Ensure the safety of yourself and your audience - NEVER simply switch off a smoke detector or alarm
system!
Parts and repair
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. All inspections and overall
maintenance should be done by a specialist.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the exterior of this device monthly with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that the device
is unplugged before cleaning it.
Check if all the screws are intact and secured and tighten or replace them where needed. Check all metal
parts of the device for any signs of corrosion. If corrosion is found, then the device needs to be checked
thoroughly.
Using the smoke machine with DMX
It is possible to operate this smoke machine via DMX. Plug it directly into a DMX controller or place it in a
daisy chain of DMX-controlled lighting effects. Determine the start channel by using dip switches to indicate
the start address.
For instance, if you choose DMX channel 27 as the start channel, then the machine will follow all commands
assigned to channel 27.
Set the start channel using dip switches. Add the values of the selected dip switches together to determine
the start channel.
For example, when dip switches 1 and 5 are set to 'ON', this forms the mathematical equation 1 + 16 = 17.
This means the machine will react to commands assigned to channel 17. By combining different dip
switches, you can create countless combinations that range from channel 1 to 511.
Connect DMX by plugging standard XLR cables into the 3-pin inputs and outputs on the machine.
Using the wireless remote control
The wireless remote control makes use of a radiographic FM signal and is therefore not direction-sensitive. It
has a range of approximately 30 metres around the machine.
The connection between the remote control and the receiver is not protected or adjustable, which means
multiple WSM Black machines can be operated with one remote control. This also means that someone with
another remote control on the same frequency band may inadvertently trigger the machine.
For best results while using the remote control, it is recommended to fully extend the antenna.
When you press one of the two buttons on the keychain remote control, a red LED will light up to indicate a
signal is being transmitted. If the LED does not light up and the smoke machine does not react, then this is
usually solved by replacing the battery.
The remote controls in the WSM Black series come with a standard L1028 / LR22A battery. To replace the
battery, remove the rear panel of the remote control with a mini Philips screwdriver.
Always replace the battery with a battery of the same format and type/model. Pay attention to the polarity
when replacing the battery.
After replacing the battery, close the compartment lid and tighten the screw.
During transport, a cover slides over the remote control to protect the buttons and prevent it from transmitting
a signal inadvertently.
Using the wired timer/remote control
The WSM Black 02 and 03 both come with a wired timer/remote that gives you control over various settings.
