Tips and Tricks
-
Faster firing by using 2 chains of the
same delay time of
PYROCLOCK's
and ignite them at the same time. The second chain starts with a longer
delay time and you’ll find that you can divide the delay time in half!
Or for 1 second chains, start the second chain 1.5 seconds and you’ll have
the first chain ignite an item 1 second then the second chain will light
it 0.5 seconds after. Every item after is ignited every half second!
Wow!
-
Save even more money on ignition costs!
Use the same method as above but use 3 second delays with a 1.5s starter.
Now every item will have a 1.5 second delay and you’ll cut your
PYROCLOCK
costs in half (or more)!
-
Use a Quickmatch link between larger
mortar rack sizes or between mortars.
-
Pyro tip from a client says to use a delay
on a mine so that you ignite a shell and the mine at the same time. The
shell will appear in the air at the same time as the Mine and give you a
neat effect! Thanks Vince!
-
Don’t have the delay time you need? Want a
longer delay? Put 2
PYROCLOCK’s
together and that’s it! No you don’t have to plug the holes or
anything. You could get 4.5 second timing by combining 1.5 + 3 or
2.5 + 2. Imagine the combinations!
-
Mix delay types in a chain for a better
display!
-
Add a delay before every hand fired shell
or chain for added safety! The Canadian testing lab, CERL found that
some items that use flash breaks can actually maim an operator if it
failed while inside a mortar. Yes even using HDPE. Adding a delay will
allow your operator to get some distance away from the launch.
-
You can ignite Visco (green) fuse!
-
You can use them backwards. It may act
differently but you can!
Fun Facts!
Every roll of time fuse used for
PYROCLOCK
has a piece cut and burned. This determines the length for each delay.
That's quality control!
An Italian company said, “That may be what
your 1 second is, but that’s not my second!” When they timed his
“second” it was actually 1.2 seconds long! We can supply you with 1.2s
PYROCLOCK's,
if you like.
Every year over 1,000,000
PYROCLOCK’s
are sold in Europe since its birth. That's enough for over 10,000 displays a
year!
The flame from the time fuse created so much
pressure that 1% of the
PYROCLOCK
chains would come apart in the first design. A hole was drilled that acts as
a "vent" to release the gas pressure. It was so rare at first that they'd
blame the technician!
Italians are known to have at least 60
PYROCLOCK's
in a single chain. France has 90!
