fireTEK

The minds behind fireTEK firing systems are engineering and fireworks professionals who have come together with one intention: to design and build a uniquely capable firing system from scratch. Established in 2009, fireTEK has dedicated itself to changing the way amateur and professional pyrotechnicians interact with their firing systems.

Currently, fireTEK is being used worldwide by a host of firework enthusiasts and professionals. It has received accolades not only for being safe, but also for being intelligent and easy to operate. Packed full of innovative features, fireTEK is certain to bring peace of mind to anyone using it regardless of the pyrotechnic project being prepared.

Supported Firing Modes
  1. Standard script. Press a button to start a traditional show or Pyromusical.
  2. Semi-automatic. Press a button to trigger the corresponding track ("mini script").
  3. Combined main show with semi-automatic tracks. Main show starts automatically; press a button to trigger track that plays over the top of the main show.
Special Features
  1. DMX and pyro.  fireTEK is one of the first firing systems to support DMX output for controlling flames and other devices.  Finale 3D includes pre-defined simulations and DMX patches for designing flame shows with G-Flame, Explo, or Flamaniac flame systems and controlling the show using fireTEK modules.  Use Finale 3D to design combination shows that include flames and pyro.  The fireTEK firing system can control the entire show!
  2. Slats.  fireTEK modules distribute their pins in 12 pin slats, which fireTEK incorporates into their module addressing scheme using two part module/slat addresses like 10-A, 10-B, etc.   Finale 3D supports advanced addressing methods enabling you to specify what position groups can share slats from the same module.  Along with rack layout capabilities, Finale 3D and fireTEK give you control over the show setup that can ensure efficient operations.
