How to Check Connected Igniters for Continuity

Before firing your show, it’s essential to verify that all igniters are properly connected and functioning as expected. A continuity check confirms that the circuit between the module and igniter is complete, ensuring your system is ready to fire, and giving you confidence in your setup.

Warning:

If you are using app version 6.24+ on Android or 14.37+ on iOS, continuity checks must be performed manually. This change enhances safety and provides greater transparency in the firing process.
