The type of fluid used will play a large part in determining the resulting
effect. Choose a fluid suitable for the venue and type of effect you want to
create. The following fluids are compatible with the Glaciator X-Stream:
• Heavy Fog Fluid B2
• Heavy Fog Fluid C3
For normal operation we recommend the standard B2 fluid. For longer
lasting effects we recommend C3. Contact a JEM / Martin distributor for
advice on using other fluid grades/types.

The system uses a technique called 'Pump Ramping' to allow continuous
fog output during the entire operation period. When the output level is set
to maximum, the machine will give maximum output until the heat
exchanger has used its energy reserves after approximately 1 minute.
The pump ramping system will then override the output level setting and
reduce the pump speed for the rest of the operation period. This ensures
that the output will be continuous, although at a reduced level.

The pump can be damaged if the machine runs out of fluid and an the
electronic fluid sensing system ensures that the pump is shut down when
the fluid level is too low. The Left-hand display will show a Lo Flu
message to warn the user that the pump is shutting down due to lack of
fluid.
