PyroSure Controller £995
The PyroSure Digital Controller is housed in a rugged heavy duty ABS case with a solid aluminium control panel
One of the main features of the system is the easy to use touch screen with user friendly interfaces.
Cue selection and entry have never been easier with most functions offering defaults to speed processes up and make the system more self explanatory. The simple numeric key pad has 7 function keys used to speed up selection or avoid lengthy command processes.
Other features on the controller are an emergency stop button, shows can be restarted at the exact instant it was stopped, with or without music.
Arm key, which is supplemented by an on screen security code entry. All arm keys are identical, whilst each security code is unique - allocated by the system owner.
XLR connection for stereo output to a PA.
2 USB connectors for downloading firing script or supplementary 5v external power source.
Power pack consisting of 4 standard AA rechargeable batteries. For low temperature use at -20C see our special low temperature Industrial batteries.
A set of 2600 mah batteries can fire several shows. If you require several more hours of operation simply use an external 5V power pack and a USB cable. There is no need to sit with the control panel operating for hours, every aspect of the show can be verified in seconds and fired immediately.
The System uses one of the most advanced chip in the communications industry.
Network Set-up automatically scans 12 channels to avoid interference. Each channel has 65,000 network addresses available.
It has a range of up to 1.6 km using line of sight.
Fully encrypted transmission, the controller is capable of delivering data packages way beyond the requirement of a firing system.
Two chips are available; a North American version and an International version which is approved for use in the EU and Japan.
Digital 24-Cue Wireless Module £299
PyroSure Modules are compact and manufactured in extruded aluminium.
Each module communicates with the Controller, stores information and processes commands.
It has one function, to gather information on up to 24 cues and fire them exactly when required. In doing so, in the background, it relays information for up to 98 other modules in the network.
The LED display screen provides information on signal strength, battery power and available / connected cues.
Cue continuity can be checked simply by turning the module on which sends a 2 mah current through every port.
A temporary loss of signal will not affect the functioning of this self contained unit and is detectable by the Controller.
Power is supplied by only 4 AA 2000 mah rechargeable batteries providing hours of operating time. Embracing the latest engineering designs has allowed us to have this function, a massive lead acid is simply no longer a site requirement.
3 x 18000 uf capacitors are used to provide the fire power, producing 60 amps at 30v.
Each port can fire hundreds of standard igniters in one hit, upscaling to allow any module to fire many thousands of such igniters in one display across the 24 cues.
Accuracy of timings for firing cues is provided MOSFET switches. Every port has an individual power circuit, each controlled by a further master circuit.
Pulse time is fully automated from a standard 80 ms down to 10 ms when the time between cues in one module is as short as 0.01 second.
Each Module has cue addresses in 6 groups of 4 connectors A(1-4) - F(1-4).
Programming a Module is simply done by the main Controller unit transmitting a set of instructions in milliseconds. Confirmation from the Module that it has received the instructions is available.
