Quick Start
You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot of
haze. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time
to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual.
Setting up
Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the haze
output.
Fill the fluid tank with 3.8 litres of Martin R365 Haze Fluid™ only.
Use of other
fluid will void the warranty.
Connect the gas line from the CO
2
cylinder using the push fit connector on the
rear panel. Connect the regulator to the cylinder ensuring the plastic washer on
the regulator is in place and tighten using a suitable spanner. Fully turn on the
gas valve at the cylinder. No gas adjustment is required to vary the output of the
machine. See page 11 for more information.
Connect a suitably rated power supply to the machine using the supplied Neutrik
Powercon cable. The power requirements are 3.1A @ 230V (EU model) or 6.2A
@ 120V (US model).
Now turn on the mains switch at the rear of the machine. The display will show
HEAT, then after about 5-6 minutes the machine will reach operating
temperature. If the display shows OFF, press the RUN button to the right of the
display.
Making haze
If the machine does not automatically start making haze, press the RUN quick
access button to the right of the display. Press RUN again to stop the haze.
If you want to change the haze density, press the Menu < > buttons until the
display shows HAZE, then press the Enter button and use the Value up/down
buttons to select a value above 0%.
You can also adjust the fan speed using the FAN menu.
If no haze is produced it may be necessary to prime the machine,
press the Menu <> buttons until the display shows PRME, then
press the Value Up button so the display shows Y, then press the
Enter button.
Switching off
The Ready 365 is designed to run a self-cleaning cycle after power down to help
prevent blockages. It uses an internal rechargeable battery to do this.
If cleaning is needed, when the power is disconnected the display will show
“WAIT”, then “WAIT 89” counting down to “WAIT 00” will scroll across the
display. The unit will then automatically power down.
If the unit is not to be used for some time, turn off the valve on the CO
2
cylinder.
