DESCRIPTION 

The 

eMINI

 fogger was designed with safety and reliability in mind. It is capable of generating pure white, 

non-toxic fog for as long as you have fluid (100% duty cycles).  

The 

eMINI

 is a variable output fogger capable of generating large volume of dense fog in a short period of 

time. This fogger must be used in a well-ventilated area. 

At the heart of the 

MDG fogger

 is an electronic assembly that keeps the heat exchanger(s) at a very stable 

temperature, with three different types of fail-safe systems. Those three types of electronic fail-safe systems 
are designed to protect against over and under-heating conditions and against component failure. When 
an overheating condition is detected, or if the internal temperature of the fogger 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 fogger will stop producing fog until the temperature of the 
heating module is back within parameters. 

The temperature of the heat exchanger is maintained within a narrow margin. If an error occurs (see FAIL 
State), the fogger will automatically shut down. When one of the safety systems is activated, the Fail state 
will be displayed on the LCD, in the Status Menu. Check the 

FAIL State

 and 

Troubleshooting

 paragraphs 

for diagnostics, then shut down the main power switch, wait 30 seconds, and then switch the fogger back 
on. If the failure persists, send your fogger back to an authorized service center for verification. 

When « Fog On » mode is activated (DMX or Control Menu), the MDG 

eMINI

 fogger will produce fog for 

as long as the ready level is reached (temperature) and all other control parameters are within specifications. 

Never remove the power to a fogger while it is producing fog 

 See the 

Shut down procedure.

 

 

 

WARNING

  

 

When not in use, 

ALWAYS

 switch off the power switch located on the back panel and 

disconnect the AC line

 

Never install above people. 

 

This 

eMINI

  fogger  must  be  installed  in  an  upright  position  on  a  stable  and  leveled 

surface. 

 

Use in a well-ventilated area. 

 

Do not operate at less than 2 meters (6.5 ft.) from people.
