Introducing the latest in the Pyro-D-Lite Firing System Lineup

The Merlock Computer Firing System

The video below is a quick sample of a beta unit in testing

We will be offering a Pre-Sale in the next few months and with as hot as these units will be they will not last long.

We are expecting a complete sell out. If you have any intentions of purchasing one of the new Merlock computer firing systems we ask that you email us and be added to the Pre-Sale list we have going now. We will email anyone on the list the details of the sale when we have more info. The price for round one pre-sale's will be the lowest price you will ever see the units sell for new.

If you would like to be added to our Pre-Sale list for updates and purchasing info, Please email Pre-Sale@mortartubes.net with the subject of Pre-Sale

Merlock  Capablities

This system has the following firing modes:

1.  Manual:  corresponding PC Cue button will fire that cue

2.  SemiAuto:  Create a series of scriptable or programmed sequences and fire those set sequences at specific times with a simple executable  PC command

3.  Full Auto:  Upload your script from your own copy of FinalePro or business directly into the Merlock via CSV file and add your  music.  Then execute the entire show from your PC.

4.  Use the system as a standalone 32 cue sequencer which can take input from any pre-existing system with an output of 6v to 24v

5.  Use the system as an advanced stepper.  When set, everytime the system detects a firing pulse it will fire 1 cue in order from 1-32.  (can be sequenced and stepped in any order  that you program)

6. The purchase of this hardware comes with the firing software “FinaleFirer” and “Ion.Basic”

7. This Hardware will also work with Merlin Firing Software which is included  free and can be used instead of the Lumatech software.

8. FinaleFirer software can upload a generic CSV file if the user does not own a copy of FinalePro Scripting software

9. System can be connected to the PC via RS485 comport via simple 2 wire 22 ga wire

10. The hardware allows for bi-directlional communication when connected to the PC.  This allows for realtime product continuity testing seen at the PC and individual modules when first powered up.

11. System has multiple layers of circuit protection providing electrical isolation from every cue.

12. System must be keyed on and remotely or manually activated to be able to be armed to fire

13. System can have the software updated remotely when firmware updates are available.

14. The purchase during the pre-sale phase locks in that pre-sale price for 2 years for the identical model only.

With the purchase of a Merlock, you have the option of purchasing 2 activation license keys for FinalePRO for $186.75 (normally $249) or

if you already own the FinalePro software, you can upgrade to the business Finale for $285 (normally $400)

Programming notes:

During scripting you can split a module across multiple launch positions by adding the same module to each launch position (i.e., the same module address), but use the "first pin" and "number of pins" fields of the module at each position to assign the modules separate ranges of pins.

 For example, the module at position A could have first pin = 1, number of pins 10.  Position B could have first pin 11, number of pins 10.  Position C could have first pin 21, number of pins 12.  When you export, the script to the Merlock, you will have a single module, but in your simulation you will have effects split out over three positions.
