4. Compatibility

The controller PFS Pocket can control all devices of the PYROTEC family, this includes "Profi" and

"Advanced" series. The PFS Pocket is unidirectional only. This means, that the bi-directional functions

of the PFE Advanced Receiver will not be received and processed by the PFS Pocket.

This device was developed for sending ignition commands to pyrotechnics, and display fireworks, via

a Galaxis Profi or Advanced Receiver and also to G-Flames. The triggering of magnetic valves, relays

and other special effect devices is also possible. Every other application must have written approval

from the manufacturer. The PFS Pocket needs to be protected from moisture and humidity.

Please read the safety instructions section relating to pyrotechnics at the beginning of this manual as

well as the safety instructions relating specifically to the PFC Pocket.

6. Switching on and switching off

To switch on the PFS Pocket, depress the On/Off button for a short time (approx. 1 sec.). The LED

"On/Off" is then illuminated constantly in blue to indicate that the unit is on.

After switching on, the device will be in normal mode. The firing mode is switched off.

The PFS Pocket can only be switched off when the firing mode is switched off. ("Arm" LED off). To

switch off the device, depress the "On/Off" button for a short time (approx. 1 sec.). The blue LED will

go out to signify that the unit is switched off.

The battery power remaining is shown using four green LEDs in the lower left corner. The battery

display shows the remaining energy in 25% increments.

The display works correctly, irrespective of whether Alkaline or NiMH batteries are being used.

The maximum operating time in normal operation is 38 h for alkaline batteries and 20 h for NiMH

batteries. In firing mode it is 15 h for alkaline batteries and 8 h for NiMH batteries.

8. Range test function

With the firing mode off, briefly depress the button "RT" (Range Test). The LED "RT" is illuminated

green and the signal will be transmitted. Devices, that receive this signal, show the remaining range as

a % on their LC display.

This process takes approx. 10 seconds. After that the LED ceases and the device reverts back into

normal mode.
