FMS MODEL 66 High-Speed
SCINTILLATOR

The Model 66 is generally used to create a scintillating or "twinkling" action in fields of flashing bulbs. They can also be wired to create a chasing action. These units are constructed of very heavy duty materials to stand up under constant use with heavy loads.

 

The Model 66 features a simple wiring design for easy installation, and three shielded ball bearings which require no maintenance. As on all these mechanical flashers, the contacts are formed of a special silver alloy that actually performs better than pure silver.

PLEASE NOTE
The flashing speed of the Model 66 can be easily adjusted by removing motor shades using just a screw driver. The flasher is supplied with a shade on each motor, and as shades are removed the flashing speed decreases. When operating with shades on (430 flashes per circuit per minute) the contacts on all Model 66 units are rated at 12.5 amps each. When operating with shades off (250 flashes per minute) the contacts on the 3 and 4 point units are rated at 20 amps each, while the contacts on the 5 and 6 point units are rated at 17.5 amps each.

Note that the bulbs are wired "randomly" for the "twinkle" effect.
FMS-FLASHER.jpg
When using the Scintillator for "twinkling" bulbs, you will need a minimum of 4 circuits for this effect. More circuits are even better.

When wiring the bulb circuits, you MUST wire up the bulbs randomly. If you wire the bulb circuits with any type of repeated order, you will not get the twinkling effect, and in fact it will show a “direction” of the animation. That’s why it is critical that you randomly wire to take out any symmetrical look.
