Once in the FILES PAGE, select the proper show
file. If there are more than 4 show files on the
drive, the top will display PAGE 1/2, 1/3 etc.,
and the UP and DOWN arrows can be used to
scroll between the show file pages. The CM
will display the current download progress and
the progress of the upload. When the FM
displays FILE with a folder icon, that FM has
received the full show information. The CM
will give a final notification when download
to all connected modules is complete.
The HOME screen will now show the number of
modules detected on the left, and the number
of modules in the choreography on the right.
It is allowed that the number of modules
detected may be larger or smaller than the
number in the choreography. It will be larger
if you have added some modules to act as
repeaters or some were wired for additional manual firing. It may be smaller if you have
intentionally elected to remove one from the setup.

Continuity Test
– Select the CT button to go to the Continuity Test Page. Hit OK to turn
continuity test mode ON/OFF. Our proprietary
CrewSafe
™ continuity circuitry allows you to
go through your Firing modules to look for errors or to check for continuity while pinning. It
can also be checked at the Firing Module by pressing the CT button.
•
= means that there is a loaded shot that is currently in the choreography on that pin. The
shot is identified, continuity is good, and the shot is ready.
•
? means that there is a loaded shot that is currently NOT in the choreography on that pin.
It can still be fired manually.
•
X means that there is no shot loaded but this channel is currently in the choreography.
This should be corrected, but the show will still run if it is left disconnected. See the
“ACCEPT ERRORS” command below.
•
* means that there is more resistance than expected on the pin, there might not be
enough energy to reliably fire every shot on that line.
When you have completed the continuity testing, go to the main CT menu and hit OK to
disable continuity testing. Continuity testing will automatically be disabled when the system
is ARMED, however it is wasting battery power if left on when not needed.

Arming System
- To arm the system, first turn the arm key to the arm position, then press
the ARM/SAFE button. The Firing Modules will blink Red/Yellow for a few seconds as the
capacitor bank is being charged. Once charged, there is no recharge time requirement. All
channels may be fired simultaneously. When charging is complete the system will
automatically transition to the SHOW page.
