  • Page 3: Specification

    Equal : Different : Clock : Step : Burst DESCRIPTION The FireStorm SEQ18 / SEQ36 are highly flexible pyrotechnic, firework and SFX sequencers. They are intended for the safe and reliable ignition of pyrotechnics and control of solenoid valves and other SFX equipment.

  • Page 4: Operating Modes

    OPERATING MODES The sequencer has 5 operating modes. Equal : Different : Clock : Step : Burst EQUAL MODE Equal Mode sets the same interval between all channels. The channels can be fired in groups. Each successive Trigger Input will fire the next group of channels.

  • Page 6: Clock Mode

    CLOCK MODE Clock Mode sets the absolute time a Channel will fire, relative to a clock that starts when the first Trigger Input is received. Example 1 Channel 1 will fire 0.5 seconds after the Trigger Input is received. Example 2 Channel 2 will fire 2.35 seconds after the Trigger Input is received.

  • Page 7: Step Mode

    STEP MODE Step Mode will step to the next channel on each successive Trigger Input received. No timing setup is required. Once all channels are fired the Trigger Output will pulse on each successive Trigger Input. This allows multiple sequencers to be connected together for longer sequences. BURST MODE Burst Mode will fire a user selected group of channels with an equal time delay between each channel in a group, on each successive Trigger Input.

  • Page 8: Setup

    SETUP Various options can be selected in the setup menu. SETTING Pulse Independently set how long each channel fires for, range 0.01 - 9.99 seconds. Language English : Spanish : German : Italian : French Reset Reset all settings to default. MEMORY An entire series of delays can be saved in each mode.

  • Page 9: General Operation

    GENERAL OPERATION CONTROLS BUTTON Menu Press to return to the main menu / go back. Simulate the current settings on the LEDs. The channels will not fire. This is useful for visualizing the current settings. Test Press and hold to check continuity on all channels. Fire Only operational when sequencer is ARMED.

  • Page 10: Method Of Operation

    METHOD OF OPERATION Note: We recommend minimising the amount of time the unit is switched on when pyrotechnics are connected. This minimises the chance of an accidental firing. 1. Set key to ON. Ensure unit passes self test. 2. Set mode using rotary knob. 3.

  • Page 11: Trigger Input

    TRIGGER INPUT The sequencer is very flexible and may be triggered in several ways. The Trigger Input LED will light whenever an external trigger is sensed. This is useful for setup and testing. The sequencer will only fire channels when key is in the ARM position. The ARM LED will be on whenever the key is in ARM position.

  • Page 12: Trigger Output

    TRIGGER OUTPUT The Trigger Output terminals can be used to connect the sequencer to another sequencer. Several units can be chained for more shots. When operating in EQUAL and STEP mode the Trigger Input pulses will be passed through to the second sequencer and so on. The Trigger Output LED will light whenever there is a Trigger Output pulse.

  • Page 13: Battery Charge

    BATTERY CHARGE The sequencer has 2 x 12V lead acid batteries installed. Only use the supplied smart charger to charge the batteries. The charge port should not be used to power the device directly. The battery charger LED will flash orange when charging and steady green when battery is full.
