COBRA Operation – with 18R2 remote
The WSQP can be operated wirelessly with a COBRA 18R2 remote.
The WSQP has been designed to integrate seamlessly into the COBRA ecosystem; setup is very similar to a
COBRA firing module.
5.4.1
Arming procedure
Follow the following steps to start firing wirelessly:
1.
Sync the WSQP to the COBRA remote (18R2) using the following procedure:
o
Hold down SYNC on the 18R2 remote until P displays.
o
Hold SYNC on the WSQP until P displays.
o
Press SYNC on the 18R2 and WSQP at the same time.
o
The COBRA transceiver in the WSQP will re-start.
o
Repeat for additional COBRA modules or WSQP units.
See
www.cobrafiringsystems.com/sync
o
Re-start 18R2 remote when complete.
Once synced WSQP to a COBRA 18R2, the machine will remain synced to this controller until it is
un-synced or synced to a different 18R2. Rebooting WSQP and/or resetting system settings have
no effect on the sync.
2.
Test range/signal strength (measure the link quality to the COBRA remote)
o
Press and release the SYNC button to display the signal strength value between 0 and -100
o
COBRA measures link quality between 0 and -100 where 0 is perfect signal strength and
-100 is poor signal strength. If this value is between 0 and -75 then you will have no
problem firing cues with a single button press.
o
Note: Make sure to obtain a few readings and use the average number for your reading.
Higher placement of the WSQP with the best direct line of site produces the best results.
3.
Set channel on WSQP
o
Set the desired operating channel on the WSQP. Different WSQP’s can have the same
channel if there is no need to control them separately.
4.
ARM machine
o
Rotate the key switch clockwise to the ARM position and move to a safe distance.
5.
Set all modules to ARM mode
o
Press remote ARM button on remote to place all systems into ARM mode.
o
The red fire LED on WSQP becomes solid. On 18R2 red ARM (“!”) blinks and then turns
solid. The 18R2 displays the number of awake/armed modules and WSQP machines.
o
Note: If the red LED does not stop blinking, a module/WSQP has the key left in the TEST
position. The 18R2 will note which module address is unarmed.
o
Note: To change systems back to TEST mode, press and release the TEST button. This will
also disarm the systems and display the number of modules awake/in test.
Do not attempt to manually fire or start script execution while the red ARM LED (“!”) on 18R2 is
still blinking. It indicates the arming procedure is still ongoing. Manufacturer does not guarantee
machine responsiveness during this time.
6.
Ready to fire!
NOTE: To un-sync the WSQP from any remote to which it is synced, hold down the SYNC Button for 15
seconds. The SYNC LED will blink 5 times when un-synced and the SYNC LED will no longer display orange.
This will also reset the module addresses such that the next module you sync to the remote will inherit a
module address of A00.
