DESCRIPTION

The STADIUMSHOT III is a special effects machine that shoots confetti or streamers into the air. The STADIUMSHOT III is intended for outdoor use. At the desired moment the air flows from the tank via the barrel out of the machine. This results in the confetti or streamers leaving the output pipe at high velocity into the air up to 40 metres far*.
The machine is equipped with an onboard compressor to pressurize the air tank. The pressure can be set via the machine’s display to accommodate different venues. When the machine is loaded with MAGICFX CONFETTI or STREAMERS, a single push on the physical button on the STADIUMSHOT III will charge the air tank to the set pressure, and maintain the pressure at the set value until the shot is fired. If for any reason the pressure drops, and cannot be compensated, the system will block the shot for safety reasons.
The STADIUMSHOT III is operated with DMX and RDM, or with an external low voltage pyro controller (24 V). The STADIUMSHOT III can be operated in sequence with multiple machines. Furthermore, the STADIUMSHOT III is configured for safety control with an ARM SYSTEM.

  • The output distance depends on input material, air pressure and environmental conditions.

1.4 ARM CONTROL

NOTICE The STADIUMSHOT III cannot be operated without connection to an ARM CONTROLLER in an ARM SYSTEM.

The STADIUMSHOT III is configured for safety control with an ARM SYSTEM. The STADIUMSHOT III cannot be operated without the safety signal from the control unit of the ARM SYSTEM: The ARM CONTROLLER. When there’s no signal, the air valve from the tank is switched off. The pressurized air can’t leave the tank, revenging  the STADIUMSHOT III from producing any high-risk SFX output. As a result, any related hazard/or property damage is stopped and prevented.
The ARM CONTROLLER is equipped with a key switch to arm/disarm the connected SFX machine(s), an emergency stop button, and a reset button. The ARM SYSTEM is wired with EtherCON cables that carry the safety signal from the ARM CONTROLLER.
For more information about the ARM SYSTEM and to learn how to configure a complete safety system, refer to the ARM SYSTEM Configuration Manual (PART02323).
For more information about the ARM CONTROLLER and to learn how to correctly set up and use the ARM SYSTEM, refer to the ARM CONTROLLER User and Installation Manual (PART01882).

1.5 DMX CONTROL
The STADIUMSHOT III is controlled with 1 enable address and 1 operational address.

DMX Address Address range
Enable address 1 – 512
Start address (Trigger) 1 – 512
DMX addresses

The enable address cannot be the same as the operational address. Operating of these addresses results in the following:

DMX Address DMX Value (decimal) Result
0 99 Device disabled
Enable address 100 154
155 255 Device disabled
Start address (Trigger) 0 199
200 255 Fire
Operation of the DMX addresses

When you link multiple machines with DMX, we advise you to use the same enable address for all machines.

Always plug in a DMX Terminator into the DMX output of the final unit in the control sequence. Using a DMX Terminator improves signal reliability.
