Rotate the Fog Off Knob to adjust the period of time that the machine waits before starting to
produce fog again. The numeric settings on the timer knobs are relative settings and do not correspond
to specific seconds or minutes. See the table below for an approximation of the time duration corre-
sponding to each tic on the knob.
The machine will cycle on and off indefinitely until the Timer Button is turned off. If the Fog Button is
pressed while in Timer mode, this will override any timer settings and the machine will produce fog.
When the Fog Button is disengaged, the timer settings resume, continuing its On/Off cycle as if
not interrupted.
Using DMX Control
The Vapour can be operated using DMX control from a lighting console or other DMX device. Only one
channel of DMX control is required.
Connecting the DMX
Connect the Vapour to your DMX chain by inserting a 5-Pin XLR DMX cable into the DMX-IN socket
located on the DMX Panel. A DMX-OUT port allows additional DMX devices to be added to the chain
downstream of the machine. Note: The Vapour is not a self-terminating device; a DMX terminator should be
used in the DMX-OUT port when the unit is the last device in the chain.
It is not necessary to have the Remote Control Panel attached when controlling the machine via DMX.
However, if no Remote Control Panel is attached, and no DMX signal is present, the machine will not heat
up. It is not necessary to send a command via DMX to start the heating process. Once a valid DMX signal
from an appropriate DMX control device is detected, the Vapour will begin its heating process.
Setting the DMX Address
The Vapour uses one channel of DMX. To set the starting DMX address of the machine, press either the UP
or DOWN arrow on the DMX panel to activate the display. Then, press the UP or DOWN Button again to
change the value until the desired address is displayed. Holding down the UP or DOWN Button will rapidly
scroll the values in the direction desired. Press the “Set” Button to store the address. The address you set
will be remembered after the unit has been switched off. The machine has now been assigned the DMX
address you have selected.
DMX Operation
The channel assigned (based on DMX address) is the Output Volume control, which controls the pump
speed. The table below indicates the output level at various DMX values.
