General description

The MARTIN

®

 MultiPort Air Cannon Controller, hereinafter referred to as

controller, serve to control a maximum of one MARTIN

®

 MultiPort Air

Cannon. The work cycle of the MARTIN

®

 MultiPort Air Cannon can either

be triggered by a programmable time control, an external impulse or manu-
ally.

2.2

Control and display elements

 1. The green signal lamp (1) indicates that the system is working in au-

tomatic mode.

 2. The operation mode selector switch (2) is used to adjust the desired

operation mode:

• „MAN“ - semiautomatic mode. In semiautomatic mode, a port is 

selected with the slave selector switch (3) and it is triggered 
according to the programming of the selected port.

• „0“ - MultiPort Controller is switched off. No air cannons are 

being triggered.

• „AUTO“ - automatic mode. The ports are triggered in accordance 

with a programmed time sequence.

 3. The port selector switch (3) serves to preselect the ports for semiauto-

matic operation.

 4. The main switch (4) puts the controller into operation or switches it

off and serves simultaneously as an emergency switch in the event of
a malfunction.
