lethal consequences for the pyrotechnicians and other persons. Please note
that wind conditions can be totally different a few meters above the
ground.
23. Please assure that the firing can only be initiated through the
pyrotechnician. Keep firing system under lock and key! Within our safety
concept, all firing systems are set with individual codes, which inhibit
unintended and accidental firing through third parties. If requested we can
also supply systems with the same coding. This may be necessary if in a
company more than one transmitter is used or when companies exchange the
units between each other.
24. With our using the key code numbers 901 and 311, we are using a
standard key code, which can also be found in other products. On a
customer's request we can also supply other key codes.
25. Please ensure that the relevant safety distances are met by everybody.
The safety margins are to be kept as from the beginning of the project
until the pyrotechnician releases the area after firing and containment of
unfired effects and shells.
26. Connect at all times first the e-match to a 100% non-live firing line,
which is also not connected to a firing unit. A pyrotechnical effect is
given from the time onwards as 'armed' when the e-match wires are connected
to the firing unit. This is independent if the units are on or off!
27. In the interest of your own safety and protection of the devices always
use a sufficient length of firing wire.
28. Along with a sufficient length of firing wire you should ensure also
the following:
In the field of display fireworks: The fireworks shells are only allowed to
be loaded after the mortars have been stabilized and secured. Only after
loading it is then allowed that the e-matches are connected to the
respective firing units. At all times the most important rule is to never
put your head or other part of the body into or over the mortar opening.
This would also apply to other pyrotechnical effects.
In the field of special effects: Depending on the explosiveness of the
pyrotechnical effects or materials that are being used it is advisable to
proceed with higher care and attention (lies within the pyrotechnician's
responsibility) and this could include for example a short circuit bridge
over the contacts of the e-match to prevent unintended firing. Also it is
possible to make a physical switch breakage in the firing line, which is
only then closed when all safety instructions are met and kept! Should
there be any unclarified situations, then discussions with the safety
authorities are to be taken until all is clear for everyone. When it comes
to the safety of your projects we are at all times at your disposal to
develop a customized safety concept.
29. Make sure the devices are switched off before connecting the e-matches.
30. When stripping the cable insulation of the igniters and connecting
them, you have to make sure that they are not stripped so long so that the
conductors can touch each other. Short circuits between different outputs
must be avoided by all means because this may cause unwanted firings.
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
