PFE Advanced 10 Outputs

The PFE Advanced 10 Output Receiver is the most renowned receiver in the field of wireless firing technology and is a true all-rounder. A real revolution since 2002. The receiver is waterproof (at least IP65) and has an ultra-stable housing made of thick-walled, anodized aluminum. This allows the
device to be used in the most extreme outdoor applications.

Due to its relatively small dimensions, it is also ideal for indoor and SFX applications. The device offers a fully integrated radio solution. No external radio modems are required and it operates bi-directionally. In addition, it does not depend on any external data lines to function. This eliminates frequent sources of error.

For operation, you can access the menu with the magnetic pen and check or program all values and settings on site. Even switching on and off is done with the magnetic pen, so there are no vulnerable buttons or switches. An optional code request after switching on prevents unauthorized use of the device. With this receiver all outputs are completely freely programmable.

The gold-plated connection terminals accept individual wires in addition to banana plugs or quick-fastening clamps and enable extremely low contact resistance with permanent corrosion resistance.

The PFE Advanced 10 Outputs has a plain text display for menu navigation and for displaying all device data (battery values, remaining range, programming, etc.) as well as multicolor LEDs that indicate all relevant output states with different colors (continuity, programming, firing, etc.).

Based on the resistance values of the connected firing circuits and the set resistance limit, the device automatically determines whether firing is reliably possible and displays this to you.

24 volt firing voltage enables the reliable firing of 14 “A”- or “U”-matches in series or 20 “A”- or 10 “U”-matches in parallel. Using a combination of series and parallel connections it is even possible to fire up to 280 e-matches per output and at a specific time.

As the firing power is not buffered by a capacitor, this receiver is also ideal for controlling solenoid valves and effect devices. With the optional Terminal function, all 10 outputs can be triggered multiple times with any of the 999 channels and an adjustable firing duration ranging from 0.1 to 25.0 seconds. It is also possible to use a channel number to turn the output on and a different channel number to turn it off, so any duration can be programmed.

The high-performance rechargeable batteries deliver a firing current of up to 50 amps. Intelligent charging systems ensure that the batteries are kept at 100% power without overcharging.

In conjunction with the PFC Advanced or the PFM Advanced USB Radio Modem, bi-directional communication is possible. All relevant receiver data, e.g. remaining range, battery status, continuity test, etc can be viewed from your controller or PC. The output programming can be easily edited remotely. These remote accesses can be carried out with up to 999 devices. In addition, the device can be completely switched off by radio or put into a sleep mode and woken up again to increase the maximum operating time from 60 hours to up to 35 days.

A stepping function is available as an optional feature, allowing individual delay times to be assigned to any output. This enables multiple step operations to be executed simultaneously within a single device. The step operations can be assigned to any number of receivers, making it easy to achieve dynamic chases. The firing delay can be set from 0.01 up to 99.99 seconds. These delay values are digitally adjustable over the entire range in steps of 0.01 seconds.

An optionally available plug-in Matrix Module expands the receiver to support up to 100 outputs. You can freely program all outputs and check all data on the device or remotely from the PFC Advanced Controller or PC using the PFM Modem. All outputs can have the stepping function (optional).

If the battery voltage is too low, the unit can switch itself off automatically to protect the batteries from deep discharge. The multi-function sockets can be used to connect an external power supply.

A built-in RS-485 interface for optional cable communication is included.

The devices of the “Advanced” series are fully compatible with the devices of the “Profi” series. Software updates ensure you can keep your firing system up to date. The PFE Advanced is a high quality product made in Germany. Only high-quality components are used to provide reliability and a long product life.
