ZR12 AL / DMX 

 

 

What can my machine do? 

 
The ZR12 brothers are mid-sized, portable fog machines with enhanced output to provide a continuous flow of 
dry dense fog. 
Distinguished from each other by their features of control, the ZR12 AL uses a multifunctional remote, while the 
ZR12 DMX has added DMX input for extra flexibility and control. These individual command features allow you 
to equip yourself with the right tool for the right job. 
The ZR12 DMX can be programmed into any DMX controller and easily incorporated into any light show design. 
Additionally, the DMX interface features a test fire button that enables operation without the DMX connection. 
The ZR12 AL provides an economical solution with a built in remote for easy command access. 
The ZR12 AL and ZR12 DMX are extremely quick to heat up, meaning greater control of fog when you want it. 
Both the ZR12 AL and ZR12 DMX are suited for a wide variety of applications. From rental to theatres, TV 
studios and clubs. 
You can use either control option in either machine for greater flexibility of use. (ZR12 AL controller in ZR12 
DMX machine and vice versa). 
Create a greater accuracy of fog placement with the ZR ducting system. Available as an accessory to the whole 
ZR family, the ducting extension ensures uniformity and coverage in any environment. 
 
“The ZR12 AL is the result of classical Jem design principles. Electronic pump ramping provides continuous and 
even fog output. Soft start electronics gives a low level of operating noise, ideal for TV and theatre 
environments. Overheat protection is provided by the Direct Thermal Protection device. Output has been 
enhanced through a 1000W vaporizing chamber and unlike other machines of its size; the ZR12 AL is 
extremely quick to heat-up meaning greater control of fog when you want it.  
Jem’s unique "8 x Mode" expands the time capability of the standard timer settings by multiples of 8, far beyond 
those normally found on fog machine remotes. 
And uniquely for a machine of its class, multiple machines can be linked and operated from the multifunctional 
remote control. Auto timer and fog level controls are available as well.” 
 
“The machine includes all the same features as the ZR12 AL yet has added DMX input via a specially designed 
on-board interface for extra flexibility and control.  
The ZR12 DMX can be programmed into any DMX controller and easily incorporated into any light show design. 
Additionally the DMX interface features a test fire button that enables operation without the DMX connection.  
The ZR12 DMX is the result of classical Jem design principles. Electronic pump ramping provides continuous 
and even fog output. Soft start electronics gives a low level of operating noise, ideal for TV and theatre 
environments and for ultimate flexibility multiple machines can be operated from a single remote.  
Overheat protection is provided by the Direct Thermal Protection device. Output has been enhanced through a 
1000W vaporizing chamber and unlike other machines of its size; the ZR12 DMX is extremely quick to heat-up 
meaning greater control of fog when you want it.”
