FireTEK Technology Standard
Engineered without compromise for world-class pyromusicals, stadium celebrations, and hazardous industrial staging where reliability, timing accuracy, and safety are non-negotiable.
29V Capacitor Firing Engine
Unlike budget consumer-grade firing systems operating on weak 9V or 12V alkaline supplies, every FireTEK module incorporates dual high-current DC-DC boost converters charging low-ESR military capacitor banks up to 29 Volts.
- Fires up to 20 standard e-matches in series per single cue.
- Fires up to 5 e-matches in parallel with zero misfire risk.
- Instantaneous 10A peak pulse current overcoming long lead-wire resistance.
Dual-Band Mesh Architecture
FireTEK transmits synchronously over two isolated radio spectrums: Sub-GHz (868 MHz for Europe or 915 MHz for the Americas) for extreme obstacle penetration, and 2.4 GHz for ultra-fast bidirectional telemetry.
- True Self-Healing Mesh: every module retransmits packets to distant nodes.
- Operational range exceeding 2,000 meters line-of-sight.
- Immune to crowded venue Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference.
1ms Timecode Precision & GPS
Pyromusicals require microsecond alignment between audio beats and pyrotechnic bursts. The FireTEK ecosystem supports hardware-level SMPTE LTC timecode generation and listening, paired with GPS atomic clocks.
- Absolute 1 millisecond cue firing resolution across all networked modules.
- External SMPTE LTC input/output for audio consoles and laser desks.
- GPS atomic clock module for multi-barge displays without radio linking.
Native Finale 3D Workflow
Eliminate error-prone CSV spreadsheets and manual scripting. FireTEK is natively integrated with industry-standard choreography software: Finale 3D and FWsim.
- Direct export of choreography scripts directly onto a USB flash drive.
- Instant hardware cue assignment and continuous resistance checking.
- Full support for Steppers, Sweeps, DMX flame machines, and spark effects.
Fail-Safe Hardware Architecture
Physical Key Interlock
Armed mode can only be engaged with physical mechanical security keys. Removing the key immediately isolates the firing capacitor banks from field output terminals.
Live Resistance Telemetry
Real-time measurement of individual cue resistance (Ohms) reported back to the FTQ-99PX screen. Detect shorts or open circuits before arming without igniting sensitive squibs.
Instant Emergency Pause
Dedicated high-priority RF pause signal halts script execution within 5ms across all modules in the mesh if safety perimeters are breached during a live event.
