Make the DMX connections as follows:
1) Connect the DMX input (9) to the DMX output of the
DMX controller.
2) Connect the DMX output (7) to the DMX input of the
following DMX-controlled unit. Connect its output to
the input of the following unit etc. until all DMX-con-
trolled units have been connected in a chain.
The jack OUT (7) has a latching. To remove the
plug, press the PUSH lever.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX-con-
trolled unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor
(> 0.3 W): Solder the resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of
an XLR plug and connect the plug to the DMX out-
put or use a corresponding terminating plug (e. g.
DLT-123 from “img Stage Line”).
7.2 Adjusting the DMX address
The fog machine reserves one channel on the DMX
controller. To allow activation of the fog machine, it
must be adjusted to the address provided for it on the
controller (e. g. address 1 if it is controlled via channel
1 of the controller or address 7 if it is controlled via
channel 7 of the controller).
The address is adjusted via the DIP switches (10)
as a binary number. The address will result when
adding the place values (marked “1 ... 256”) of the DIP
switches set to “ON”, e. g.:
The easiest way is to start from the highest possible
place value and to add the smaller values until the
address results.

Operation
1) Connect the fog machine via the mains cable (6) to
a mains socket (230 V~/50 Hz).
2) Prior to switching on the fog machine, check the
fluid level of the tank and fill up fog fluid, if required
(
chapter 4).
3) Switch on the unit with the POWER switch (3): the
switch will light up. The fog machine will heat up for
approx. 4 minutes. While the unit is heating up, fog
output will not be possible yet.
4) Once the heating process is completed, fog output
will be possible, either via remote control or via
DMX control (
chapter 8.1 or 8.2).
5) After operation, switch off the fog machine with the
POWER switch (3).
Before transporting the unit, it must cool down
and the tank must be completely empty!
Note: Due to residual fluid in the fog machine, the unit
may still emit some fog after a fog output or after
switching off.
8.1 Operation via the remote control
Once the green LED (17) lights up, the heating
process of the fog machine is completed: The unit is
ready to emit fog.
8.1.1 Manual mode
To manually activate a fog output, press the green but-
ton MANUAL (19): While this button is kept pressed,
the unit will emit the maximum quantity of fog.
The manual mode will take priority over the continuous
mode and the timer mode, i. e. when the green button
is pressed, the unit will always emit the maximum
quantity of fog even if one of the other operating
modes is activated.

WARNING 1. The fog output nozzle will become
very hot. Never touch it during opera-
tion or shortly afterwards. Risk of
burns!
2. The unit must be operated by adults
only; never leave it unattended.
3. Never operate the fog machine with-
out fog fluid, otherwise there will be
a fire hazard due to overheating.
Besides, the unit may be damaged.
