+TeleLaunch is a secure radio-controlled rocket launch system capable of
operating up to 792 pads from a single controler. A typical TeleLaunch
-system consists of one LCO unit and one or more pyro units.
+system consists of one TeleLCO unit and one or more TeleFire units.
TeleLaunch uses a two-way digital radio communications system for
positive indication of all operations. The communications link is
## Launch Control Products ##
-All launch control units in the TeleLaunch system are designed to use
+All TeleLCO devices in the TeleLaunch system are designed to use
a lithium polymer battery that can be recharged over USB. They support
distinct arm and fire switches, continuous indication of igniter
continuity, and have super-bright LED indicators for remote arming,

TeleLCO controls up to 99 TeleFire banks, comes packaged in a rugged
case, and is typically placed on a table for use by the designated LCO.

+## TeleFire Boxes ##
+
+Each TeleFire box in the TeleLaunch system uses FET technology for lowest
possible resistance paths, allowing maximum current to be reliably
delivered from the power source to the igniter leads. TeleFire boards can
be powered by any 10-15V supply, typically a 12V sealed lead acid
* Super-bright LEDs for continuity, arming and RF quality indicators.

and ready to fire.
* Local arming switch. When in the safe position, power is completely
of the LCO accidentally engaging firing circuits during rocket
preparations at the pad.
- * Each board is designed to fit in a standard Hammond weather-sealed
- polycarbonate enclosure with weather-sealed rocker switches for
- power and arming plus cable glands for DC input cable and igniter
- output cables. Alternatively, boards can be configured to mount
- in the user's choice of enclosure, such as a metal ammo box or
- larger NEMA enclosure with space for the user's choice of
- external connectors.
