Setup and operation
1. Unpack your unit then remove the tank.
2. Unscrew the top cap of the tank.
3. Fill the tank with haze/smoke fluid (do not over fill the tank).
4. Screw on the cap securely. Replace the tank into the unit.
5. Check that the pipe is fed down towards the bottom of the bottle so that a consistent flow of fluid is supplied to the machine.
6. Connect the timer remote to the rear of the unit.
7. Connect the IEC mains cable to the rear of the unit and then to the mains power. Turn the unit on using the Power on button.
8. Heat up time is usually between 3-4 minutes. Please ensure no button is pressed during the heat up time.
9. When the machine is ready the LED light on the remote control will illuminate.
10. Turn the output to Max and press the green button on the remote control for 5 seconds so the fluid has a chance to flow through
the heater block making it ready to use.
11. After completing the above, adjust the settings on the unit to find the output level you desire.
The Manual fog button on the rear of the unit has priority over the controls on the Timer remote. To use the Timer remote control
functions, you will need to release the Manual fog button on the rear of the unit.
Fan speed control & fog/haze
The unit features a manually adjustable fan to regulate the amount of fog/haze. At it’s heart, the unit is a haze machine that can also
produce fog effects. As a general rule, if you need to produce
both
fog and haze effects, it is best to use
haze fluid
in the unit. By
using haze fluid, both effects can be created. If you wish to
exclusively
produce fog effects, smoke fluid can used in the unit. When
alternating between the two different types of fluid,
always
run the maintenance routines to clean the unit. These are described later
in this instruction manual.
To run the unit as a simple haze machine, simply set the unit’s output level so that it generates the amount of haze you require and
then use a higher fan speed to disperse the effect thoroughly and evenly.
To create fog effects from the unit you will need to reduce the fan speed, this then lessens the dispersment of the effect and allows
the fog to gather in a denser grouping.
Fan speed is increased by clockwise rotation of the Fan speed regulator on the rear of the unit and decreased when turning the knob
anti-clockwise. The fan speed cannot be controlled using the Timer remote.
Timer remote control mode
You can adjust the interval gap between each release (between 0-30 mins approx) using the Timer remote interval adjust knob (9.)
You can adjust the duration the effect is released at each interval (between 0-15 seconds approx) using the Timer remote duration
adjust knob (10.)
For best results select “continuous” and adjust output to achieve desired effect, note: it can take around 30 seconds for the machine
to produce the correct output.
Fuse Replacement:
Unplug the IEC power cable before replacing the fuse! Always replace with same type of fuse.
1. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the fuse holder from the IEC housing.
2. Remove the bad fuse from the fuse holder.
3. Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder.
4. Install the fuse holder in the IEC housing.
Mounting :
Orientation:
This fixture should only be mounted/used on a flat surface. This fixture should not be tilted.
Rigging:
It is important never to obstruct the vents’ pathways. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp.
When selecting installation location, take into consideration the fluid reservoir access and routine maintenance.
Safety cables must always be used, utilising the provided safety eye bolt.
Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
General maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimise wear, the item should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are
contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned after use to avoid dust build-
up and blockages, which can result in poor performance, overheating and breakages. Be sure to uplug the unit from the mains
before
conducting any maintenance. Use a vacuum and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal
components. Clean the external case when the unit has
completely
cooled down with a dry cloth or tissue.
