VF1600
Description
The new VF1600 fog machine included a revolutionary new heat-
ing element that has been specially designed to prevent excessive
particle build up that can cause premature fogger failure. This fog
machine has a wide-angle spray nozzle and long-life pump that
was specially designed for high performance fogger output. The fog
machine also includes a remote control, that may be removed for
periods on non-use.

Set-Up
1. Open the shipping carton and carefully remove the unit from the
shipping carton.
2. Be sure to remove all the packing material especially around the
nozzle.
3. Set the fog machine on a flat dry surface. Locate the included
bracket from the package and install it using the supplied hard-
ware to the side casing. Note: The bracket is an optional accesso-
ry and may not be used if desired, however if you intend to sus-
pend the unit from truss the bracket must be used.
4. Fill the fog fluid reservoir with American DJ
brand fog juice only
and then tighten the cap.
5. Firmly attach the remote control unit to the rear remote control
socket on the unit.
6. Plug the unit in to a matching power supply. At this time the fluid
reservoir will glow red, this indicates that the unit is heating up.
Wait about eight minutes for the fogger to reach normal operating
temperature. When it has reached the temperature, the reservoir
will glow green.
7. Either press the remote button to emit fog, use the timer function
or use the manual button on the rear of the unit to emit fog. See
Timer Remote operation on the next page for operating instruc-
tions.

DMX Set Up
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-
512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX
fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,
these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.

DMX Mode:
The VF1600 has 1 DMX channel. Channel 1 is fog output.

traits with a standard DMX 512 controller.
2.
To run your fixture in DMX mode set the DMX address using the
dipswitches located on the rear panel of the unit.
3. After you have set your DMX address plug in the fixture via the
XLR connections to any standard DMX controller. Follow the set-
up specifications that come with your DMX controller.
