Set Initial Air/Water Ratio (FIG 5) 

1. Set AIR to 7.

2. Set WATER to 2.

3. NOTE: We have found this to be the ratio that works best 

to create a full e

ect plume with little or no water 

collecting on the surrounding area.  

Connect air/water supply (FIG 6) 

1. Prime the Water supply hose by allowing water to 

flow freely thus bleeding the air from the water line.  

2. Align the notch on the air/water connector of the 

supplied adaptor to the notch on the air/water 
connector of the 8b.

3. Firmly seat the connectors until they click, and lock 

into place.

4. Air supplied to the unit should be dry and free from air 

compressor condensation.

5. NOTE: 

Do not cross the streams! 

Air and water 

supply must not be reversed, this may cause 
irreparable damage to the 8b unit.

6. NOTE: The supplied air should be set to 50psi. 

(50-70psi is acceptable).

7. NOTE: The supplied water should be a nominal sink 

tap pressure, free from debris, and can be any potable water. Water line should 
have a fine mesh filter to keep debris out of the  8b.

Power the lighting fixture 

1. Power the lighting fixture per console manufacturer’s instructions.

2. NOTE:  the 8b should be attached to an outdoor rated LED fixture. Conventional 

lighting fixtures may heat up and damage the hoses.
