PFE Advanced 20 Outputs

A new star is born.

The PFE Advanced 20 Outputs is a new receiver in the field of wireless firing technology and is a true all-rounder. 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 even in the most extreme outdoor applications. Due to its 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. In addition, the function does not depend on any external data lines. This eliminates these 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. Also with this receiver all outputs are completely freely programmable.

The output sockets directly accept our quick-fastening clamps and enable extremely low contact resistance with permanent 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.), as well as multicolor LEDs for displaying all relevant output states with different colors (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 enable the reliable firing of 7 ‘A’- or ‘U’-matches in series or 20 ‘A’- or 10 ‘U’-matches in parallel. Due to a special mixture of series and parallel connection it is even possible to fire up to 140 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 (12V) and effect devices. With the optional terminal function, 10 outputs can be triggered several times with all 999 channels and an adjustable firing duration of 0.1 to 25.0 seconds.

The high-performance rechargeable batteries deliver firing currents of up to 50 ampere. Intelligent charging electronics ensure that the batteries are always kept at 100% availability without overcharging.

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

A stepper extension is available as an option, giving you virtually unlimited possibilities. An individual delay time can be assigned to each output. This means that even many 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 can be easily realized. The firing delay can be set from only 0.01 up to 99.99 seconds. These delay values are digitally adjustable over the entire range in steps of 0.01 seconds.

If the battery voltage is too low, the unit can be switched off automatically to protect the batteries from deep discharge.

The devices of the ‘Advanced’ series are fully compatible with the devices of the ‘Profi’ series. The possibility of software updates allows you to keep your firing system constantly up to date. The PFE Advanced is a German high quality product. The used premium components guarantee highest reliability and a very long lifetime.

Two holes with threads are available for all kinds of mounting options. An eyelet for a safety cable eases use on stages.
