1)       The Stage Fogger DMX must only be connected to a grounded mains supply
capable of sustaining at  least 15 Amps. The supply should be ‘clean’ and free of interfer-
ence.

2)       

Open a  container of Le Maitre fog fluid , remove cap and break foil seal (if provided).

Remove Cap from  Stage Fogger DMX fluid  resevoir. Fill with fluid, being careful not to
overfill resevoir. Replace both caps securely.

3)     Connect the remote handset supplied with the machine, to the connector which is
located on the rear panel.

4)

       

Activate the 

 Mains On

 switch located on the rear panel. The Mains On switch will

illuminate to indicate the presence of  power,  the 

 handset

  indicator on the remote

handset will also illuminate (or slow flash on startup).  If the handset indicator of the
remote handset does not illuminate, ensure the connector is properly inserted.

5)      The 

 handset 

indicator will flash slowly as the machine heats up.  The indicator will

begin flashing quickly  when the fog machine is ready to operate. Fog is available at this
point, but  full fog output will not be available.  After approximately 9 minutes the
indicator will be solid when the fog machine has fully heated and is ready for use at full
fog output if required.

6)       It may now be necessary to 

 prime 

fluid into the system to expel any air that might

be present. The 

 Variflow

 control on the remote handset should be set to Full position.  A

dry hose can take between 45 - 60 seconds to prime.  This is normal because of the inside
diameter of the hose.  This only needs to be done if the unit was left to run dry.

7)       Activating  the  

Smoke

 switch will effect a pulsing fluid flow which will  Prime the

machine correctly. Once Primed (when there is no more sporadic output) the controls on the
remote handset can be set as desired.

Industrial Option Only!

To adjust the depth of the hose, simply loosen Nut ‘A’ and slide it up or down the hose and
retighten.  Be careful not to pinch off the flow of fluid.

Operating Procedure

In order to prime the fog machine, the

handset indicator must be a solid red.
