•
Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect
AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic
parts, take the machine out of service and contact Martin Service and
Support for advice.
•
Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer
any service not described in this manual to Martin Service and Support.
•
Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
•
Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim fog output at electrical
connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
•
The fog produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it
leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally.
Keep people and objects at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from the fog
output nozzle.
•
Do not touch the fog output nozzle during or after use – it becomes
extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.
•
Fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point fog output at sources of ignition
such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
•
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
•
Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
•
Provide a minimum free space of 100 mm (4 in.) around the machine.
•
Provide a minimum free space of 500 mm (20 in.) around fans and air
vents and ensure free and unobstructed airflow to and around the
machine.
•
Keep the machine at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from combustible and
heat-sensitive materials.
•
Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
•
Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
•
Fasten the machine securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use.
The machine is not portable when installed.
•
Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at
least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
•
If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the machine to a rigging
clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support.
•
If the machine is installed in a location where it may cause injury or
damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a secondary
attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary
attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved by an
official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it
secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be
capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight
of the machine and all installed accessories.
