ING THE SYSTEM The system is expandable in the following ways 1 UP TO 3 RECEIVERS GIVING 60 INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESSABLE CUES Program receiver 1 with the transmitter slide switch in position 1 program receiver 2 with the transmitter slide switch in position 2 program receiver 3 with the transmitter slide switch in position 3 Each cue is accessible by the operator 60 Cue Configuration 2010 www easypyro com E 2 UP 16 RECEIVERS GIVING 320 CUES Each receiver will need to be set up with an address in the following way 1 Press ADD button 2 Use RIGHT ARROW and UP ARROW to set 1 of 16 addresses 3 Press ADD button again All the receivers will need to be programmed with the transmitter in the usual way except the transmitter slide switch must be in position 4 at all times The cues can only be fired in the ALL STEP and CONT firing modes INFORMATION For CONT mode all receivers need to have the same time delay Note This is because for receivers above number 1 a receiver offsets the time it starts sequencing from by the following formula Time to sequence begin delay x 20 x receiver number 1 Example Assume time delay is set to 1 second and 4 receivers are in the system When CONT is pressed all receivers receive the signal at the same time Receiver 1 starts to sequence immediately Receiver 2 starts to sequence after 20 seconds Receiver 3 starts to sequence after 40 seconds Rec
3. eiver 4 starts to sequence after 60 seconds etc There is no communication between receivers so if for example receiver 3 is OFF then receivers 1 2 and 4 will still operate albeit with a 20 second gap between receivers 2 and 4 CONT and STEP mode will only work ONCE All receivers will need to be switched OFF and ON again to use those modes again Example 6 receivers are set up giving 120 cues Press CONT and all cues will fire in sequence with the programmed delay However CONT will not be able to be used again until all receivers are switched OFF and ON again Example 10 receivers are set up giving 200 cues Press STEP and each cue will fire one after the other on each sequential button press Holding down STEP will cause multiple cues to fire rapidly However once all cues are fired STEP will not be able to be used again until all receivers are switched OFF and ON again Example 16 receivers are set up giving 320 cues Press ALL and all cues will fire on all receivers ALL can be used again without switching the receivers OFF and ON again 2010 www easypyro com 6 2010 www easypyro com Each cue is addressable only in CONT STEP and ALL fire mode 320 Cue Configuration

5. n CONTINUOUS FIRE STEP FIRE or ALL FIRE modes using up to 16 receivers This means that the operator does not have full access to each cue The operator may only fire the cues manually in sequence STEP FIRE mode continuously with a preset delay between each cue CONTINUOUS FIRE mode or fire all cues simultaneously ALL FIRE mode Each mode needs to be set on the receiver before it is used The operator cannot switch between modes without returning to the receiver This is a safety feature to prevent the operator activating a mode accidentally A receiver can be easily paired with more than 1 transmitter or transmitter identity each handheld transmitter has 3 separate selectable identities In this way receivers can be made to operate in parallel at the same time or in series one after the other or completely independently 2010 www easypyro com 1 CHARGING THE SYSTEM The Battery Status Light will only operate when the unit is switched ON and in FIRE mode However the system will charge even when switched off Battery Status Light Description RED flashing Battery Low RED steady Battery Charging RED GREEN flashing Battery Almost Full GREEN steady Battery Full Lead Acid Batteries naturally discharge over time To keep the battery in good condition it is recommended the system is charged every 3 months Storing the system in extremely low or high temperatures will shorten the life of
