ATTENTION: Please be sure you update the module with the firmware which is specified will work on your model version

A. STAND ALONE – firing module used as it is without FTM-99 remote, computer or other controller.

ATTENTION: Firing module must be preprogrammed with a script. To be able to use the firing module as STAND ALONE for safety reasons when power on you must press and hold button ‘>>’ (with green LED).

1. Automatic fire using buttons from the module or small remote: button ‘<<’ (Blue LED) or ‘A’ on the small remote and button ‘>>’ (Green LED) or button ‘B’ on buttons from small

- In INIT state Press button ‘>>’ (A from small remote) to go in IDLE state - Stand Alone mode – ‘A’ will appear after the ID of the interface: IDXX A

- In IDLE state you can check if the cues are correctly connected and if the batteries are charged

- With a few minutes before the show you must go into ARMED state by press and hold about 3 seconds button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote).

- Fast turn the key in ARMED position (only if you chose to be able to fire only with the key in ARM position) – A TTENTION: if the key will remain more than 1 second in OFF position it will reset the module

- In Armed state the module ready to fire and the script will start (go in PLAY state) when you hit again button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote)

- If you want to PAUSE press again button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote) and the module will enter into PAUSE state.

- If you want to resume in PAUSE state you must press button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote)

- If you want to STOP the show in you must press button ‘<<’ (‘B’ on small remote) while you are in PLAY or PAUSE state

2. Program step fire using buttons from the module or small remote: button ‘<<’ (Blue LED) or ‘A’ on the small remote and button ‘>>’ (Green LED) or button ‘B’ on buttons from small. Condition: the script saved on the module has programmed sequence 0. AT TENTION: It will be fired only channels from sequence 0. If in script there are channels belongs to other sequence than 0 here will not be fired.

- In INIT state Press button ‘>>’ (A from small remote) to go in IDLE state - Stand Alone mode – ‘A’ will appear after the ID of the interface: IDXX A

- In IDLE state you can check if the cues are correctly connected and if the batteries are charged

- With a few minutes before the show you must go into ARMED state by press and hold about 3 seconds button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote).

- In Armed state the module is ready to fire. To enter in ‘STEP Script’ state press button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote).

- From now on every time you press button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote) the next channel will be fired (in time order from the saved script – if to or more channel has the same time all of them will be fired). You can skip next channel by pressing button ‘<<’ (‘B’ on small remote).

3. Sequence step fire using buttons from the module or small remote: button ‘<<’ (Blue LED) or ‘A’ on the small remote and button ‘>>’ (Green LED) or button ‘B’ on buttons from small. Condition: the script saved on the module has programmed at least one sequence and does not have any cue on sequence 0.

- In INIT state Press button ‘>>’ (A from small remote) to go in IDLE state - Stand Alone mode – ‘A’ will appear after the ID of the interface: IDXX A

- In IDLE state you can check if the cues are correctly connected and if the batteries are charged

- With few minutes before the show you must go into ARMED state by press and hold about 3 seconds button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote).

- In Armed state the module is prepared to fire. To enter in ‘SEQ Script’ state press button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote).

- From now on every time when you press button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote) the NEXT sequence will start (without stopping or pausing the running sequences).

- For pause (go in PAUSE SEQ) the current sequence you must press button ‘<<’ (‘B’ on small remote). To resume (go back in STEP SEQ) press button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote).

- If you want to STOP the show you must press button ‘<<’ (‘B’ on small remote) while you are in PAUSE SEQ state.

Tip: The small remote can be learned by many firing modules. In this way you can use one small remote to sequence fire many modules.

4. Automatic fire using GPS time trigger Condition: firing module need to have a preprogrammed at start time.

- In INIT state Press button ‘>>’ (A from small remote) to go in IDLE state - Stand Alone mode – ‘A’ will appear after the ID of the interface: IDXX A

- In IDLE state you can check if the cues are correct connected and if the batteries are charged

- Also in IDLE state it will appear GPS time information: ‘UTC XX:XX:XX’ (Universal Time Clock) which means the current UTC time and appears when the module has GPS signal and it is not preprogrammed with a start time. ‘TTS XX:XX:XX’ (Time To Start) it is preprogrammed start time. Appears if the module does not have GPS signal but has set a start time. ‘TUS XX:XX:XX’ (Time Until Start) appear when the module it has preprogrammed a start time and also has the GPS signal. This is a countdown timer.

- With few minutes before the show you must go in ARMED state by press and hold about 3 seconds button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote). ATTENTION: The script will start at set time only if it is in ARMED state;

- In Armed state the module is ready to fire and when TUS will be 0 the module will automatically start the script saved on it by going in play state.

ATTENTION: For safety reasons we strongly recommend an operator to stay near the module which will be started in this way to have the possibility to stop the script if something wrong happening. Using the buttons on it or the small remote he will be able to pause/resume the fire by pressing button ‘>>’ (‘A’ on small remote) or stop the show by pressing button ‘<<’ (‘B’ on small remote)

Information: To set the GPS start time:

a. Check ‘Set GPS time’ box before send program to the interface from computer software
