followed completely.
DESCRIPTION
Model: KFE2204-pro is a 20 cue advanced wireless firing system
for pyrotechnics and fireworks.
It is expandable up to 60 cues direct firing using up to 3 receivers.
Direct firing means the operator has full access to each individual cue
and can fire a cue on command.
It is also expandable up to 320 cues in CONTINUOUS, STEP or ALL fire mode
using up to 16 receivers. This means that the operator does not have full
access to each cue. The operator may only fire the cues manually in
sequence (STEP mode), continuously with a preset delay between each cue
(CONTINUOUS mode) or fire all cues simultaneously (ALL mode).
CHARGING THE SYSTEM
The status light will only operate when the unit is switched on.
However the system will charge even when switched off.
The green FULL light indicates that the system is fully charged. The system
will automatically stop charging when the green FULL light is illuminated.
When the system is fully charged the charger can be disconnected. The
green FULL light will not illuminate when the charger is not connected.
The red CHARGING light indicates that the battery is charging when the
charger is connected. The red CHARGING light will also illuminate when
the charger is not connected and the battery is low.
It is normal for the green FULL light and red CHARGING light to alternately
blink on and off when the system is connected to the charger and fully charged.
It is normal for both the green FULL light and red CHARGING light
to briefly illuminate when the system is first powered on.
BASIC OPERATION
Note: When using multiple receivers, it is good practise to re-programme
each receiver with the correct remote control before use.
Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
For maximum safety please follow the firing procedure below.
1. Clear the receiver and program it with a transmitter.
2. Ensure SAFETY SWITCH is keyed to OFF and FUNCTION
SELECTION is set to TEST.
3. Connect igniters.
4. Check continuity. The display will read “E[XX]” where [XX] is
the cue numbers that DO NOT have continuity.
5. Set the correct mode of operation (X.XX, ALL, SINGLE, STEP).
6. Set FUNCTION SELECTION to FIRE.
7. Key SAFETY SWITCH to ON.
8. Extend receiver antenna.
9. Ensure the area is safe and secure and retreat to a safe distance.
10. Extend transmitter antenna.
11. Switch transmitter ON.
12. Set transmitter SLIDE SWITCH to correct position.
13. Fire desired cues.
Transmitter Control Description
Button Description
1 - 20 Fires individual cue.
ALL Fires all the cues.
STEP Fires the cues sequentially with each successive
button press. Holding STEP down will cause
multiple cues to fire.
CONT Fires the cues in sequence with a set delay
between each cue.
Slide Switch (1,2,3,4) Selects which receiver to control when up to 3
receivers are used. Should be set in position 4
when the system is configured with more than 3
receivers.
Receiver Control Description
Button Description
Function Selection Controls the mode of the receiver. TEST mode
(FIRE, OFF, TEST) tests the cues for continuity. OFF mode turns
the receiver off. FIRE mode allows the system to
be programmed and cues to be fired.
Safety Switch (ON, OFF) This arms and disarms the system.
Program Programs the receiver with a new transmitter.
Up-Arrow Increments the selected delay digit.
Right-Arrow Sets which delay digit to change AND changes
the receiver operating mode.
OK / Delete Enters the current time and Operating Mode
setting / Deletes the current time setting and
resets the Operating Mode.
Add Sets 1 of 16 possible receiver Addresses for
expansion up to 16 receivers, giving 320 cues
available in ALL, STEP and CONT firing modes.
PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER WITH A NEW TRANSMITTER
WARNING
Never program the receiver when another transmitter is transmitting. This
may cause the receiver to be programmed with the wrong transmitter.
To clear the receiver of previously stored transmitters:
1. Put FUNCTION SELECTION switch to FIRE position.
2. Hold the PROGRAM button until the program light goes out.
To program the receiver with a new transmitter:
1. Put FUNCTION SELECTION switch to FIRE position.
2. Press and hold a button on the transmitter.
3. Press and release the PROGRAM button briefly. The program light
blinks twice to indicate the receiver has been programmed.
SETTING THE RECEIVER OPERATING MODE
The receiver must be set to the correct mode before using the system.
This ensures that accidentally pressing a button on the transmitter
will not have an unwanted effect.
Mode Display Shows … Description
Continuous 0.00 or the current Sequencer with a set delay
(Sequencer) delay between cues. between each cue.
All Fire ALL Fires all cues when the ALL
button on transmitter is
pressed.
Single Shot SIN Fires the correct cue when the
button 1- 20 is pressed on the
transmitter.
Step STE Fires the next cue when STEP
is pressed on the transmitter.
To set the receiver operating mode follow the steps below.
1. Hold down OK button until the display reads 0.00
2. Press RIGHT-ARROW to cycle through the digits and operating modes.
3. Press OK to set the correct receiver operating mode.
SETTING THE TIME DELAY FOR CONTINUOUS MODE
The time delay is used when firing in continuous mode. The delay can be
set from 0.01 to 9.99 seconds.
1. Hold OK button until the display reads 0:00.
2. Press RIGHT-ARROW to cycle through the digits.
3. Press UP-ARROW to increment the time delay.
4. Press OK to set the time.
EXPANDING THE SYSTEM
The system is expandable in the following ways:
1) UP TO 3 RECEIVERS GIVING 60 INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESSABLE CUES
Program receiver 1 with the transmitter slide switch in position „1‟,
program receiver 2 with the transmitter slide switch in position „2‟,
program receiver 3 with the transmitter slide switch in position „3‟.
1 2 3
Each cue is
accessible by
the operator.
60 Cue Configuration
You can use UP TO 16 RECEIVERS GIVING 320 CUES
Each receiver will need to be set up with an address in the following way.
1. Press ADD button.
2. Use RIGHT-ARROW and UP-ARROW to set 1 of 16 addresses.
3. Press ADD button again.
All the receivers will need to be programmed with the transmitter in the usual
way except the transmitter slide switch must be in position „4‟ at all times.
The cues can only be fired in the ALL, STEP and CONT firing modes.
INFORMATION
For CONT mode, all receivers need to have the same time delay.
Note: This is because for receivers above number 1, a receiver offsets the
time it starts sequencing from by the following formula:
Time to sequence begin = delay x 20 x (receiver number-1)
Example: Assume time delay is set to 1 second and 4 receivers are in the
system. When CONT is pressed, all receivers receive the signal
at the same time. Receiver 1 starts to sequence immediately.
Receiver 2 starts to sequence after 20 seconds. Receiver 3
starts to sequence after 40 seconds. Receiver 4 starts to
sequence after 60 seconds etc. There is no communication
between receivers, so if, for example receiver 3 is OFF, then
receivers 1, 2 and 4 will still operate, albeit with a 20
second gap between receivers 2 and 4.
CONT and STEP mode will only work ONCE. All receivers will need
to be switched OFF and ON again to use those modes again.
Example: 6 receivers are set up giving 120 cues. Press CONT and all cues
will fire in sequence with the programmed delay. However,
CONT will not be able to be used again until all receivers are
switched OFF and ON again.
Example: 10 receivers are set up giving 200 cues. Press STEP and each
cue will fire one after the other on each sequential button press.
Holding down STEP will cause multiple cues to fire rapidly.
However once all cues are fired STEP will not be able to be used
again until all receivers are switched OFF and ON again.
Example: 16 receivers are set up giving 320 cues. Press ALL and all cues
will fire on all receivers. ALL can be used again without
switching the receivers OFF and ON again.
