Important note regarding the priority level for the three types of methods used 
to control the operation of your Hurricane™ Haze 3D.  
The priority control levels are:  
1.  DMX - A DMX contrtoller takes priority control over both the product’s 

digital control panel and the HC-T. 

2.  Digital control panel - The control panel will only take priority control over 

the HC-T. 

3.  HC-T remote controller - The HC-T has the lowest priority control level. 

Examples: 

 

If using the digital control panel and afterwards you connect a DMX 
controller to the product, then the DMX controller will take priority control.

 

 

If using the remote controller and the digital control panel is used next, 
then the digital control panel will take priority control.

 

 

 

Fluid Tank 

Indicator 

LEDs 

Indicator LEDs show the status of the fill tank, as follows: 

 

Red - the fluid tank is currently heating 

 

Flashing Red - the fluid tank is currently heating and requires refilling 

 

Blue - the fluid tank is ready 

 

Flashing Blue - the heater is warmed but the fluid tank requires refilling 

 

Note: The Hurricane™ Haze 3D may output haze for a short duration to allow for a 
self-checking cycle.
