And when combined with our Falcon igniters, you can put on a dramatic fireworks display just like the pros - at a fraction of the cost. Plus you get to watch your displays along with your guests! Now there is no longer any reason to hand light your displays. Do it like the pros at a fraction of the cost! This convenient system is extremely reliable and has many benefits of more expensive professional systems: FCC Certified (FCC ID: YMU-12LN and YMU-6XT) The range from the remote to the field module is about 200 meters (+/-) depending on surroundings. For best results we recommend elevating the MS32Q firing module about 18 inches off the ground with the antenna extended straight up. The transmitter antenna should be extended fully, pointed straight up, and elevated off the ground about 4 feet. This system is highly sensitivity with excellent anti-jam performance. It is extremely reliable and easy to use. The RF transmission between the remote transmitters and receiver is very secure. There are more than 1,000,000 address codes available for the transmitters, and once a receiver is activated by a remote transmitter, that receiver will respond only to the transmitter it has been mated to. Transmitters come with an on/off switch for added safety and security. You cannot inadvertently fire a cue with the remote power switch in the off position. Turn the remote power on only when ready to fire. Transmitters now come with backlit buttons, making them easier to read in the dark. Transmitters go into "Sleep / Lock" mode after 3 minutes of inactivity, to conserve batteries and provide an increased level of safety. The field module receiver has a 3-position switch for TEST, ARM, and LEARN. Circuit Overload Protection: The MS32Q contains circuit overload protection, so that even if you have a short circuit in your igniter wiring, the cue will not overload or burn out. Dual Firing Modes: Each MS32Q+ system include two (2) remote transmitters. One remote with buttons labeled 1 through 8 and A, B, C, and D, fires cues on demand, and in any order. The second remote, using the Stepper button, is used for automated stepped firing. Each press of the Stepper button on the second transmitter will fire the cues in order, beginning at cue A1 and ending at cue D8. Dual Power Capable: The field module receiver operates on eight (8) AA batteries when using the included battery case connected to the power jack. An external SLA battery can also be connected to the external battery jack (recommended: “Sealed Lead Acid” (SLA) rechargeable 12 VDC, 10 aH). Multiple MS32Q+ field modules (receivers) can be mated to a single MS32Q+ transmitter, allowing a single remote transmitter to control multiple field modules (receivers) simultaneously. This ability allows for totally flexible setup arrays. 2 Transmitter 1: Model: TCF200-12LN (FCC Certified) FCC ID: YMU-12LN Power: 23A 12V battery (not included) Frequency: RF Radio 433.92 MHz FSK Buttons: 12 buttons total. Buttons marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, A, B, C, D. This transmitter is used for instant on-demand firing. The cues assigned to each button will fire immediately when the button is pressed.

Red clip is for anode, black clip is for cathode. 4 Before Use: Install batteries: Before using your new firing system you will need to install one 23A 12V battery in each remote transmitter and 8 AA batteries in the battery case. You will need a total of (2) 23A 12V batteries and (8) AA batteries. AA Batteries: Slide off the battery cover (#14) on the battery case (#13). Install 8 AA batteries into the battery case (#13) and replace battery cover. Plug the battery case wire into the external battery jack on the receiver (field module). Make sure the ON/OFF switch on the battery case is in the ON position. External SLA Battery (optional): Plug alligator clip wire into the external battery jack (#10) and use the red alligator clip to connect to the positive (anode) terminal on the battery and use the black alligator clip to attach to the negative (cathode) terminal of the battery. Confirm normal operation of the field module (receiver): Step #1: Turn the safety key switch (#6) to the ON position. Make sure the three-position rocker switch (#7) is in the LEARN position. The digital readout (#11) should display the indicated voltage of the active power source. Step #2: Shift the three-position rocker switch (#7) to the TEST position. All 32 cue test LEDs (#4) and all 32 cue fire LEDs (#5) should turn on. Additionally, the digital readout (#11) will display the last three digits of the of the ID of the receiver. Step #3: Shift the three-position switch (#7) to the ARM position. All 32 cue test LEDs (#4) and all 32 cue fire LEDs (#5) should turn off. Additionally, the digital readout (#11) will display the indicated voltage of the active power source. Step #4: Shift the three-position switch (#7) to the LEARN position and turn off the main key switch (#6). If the above tests are successful, you may attach lead wires of the igniters to the cue terminals. IMPORTANT: If, after turning the main power key switch to the on position and placing the rocker switch into the center (Learn) position, the DIGITAL DISPLAY is blank and any of the FIRE LED lights or the TEST LED lights remain on, do not use the firing module, because the power voltage is too low to have the module work normally. Turn off the main power switch and refill the battery case with fresh batteries. If the battery voltage is too low, the firing module may malfunction and igniters may fire prematurely or not at all. Premature ignition of fireworks may result in death or bodily harm. IMPORTANT: With the key power switch turned on and the rocker switch set to the Test