PFE Advanced 20 Outputs

The PFE Advanced 20 Output Receiver is an addition in the field of wireless firing technology and is a true all-rounder. The receiver is waterproof (at least IP65) and has an ultrastable housing made of thick-walled, anodized aluminum. This allows the device to be used in the most extreme outdoor applications. Thanks to its compact size, it is also ideal for indoor and SFX applications.

The device offers a fully integrated radio solution. No external radio modems are required. In addition, the function does not depend on any external data lines.

To operate the device simply use the magnetic pen to access the menu, check all values and program settings on-site. Even switching on and off is done with the magnetic pen to ensure there are no vulnerable buttons or switches. An optional code request after switching on prevents unauthorized use of the device.

The output sockets directly accept our quick-fastening clamps which enable extremely low contact and corrosion resistance. The PFE Advanced 20 Outputs has a plain text display for menu navigation and for displaying all device data (battery values, remaining range, programming, etc.), along with multicolor LEDs to indicate all relevant output states (continuity, programming, firing, etc.).

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

12 volt firing voltage ensures the reliable ignition of 7 “A”- or “U”-matches in series or 20 “A”- or 10 “U”-matches in parallel. Thanks to a special combination of series and parallel connections it is possible to fire up to 140 e-matches per output simultanously.

Since the firing power is not capacitance discharged, this receiver is also ideal for controlling solenoid valves (12V) and effect devices. With the optional terminal function, 10 outputs can be triggered multiple times with all 999 channels with an adjustable firing duration of 0.1 to 25.0 seconds, or an “Output on” or “Output off” channel command.

The high-performance rechargeable battery delivers firing currents of up to 50 amps. Intelligent charging electronics ensures that the battery is always maintained at 100% availability without overcharging.

In conjunction with the PFC Advanced Controller or the PFM Advanced USB Radio Modem, bi-directional communication is possible. You can remotely access all relevant receiver data from your controller or PC, e.g. remaining range, battery status, continuity test, etc. Programming of the outputs can easily be 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 40 hours up to 45 days.

An optional stepper extension is available. An individual delay time can be assigned to each output. This allows that multiple different step operations are possible in one device at the same time. The step operations can be assigned to any number of receivers. Dynamic speed changes are easily programmed. 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 second increments.

If the battery voltage is too low, the unit can be set to switch off automatically to protect the batteries from permanent damage.

The receiver has two M10 threaded holes in the base to allow a range of mounting options, with an eyelet to accommodate a safety cable where required.

The devices of the “Advanced” series are fully compatible with the devices of the original “Profi” series. The availability of software updates enables you to keep your firing system current. The PFE Advanced uses premium components to give the utmost reliability coupled with a long lifespan, it is a product of high quality German engineering.
