This is a list of the frequently asked question about the Pyro Systems 2000



Q: Is it possible to control the Pyro Slaves with a PC?

A: To be independent of all the PC operating systems and all the disadvantages combined with them we do not plan to develop a PC fireworks software. But we are thinking of programming the Pyro Masters with the help of a PC.



Q: What is the time resolution of the Pyro Systems 2000?

A: The smallest programmable time frame is 0.1s (100 ms). Internally the Pyro Master operates with a resolution of 10 ms. Therefore it is possible to use the same time for fife channels without a visible time jitter at the fireworks effects.



Q: What kind of power supply is needed?

A: Pyro Master and Pyro Slave are completely independent of any mains power supply. Each operate with its own internal 12V DC accu. All Pyro Masters (except PM 2001 light) are equipped with an accu charger unit for the Pyro Slaves. The Pyro Masters are available for 230V AC (50 Hz) and 110V AC (60 Hz).



Q: What is maximum cable length?

A: Since there is no "energy transport" over the Pyro Cables the overall cable length is only limited by the protocol and the used baud rate. Currently it is limited to 1000m (3300 ft).



Q: What kind of cable is needed?

A: The best performance (up to 3300 ft cable length) is reached using a 2 wired cable plus an additional wire for shielding. But any 3 pin XLR cable with no signal crossing could be used.



Q: Is the handheld version of the PyroMaster a less powerfull PyroMaster?

A: NO! The handheld version of the PyroMaster is 100% compatible to the "big" PyroMaster. It is available in two versions, with and without SMPTE. The number of channels and the functionality is like on the "big" PyroMaster.
The only difference is that the handheld version has no battery changer unit for the PyroSlaves.