position, all of the cue FIRE LEDs and TEST LEDs should be turned on. Any unlit cue is defective. IMPORTANT: With the key power switch turned on and the rocker switch set to the Arm position, all of the cue FIRE LEDs and TEST LEDs should be turned off. If any cue FIRE LED stays lit, then that cue is defective. IMPORTANT: Do not attach any e-match or igniter to a defective cue under any circumstances, as premature ignition may occur. Premature ignition of fireworks may result in death or bodily harm. 5 Before Use (continued): LEARN procedure: You will need to go through the LEARN procedure before the field module (receiver) will take commands from your remotes. Clear any previously stored remote transmitter codes : On the field module (receiver), turn the safety key switch (#6) to the ON position. Then make sure the three-position switch (#7) is in the LEARN position. Finally, press and hold the LEARN button (#9) for a minimum of six (6) seconds, until the ARM / LEARN LED (#8) turns on and then blinks three (3) times. Once the ARM / LEARN LED blinks three (3) times then all previously stored remote transmitter codes have been successfully cleared. LEARN Procedure for Transmitter 1: On the field module (receiver), turn the safety key switch (#6) to the ON position. Then shift the three-position switch (#7) to the LEARN position. Press the LEARN button (#9) for approximately three (3) seconds, until the ARM / LEARN LED (#8) turns on. Then release the button. Within three (3) seconds press and hold any button on Transmitter 1 (make sure the remote power switch is turned on). The ARM / LEARN LED (#8) will blink one time confirming successful learning. The receiver LEARN process is now completed for the remote Transmitter 1. LEARN Procedure for Transmitter 2 : Only after Transmitter 1 has been LEARNED by the field module (receiver) can Transmitter 2 be Learned. On the field module (receiver), turn the safety key switch (#6) to the ON position. Then shift the three-position switch (#7) to the LEARN position. Press the LEARN button (#9) for approximately three (3) seconds, until the LEARN LED (#8) turns on. Then release the button. Within three (3) seconds press and hold the Stepper button on Transmitter 2 (make sure the remote power switch is turned on and the remote is in Unlocked mode. Press the Lock/Unlock button on the remote to change between locked and unlocked modes. The remote light will turn on and stay on when in unlocked mode). The LEARN LED (#8) will blink one time confirming successful learning. The receiver LEARN process is now completed for Remote Transmitter 2. 6 Before Use (continued): Confirm that the LEARNING procedure was successful : On the field module (receiver), turn the safety key switch (#6) to the ON position. Then shift the three-position rocker switch (#7) to the ARM position. On Transmitter 1, press and hold for one second any button labeled A, B, C, or D. Then press and hold for one second any button labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 (make sure the remote power switch is turned on). On the field module (receiver) the corresponding Cue Fire LED (#5) should flash on and off. On Transmitter 2, press and hold for one second the Stepper button (make sure the remote power switch is turned on and the remote is in Unlocked mode. Press the Lock/ Unlock button on the remote to change between locked and unlocked modes. The remote light will turn on and stay on when in unlocked mode). On the field module (receiver), the cue Fire LED (#5) for cue A1 should flash on and off. Successive presses of the Stepper button will cycle through the remaining cues in order from cue A1 through D8. NOTE: The field module (receiver) can store the code of one Transmitter 1 and one Transmitter 2 at a time. If you have another transmitter code already stored in the receiver then those codes will have to be cleared prior to learning any new transmitter codes. NOTE: While using Transmitter 2, the field module will not accept commands from Transmitter 1 unless the three-position rocker switch on the receiver is returned to the LEARN position, and then placed back into the ARM position. WARNING: Only when no fireworks are connected to the firing system may the LEARN or CLEAR procedure be performed. Never perform these procedures when fireworks are connected. Accidental ignition may occur. 7 How to Use: TEST Igniter Circuit: With an e-match or igniter connected to a cue on the field module (receiver), turn the key switch to the ON position and shift the three-position rocker switch to the TEST position. If the Cue TEST LED for the cue is ON and the Cue FIRE LED is OFF, then your circuit has good continuity, otherwise your circuit is broken and the igniter will not fire. Check your igniter connection. Replace defective igniter if necessary. Firing Procedure: After your igniters have been tested and have good continuity, use the following procedure for firing the cues: FIRE Procedure for Transmitter 1 : Instant on-demand cue firing There are four (4) banks of cues on the field module (receiver) labeled A, B, C and D. Each bank contains eight (8) cues labeled 1 through 8. On remote Transmitter 1 there are four (4) buttons labeled A, B, C and D as well as eight (8) buttons labeled 1 through 8. On the field module (receiver), make sure the key switch is in the ON position and the three-position rocker switch is in the ARM position. Make sure to extend the retractable antenna on both the receiver (field module) and the remote transmitter. To fire cues in bank A: On remote Transmitter 1, press and hold for one second the button labeled A, then press and hold for one second any button labeled 1 through 8 to fire the respective cue number in bank A (make sure the remote power switch is on). Continue pressing cue buttons in this fashion to fire more cues in bank A if desired. To jump to another bank simply press and hold for one second the letter button on remote transmitter for the bank you wish to fire (A, B, C or D). Then press the cue number (s) you wish to fire in that bank. The Cue FIRE LEDs on the field module (receiver) will light up as you press the number buttons on the remote transmitter, indicating the fire signal is being received and the cue is being fired. NOTE: Until a letter button is pressed on remote Transmitter 1, none of the number buttons will transmit a signal to the receiver. You must make a letter (bank) selection first. NOTE: When the firing system is in the ARM status, and once a specific cue has been sent the firing command, it cannot be activated again for five (5) seconds. 