Using Multi-Link
In some instances, it may be preferable to control and synchronize multiple machines from a single
Remote Control Panel. This can be quickly and easily accomplished using the V-Hazer’s built-in Multi-
Link capabilities. Up to four Rosco V-Hazer’s can be connected and controlled via a single controller.
Connect a 3-pin XLR cable (not included) to the Multi-Link port on the rear of the first machine in the
daisy chain. This unit becomes the “Head Machine” and its Remote Control Panel will control the other
units in the chain.
Remove and detach the Remote Control Panel and its 3-pin XLR cable from the second machine.
Connect the plug of the cable from the Head Machine into the remote port of the second machine
where the Remote Control Panel had previously been connected.
Repeat this process to connect a third and/or fourth machine. No additional set-up is required. The
Remote Control Panel attached to the head machine will operate all machines in the Multi-Link as if they
are the same.
Note: The maximum length of the daisy chain, from the remote of the Head Machine to the final machine is
165 feet (50 m).
Note: It is possible to use the Remote Control Panel even when the machine is set up and addressed for DMX
Operation. In the event that the machine is given conflicting commands from the Remote and from a DMX
console, the machine observes “highest takes precedence” logic. For example, if the Remote Control Panel is set
at 50% and the DMX channel is brought up to 65% - the higher-level DMX signal will take precedence over the
lower-level remote signal.
Changing Fluid
The V-Hazer consumes 0.9 litres of fluid per hour at its maximum rate. When the fluid in the bottle has
been depleted enough that the tube can no longer stay submerged, it is time to change fluid bottles.
It is recommended that you stop making haze when changing fluid bottles. Once haze production has
halted, simply unscrew the fluid tube cap from the empty bottle and remove the tube. Take care to
avoid dripping fluid onto the machine or onto the floor nearby, as it can be slippery. Replace the empty
bottle with a new bottle of Rosco V-Hazer Fluid, insert the fluid tube insuring that the filter at the end of
the tube is fully submerged, and reattach the fluid cap. Resume making haze.
