7. Troubleshooting
The fog machine
does not produce low fog:
• Cooling chamber will not get cool enough
– CO
2
tank is empty or the pressure is too low
– CO
2
tube too long or too warm (no liquid CO
2
reach the machine)
The fog machine
does not fog:
– Check external control signals
– Check mains supply
– Check fluid tank (empty?)
– Check for correct connections at the fluid bottle
– Check for fluid in the fluid tube
– Check if fluid filter is clogged
– Check that pump setting on the machine is >1
The fog machine
fogs uncontrollably:
– Check mains supply
– Check unit for moisture (moisture inside the machine, especially on the PCB
can cause fogging)
The fog machine
switches off suddenly:
• The “temperature cutout“ has switched off due to overheating.
Remove external heat source (for instance projector shining right onto the
housing) and/or make sure sufficient fresh air supply. After 15 to 30 minutes
the unit should switch back to “on“ again.
Loud droning sound
during fogging:
• The pump is running dry.
Avoid this absolutely!
– Refill (or better: replace) fluid bottle
– Double check connection fluid tube and fluid bottle.
