Installation and setting up
DANGER! DO NOT operate the Roadie Compact until you have read and
observed all the precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 3.
L o c a t i o n
The Roadie Compact may be located on the floor or may be suspended using
the rigging points.
The machine can operate in any orientation from horizontal (on its wheels) to
vertical (resting on its back firing upwards into the air). If using the machine
vertically the smoke fluid bottle must be turned round in the fluid compartment
so that the outlet remains on top.
The maximum downward tilt is 35 degrees (unless using an external fluid line)
as steeper angles may cause fluid leakage.
If the machine is to be suspended, a qualified rigger must be employed to
ensure the machine is rigged safely. Do not suspend the machine over areas
where people will be underneath.
Ensure that there is at least 100mm clearance all round the machine, 500mm
clearance round the fan intake and at least 600mm in front of the smoke output.
A C p o w e r
Before using the machine, a grounding-type (earthed) power plug that fits the
local power outlets must be obtained locally and installed on the power cable.
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated:
•
'Attachment plugs shall be rated not less than 125% of the rated current of
the equipment'
When installing the plug, follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and
connect pins as follows:
yellow and green wire to ground (earth), blue wire to neutral and brown wire to
live.
The table below shows some common pin identification schemes.

Before connecting the Roadie Compact to power, verify that the AC supply is
adequately dimensioned for the current draw of the machine. The machine
requires 13.1A at 230V (EU) or 11.8A at 208V (US).
