Note that the number icons have circles around
them. This represents a button on the 10-key
Number Pad (Numpad). Pressing a number on
the Numpad will bring up a small entry box. Fill
in the number desired and press Enter. The
CLEAR button will erase all numbers in the box.
Also notice that a line of dots appears at the
bottom of the screen. This indicates that
another screen is available by pressing the
DOWN (NO) arrow button. Figure 5 shows the
Continuity Test (CT) screen. Note that when FMs are connected all four sides of the screen have
dotted lines, indicating that other functional screens are available in all 4 scroll button
directions.
Basic Setup
1.
Turn ON FMs, Name Them, and Place in Field.
In most system setup scenarios, the Firing
Modules (FM) will first be turned on and the Name or Module ID set for the position where it
will be wired. Press and hold the Power Button until the lights come on. It is recommended
that the Radio Channel be checked and tested (if used in the show) and the module Joined to
the Command Module (CM) before sending it to the field (see further instructions below). It
is, however, perfectly acceptable to do all of this at show setup. If
CrewSafe™
local
continuity testing will be used, the show file should be loaded into the CM and given time to
download to all the FMs before continuity testing is performed. Continuity testing must still
be turned on and off by the Command Module, but it can be shown on the screen of the FM
by pressing the CT button.
2.
Turn on the CM System
– On the CM, press
the power button and hold until the lights
show, then let go of the power button. Lights
will turn on, a logo splash screen will appear,
and the Home screen will appear.
3.
Loading File
– The top left of the screen will
display the name of the current show file
loaded next to a folder icon. If the top displays MANUAL with no folder icon, then no show file
has been loaded. Only Manual firing will be allowed. To load a show file, insert a USB drive
with the show file (.CSV format) in the root directory. Then go to MENU->FILE:(press #key 4
and Enter).
