OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

The  MDG  Low  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 
purchased as an option. 

When the MAIN POWER 115 or 230 VAC and the MAIN POWER SWITCH are 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 lit, as 
well as the yellow LED called 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  Generator  is  ready  to  produce  low  fog.  Adjusting  the  fog  output  adjustment  can 
control the amount of the low fog emission. 

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 

The FOG ON signal (green LED) can be applied to produce low fog for as long as the ready 
level is reached and all other control parameters are within specifications. 

The 100% Duty cycle is continuous with specified line voltage, and will degrade with line 
voltage loss. If that is the case, reducing maximum operating pressure can compensate it.
