„Keeping it simple“ was one of the main goals when we developed the ptx C3 controller. This extremely lightweight controller allows you to manually select and fire single firing cues as well as running a preprogrammed fireworks show manually or along a timeline. The C3 has a built-in radio module and can use cable-based and radio communication at the same time. The internal high capacity lithium ion battery ensures great firing power and operates the controller independant from external power supply.
A big illuminated and clearly arranged LCD display informs you about the system status and test results.
A menu driven setup utility lets you configure the controller to fit your environment.
20 illuminated buttons give you direct access to safety zones and spare cues as well as up to 3200 firing cues, which are organised in banks of 20.
The device is built into a rugged and water resistant pelicase for easy transportation and quick setup.
Simply open the lid and you are ready go. Waterproof plugs protect the connections from rain, snow, ice and sand.
A PC software for programming shows and transferring them to the controller is included.
