Programing
If you now change the fan and temperature values, apply these
changes for all currently selected states.
If in the list of available sound slots sound slot 2 is also occupied,
but is marked in gray, this is no reason for concern. This means
that two sound channels for the shot of steam used will automa-
tically get a copy of the sound in slot 1 to be used in the steam
engine. You don’t need to set anything else on it.
6.1.3. Optimization of the function
For the last step, in the «smoke generator» here are more options
optimize the smoke generator. Figure 14 displays all the available
options.
Time to automatic switch-off: Here you can set whether the smo-
•
ke generator will automatically shut off after a predetermined
amount of time. Normally, a time of 10 minutes is recommended.
This prevents excessive current draw on an empty tank. When the
automatic shutdown is performed, the smoke generator will be
activated again by turning the power cycle on.
Adjusting the fan speed: Here, the fan speed will be changed rela-
•
tive to the values set in the sound sequencing.
Adaptation of the heating temperature: Here, the heating tem-
•
perature will be changed relative to the values set in the sound
sequencing.
Preheat for secondary smoke generators: If desired the smoke ge-
•
nerator can be pre-heated to ensure faster function. Note that this
preheating is always active when the smoke generator is switched
on and according to current needs.
Duration of the bursts of steam: Depending on the wheel diame-
•
ter and installation situation it may be that the bursts of steam are
too short. In this case, increase the value to get more powerful
bursts of steam. The duration is specified in relation to their dis-
tance in%. Therefore, a value of 50% ensures bursts of steam that
are half as long as their spacing.
Minimum duration of a steam burst: No matter how fast the
•
wheel pulses come, the minimum length of the steam burst can
never fall below the value set here.
Maximum steam burst: Here you can set the length limit of the
•
steam burst to the maximum set value.
