1. Introduction

The 

Cobra 3.1

 is a powerful fog generator, that sets new Standards concerning noise 

and handling.

With its novel nozzle, that can be unscrewed and cleaned as needed, the machine is 

very silent - the noise level at full output is 82.5 dBA (in comparison: the Viper 2.6 with 
2600 Watt generates 100.5 dBA at full output.)

The use of two pumps ensures a very constant fog output at any pump level.

The Touchscreen makes the handling of the 

Cobra 3.1

 easy and intuitive. Beside the 

analogue and DMX 512 control, the machine can also be operated via Ethernet (Artnet 
and sACN). 

The machine is equipped with the following RDM-features:
—  Status: Ready, Re-heating, Error messages (E-1, E-2 etc)
— DMX-Patch
—  Temperature: Heating element, PCB
—  Adjusting the Personality
—  General Informations about the machine

Furthermore, the 

Cobra 3.1

 has an internal working hours counter, that saves heating 

and fogging durations. 

A Firmware update can be made by the customer.

The machine is supplied with a duct adaptor that also functions as a protection 

against contact.

Please read the manual carefully before starting the device to ensure a correct 

operation!
