Simply In Control
Controlling a Fogger
Want to include remote control of a fogger from a sensor or trigger, have it operate on a programmed schedule, or even control it wirelessly? Read how in the Fogger Control PDF.
Multiple Sensors and Multiple Controllers
Its possible to use more than one sensor or trigger on a single controller. Or, you can connect multiple controllers to a single trigger or sensor. Read how in the Controllers PDF document.

The Mantis family takes controllers to a whole new level with list of features far too extensive to list here.
The microMANTIS is a digital event timer that uses rotary (analog) controls to quickly set an otherwise all digital device. Those controls consist of a PRE DELAY to adjust the amount of time between when a trigger is received and when the action takes place. The EVENT TIME control determines how long an event (prop jumping, light lighting, fogger fogging, etc) takes place. And the POST DELAY determines the amount of time before the device can be triggered again.
The mini is a single channel programmable prop/event controller using the "key-banger" approach to record and play back the user's actions.
The mini-2 is trainable in the same manner as the mini, but offers two channels with up to 32-amp control, and high-quality onboard audio. With it's audio level indicators, the miniMANTIS-2 gives you great audio on the first try.
Unique to the Mantis family of products is the Lights Alive Direct Connect.
Connection between any Mantis controller and any Mantis sensor or trigger is as simple as plugging in cable. No electronics knowledge is needed and no configuration is required.
Click, click, done! It's that easy.
The LADC connection supplies power to the sensor in addition to the trigger circuit.
There is a link light to confirm communication between the Mantis controller and Mantis sensors or triggers.
In addition to the modular LADC connection, screw terminals are provided to accommodate third-party triggers.
The microMANTIS, miniMANTIS, and miniMANTIS-2 are available in a quality housing, with no exposed circuit boards.
In addition, the micro and mini are available as a built and tested board without case or as an unassembled kit.
Along with the Mantis controllers and standard triggers, these are the first in a long series of Mantis intelligent Sensors, all of which are microprocessor controlled.
The Infrared Beam Interrupt sensor is an easy and reliable way to positively identify when someone crosses the beam path. You will have no more concerns about false triggering with PIR (passive infrared) sensors. With it's LADC connection, it is up and running with just the click of a modular plug. Click, click, done!
For those who want to use this sensor with third-party controllers, a simple adapter with screw terminals is available. When the ultimate range is needed, there is also a remote infrared transmitter that will double the range.
