5. Operating the HAZEMAX
TM
5.1
Selecting the Location
Secure a good location for the machine to rest solidly on the floor or suspended, so that
the output of the machine will not be restricted. Make sure that your unit has sufficient
open space in front of it. Always allow plenty of air circulation to allow the haze to
expand, separate and enlarge.
5.2
Electrical Power Requirements
This machine requires a well-grounded 120 VAC (or 230VAC) circuit for operation. The
HazeMax
TM
draws approximately 15 amps at 120 VAC. (The 230VAC model draws
approximately 8 amps.) During HazeMax
TM
operation this circuit should be dedicated to
the HazeMax
TM
. Do not add other equipment on this circuit. If you have any doubts about
the capacity or grounding of your existing circuits, consult a qualified electrician.
5.3
Hooking things up
Plug the 5-pin XLR of the Remote Control into the inlet marked “Remote Control Input”.
Fill the bottle with CITC’s Water Vapor Haze
TM
fluid. Place the filter end of the tube
inside the bottom of the bottle and tighten cap. Be sure the vent hole in the cap is not
blocked.
5.4
Operating the HazeMax™ using the Remote Control
1.
Turn on the power switch on the hazer. Verify that the red light in the switch and the red
“POWER” LED on the Remote both come on. Wait approximately 7-10 minutes for the
green "READY" light located on the remote control to come on.
2.
Using the "VARY OUTPUT" button, you may adjust the output volume with the
“OUTPUT” control KNOB.
3.
Using the “TIMER KNOBS” button, you may adjust the "ON" and "OFF" knobs to set the
haze cycle times. NOTE: Do not depress "VARY OUTPUT" when using timer.
4.
The "BLAST" button will create maximum haze as long as you hold the button down.
Using the manual control (BLAST) overrides the “OUTPUT” and “TIMER” functions, as
well as DMX control.
5.5
Operating the HazeMax™ using DMX Control
With DMX control, you will be able to adjust the haze levels on/off, from 0 – 100%. By
adjusting the dip switches on the back of the machine near the DMX cable plug-ins, the
user may assign one DMX address to the HazeMax™, giving you on/off and volume
control with one DMX channel (there is no timer on this DMX).
