Which term denotes a flame effect that is supervised and fired by an automatic control system?

• A. Flame Effect
• B. Manual Flame Effect
• C. Automatic Flame Effect
• D. Direct ignition

Answer: (C)

Automatic flame effects are those connected to a control system that can start, sequence, monitor, and shut down flames as part of a show, with safety interlocks and cues handled automatically. This means the flame can be fired under supervision by the control system without a technician triggering it at the device, which is exactly what this term conveys. A generic flame effect is just the visual concept without specifying control, a manual flame effect requires a person to ignite and manage it, and direct ignition refers to how ignition happens rather than who controls the firing.
