Operation in DMX Mode
DMX mode allows you to control the device by any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can
be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you
set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of
one channel will only affect the device in question.
In case of the 1-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1), the second
to 2 (CH2), the third to 3 (CH3), and so on. The highest start address is 512.
To operate the device using a DMX controller:
1.
Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons
[13]
to set the DMX starting address (A001-A512).
2.
Use DMX channel 1 to set the output volume.
Note:
When you use the device with a DMX controller, the remote control
[1]
will not function.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the machine every 1-2 months. Use a solution of 80 % distilled water mixed with 20 % white vinegar.
1.
Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities. Let the device cool down.
2.
Remove all remaining haze liquid from the reservoir.
3.
Fill the reservoir with the distilled water/vinegar solution.
4.
Place the device in a well-ventilated area and switch it on. Let it run until the tank is nearly empty.
5.
Remove any remaining cleaning solution from the reservoir.
6.
Fill the reservoir with fresh, new haze liquid.
7.
Let the device run for a few minutes to make sure all remains of the cleaning solution have disappeared.
General Maintenance
All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
The housing, the mounting supports and the installation location should not be deformed, modified or
tampered with; e.g. do not drill extra holes in mounting supports, do not change the location of the
connections…
The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the
device.
Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Do not immerse the device in any liquid.
There are no user-serviceable parts, apart from the fuse.
Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.
Replacing the Fuse
Only replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type and rating.
1.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug the mains lead.
2.
Using an appropriate screwdriver, push the fuse holder
[9]
inward and turn it counter-clockwise. You can
now take the fuse holder out of the housing.
3.
Remove the old fuse and install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
4.
Replace the fuse holder in the housing. Push it inward using the screwdriver and turn clockwise to fasten.
