How the system works in Two Different Firing Modes 1) Use Transmitter A for Dividual Firing Mode There are 12 cues (1-12) on the firing module and 12 fire buttons (1-12) on the transmitter. Press a fire button on the transmitter to fire the same numbered cue on the firing module. 2) Use Transmitter B for Interval Firing Mode The buttons are labeled 0.1-0.9, 1.0, 2.0, ALL. Press the desired interval (in sec.) that you want to have between cues. Immediately, all cues will be fired in order 1-12, with the selected interval (in sec.) between each cue. Push ALL to fire all cues at once. C. Before Attaching E-matches/Igniters 1) Installing or Connecting Batteries Internal batteries: Remove Battery Cover (#14) from battery enclosure. Insert 6xAA batteries into Battery Enclosure (#13) and replace Battery Cover (#14).
External battery: Plug alligator clip wire into External Battery Jack (#6), and use red alligator clip to connect the positive (red) terminal of the SLA battery, and black alligator clip to connect the negative (black) terminal. The firing module will work with either internal batteries or external powers. It will use the power with the higher voltage. 2) Safety Tests Do following steps before attaching e-matches / igniters. Step 1: Turn on the Main Switch (#7) and set Rocker Switch (#3) to Learn. If the battery voltage of Digital Readout Meter (#2) is blank While there is LED(s) which is on, do not use this module, because the battery voltage is too low to have the module work normally. Turn off the Main Switch (#7) and remove internal or external batteries, replace with fully charged batteries or fresh batteries. Step 2: If the firing module is not synchronized to the transmitters, perform “Learn Codes” on (see “Learn Codes / Clear Codes” below) before performing the next step. Step 3: Set Rocker Switch (#3) to Test. All Cue Fire LEDs (#9) and Cue Test LEDs (#8) should be turned on. Any unlit cue is defective. Step 4: Set Rocker Switch (#3) to Arm. All Cue Fire LEDs (#9) and Cue Test LEDs (#8) should be off. If any Cue Fire LED (#9) stays lit, then that cue is defective. Important: Do not attach any e-match/igniter to defective cues under any circumstances, otherwise, that e-match/igniter will fire prematurely. Premature ignition of fireworks can result in death or bodily harm. Step 5: Set Rocker Switch (#3) to Arm. Extend the Antenna (#1). Press and release any Button 1 to 12 on transmitter A, the matching Cue Fire LED (#9) should flash on and off. Repeat this for different buttons. Step 6: Set Rocker Switch (#3) to Arm. Press and release any Button (except ALL) on transmitter B, each Cue Fire LED (#9) should flash on and off in order using the selected interval. Push ALL and all Cue Fire LEDs (#9) should flash on and off. Step 7: Turn off Main Switch (#7). Retract Antenna (#1). If the above safety tests are successful, you may attach lead wires of the igniters to the Negative Terminal (#10) and Positive Terminal (#11). D. Some Available Functions: ◆◆Learn Codes / Clear Codes You must synchronize (learn) the A & B transmitters to one or more firing modules before they can communicate. Extend the Antenna (#1). Turn on the Main Switch (#7) and set Rocker Switch (#3) to Learn. Press Learn Button (#5) and hold until Learn LED (#4) is lit. Press any button on Transmitter A within 5 seconds and, the Learn LED (#4) will blink twice, the learning is successful. Repeat the process with Transmitter B. Note: The firing module can store the learn codes from one A transmitter and one B transmitter only. If you synchronize another A or B transmitter it will replace the learning of the previous A or B transmitter. You can also synchronize the same transmitter to several firing modules, this allows you to fire the same cue on each synchronized receiver at the same time. To clear learning codes, press the Learn Button (#5) and hold for more than 10 seconds, the Learn LED (#4) will light and blink three times, the codes are now cleared. ◆◆Test You can test the continuity of any e-match/igniter that is connected to the cue terminals. Once all the e-matches/igniters are connected, turn on the Main Switch (#7), set Rocker Switch (#3) to Test, if Cue Test LED (#8) is lit and Cue Fire LED (#9) is unlit, that cue has continuity. Otherwise there is a bad connection or a bad e-match/igniter.
◆◆Arm Once the e-matches/igniters have been tested (previous paragraph), the firing module is ready to fire them. Extend the Antenna (#1), turn on the Main Switch (#7) and set Rocker Switch (#3) to Arm, Arm LED (#4) will be lit. Press a button on a “learned” (see “Learn Codes” above) transmitter to send a signal, Cue Fire LED (#9) will flash, and the e-match/igniter on that cue will fire. See “B. How system works in Two Different Firing Modes” for more details. When finished firing cues, turn off the Main Switch (#7) and retract the Antenna (#1). ◆Low Power Alarm◆ The Digital Readout Meter (#2) will blink continuously when battery voltage is less than 6.5 volts, no matter what Rocker Switch (#3) is set to. Now would be a good time to replace the batteries as they have limited use. Turn off the Main Switch (#7) and remove internal or external batteries, replace with fully charged batteries or fresh batteries. ◆◆Digital Readout Meter Set Rocker Switch (#3) to Learn or Arm and the Digital Readout Meter (#2) shows the voltage of the battery.
