Firing Module Wiring

When attaching the ematches, a few simple guidelines can make wire-lead management and wire removal very easy.  In the picture below, you will notice that all ematch wires enter from the left side.  In addition, they are in four groups of eight-wire bundles.  This makes isolation of a faulty ematch easier than if all wires entered in one mass and also has the advantage that the top of the case can be closed with the wires in place and made effectively water resistant to the point of allowing the case to remain exposed to rain or moisture without affecting the operation of the Firing Module. If so desired, the show can even be fired during the rain.


PyroClip use

This small animation shows just how easy it is to use the PyroClip!


Firing Module Show Setups

Example #1:

Use of typical Pyro-Power cable with under-sized long run to a Firing Module

 

Example #2:

Same setup as example #1 above, but taken to the extreme...

 

Example #3:

A typical show setup using three separate firing locations

The Demo Show above was fired on July 2006 (62.6MB).  It consisted of a Pyro-Musical that was developed using ShowSim, involved the use of 25 FM units, 800 total Cues, 750 shells and 50 cakes.  The timings used were default pre-fire times in ShowSim due to the fact that the shell manufacturers were unknown, as were the shell types.  The show  audio track was started simultaneously with the CCC unit in Sequence mode (no time track was used) and the final ending after the audio track finished (last 10 seconds) was fired by manually by dropping back to the Direct Fire mode and manually firing the last 20 shells. (Car alarms were courtesy of the clueless and were not part of the show)

Example #4:

A longer-run than the previous three is shown below.  Note that the main PyroPower runs are always joined together, with the smaller groups connected using a smaller gauge wire.  This helps distribute the power better over extreme distances. Note that the last Firing Module is located 7100ft from the CCC unit.
