SafeX Flame Jet Flame Box
The SafeX Flame Jet flame box is another SD supported DMX device. Like all flame boxes it has a safety channel and a trigger channel. In order for the flame box to operate, the safety channel must be turned on before any trigger commands will activate. For safety reasons we must also turn the safety channel back off at the end of the script. The safety and triggers may be turned on or off any number of times as long as the safety is on before any trigger cues are executed. The Flame Jet has three commands for this: FlameJetSafetyOn, FlameJetTrigger and FlameJetSafetyOff. Note that multiple Flame Jet devices may use the same safety channel.
