Your Smotec1500 features a DMX interface allowing you to control it via a universal DMX remote control.
It only requires one DMX channel, controlling the smoke output. The DMX values are as follows:
Valeur DMX
Effet
006 - 255
Increasing smoke output
000 - 005
Off : No smoke
DMX Addressing
To be controlled via DMX devices, each unit needs its own DMX address so the remote control does not send
information to untargeted units.
Your Smotec1500 only requires one channel.
Configure your dipswiches 1 to 9 in order for your units to receive the DMX signal. Please refer to the table below
to learn about the matches between DMX addresses and the dipswitches binary code.

Preparation
• Fill the tank with smoke fluid. We strongly recommend to use the Contest
®
FD5L
smoke fluid. It was designed
to be used with the Smotec series and guarantees the best visual effects, with a very fast smoke dissipation.
•
Your Smotec1500 and the FD5L fluid have been designed and optimised to be combined together.
Using any other smoke fluid will void the warranty of your smoke machine.
• Connect the power cord of your smoke machine to an electrical outlet. If necessary, position the circuit-
breaker power switch on "On".
• Connect a DMX cable from a universal DMX remote control to use it in DMX.
• Please wait approximately 8 minutes for the heater to reach its operating temperature.
Storage and cleaning
• Once done with your Smotec1500, please unplug it and empty the tank.
• Pour a small amount of deionised water into the tank, plug the machine again and use it as if it was smoke
fluid, until there is no water left in order to ensure an optimal lifespan.
