FM-24
24 Channel Firing Module
Buttons and Ports
Power Button
This turns the Firing Module (FM) on. Press
and hold this button to power on the FM.
Hold the button until the internal lights come
on (about 3 seconds). If the FM does not
power on, plug in the charging cord into the
charging port (Please wait 1 minute for the
power to be ready once plugged in). To turn
the power off, simply press and release the
button.
Repeater Button
This button enables the repeater function on
the FM. When firing manually, it is
recommended that one FM be enabled as a
repeater. This provides the maximum signal
strength and more robust timing of the firing
signals. If too many modules are designated
repeaters, however, the LQ of the system can
actually go down. Only the minimum
number of repeaters necessary to bridge the
gaps between positions should be used.
Navigation Buttons
These buttons are used to navigate menus on the FM.
Continuity Test
This button enables the continuity test viewer on the FM. The continuity test is still controlled by
the CM, but this button allows the continuity results for this module to be viewed on the module
screen.
Firing Pins
This is where e-matches/squibs can be inserted to fire. They are easily replaceable for cleaning,
replacement or upgrade.
