Filling up fog fluid
WARNING!
Fluid handling
Always disconnect from the mains before filling the machine. Only use water-based fluids. We
recommend high-quality Eurolite fluids. Never add flammable liquids. If fluid gets inside the machine,
have it checked by skilled personnel before it is operated.
Unscrew the tank cap and fill the tank with fog fluid. Tightly close the tank again.
Placing the unit
•
Remove all packing materials from the shipping box. Make sure that there are no packing remnants at the fog
output nozzle.
•
Install the device in a well-ventilated area. The operation in an insufficiently ventilated room can lead to a
condensation of the fog fluid. The resulting slippery surface can cause accidents.
•
To prevent overheating the device, ensure that the ventilation slits are not covered and that air can circulate
freely.
•
Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm around and above the device.
•
Only install the fog machine on scratch resistant and water resistant surfaces (inclination angle max. 15°).
•
Do not orientate the escape nozzle directly in the direction of the audience's eyes. In order to create a good
effect, there should be a distance between the device and the audience of at least 1.5 m.
•
All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some moisture
accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing your unit.
Switching on
•
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug.
•
Prior to switching on, check the fluid level of the tank and fill up fog fluid, if required.
•
Switch on the machine with the power switch (lights up). The fog machine will heat up. While
the unit is warming up, fog output will not be possible yet.
•
Once the warm-up process is completed, the green control indicator on the cable remote
control will light up and fog output will be possible; either via remote control or via DMX.
•
After operation, switch off the machine with the power switch.
CAUTION!
Operating conditions
Prior to transportation, allow the machine to cool down and completely empty the tank.
Never operate the fog machine without fog fluid. Fire hazard due to overheating! Besides, the unit may
be damaged.
During operation smoke emission may stop. In this case the device is heating up again. After a short
period, the machine will be ready to emit fog again. This process guarantees an appropriate
vaporization temperature and the best fog emission possible. The temperature is regulated by a high-
quality thermostat.
Notes
•
All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so after
being turned off.
•
All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself down for a short
period in order to heat up again. During this time no fog can be produced.
•
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, disconnect from mains immediately. Check the fluid
level, the external fuse, remote control connection and the power supply. If all of the above appears to be ok,
reconnect the unit again. If fog does not come out after holding the remote control button on the remote control
for 30 seconds, check the tube attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through it. If you are unable
to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue pushing the remote button, as this may damage
the unit. Return the machine to your dealer.
