7. DMX setting
The model use 1 channel to control on/off operation. If this channel has a value from 0 to 18, the unit is off.
Betwen the values 129 and 255 the volume of fog output is at maximum.

8. Performance Notes
All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some moisture accumulation on the surface
below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing your unit.
All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so after being turned off.
All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself down for a short period in order to heat up
again. During this time no fog can be produced.
9. Maintenance
Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the fog liquid container and the fog machine liquid tank
immediately after filling. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended to run a cleaning solution composed of 80%
distilled water and 20% ACETIC ACID through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning regimen is as follows:
1. Empty all fog liquid from the machine. Add cleaning solution to tank. Plug unit in and begin warm up.
. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
3. Cleaning is now complete. Refill with fog liquid. Run the machine briefly to clear any cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
. Do not operate the fog machine without liquid at any time.
Note:
All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes.
However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use.
Clean with a dry cloth only. Store dry.
Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.
10. Storage
1.
When storing run distilled water (not tap water) through the system as described in the cleaning regimen above. This will help avoid
any particles condensing inside the pump or heater.
2.
It is strongly recommended to test-run the machine on a monthly basis in order to achieve its best fogging condition. A test-run
consists of warming up the machine followed by a few minutes of emission. After that, follow Step 1 under Storage.
