1.1 DESCRIPTION
The CONFETTIGUNNER is a confetti shooting system which has been specially developed to easily shoot
electric cannons from a podium or truss. The CONFETTIGUNNER is splash proof and therefore suitable
for outdoor locations. The CONFETTIGUNNER can be used with electric confetti cannons as well as with
electric streamer cannons.
As the CONFETTIGUNNER can be used in various ways, it is important to read this user manual carefully
from beginning to end before you start operating the machine. Any use other than that described above
excludes your supplier from any liability.

Place the CONFETTIGUNNER on an even, solid
and stable surface and secure it with the notch-
es made for this.
NOTE
Attach the CONFETTIGUNNER to a Base Plate for
an extra stable surface. It is possible to attach 1,
2 or 4 CONFETTIGUNNER to the Base.
If you want to use the CONFETTIGUNNER
while mounted in a truss system, then attach
2 certied truss clamps to the underside
of the CONFETTIGUNNER. Next, place the
CONFETTIGUNNER on the required place in the
truss system and rmly turn the clamp.
The mounting place must be of sucient stabil-
ity and be able to support a weight of 10 times
of the unit’s weight. When carrying out any in-
stallation, always comply scrupulously with all
the regulations (particularly regarding safety)
currently in force in the country in which the x-
ture’s being used.
IMPORTANT
Always additionally secure the projector with
the safety rope from falling down. For this pur-
pose, fasten the safety rope at a suitable posi-
tion so that the maximum fall of the projector
will be 20 cm.
- 2 - INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
2.1 MOUNTING AND OPERATION
CAUTION - The machine can be damaged if you do not follow the procedures carefully.
DANGER WARNING - The CONFETTIGUNNER may only be installed by adults and authorised persons.
Prepare the CONFETTIGUNNER for use as follows:

coNfEttigUNNER
8
Connect a power cable to provide the CONFETTIGUNNER with 230V~ 50/60Hz. You can connect several
CONFETTIGUNNER to each other by using a power loop cable.
NOTE
Only use grounded electricity sockets!
Ensure that the power cable is not connected to the power supply when it is put in the CONFETTIGUNNER.
Test the working of the CONFETTIGUNNER by connecting the power cable to the power supply. As soon
as the blue LED-light above the CONFETTIGUNNER lights up you know that the CONFETTIGUNNER is
properly connected. After testing, make sure that the power cable is no longer directly connected to
the power supply.
During testing, make sure that no electric cannons are connected to the CONFETTIGUNNER.
Place the electric cannon in the cannon holder.
NOTE
The electric cannon can detach itself through
the pressure that is released during the shooting.
Therefore always use a Cannon Clamp to secure
it to the CONFETTIGUNNER. This is especially
important when using it in a truss.
Secure the electric cannon with a screw nut
which is situated on the side of the holder.
NOTE
Never turn the screw nuts tighter than necessary.
This can damage the pressure pattern in the
electric cannon.

coNfEttigUNNER
Once the electric cannon has been placed
in the CONFETTIGUNNER it can be adjusted
to the correct shooting direction. Unscrew
the adjustment button on the side of the
CONFETTIGUNNER for setting the holder in the
correct direction.
ATTENTION
Never shoot in the direction of people, animals
or objects. Also consult this manual for the
shooting distance of the various cannons.
Plug in the electric cannon connector in the
right way into the connector on top of the
CONFETTIGUNNER.
This connector has a slot which insures that the
connector can be inserted in only one way.
NOTE
Before plugging in the connector check if the
blue LED is lighting up. If so the cannon will be
shot when u plug the cannon in!
The CONFETTIGUNNER can be operated by means of 230V on/o or DMX. To this end use a DMX
Switchpack.
NOTE
• Make sure that you only shoot when there are no people, animals or objects in the shooting range
of the cannon.
• Make sure that you always have the CONFETTIGUNNER within your sight.
