Operating Procedure
1. During use this machine generates condensation. After use the LSX should be drained via the drain valve.
CAUTION:
This may cause the floor to become very slippery. This may also inhibit the performance of the LSX unit.
2. This unit requires a 15 amp circuit to run properly. The use of any extension cords or shared circuit is strongly not
recommended.
3. To achieve optimum effect, it is essential that Ultratec Special Effect’s Molecular Fog Fluid is used in the LSX Low
Smoke Converter.
4. The LSX unit is controlled by a user-friendly panel. When the system switch is in the ‘On’ position and illuminated,
power is established to the LSX unit. A ‘green led’ is provided to indicate the compressor is operating.
5. An Automatic Reset Low Pressure Switch is provided as protection against compressor damage. If the Low Pressure
Switch has been activated the ‘Red’ LED will illuminate (the ‘Green’ LED will not be illuminated).
6. The Variable Fan Control regulates Fog Density Output. Some experimenting will produce various effects. An OFF
position is provided on this control. It is not recommended that this control be left in the off position as this will
eventually result in activation of the Low Pressure Switch and cause a freeze up condition.
Control Panel Operations
1. Fan Knob: this controls the speed of the lower fan.
Turning clockwise reduces the speed. Off is at the
counter clockwise end.
Note:
It is not recommended to leave the control left
in the ‘Off’ position or in a very low setting, the low
pressure switch may activate turning off the compressor.
2. Low Pressure Light: when lit, indicates that Low Pressure
Protection has been activated. The Low Pressure Switch
will automatically reset but may take 2 - 3 cycles to start,
unless a leak has occurred in the system.
3. Compressor Light: compressor is operating normal when
lit.
4. Power Switch: power is on when lit.
Note:
A cooler ambient temperature may result in
activation of Low Pressure Switch within a short period
of time after initial start up. To remedy this problem the
unit can be stored in a warm location, a “load” can be
put on the cooling chamber by introducing warm fog
into the unit just after start up, or by simply covering the
top of the unit to stop air flow.
