Introduction

Introduction

Foreword

Congratulations for purchasing the Pyrologic 2000 wireless fireworks shooting
system. We trust you will enjoy the unique features of this unparalleled system. The
following instructions will familiarize you with the features and operation of this
friendly system.

Thank you for choosing Pyrologic.

System Components Definition

• Terminal Unit (TU)

• Terminal Unit Master Key (MK)

• Base Unit (BU)

• Extension Unit (XU)

• External PTT (XPTT)

• Remote Controlled Unit (RCU)

• Remote Controlled Unit for controlling 16 extensions (RCU-16).

General information

Pyrologic 2000 is a wireless fireworks shooting system. Using a central remote
control Terminal Unit (TU), a multitude of Remote Controlled Units (RCUs) are
controlled by a coded Radio Frequency link in order to fire upon command a
firework electrically connected to each RCU of choice.

The TU, either hand-held or installed into a Base Unit (BU), must be operated at a
minimum height of 1.0 meter from ground. The RCU must be installed at a minimum
height of 0.6 meter from ground. Under such conditions the effective range between
the TU and any RCU is 65 meters.

By connecting an Extension Unit (XU) to the BU using a twisted pair 2 wire
telephone cable with RJ11-2/6 connectors, the RCUs are controlled by the TU via
the XU. The XU must be operated at a minimum height of 1.0 meter from ground.
The RCU must be installed at a minimum height of 0.6 meter from ground. Under
such conditions the effective range between the XU and any RCU is 65 meters.

1

Introduction

Basic System Characteristics

The normal operating range of the Pyrologic-2000 system is 65 meters from TU to
RCU. This range can be extended by connecting an XU to a BU to which a TU is
mounted. When mounting TU to BU, an XPTT can be attached to the BU. The range
extension is in accordance to the length of the extension cable of the XU connecting
between the BU to the XU. The RCUs are assigned to the TU by individual
programming communicated through the one-way RF link between TU and RCU.
Subsequently the operation of the RCUs is controlled by the TU through a one-way
RF link between TU and RCU, or alternatively by a wired link between the BU onto
which the TU is mounted and the XU, continued by a one-way RF link between XU
and RCU.

The system operates at the 418 MHz frequency and has been designed to comply
with the applicable FCC regulations (pending approval).

Safety and Operational Instructions

Safety and Operational Instructions

The operation of fireworks or pyrotechnics when using the Pyrologic 2000 system is
identical to operation using appropriate wiring instead of the RF command link. All
applicable laws and regulations regarding fireworks operation must be strictly
adhered.

When you purchase the system the RCUs are in generic state. The RCUs have to be
assigned to a specific TU Master Key according to the instructions detailed in this
manual.

When using the system for the first time and until you have learned to operate the
system correctly, please attach LEDs instead of squibs to the RCU squib connections
and otherwise operate the system according to the standard operation instructions, in
order to verify that you have mastered each and every detail of system operation.

Under no circumstances open or tamper the system components. Warranty will void
if any unauthorized attempt will be done to open or tamper system units.

Coping with External Transmission Disturbances: Pyrologic 2000 is a wireless
system that is designed according to the FCC regulations. Please check the system to
verify that there is no external interference. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES THE
SYSTEM WILL FIRE WITHOUT OPERATOR COMMAND.

The TU operates with four 1.5 Volt AA Alkaline batteries.

WARNING: Do not operate TU with rechargeable batteries.

The TU can operate as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with the BU, XPTT and
optionally also XU and external power supply.

Terminal Unit Master Key

The Master Key is were all the information of the programmed events is stored. You
can transfer the Master Key between different TUs.

Base Unit

The base unit accommodates the terminal unit. The communication between the TU
and the Base Unit is through mating connectors on the back of the TU and on the top
of the BU. An external PTT is connectable to the side of the BU. External power can
be connected to the BU by a regulated AC-DC adaptor connected to 120VAC 60 Hz
input, providing to the BU its 7.5 VDC 500mA output.

5

Getting started

Connecting an Extension Unit (XU) to the BU is done by using a twisted pair 2 wire
telephone cable with RJ11-2/6 connectors, connected to the telephone sockets in both
units.
Connecting an XPTT and an XU does not affect the function and operation
procedures as described below. In terms of functionality, the XPTT replaces the TU
PTT and the XU is an extension of the TU (transmission made through XU antenna
instead of TU antenna).

System Overview

System Overview

Working with the system consists of three steps:

• Programming an event

• Setting the RCU devices

• Performing an event

The first two steps are independent of each other. You can program an event and
than set the RCU devices, or vice versa. Of course, you have to complete the first
two steps before you can do the third.

Event Programming

You can program in the system up-to 8 events. Each event you can program in three
different modes: manual, semi-automatic or automatic. This means that you can
actually program 24 events – 8 events x 3 modes.

For each event number and mode you can assign up-to 8 groups of 16 Activation
keys, which makes total of 128 Activation keys. Each Activation key can activate
one RCU device or more. In the Terminal Unit (TU) screens, an Activation key is
referred as RCU.

In manual mode, you activate the desired RCU device by selecting the appropriate
group number and pressing the appropriate Activation key.

In semi-automatic mode, each RCU device is activated in the programmed sequence
every time you press the Send key. In this mode, you can also activate an RCU
device manually by selecting the appropriate group number and pressing the
appropriate Activation key.

In automatic mode, each RCU device is activated in the programmed sequence and
timing. In this mode you cannot activate the RCUs manually.

To clear an event, you can use the CLEAR EVENT option on the EVENTS
CONTROL screen.

Note: In order to program or clear an event, you have to log

into the system with High level password. The factory default setting
for High level password is 11111111.

All the events data is stored in the Master Key. After programming all the desired
events, you can transfer the Mater Key to another TU and perform the event from
this TU.

For detailed instructions on programming events, see "Programming an Event" on
page 22.

11

System Overview

RCU Setting

Each RCU device has a unique ID which consists of an RCU (Activation key)
number and a GROUP number. The RCU device will be activated by that, and only
by that, combination of RCU number and group numbers, which were programmed
in a specific Master Key.

Note: An RCU device will not

group numbers that were programmed in another Master Key.

You can, though, set more than one RCU device to the same RCU and group
number. In that case, those RCU devices will be activated simultaneously.

For detailed instructions on setting RCU devices, see "Setting the RCU devices" on
page 26.

be activated by the same RCU and

Event Performing

After programming an event (or events) and setting and testing the RCUs, you can
position the RCUs and connect the fireworks or pyrotechnics.

If there is time left until the event, you can set the TU to go off and turn back on at a
desired time, using the SET ALARM TIME option under SET UNITS. You can
also put the RCUs in Sleep mode and wake them up when the time comes. This way
you can extend batteries life.

To start an event, you have to select first the desired event number and mode that you
programmed.

The event is controlled using the Command and Activation keys on the TU panel. A
ready Activation key is indicated by green LED. Any RCU device that was activated,
will be shut down automatically. On the TU, the Activation key LED of any
activated device will turn from green to red.

Note: You must press the PTT in order to transmit from the TU to the

RCUs, whether to activate or test them.

WARNING

When the system is in armed state, pressing the PTT and the Send key or an
active Activation key (depending on the event mode) will cause the system to
fire.

For detailed instructions on performing an event, see "Performing an Event" on page

27.
