fog Storm 1200HD™ Operating Instructions
Always be sure to maintain an adequate supply of American DJ
®
Brand Fog Juice™ in the fluid reservoir. A green L.E.D. on the
front of the unit will glow to warn you when the fog juice is run-
ning low. The pump will shut off automatically when the fog juice
reaches a certain level. Running the fog machine dry will cause
pump failure and or clogging. This is the largest cause of failure
in fog and haze machines. Only American Fog Juice™ is recom-
mended and not all fog juice is created equal.
Remote Operation
:
The remote control comes connected to the
fog machine but can be removed to access the 25 foot cord. Once
the machine is plugged in and turned on, a red power L.E.D. on the
remote will glow indicating the unit is receiving power. The unit has
a warm up time of five (5) minutes. After the unit has warmed up, a
GREEN L.E.D. on the remote will light indicating the unit is ready to
emit fog. To emit fog, simply press the green button on the remote
for desired length of time. If the GREEN L.E.D. is on and fog does
not come out after holding the button down for 30 seconds, check
the fluid tank and hose to make sure there is fluid going through the
hose.
Optional DMX Timer Remote:
With the optional DMX Timer
Remote you can operate the fog output automatically and turn the
Fog Storm 1200HD™ into a one channel DMX intellingent unit. The
DMX Timer Remote must be connected to both the Fog Storm
1200HD™ and a universal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation

The timer function allows fog to be emitted at designated intervals.
The remote has three (3) L.E.D.s that indicate different functions;
- The RED L.E.D. located to the left will indicate the timer and con-
troller is turned on and is activated.
- The GREEN L.E.D. will indicate fog output is available and ready.
- The RED L.E.D. located to the right is for manual fogging, wait for
the GREEN L.E.D. to light up, then press the button.
The remote also contains two rotary knobs.
- The Duration knob serves two functions 1) Turns the timer on and
off. 2) Sets the timers duration (Length of fog output).
If you experience low fog output, pump noise, or no fog output at all,
disconnect and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to con-
tinue pushing the remote control’s activation button as this may dam-
age the fog machine. Check fluid level, the external fuse or breaker,
remote connection, and be sure the wall outlet is sending power. If
all of the above appear to be okay, and the unit fails to operate cor-
rectly, the unit will require service. Please contact American DJ