8 How to Use: FIRE Procedure for Transmitter 2 : Stepped sequence firing Transmitter 2 is used for stepped sequence firing, meaning you will fire cues A1 through D8, one cue at a time, in order, progressing through banks A, B, C, and D. Using Transmitter 2 for this purpose is much easier than pressing all of the respective buttons on Transmitter 1 to accomplish this same task. On the field module (receiver), make sure the key switch is in the ON position and the three-position rocker switch is in the ARM position. Make sure to extend the retractable antenna on both the receiver (field module) and the remote transmitter. Make sure Transmitter 2 is Unlocked mode. Pressing the Lock/Unlock button will toggle the remote between Locked and Unlocked mode. The remote is Unlocked when the light on the top of the remote is on. When the remote is in Locked mode, none of the other buttons on the remote will work, and the light will be off. On remote Transmitter 2, press and hold for one second the button labeled Stepper to fire cue A1 (make sure the remote power switch is on). Continue pressing the Stepper button to fire the remaining cues A2 through D8, one by one, in order. The Cue FIRE LEDs on the field module (receiver) will light up as you press the Stepper button on the remote transmitter, indicating the fire signal is being received and the cue is being fired. You can lock or unlock the remote at any time by pressing the Lock/Unlock button. The remote is locked when the light on the top of the remote is off, and unlocked when the light is on Pressing the Stop button will end your current stepped sequence, and reset the sequence back to cue A1. The buttons labeled Start, Pause, and Continue on Transmitter 2 are not used for this firing mode, and are reserved for future use. Low Power Alarm: When the power to the system has dropped to 6.5V or below, the digital readout (#11) will blink continuously, no matter which position the three-position switch is in. If this occurs the batteries should be replaced or the external battery should be recharged. The system may not work correctly or fire igniters reliably when the voltage being supplied to the system drops below 6.5V. Digital Readout (#11): When the three-position switch (#7) is in the LEARN or ARM position, the digital readout (#11) will display the indicated voltage of the active power source. When the three-position switch (#7) is in the TEST position, the digital readout (#11) will display the last three digits of the ID of the receiver. 9 How to Use (continued): Wired Control Mode (future use): When the field module receiver is connected to a MASTER unit through the RS485 ports on the side of the receiver, and the MASTER unit is turned on, the receiver will select Wired Control mode automatically, and the wireless control mode will be disabled. Additionally, the Wired Control Mode LED (#12) will be on. Receiver ID: Each MS32Q receiver is assigned a unique ID for use in wired control mode. To look up the unique ID assigned to the receiver, follow the procedure outlined below: On the field module (receiver), turn the safety key switch (#6) to the ON position. Then shift the three-position switch (#7) to the TEST position. The last three digits of the receiver ID will be displayed on the digital readout (#11). Next, press and hold the LEARN button (#9) for approximately three (3) seconds, then release the button. The next three digits of the receiver ID will be displayed on the digital readout (#11). Next, press and release the LEARN button again, and the next three digits of the receiver ID will be displayed on the digital readout. Next, press and release the LEARN button again, and the next three digits of the receiver ID will be displayed on the digital readout. Next, press and release the LEARN button again, and the final digits of the receiver ID will be displayed on the digital readout. Example: If the receiver ID is: 00 030 06c 05c 769 Digital readout goes back when no press within 3 seconds 00 06c 030 Press LEARN button rapidly Press LEARN button rapidly 05c Press LEARN button rapidly 10 769 Press and hold the LEARN button for 3 seconds Shift three-position switch to the TEST position SAFETY IS OUR MAIN PRIORITY: REMEMBER, SAFETY IS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN WHEN WORKING WITH FIREWORKS. REMOTE FIRING SYSTEMS CAN ADD AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF SAFETY TO IGNITING FIREWORKS, BUT THE RISKS OF ACCIDENTAL IGNITION STILL REMAIN EVEN WITH THE REMOTE FIRING SYSTEM’S USE. PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL FIELD MODULE AND REMOTE TRANSMITTER POWER SWITCHES ARE IN THE OFF POSITION RIGHT UP UNTIL THE TIME YOUR DISPLAY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. THIS NOT ONLY SAVES ON BATTERIES, BUT HELPS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL IGNITION FROM AN INADVERTENT BUTTON PRESS.
