7 The function 'Event Memory'
The device is equipped with a so-called 'event memory'. As soon as a firing command or stepping
sequence is being executed or a hazard zone is being disabled this event will be stored in the
memory. After the show you can check which outputs have been fired on the receiver and which
outputs did not fire due to disabled hazard zones or stopped stepping sequences.
When the receiver is switched off, the Event Memory is additionally stored so that it can also be called
up the next time the receiver is switched on to investigate the causes of errors at a later point in time.
If you want to access the event memory again after you have switched off the receiver, switch it on
and navigate to the 'Recall Event Memory?' submenu item. After pressing 'Up', the event memory of
the last operation is recalled. The event memory is automatically saved again when the device is
switched off and is available the next time the device is put into operation if it is recalled again.
This is a useful function during fault finding and should help you to locate the cause of a misfired e-
match.
TIP
8 Radio range
The range is up to 400 m under good conditions.
The range can be easily increased if the device is positioned higher or if the antenna is installed at an
elevated position by using an antenna extension cable.
It is a general rule that the higher the antenna is positioned the better the reception will be. Please do
not hesitate to inquire for more information about the various possibilities of range improvement.
If your projects demand a high range, please contact us so that we can work out a tailored solution for
your application.
The 'F' next to the result of the resistance metering means that this output
has fired at least one time since power-up of the device.
The 'S' represents 'stepping sequence'. This character is being displayed if
a stepping sequence has been initiated but the output has not been fired
either because the menu has been entered or the firing mode has been
switched off at the controller before the time elapsed.
The 'x' means that the hazard zone which has been assigned to this device
has been deactivated. All outputs which have not been marked previously
with 'F' for 'Fire' or 'S' for 'stepping sequence' will be labelled with ´'x' in this
case.
The contents of the event memory can also be checked at the controller
PFC Advanced or the PFM Advanced USB Radio Modem by using the
remote access functions.
