Visco, FAST BURNING Chinese, Yellow

Excellent for chaining festival ball mortar shells and Class C cakes together to make your Fourth of July display faster and more fun. If you cannot get quickmatch for shell leaders, you may want to try Fast Visco instead. Yellow, 3/32 inch nominal (.10 inch, 2mm actual) diameter, Chinese made fuse. Burns at about 6 seconds per foot (5 times faster than standard American visco). It is colored yellow so you do not mix it up with other, slower-burning fuses. Gives a lot of fire, not coated with nitrocellulose laquer. DO NOT USE THIS FUSE IN PLACE OF STANDARD VISCO--IT BURNS *MUCH* FASTER.

Electric Match Dip Kit

This is a pre-measured selection of all the pyrotechnic compositions needed to make electric matches, using GN5030 Ematch Heads or GN5040 Ematch Heads With Wires. Follow the simple directions to mix the two-part pyrogen, and you can be making electric matches in ten minutes. Each Dip Kit cotains enough material to make about 300-500 finished electric matches. This is a less expensive alternative to buying all the chemicals separately and mixing your own. 3 components in 3 separate bottles in each kit.

Hey, Just wanted to let you know that I tried out the new ematch dip kit - absolutely awesome. Never had to thin it, dried in minutes even in the Pacific Northwest 50 degree 80% humidity weather and 100% success on firing them. Also the instructions are fantastic… photo's.. Now who would have ever thought of those!!! --Best Regards,

GN5040

Ematch blanks, 1 foot wires attached (inert)

Electric match chips with 0.3 meter (approximately 1 foot) lead wires soldered on. The match chips have a nichrome wire soldered on (48-49 gauge, 0.035mm). Each chip/head is covered by a plastic protective shroud, which slides up and down the wires. Finished ematches are sensitive to friction and shock. When covering the ematch head, the shroud helps to prevent accidental ignition of the ematch. There is no pyrotechnic composition (pyrogen) on these chips. Use the pyrogen in Skylighter's Ematch Dip Kit for most reliable results. 40 each in a plastic bag.

GN6010

Electrical Firing Box, 10 Cue

This is a capacitor-discharge (CD) 10-cue (or channel) firing box. It is used to remotely fire one or more electric matches. Each channel (or cue) can fire 1-50 matches wired in series (daisy-chained). This rugged system is housed in a 5 inch x 6 inch x 1.5 inch thick aluminum case. On the back panel are a key lock switch for main power and a DB25F receptacle for output to our GN6080 100 foot cable (not included) and our GN6090 10 Position Slat (not included). On the top cover there is a "TEST/ARM" mode switch, an "ON/OFF" power switch; a "FIRE/OFF" switch with ready-light; a "push to test" switch with an LED light for continuity; and a rotary switch to select the desired cue (1 through 10). Normal firing procedure is to first connect one or more electric matches to the pyrotechnic device(s) being fired. Then connect the electric matches to the GN6090 slat. Then connect the slat to the GN6080 100 foot cable. Then connect the cable to the firing box at the DB25F receptacle. When you are ready to use your system, turn the power switch on. The turn the arming switch to "Test" mode and the rotary switch to the first cue number to test. Then push the test button to see if the red LED lights up in the built-in circuit tester. If it does, you have good continuity through that firing circuit. Turn the rotary switch to each of the remaining cues, repeating the continuity test as you go, until all firing circuits have been tested. When you are ready to fire, change the arming switch to "Arm". Move the rotary switch to the first position (usually #1), and then press the Fire switch, which will fire all the electric matches on that cue. With a new "C" alkaline battery (one required, not included), the unit will re-charge in 10 seconds. The system will generate 300 volts (rated at 8.7 joules).

You can quickly and easily connect electric matches or lead wires to our slats--no wire twisting, no lugs, no screws etc. Just push each lever down - insert the wire - release the lever. Contains ten pairs of audio style connectors, one pair for each cue. 1 inch thick by 3 inches wide by 8 inches long and constructed of heavy-duty printed circuit board to provides reliable wiring. Mounted on a wooden platform for support and durability. Each cue is labeled in large white numerals which makes it easy to see in the dark. Uses a DB25F connector for input from GN6080 cable.

Slat, Electrical Firing, 10 Position, Series

This "Series Slat" is used when you want to fire multiple devices all at the same time from different positions in the fireworks display. For instance, you could set up your display with 4 series slats, 40 feet apart from each other, all cabled together. In position #1 on each series slat, you could have red roman candles wired in. Then, when you fire #1 on your firing box, all the red roman candles would fire at the same time. To connect series slats, use 25-wire, straight-through serial cables (not modem cables), with male DB25 connectors on each end. You can buy them at computer stores in various lengths. The last slat in a series must be one of our standard slats. Slats are used to connect electric matches to the power source of an firing system. Each slat can accomodate up to 10 firing cues. Any cue can in turn, consist of from 1-50 electric matches if you use our CD firing systems and fresh batteries. Slats are normally placed within a few feet of the pyrotechnic device(s) to be fired. You can quickly and easily connect electric matches or lead wires to our slats--no wire twisting, no lugs, no screws etc. Just push each lever down - insert the wire - release the lever. Contains ten pairs of audio style connectors, one pair for each cue. 1 inch thick by 3 inches wide by 8 inches long and constructed of heavy-duty printed circuit board to provides reliable wiring.

Ematch Tester

Battery powered continuity tester designed to test electric matches prior to attaching to any device. Current is well below 50mA. Simply touch one wire of an electric match to the button battery and the other wire to the metal contact on the other side and an LED will light up if the match is good (has continuity). Very lightweight, this new tester comes attached to a string that you can wear around your neck and becomes an instant conversation starter with pyro groupies of the opposite sex. Worth it's weight in gold for that application alone. No pyro neck should be without one. Approximately 1" x 2".
