1. Safety regulations Date: November 23 2016 Safety regulations for firing of pyrotechnical effects aerial shells by using e-matches: The following instructions are for your understanding about important and basic safety principles. Our general safety requirements are based on our own experience plus the contact and feedback from our customers.

10. We recommend to have our products inspected every one to two years. Along with the testing of the rechargeable battery, a visual test as well as a functional test will prove that the operational safety standards are still met. 11.

22. Please be aware that through your pyrotechnical effects ionized gases are created. The thereby produced ions increase the conductivity within the air. This ionization process can cause an electrical arcing especially within the vicinity of high voltage overland cables. This may lead to lethal consequences for the pyrotechnicians and other persons.
31. When checking the various system parameters as well as during firing, nobody is allowed within the danger zone. 32. After the effects have been fired, an ample amount of time should be given before disassembling the pyrotechnical setup. Before securing possible unfired effects first disconnect the corresponding wiring and then switch off the receivers.
4. Description of indicators and control elements Antenna Firing output Insert quick-fastening clamps here LED indicator 'Operation' Flashes in blue color while the device is in operation Sensor field 'On' To control the device with the magnetic pen Battery compartment The battery compartment is on the bottom side of the receiver.
6. Insertion of batteries, power supply, operation time First you have to insert new batteries. Please mind correct polarity. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries and close the lid again afterwards. You should remove the batteries if you do not use the device for a longer time. The maximum operation time is approx.
9. Batteries, operation time and battery monitoring Some commercially available alkaline batteries show a strong decline of power if used in cold environments. If you use the device at low temperatures, approx. below +10°C, we recommend to use AA lithium batteries. These batteries have also a voltage of 1.5 Volts. Once the device is switched on the batteries are constantly being discharged.
You should program the required firing channel right after the teach-in sequence and test if the device correctly responds to the firing commands. By a short activation of the sensor field 'On' you can quit the teach-in mode and switch the device off. 11.
12. Radio range The maximum radio range that can be achieved with this device strongly depends on the conditions of the individual application. The following general rule applies: The higher the antenna is positioned the better the reception is. The alignment of the antenna is important, too. Due to the fact that the transmitter antenna is mounted vertically the receiver's antenna should be aligned vertically as well.
If the clamp is squeezed the mechanism opens and you can insert a solid or stranded wire and clamp it. In case of wear and tear the quick-fastening clamps can easily be replaced. These quick-fastening clamps are only obtainable from Galaxis Showtechnik GmbH. Alternatively banana plugs may be used with the sockets, too.
Serial circuitry: Up to 10 e-matches can be fired if connected in series. In this case it does not matter if igniters of type 'A' or 'U' are being used. With serial circuitry you should pay attention that only igniters of the same type are being connected together.
18. Notes regarding the housing and the protection against humidity and moisture The device is not waterproof. Protect it against moisture and water. In case of moisture ingress or if the batteries have leaked out the device is no longer allowed to be used. Opening the housing by removing the screws is prohibited.
22. Quick reference, the most important facts on a single sheet Basic requirement: Controller PFS/PFC operating in frequency 434.075 MHz (i.e. radio channel 41) Batteries: 2 pcs. alkaline 1.5 Volts, size AA Switching on: Short activation of sensor field 'On', devices starts, receiving mode Switching off: Short activation of sensor field 'On' How to determine the battery status: Activate the sensor field 'On' for several seconds while the device is in receiving mode.
23. Technical data General data: Radio parameters Frequency Band: 433.05 - 434.79 MHz Channel Spacing: 25 kHz Number of radio channels: 1 Frequencies: default and fixed: 434.075 MHz available upon request: 434.600 MHz or 434.700 MHz Modulation: FM narrow band Frequency Shift: +/- 3 kHz Radio equipment class according to 2014/53/EU (RED): 1 Radio equipment type: non-specific short range device,...
