Usage
Placing of the generator
Place the generator with the four rubber feet on a solid surface. Make sure that the smoke exit is
clear of obstruction. Objects should be at a minimum of 3 meters from the exit so as not to damage
any objects in front of the machine. The smoke is very warm when leaving the machine. On top of
that there’s a chance of smoke particles deposit when the machine is placed against objects.
Filling the Smoke Liquid tank
Fill the smoke liquid tank with LION smoke liquid. Never fill the tank to the brim. Make sure the level
stays at least under the neck of the tank. Use a funnel when filling the tank so as to avoid spillage.
Make sure the liquid doesn’t spill into the machine via the ventilation vents.
Warming up
Plug in the machine with the supplied electric cable. Flip the switch on the back of the generator to
turn it on. The LCD will turn on and display the status of the machine. During the warming up, it’s
not possible to use the smoke
generator. The “MODE” display will show the text “WARMING UP”.
Depending on the power and the ambient temperature, the generator will be warm enough to be used
about 5 to 10 minutes after turning it on. The “MODE” display will show the text “READY [A]” or
“READY [T]”.
Smoke production
The generator has various settings for smoke production:
-
Smoke
-
Continuous
-
Automatic program
-
Manual program
-
Delayed start of the program
-
Remote Control
-
Wireless remote Control
-
DMX-interface
The
SG4000™ produces “dry” smoke. LION smoke fluid consists of aerosols, tiny droplets of liquid
smoke. In principle, the amount of liquid smoke is spread in the room where smoke is made. If the
air is saturated, the smoke can condense and precipitate so good ventilation optimises the
effectiveness of the smoke. In normal conditions and when used in combination with LION Smoke
Liquid, there will be no significant residue.
Importance attention points for a safe and clean usage:
-
Stop the smoke production when the visibility is sufficiently obscured by smoke.
-
Limit the lack of visibility to 50cm
-
Ventilate the area sufficiently after an exercise
-
If natural ventilation isn’t possible, use a smoke/gas ventilator
-
Use a filter mask or oxygen when using higher concentrations of smoke
