System FIREMASTER IV "Millennium Three" User’s Manual WARNINGS AND GENERAL SAFETY RULES The following rules, suggestions and limitations, should be carefully followed, both to comply with the most common safety provisions and to avoid severe and permanent damages to the FIREMASTER SYSTEM, still obtaining the best performance. Use of the FIREMASTER SYSTEM and its ancillary units, is strictly reserved to pyrotechnic professionals, duly authorized to fireworks use, following the law provisions of each respective Country. U# Don’t modify or try to adjust in any way the internal circuitry. U, Don’t store the units in excessively damp or dusty places nor on unstable surfaces. U¼ Avoid any water spray on the unit’s front panel. The units ARE NOT COMPLETELY WATERPROOF! Dry immediately any part subject to accidental fresh water spray or rain shower. Disconnect and put aside any unit accidentally sprayed with SEA WATER: these units must have immediate service in order to clean completely the internal parts. If an immediate technical service is not possible, try to remove the salt water using DISTILLED WATER. UNever clean the front-panels using solvents, alcohol, acids or bases. Always wipe gently the surfaces using a soft cloth with neutral and nofoam detergent. Avoid scratching the painted surfaces! During the show execution, protect your units from the incandescent fallout closing the protection covers on the panels. UAvoid as long as possible, to place your units directly on the ground (mainly if it is wet, muddy or frozen). The units should be always raised from the ground by at least 50cm – one meter using non-flammable supports: cardboard, plastic or wood boxes must be avoided! Ua Avoid any contact between different units, both directly and by means of other external metallic parts or surfaces. Avoid in general any contact between different working units. UÃÃIt is NOT suggested to operate the System when the ambient temperature is OVER 45°C o BELOW -15°C. System FIREMASTER IV "Millennium Three" User’s Manual LÃÃThe units must be stored in dry places at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C (maximum limits). U¥ Avoid overcharging the internal batteries exceeding the prefixed charging time. 12 hours are enough for a complete re-charge when the batteries are in good conditions. LÅ Always switch OFF all the units before store them in the deposit. L Immediately replace all failed batteries or suspected to be detective (the price of a single battery doesn’t worth a compromised show!) C Discard the failed batteries in strict accordance with the recycling and disposal rules existing for this special material. Should any unit emit unusual smell or smoke, switch it OFF immediately and remove the internal batteries. UaAvoid any accidental contact between the metallic parts of the unit and other external circuits or metallic structures. Don’t operate the units near or inside deposits of flammable material, explosives or devices sensible to electromagnetic fields. Don’t store or recharge the units inside deposits of explosives, flammables or inside restricted areas. Don’t switch ON the units in presence of high concentrations of combustible dust or solvent vapors. Ua Never connect your units to other instruments not otherwise specified as ORIGINAL FIREMASTER ACCESSORY or expressly declared compatible by the producer. Ua Don’t connect or dis-connect the electrical squibs while the units are switched ON. Always switch OFF your units before proceeding with the squib connection. Don’t use testers, ohmmeters or circuit checkers to test the line continuity when the wires are already connected to the unit’s terminals! Always perform any measurement on the squib while it is DISCONNECTED from the unit! UaImperatively do NOT use external voltage sources trying to increase the voltage or the current of the System. System FIREMASTER IV "Millennium Three" User’s Manual Ly Clear the firing site from the personnel when, with mortars loaded and squibs connected, the units are switched ON. Clear the site as well during the whole programming and test steps on the lines and sequences. Always perform any programming and test operation maintaining the maximum safety condition for all the operators. L³Remove the safety key from the units during all the operations involving the squib connection, mortar loading, etc. Avoid any unauthorized use of the System by personnel not qualified or in the wrong moment. UªImperatively DO NOT USE cellular phones, cordless, walkietalkies, transmitters, brush motors, high-energy electrical devices, industrial lamps with power reactors, etc. in proximity of the FIREMASTER SYSTEM and its ancillary units while operative (both in SAFE and FIRE mode) and mainly when the squibs are already connected to the system. UaStrictly avoid any electrical contact between the squib lines and any other external circuit or metallic part. Also avoid any contact between the squib wires and metallic parts of the same unit. To each connector must be present only the insulated wires of a single firing line completely free from any other contact. Ua Carefully insulate all the squib terminal junctions and avoid any electrical leakage (wet junctions or lines) between wires of different lines or with respect the ground or metallic surfaces. L NEVER use the FIREMASTER SYSTEM and its peripheral units for any other purpose but the control and firing of PYROTECHNIC SHOWS. FAILING TO OBSERVE ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE WARNINGS, COULD LEAD TO SEVERE FAILURES, DAMAGES TO PEOPLE AND MATERIAL, COMPLETELY OUTSIDE OF THE PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY, OTHER THAN PERMANENT DAMAGES AND THE IMMEDIATE WARRANTY VOIDING! System FIREMASTER IV "Millennium Three" User’s Manual PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST INSTALLATION 1) Lift the units from the shipping packages (box, container, etc.) 2) Check carefully for any dispersed accessory (cables, antenna, software CD, etc.) before discarding the packing material. 3) Proceed with an accurate visual inspection of the units in order to discover possible damages, breaks, tampering, etc. 4) The following items should be checked in particular: • Enclosure, top cover and fasteners • Connectors • Front panels 5) Shake each unit in order to discover noises due to internal parts loosening. 6) All contacts and other exposed metal parts should not present traces of corrosion or oxidation 7) No traces of liquid spillage (batteries) must be present. Should any of the above problems be present, DON’T OPERATE THE INSTRUMENT but contact immediately the Service Center! The units of the FIREMASTER series are usually supplied batteries ALREADY INSTALLED AND READY-TO-USE: happen however as, due to a long storage period before installation, the batteries become partially discharged. In this case the unit SHOULD BE NOT INSTALLED but a COMPLETE CHARGE of the batteries must be performed. with the it could the first previous NOTE: The batteries are subject to a natural auto-discharge during the storage periods. The discharge rate is function of the battery residual life and of the ambient temperature (higher the temperature, faster the autodischarge). In particular climatic conditions and for very prolonged inactivity periods (over 60 days), it may happen as the batteries fall BELOW THE MINIMUM ALLOWED LEVEL FOR A REGULAR RE-CHARGE. In this case the batteries must be considered as PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. A single charging cycle can be still attempted. If this last attempt shouldn’t succeed, DO NOT INSIST AGAIN, but REPLACE THE DAMAGED BATTERIES WITH NEW ONES. Contact the Service Centre to obtain details about the batteries replacement. We recall here the RECYCLING RULES for the battery disposal: avoid at any extent to discard the failed batteries along with the normal urban waste, but always ask to a specialized collecting centre for this type of special, polluting waste! System FIREMASTER IV "Millennium Three" User’s Manual PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS FOR THE STARTUP 1) Before switching ON any unit of the FIREMASTER series, remember to connect the antenna (only for the units fitted with this component) reading carefully the User’s manual. 2) The continuous use of a FIREMASTER unit without the antenna properly installed, could lead to severe damage of the internal circuitry! 3) The unit will be switched ON using the safety key or the general power switch. 4) Check immediately as the unit behavior is the correct one described in the User’s manual. 5) Should any irregular behavior be noticed or emission of smoke or sparks, SWITCH OFF THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY and DO NOT ATTEMPT A SECOND TIME!
