Catalyst Control Console 1024

The Catalyst Control Console provides the Pyrotechnic Operator with all the power and control needed to setup, test and execute a professional fireworks show by any method he/she chooses. It allows completely manual firing (choose the "rail/module" and cue to fire) to completely automated shows. Automatic stepped firing (Group Mode = set shells into different groups and fire the next available CUE in each group by touching the selected group button), Sequence Mode allowing totally automated firing of a complete show, Time-code Mode which is the same as Sequence Mode except that the show timing is derived from a master time-code source. For a detailed tour of the CCC front panel, you can go here.

Key Benefits & Features

  • Self contained power source with internal charger/power supply
  • State-of-the-art LCD color touch-screen operator display for all control functions
  • Globally unique Operator security "key" required for console access and arming

  • Built-in detachable LED work light with adjustable intensity
  • SD-card reader/writer for data transfers to/from Console
  • Computer data-port for data transfers to/from Console
  • Balanced/Unbalanced audio inputs for time-code sync inputs
  • Dead-man switch input for use during automated sequences
  • Controls up to 32 Firing Modules* for a total of 1024 cues
  • Able to fire all cues on all Firing Modules simultaneously, not limited to 8 Firing Modules like other systems
  • "Long-Run" Pyro-Power technology to allow operation of Firing Modules at great distances
  • "Bare-wire" interconnects between CCC and FM units (no connectors to break, fail or get dirty)
  • Rugged, waterproof case -- resists rough handling and ground moisture
  • When case is properly closed, it will even float its weight of 24 lbs!
  • Built-in Shell Timing utility to gather pre-fire times on various shells/manufacturers
  • Cue Check screens to verify Firing Module and Cue locations
  • Direct Fire screen to allow Firing Module and Cue firing to scripts
  • Group Fire screen to allow auto-step firing to scripts or assisted un-scripted shows
  • Sequence Fire screen to execute music synchronized shows
  • Group "lockout" feature to block firing of pre-assigned groups of cues without affecting remaining show
  • Configuration screen to set screen backlight brightness, work-light brightness, FM heart-beat, etc
  • Sequence Load screen to import show timing from SD-card or Data-port
  • Built-in enhanced 3-mode power supply/charger to run console off of AC and maintain proper battery charge
  • Internal batteries may be left on charge indefinitely without over-charging
  • Power supply/Charger status LED's indicate AC power present and Charging status
  • Power-on of Firing Modules monitors for over-current during startup and will detect shorts and shutdown
  • Supported by ShowSim software, the best Pyro-Show Scripting software available

* - In actual fact the CCC-1024 can address all 100 FM units.  However, anything above the 32 recommended unit maximum will begin draining the internal batteries at a rate faster than they can be charged if the unit is running on AC power.  This does not mean however that the CCC unit will be damaged, it means that special attention must be paid to how long the unit is in operation.  The CCC-3200 system is designed to handle up to 100 FM units without the limitation on battery charge and accomplishes this by several enhancements including upsized charger/power-supply and significantly increased battery capacity.
