G-Flame – Flame Projector
Highlights
- Very versatile usage due to various control inputs: DMX, 12-24V, ext. contact, radio and RS485
- No mains voltage required, thanks to the integrated battery solution with up to 60 h stand-by time
- Extremely weatherproof, can be used even in heavy rain without any problems
- Operation with inexpensive aerosol cans, gas cans or gas cylinders possible
- Fuel cans are completely encased in the housing and therefore well protected
- Cartridge holder comes with non-return valves
- All components are equipped with quick couplers for extremely assembly
- Fully autarkic operation if the optional Advanced radio module or wireless DMX receivers are used
- Integrated fine filter prevents leakage of solenoid valves
- Equipped with two solenoid valves connected in series for double safety
- Electronic flame monitoring by means of ionization measurement
- Equipped with tilt sensor
- Bi-directional communication with the controller PFC Advanced and USB Radio Modem PFM Advanced for remote programming and remote data requests
- Prepared for quick mounting on stands and truss elements
- Illuminated text display with convenient menu navigation
- Optical warning when armed
- Atomic effect programmable
- Fast step sequences possible because the flame extinguishes within a short time after closing the solenoid valves, even during can operation
