OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The MDG Fog Generators are quite easy to operate and require no preventive
maintenance. They are supplied with a removable remote control. A DMX Interface can
be bought as an option.
When the MAIN POWER (115 or 230Vac) and the MAIN POWER SWITCH is applied, the
generator is placed in stand-by mode. When in stand-by mode, most of the electronic
controls are off (except for the three types of fail-safe systems), waiting for the ON switch
on the remote control to be activated.
When the ON switch is pressed, the red LED indicating that the unit is working will light
up, as well as the yellow LED call HEAT, indicating the start of the heating cycle which will
last approximately 10 minutes. When the temperature reaches a pre-adjusted level called
the READY level (indicated by a green LED), the HEAT yellow LED will turn off. The
Automatic Purging System
TM
(APS
TM
) will be automatically initiated.
After the first purging cycle is completed (approx. time 30 to 60 sec.) the generator is
ready to produce fog. The amount of the fog / haze emission can be controlled by
adjusting the working pressure of the CO
2
gas regulator.
When an overheating condition is detected, or if the internal temperature reaches 60°C
(140°F), a safety circuit is triggered. This circuit removes the power to the heating
elements, preventing hazardous conditions.
When an under-heating condition occurs, the generator will stop producing fog until the
temperature of the heating module is back within parameters.
