With this holder, and the screw included with the device, the RX2-1K Gas is mounte dto the gasprojector. 2.1.1.5 PROGRAMMING SOCKET The 7-pole socket is used as a programming socket for the RX2-1K Gas. It allows you to upload software updates, and settings via the stepper software. -
Page 9: Usage Of The Rx2-1K Gas
3 USAGE OF THE RX2-1K GAS 3.1 SETUP OF THE RX2-1K GAS Should the RX2-1K Gas be bought separately as an accessory for the gasprojector, it must be mounted to the device, prior to use. The following components will be needed: 1.) RX2-1K Gas with holder... - Page 10 The newest version features a separate socket for the RX2-1K Gas. Here you can connect the cable directly with the supplied plug (marked in red below). Older circuit boards do not feature this socket. In this case the cables must be fixed to another socket.

(see GX2 manual). When using the RX2-1K Gas this also plays a role. Should a specific value be entered, then the gasprojector will ignite for this time, even if the ignition impulse of the receiver should be shorter. -
Page 12: Settings Via The Transmitter Menu
In the manual of the X2 series you can see how to add a receiver manually or automatically to the transmitter. Should the RX2-1K Gas' be added to the transmitter, you can now change the settings the following way. - Page 13 Press Plus to open the details of the first receiver. The details of the RX2-1K Gas also show you its boxnumber. With Plus you can enter the second detail window. The second detail window shows the channelnumber of the device and the number of projectors.

Page 14: Settings Via The Stepper Software
3.4 SETTINGS VIA THE STEPPER SOFTWARE All settings of the RX2-1K Gas can be changed with the stepper software in combination with the Bootloader cable. Additionally to the Box- and channelnumber and number of projectors used, you can also edit the opening times, and step times of the predefined sequences. This is mainly used for manual ignitions, since the opening times are automatically set via the software during show creation. -
Page 15: Stepp Time Sequences
EXAMPLE: Below, the channelnumber of the RX2-1K Gas has been changed to 3. To ensure number 3 is not assigned two times, the previous channel 3 has been changed to number 1. 3.4.6 OPENING TIMES SINGLE IGNITION To edit the opening time of a single ignition, the preferred time can be entered into the time field of the first channel. -

22. Below, the opening time has been set to 0,4 seconds. 3.4.8 UPLOADING THE STEPPER PROGRAMM To upload the settings of the stepper software onto your RX2-1K Gas, the Bootloader cable is needed (see below). The drivers for it can be downloaded from our homepage. -
Page 17: Usage Of The Device In A Show
1.) How many gasprojectors with radio control are used? 2.) How many ignitions are made? The RX2-1K Gas can save up to 400 single ignitions during an automated show. Every RX2-1K Gas saves its own signle ignitions, and ALL group ignitions and sequences used in the show. - Page 18 3.5.2.2 PREPARATION / FUNCTIONS IN THE SHOWCREATOR PREPARED SETTINGS To use the full features of the ShowCreator, you must add the boxnumber used for the gasprojectors. Under box settings select the type "Brenner", as seen below. Should it be selected correctly, the number below the ignition channels should read "72".
- Page 19 ADDING EFFECTS The single ignitions and predefined sequences can be added to the show via Box- and channelnumber. The channelnumbers 1-16 are the single ignitions, channel 20 and up are the group ignitions and sequences. A list of all predefined channelnumbers can be found in the attachments. CHANGING THE OPENING TIME In the effect time column, you can enter the preferred opening time of the gasprojector effect, directly in seconds.

ATTACHMENT 2 – STANDARDSEQUENCES OF THE RX2-1K GAS The following table shows the standard programmed sequences of the RX2-1K Gas. Important: The following table is only true for usage with 5 gasprojectors. The overall time of the sequences is higher or lower, depending on the number of devices used. - Page 24 From outside to the inside 0,30s 0,30s 1,20s From outside to the inside 0,50s 0,20s 1,20s From inside to the outside 0,06s 0,10s 0,56s From inside to the outside 0,10s 0,20s 0,80s From inside to the outside 0,10s 0,30s 1,00s From inside to the outside 0,30s 0,30s...
