- Extremely compact footprint engineered specifically to mount on wooden or aluminum mortar frames.
- Uses standardized jumper links to quickly common ground channels for step-fire sequences.
- Reduces setup time in high-density single-shot positions by up to 60%.
1. High-Density Single-Shot Arrays
For stadium roof perimeters and single-shot comet sweeps, conventional bulky slats take up too much physical real estate. The FQ-7x is designed for minimalist, rugged mounting directly on rack uprights.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the jumper links used for on the FQ-7x?
Jumpers allow operators to link common return lines across multiple positions, enabling fast matrix configurations without messy wire splices.
