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.

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.

programmed events is stored, is inserted. The Master Key is transferable between
TUs.

g Terminal Unit Panel - includes the Command keys (h), the Activation keys (i)
and the Programming keys (j).
h Command Keys with Command Key LEDs - these keys are used to perform the
firing.
i Activation Keys with Control LEDs - these keys indicate the RCUs status, i.e.,
if the RCU is programmed in a specified group and event, if it is ready to fire, or
if firing was performed. In manual mode, these keys are also used to fire an
individual RCU. These keys are not used for programming!
j Programming Keys - these keys are used to navigate and input values in the
system. They include: Numeric Keys, and Scrolling, Esc, Enter and Pwr keys).
Back
:
z Base Unit Connector - used for communication between the TU and the Base
Unit.
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).
External PTT
The external PTT (XPTT) is a joy-stick connecting to the BU.
