Additional Information

Milled from a solid block of aluminum and anodized in black, armored like a Leopard II tank, only 400 g heavier than the standard PFC, but with a completely waterproof housing (if the breather valve is replaced with a sealed screw). Now it no longer matters if you use it in a tactical situation, under Niagara Falls, or in the sunshine of the desert. You are only limited by your imagination.

The differences to the PFC Advanced Standard quickly become clear: Besides the already mentioned very robust and absolutely waterproof housing the Black Edition Controller comes with a removable handle that can be plugged in almost everywhere: On the sides, the front and back and even on the bottom side, which allows for tilting the unit if you want to use it on your desktop.

It has no key switches, instead you have a single button to switch it on, which prompts you for a code request after selecting the language. The code can be changed to a personal four-digit PIN code. In addition, a backup switch is integrated by default, along with an internal storage space for the antenna.

To arm the controller, simply slide in the magnetic pen on the side of it whilst in one of the firing modes. The connectors of the controller are all waterproof and heavy-duty.

The touch display can be operated even if it is wet.
