NOTE: When external units are used for control of mains power, make sure that:
•
No dimmer packs are used. The machine must be supplied with no (off) or full (on) mains
voltage. Starting and stopping the machine is ALWAYS done with DMX 512 or manual
on/off by using the “OK” button. On/off cannot be controlled by switching the mains power
on/off.
•
Fluctuating voltage or frequency will damage the machine.
6.3 Fluids:
All Swefog Ultimate machines have been developed and designed to work with Swefog
Ultimate mineral-oil based fluids. If original fluid is used and regular maintenance is performed,
the machine will work well for many years.
Swefog Technology Group AB have not performed tests with the Ultimate hazers with any
other fluids than the original types, therefore no guarantee can be issued regarding
performance, health hazards, residues, component damage/wear outs or other disturbances
or inconveniences related to non-original fluids.
Many fluids may look the same at first sight, but the truth is that no fluids are identical. There is
a significant risk of internal parts and materials being affected, especially parts made with
plastics and rubber.
Swefog original fluids are made with a special, medical-grade white mineral oil, with a viscosity
especially developed to perform well with the small nozzles and low air pressure used in the
Ultimate hazer series. The oils used during the manufacturing process are also filtered several
times to ensure an extremely clean fluid. Swefog Ultimate fluids are of medical grade, which is
the finest oil quality available. Medical grade oils, which is a quality grade far better than “food
grade” or “technical grade”, is also used in manufacturing of medicals and similar processes
with extremely high demands on purity & cleanliness.
In a cracker hazer, like the Ultimate series, the oil fluid is processed, “cracked” to extremely
small particles with the use of several spray nozzles. The haze is filtered and let out without
any kinds of chemical changes, and made without the use of heat, which is the case in an
ordinary smoke or haze machine
.
This means, that the characteristics of the fluid used is
VERY important for the end result, such as: haze quality, separation, loss/absorption of light
illumination power, smell/odour, hang time, dew time, health hazards, exposure levels,
exposure time limits for actors and personnel etc.
Bear in mind, low-cost fluids will never give you the same performance and quality as the
original product, the fluid your machine was designed to be used with.
Swefog Ultimate 2000 DMX has an extremely low fluid consumption, only 0,05 litre (0,01 U.S.
gal) per hour at continuous operation at full output. A 5L (1,3 U.S. gal) canister will last for
approximately 80 hours of continuous operation at full output.
Always use ORIGINAL fluid, to ensure the highest performance and a SAFE operation.
Problems related to non-original fluids are NOT covered by Swefog’s 2-year warranty.
