Operation
♦
Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. If necessary, turn power switch on rear
of unit to “ON” position. Warm-up is complete when green lamp lights up on remote unit.
♦
To emit fog, press the appropriate button on the remote for the desired length of time.
♦
The remote unit’s lamp will cycle on and off as the machine re-heats to the proper
operating temperature.
♦
DANGER OF LEAKAGE! The water tank must regularly be drained.
♦
For further information on operating your ANTARI Fog Machine, see the section titled,
“Remote Control Operation”.
If your model includes a mounting bracket designed for overhead installation, it may be
installed at floor level or suspended overhead. If the unit is to be mounted using the bracket,
it is important that the fog does not shoot directly at any one’s face. Whatever installation
method you choose, do not allow the unit to have more than a 15 degree angle of inclination.
Important: Always monitor tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running a fog machine with
no fluid can permanently damage the unit.
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check fluid
level, the external fuse, remote connection, and power from the wall. If all of the above
appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If fog does not come out after holding the remote
button down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid
going through the hose. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not
simply continue pushing the remote button, as this may damage the unit. Return the
machine to your ANTARI dealer.
Remote Control Operation:
♦
FC-2: 10 meter wired multi-function remote controller with 5-pin XLR connector for the
ANTARI Low Fog Machine. Its three knobs allow the operator to customize fog machine
functions by adjusting fogging duration, interval and volume. Press the yellow TIMERS
button to activate the timer function. Adjust the interval between each fog emission (within
the range of 10 seconds to 5 minutes) by means of the INTERVAL control knob. Adjust
the duration of each fog emission (within the range of 1 to 10 seconds) by means of the
DURATION control knob. When pressed, the green MANUAL button overrides all other
function controls, and activates maximum output. Press the red CONTINUOUS button for
continuous output. Adjust output volume with the OUTPUT knob.
♦
FC-3: Wireless remote controller with 5-pin XLR connector for ANTARI Low Fog
Machine. Attach the receiver’s magnetic base to the fog machine. Plug the receiver’s
cable into the fog machine’s socket. Using the sending unit, your ANTARI Fog Machine
can be operated from a distance of up to 50 meters. Dip switches inside the receiver can
be configured to allow control of up to three ANTARI Fog Machines. By means of the dip
switches, adjust the receiver on each fog machine to a different transmission frequency.
The first three buttons on the sending unit allow the operator to independently control each
fog machine, while the fourth button enables simultaneous control of all three machines.
Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly parts
replacement and repair charges.
