SureFire Digital Airburst Slave Module Addressing
Airburst 48 channel slave modules should occupy 3 consecutive Encoder numbers. This is selectable
by the encoders.
48-channel Airburst slaves and 16-channel slaves can be configured to run from the same controller
so long as there is no address conflict.
Important Note
Pyro Logic Controller SureFire Slave Module Safe Field Operation Procedure
Read and familiarize yourself with the operators manuals for these products. If there is something
you do not understand about the addressing and operation of the SureFire system, consult qualified
personnel.
DO NOT connect ANY pyro devices to the system prior to running the following steps. You run the
risk of injury or death to yourself and your co-workers.
1. Place all slave modules in position. The system is designed for modules to be placed in close
proximity to the pyrotechnic effects to avoid long runs of cable from the channel outputs to the
pyro effects or matches.
2. In the case of regular effects, keep the modules at least six feet from the effect. Dust and debris
from these effects may effect the operation of the slave modules over the long term.
3. In the case of ‘concussion’ effects, place the modules at least 15 feet from the concussion pots.
The shock from the concussions can damage the electronics of the module and/or shake the
communication or AC connections loose.
4. Run all communication and AC cables to the modules.
5. Set up the PyroLogic controller.
6. Plug all communication cables into the controller.
7. With the SAFE/ARM key in the SAFE position and the SLAVE POWER key in the OFF position, recall
the show you intend to run.
8. All slaves should be powered on and all 16 Red channel LEDs should be lit. The Green Power LED
should be lit. The Yellow scan LED should NOT be lit. (See Trouble Shooting).
9. From the controller, identify all on line modules by turning the encoder. On-line modules will
show all 16 green match LEDs lit when the module select knob is turned to the address of the
module.
10. Turn the SLAVE POWER key switch ‘ON’. Firing and match test current is now applied to all module
output channels. This test confirms communication between the controller and all slave mod-
ules.
11. Investigate each slave for faults. All 16 Red channel LEDs should be off. (If there are any Red
channel LEDs still lit, see trouble shooting). The Green Power LED and the Yellow scan LED should
be lit. (See Trouble Shooting).
