Wireless IGNITORS
Wireless IGNITORS
Wireless smoke cartridge and fireworks ignitors
For all pilots who want to pimp up their presentation with smoke or fireworks, without the hassle of cables and connectors. Specially for large gliders, installing cables through the wing is often difficult or impossible - IISI has the solution for this!
Security first: The cartridges are only fired, when the pilot really wants it (and not already on the ground, since the switch is already in the “on” position).
You can use multiple ignitors at the same time, and define if they will ignite in a sequential manner or all together - controlled by the pilot’s radio - with one switch.
The owners of the Cockpit V2 can display the ignition state on the screen.
The transmitter (FTX2) is connected to your receiver on a free channel, that’s it. Place one or more ignitors (FRX2) e.g. at the wing tips, on the bottom, etc. That’s all you need to do - no further installation needed to impress your public with great smoke effects!
No cables, no connectors, no hassle.
Binding is easy: the FRX2 recognize themselves your FTX2 when you power it up the first time. With the PCARD, you can set the ignition sequence number, and you can add up to 8 other FTX2 to your FRX2! This allows to use them on different models, without re-binging.
Every FTX2 has it’s own identification, so multiple systems can be used together without issues.

The FTX2 is plugged into a free channel of your receiver and works as transmitter for the FRX2. One FTX2 can control any number of FRX2. Multiple ignitions at at time or sequential ignitions can be done in any combination.
Features:
-Ignites with every pulse on your radio switch an FRX2 (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 etc.)
-Contains a security feature to avoid unwanted ignition: Arm the system by the following switch sequence: OFF - short (0.5s) ON - OFF. If this sequence is not recognized at the beginning, it will not be armed.
-Can be paired with the Cockpit V2 for status display (switch position, ignition number, arming status)
- Size: 36 x 22 x 5mm
-Weight: 10g
-Frequency: 433MHz, compatible with the IISI System
-No interference with your 2.4GHz radio system!
-Software Updates possible with Cockpit V2
The FRX2 is the autonomous ignitor with it’s own power supply. It is switched on automatically as soon as you connect a smoke cartridge or an ignitor. 2 LEDs show the battery voltage at power up, and indicate reception and ignition status. They also indicate an error case (e.g. due to short circuit). After succesful ignition, the FRX2 is switched off automatically.
The FRX2 will be paired automatically with your FTX2 when you switch it on the first time. After that, bindings can be modified or added using the Cockpit V2 or the PCARD.
Without further modifications, the FRX2 ignites at the first switch activation after being armed.
Features:
-Programmable ignition sequence number
-Contains battery, switch and charging circuits
-The FRX2 delivers the necessary energy to ignite a pyrotechnical ignitor. Compatible with most of commercially available ignitors and cartridges.
-Short circuit proof - try it!
-1S LiPo, >100mAh for over 50 ignitions
-Operating time: greater than 4h
-Charge the battery at any standard USB charger or PC.
-Zero Standby Power: Does not discharge during longer periods of non ussage. Charge / discharge it to about 3.8V if you plan to not to use it for a longer time
-Frequency: 433MHz, compatible with the IISI System
-No interference with your 2.4GHz radio system!
-Software Updates possible with Cockpit V2
Ready to use smoke cartridges can be found e.g. at Smoke-Fly (www.smokefly.ch) or use the AX60 (with additional ignitor)
The PCARD is used to program (PROG) and test the FRX2.
PROG features:
-Set the ignition sequence number 1 - 4
-Add FTX2 pairing (max. 8)
-Delete all stored pairings
In TEST position, the FRX2 is switched on - ignition is indicated with LED.
The PCARD does not care about polarity - it can be connected in either way on the FRX2.
The programming cable allows owners of the IISI Cockpit V2 ot program the FRX2 in an easy way. It is mandatory to install future software updates.
The programming cable is connected to the USB port of the FRX2 and to the IISI-Link port of the Cockpit V2.
