OPERATION & MAINTENANCE GUIDE - InstantFire-12B High-speed 12-shot Controller HOLATRON SYSTEMS, LLC 833 ILANIWAI ST, STE. 2 Honolulu, HI 96813 (808) 372-0956 www.holatron.com 2 of 11 WARNING Holatron Systems specializes in the design and manufacture of standard and custom electronic control systems where reliability and error free data communication are critical. The transmitter described in this manual is part of a system intended to remotely actuate pyrotechnic or other hazardous devices, and the components of this system have been carefully designed to minimize the possibility of accidental actuation of such devices. Holatron’s design goal is to ensure that data communication errors due to radio interference or to insufficient signal strength due to low battery, exceeding specified range, or conductive objects in the signal path will result in failure of intentional actuation rather than unintended actuation. Techniques used to achieve this design goal are described in section 2.0. Though the probability of unintended actuation is extremely small, it cannot be guaranteed to be zero. It is also possible that an unexpected actuation can occur if another Holatron transmitter set to the same digital channel and system code is being operated in the vicinity. Therefore, it is important that the user not enable (arm) the receiver until all persons who might be harmed by accidental actuation are in a safe area. Equipment that has been damaged or contaminated internally with water or other substances could be hazardous to operate, and it could generate an unintended actuation. The user must consult with Holatron Systems before continuing use of such equipment. As a condition of purchase, the user must acknowledge awareness and agreement that utilization of this product and participation in activities utilizing compressed gas, fireworks, rockets, explosives, etc. is an ultra-hazardous activity carrying implied and explicit risks of injuries and damages to the user and to other participants. The user assumes the risk connected with the utilization of this product and all risks of participation in the activities for which this product is sold. User acknowledges that he/she/it has the necessary and required skill, expertise, training and licensing, as may be applicable or necessary by custom, usage, trade or law, to engage and participate in the ultra-hazardous activities connected with the use, purchase, transportation, or employment of the products sold under this agreement. User acknowledges that Holatron Systems, LLC, has not and will not conduct any investigation into the skill, expertise, training and licensing, as may be applicable or necessary by custom, usage, trade or law, of the user or of user’s agents, employees and assigns, to engage and participate in the ultra-hazardous activities connected with the use, purchase, transportation, or employment of this product. User specifically agrees that Holatron Systems, LLC, its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any claim, demand, cause of action of any kind whatsoever for, or on account of death, personal injury, property damage or loss of any kind resulting from or related to user’s or user’s employees’, agents’ or assigns’ use of this product, and user agrees to indemnify, defend in any action at law, and hold harmless Holatron Systems, LLC, from same, whether brought by the user, user’s agent, or assigns, or any third party. 3 of 11 INFORMATION TO USER This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

FCC Part 15, Subpart C and Industry Canada RSS-210, Issue 8 PERIODICALLY OPERATED LOW POWER TRANSMITTERS EQUIPMENT: XMTR12B REPORT NO.:2014 04244501 FCC Page 7 of 14 Description of E.U.T. The model XMTR12B high-speed 12-shot controller is a low power hand-held remote control transmitter which can transmit commands over any of twelve different digital channels. Each transmitter’s channel setting is fixed in software at time of manufacture and cannot be changed. A label displaying the channel setting is affixed to the top of the transmitter next to the antenna. Transmitters fixed to separate digital channel numbers can transmit simultaneously without interfering with each other. This permits up to twelve different receivers or groups of receivers to be controlled by separate transmitters simultaneously. The transmitter will only actuate receivers whose digital channel switches are set to select the same channel as the transmitter. System Diagram Nemko USA, Inc.
