Installation and setting up
DANGER! DO NOT operate the Magnum smoke machine 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 Magnum smoke machine should be located on the floor or a suitably robust
surface.
The machine can operate in any orientation from 45 degrees upwards to 45
degrees downwards. Steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage.
Do not suspend the machine over areas where people will be underneath.
Ensure that there is at least 100mm clearance all round the machine and at least
600mm in front of the smoke output.
A C p o w e r
Before using the machine, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug
that fits the local power outlets is installed on the power cable.
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated:
• For EU (230V) use fit a plug rated 6 amp minimum
• US (120V) models must be fitted with a plug rated 10 amp minimum
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 Magnum smoke machine to power, verify that the AC
supply is adequately dimensioned for the current draw of the machine. The
machine requires:
Magnum 650: 2.66A at 230V (EU) or 6.1A at 120V (US)
Magnum 850: 3.4A at 230V (EU) or 6.6A at 120V (US)
Check that the local AC voltage is appropriate, as indicated on the machine’s
serial number label. If your AC voltage is outside the appropriate range, do not
use the machine. Contact Martin Service for assistance.
