 42”
Electrode type : Copper tubes 0.87” Dis x 5” long -
OPTIONAL
PCB Assembly : PCB industrial grade, 2 sides with solder mask, SMD components, 1% on critical components..

Comments : Despite of a very simple packaging, quality of materials and assembly is good.  The transparent shrinking tube lets see the electronic parts, giving an interesting look.

Electrical specs :
Battery : 9V, any kind.
Protected against reverse battery : YES
Test voltage : 8Vdc
Regulated voltage for output stage : 5V
Output impedance : 806_Ohms
Average current without load : Nominal : 1.8mA.  Measured : 1.86mA
Average current with dummy load : Measured : 2,9mA

A single led combines functions of:
    = Indication of selected program
    = Indication of battery’s voltage
    = Indication of active/pause periods
    = Indication of “well connected output”
    = Indication of end or beginning of a period
Freq_1 : Nominal : 30.303kHz.  Measured : 30.29kHz (0.4%) 55% duty cycle.
Freq_1a : Nominal : 10kHz.  Measured : 9.98kHz. Duty cycle : 80%
Freq_2 : Nominal : Narrow sweep around 2.5kHz.  93% duty cycle.
Program_1 : 3 times 7mn with 2 times 20mn pause in between.  Additional 7mn at 10kHz at the end.  Automatic shut down (sleep function).
Program_2 : Name : 2.5kHz.  Sweep frequency using 33 different frequencies, between 2424Hz and 2522Hz. 75 scans per second, for a maximum of 3h09mn.
Rise time : 118nS without load, 71nS under load, giving about 3.5MHz cut off frequency at -3dB

Comments : This zapper is packed with user friendly features despite its small size and its unusual packaging.
Overall :
With so many functions, 2 main frequencies, 2 automatic programs and its denuded packaging, this zapper is amazing, even without a buzzer.  Can it be effective with this small voltage?

At $28.00, where is the catch?

This low price, Its functions and automatic sequences puts it in the category of 1st zapper’s users.  Its voltage at the lower end of Dr Clark’s recommendations (5 to 10V) makes it acceptable for general, routine use.

(+++++)
=  This zapper is selling now (Feb 2010) $28.00US
=  Ideal for newcomers wanting to try this technology with the basic zapper’s effect (30kHz) or frequency zapping (2.5kHz), or as a backup zapper, or a traveler’s zapper, due to its minuscule size.
=  Regulated voltage : will give similar results.
=  Automatic sequences : Very handy
=  Very good documentation provided : General manual : 32 pages.  User’s manual : 13 pages.  H.Clark pathogen frequencies table : 8 pages.

You will not find a better Value on the market for this kind of zapper.

=  The voltage is acceptable, but a few more volts would not hurt.
=  The transparent heat shrinkable sleeve seems out of context.  Can it be improved?
=  Numerous LED’s functions seems confusing at first.

A twin brother of this version, the DS5, uses frequencies in a very special way to send the user in a restful Deep Sleep.

Maestro-Zapper comments on this "MZ5b" bench test :

=>  “At $32.00, where is the catch?”
The packaging and presentation of an electronic device (cabinet, escutcheon, geneeral packaging, …) very often counts for more than half of the cost price. 
Quite often, the colored carton box of washable fabric soap cost more than the product inside!
Simplifying the presentation to the extreme leads to very low priced to the customer’s end.

This zapper (MZ5) puts the use of a micro-controller in a range of price otherwise unattainable..  This zapper is intended as an incentive to an easy use and an easy access (price) to any first user.
Profit margin is so low, it makes potential retailers unhappy.

Add a buzzer, an appealing hand held case, a higher voltage, and you will end up with a more powerful device (MZ6 style)… and with a price 3 to 4 times higher. 

=>  “The voltage is acceptable, but a few more volts would not hurt.”
For the general purpose use this device is intended, a reliable 5V is sufficient, as many happy users will testify.  For more serious use, it request a longer session’s time. Those who have a sensitive skin, or are afraid of electricity really appreciates this lower voltage, still efficient according to Dr Hulda Clark.

In the original zapper, the output voltage without load is a mere 8.0V with a new battery.
On the program_1 with 30kHz, this zapper is less powerful than the original one, despite a lower 806_Ohm internal impedance, and about equal if a 6.5v battery's voltage is used.
With Program_2, 2.5kHz, 93% duty cycle is more powerful than the 30kHz, 55% Duty cycle.

30kHz with 7-20 automatic sequence to begin with, 2.5kHz continuous for more serious cases.
What else could we ask for…  If that is the case, look for the MZ3b

=>  “The transparent heat shrinkable sleeve  seems out of context.  Can it be improved?”
Initially, a transparent case, similar to USB packaging was in the drafting board, but initial quantity did not justify the price of the plastic mold needed.   When quantity will be acceptable, a better solution will emerge.

=>  Numerous LED’s functions seems confusing at first.
Thanks God, only at first! With routine, you get used very quickly
The indication of the battery’s voltage and the indication of “well connected output” are highly appreciated.

Everyone of these frequencies will make a high number of odd and even harmonics, due to the very long duty cycle of the waveform (RC = 93.5%).
