pyromaster TWIDDLE II Quick start guide

STOPPING TWIDDLES by mode while firing:
Manual Mode: N/A
Full Auto Mode: After initial pulse to start the full Auto mode a second pulse will
stop the Twiddle at the last cue it fired another pulse will finish the firing sequence from
where it was stopped. This start and stop functionality is available the entire length of of
the firing sequence.
Semi Auto Mode: Since the Semi Auto Mode requires a continual pulse to fire
sequentially any release of the continuous pulse will stop the Twiddle in the sequence.
Activation of the continuous pulse will continue the firing sequence from where it was
stopped.
Table Mode: After initial pulse to start the Table Mode a second pulse will Disarm
the Twiddle at the last cue it fired but the internal clock will continue to run. Another
pulse will rearm the Twiddle and will shoot only the items remaining from where the
running clock is at the time. Note the firing cues that the clock passed while disarmed
and will not shoot. f at any time while the Twiddle is firing a single continuous pulse
over 3 seconds will rest the clock to 00:00:00. This feature will allow the operator to rest
the show incase of a false start.
Options Mode: This mode allows the Twiddle input pulse and output firing pulse to be
adjusted based on the needs of the operator.
Output Pulse can be set at 20 ms or 90 ms depending on the type of E-matches used.
nput Pulse of 10 ms for signal pulse from digital devices
nput Pulse of 40 ms for signal pulse from analog devices
Note: Note the operator should always test for the best results depending on the sys-
tem used to trigger the Twiddle.
Re ommended minimal spacing of firing cues from Digital Firing Systems
Pyro Digital 60 ms 2-frames
Fire One 40 ms
