Quickfire Master Controller II

Description

The QuickFire software is compatible with Show Sim, FireOne Cue Maker and Finally Fireworks.

• During a display each Quickfire field module is in constant communication with the Quickfire master controller via a ‘heartbeat’
  signal. If this communication between the two fails the field
  modules would cease firing until the signal is re-established. Once the signal is re-established rather than just commencing
  at the next shot the modules commence firing when their next cue is due, skipping any cues that were due while the signal was lost
• Solid state electronics – no moving parts.
• Capable of firing up to 99 QuickFire 32-Channel wireless rails, giving a grand total of 3168 cues
• Detachable goose neck panel light (adjustable brightness level)
• Detachable antenna
• A series of LEDs indicate the wireless signal strength, and communications activity
• 128+ bit encryption locks the module to its slave units to prevent any disruption
• Repeating functionality
• Two way communications between Master Unit and Wireless Modules (bio directional)
• ZigBee Wireless reliable mesh network technology using 2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) RF transmission strategies
• Removable key to ensure security. The key switch has 2 positions TEST and ARMED mode
• Designed to operate in diverse temperatures with built-in temperature and humidity sensors to detect if over or under temperature conditions are approaching
• Membrane keypad
• Made with industrial components to ensure the system is robust
• The Master Unit is enclosed in a roughed Seahorse SE520 case to ensure it remains dust free and water resistant
• Quick-Sync – Allows manual adjustment of the pitch of the firing file, to keep in sync with the music as required
• Shot tracking this feature allows tracking of fired shots, and on which rails
• LED capture – the unit displays only the ‘ready’ shots which are discovered in the ‘test’ phase
• File continuity scan compares a show file to actual connected shots, and alerts any differences
• Using manual sequencing, any rail and cues can be sequentially fired at selected timing interval, up to a programmable sequence range
• LCD Display so the operator can monitor aspects of the
• Wireless & 2 wire communication for redundancy

 

System including:

• Inbuilt rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery 16.8V 5200mAh
• An external power supply input
• Shot tracking
• Battery status
• Show file name
• Display duration and elapsed time
• Countdown timer to the next cue
• Next cue and firing module number
• The Master Unit has a dead-man switch to ensure the System can be shut down quickly
• Trigger switch to manually fire one shot at a time
• Trigger switch to start a programed file
• Trigger switch for manual sequencing
• The controller firmware is upgradeable using a PC and USB cable – reduces downtime
• Replaceable memory
• Using the software, Show Files can be downloaded directly to the QuickFire Master Unit through a USB
• Stores up to 2 firing files
• Input DC jack for when external power is required
• Lockable rails, selectively prevent firing even in full automatic mode.
• Pause Play button enables pausing the firing and then continuing from that point
• Pause continue button enables pausing the firing and then continuing further down the line while keep the show still in sink
• Multiple processors monitor each other for proper operation.
• Proper operation of both processors is required to fire shots.
• Four output triggers which can be used in conjunction with the wireless network to provide a backup firing command signal.
• Software included
• Wireless & 2 wire communication for redundancy
• Selectable sequencing
• Temperature sensor
• Humidity sensor
• Quick-Sync
• Field module monitoring
• Constant communication (bio directional)
• Signal strength indication
• TX & RX indication
• Ability to monitor receivers (eg:Battery status, Humidity, Temperature)
• Ability to change firing output voltage on the 32ch receivers from (12, 24 & 48volts)
• Firing resolution 00:00:00:000
• Dimensions (L W H) 38 x 31 x 18 cm (14.85” x 12.15” x 6.85”).
