Before applying power verify that the voltage selector switch is set for the voltage to be applied. This switch is located
beneath the lower compartment lid. Hang securely or place the fan on the legs in a stable location.
Select the correct line cord for local conditions and connect to the fan. If the optional snow machine is used connect
it before powering the fan. Verify both ends of the fan are clear of possible obstructions and personal. Power on the
fan with care as it will start in the last mode it was used. Use the address switch buttons to select the desired setting.
If under DMX control the red valid DMX Led will be on if a signal is present. If the optional WDMX radio is used it will
light the blue Led when linked to a transmitter and the red DMX Led with show signal.
Note: Do not supply both wired and wireless DMX to the fan at the same time.
Snow Machine Option:
The snow machine option consists of 2 parts. The first part is the ring that attaches to the back side of the fan, this
is the directional flow end. The grill retaining screws are used to attach this ring. The second part of the option is the
blow box. This will have the air hose and fluid tube from the snow ring attached to the front end. A control cable
connects to the fan’s control box. The power for the blower connects to an appropriate power source.
Note: the
blower in the blow box is not dual voltage, so the appropriate voltage model must be purchased for the
power source being supplied.
The blower box can hold a 4 liter jug of fluid. If a pail is to be used the jug holder can
be removed. If the blower is to be hung an optional truss bracket will be required. If a pail is to be used there is also an
option truss mount for this purpose.
Snow will only be issued when the fan is in reverse direction, this prevents snow from being accidentally drawn into the
fan. The rate of snow is controlled to produce the desire flake size of snow. The high volume snow sock will need to be
cleaned regularly to maintain optimum performance. A lower volume sock is available that requires less cleaning. The
snow machine should be flushed with water for about 1 minute when not in use to prevent clogging lines and to rinse
the snow sock.
Local Mode Snow Operation:
1. Connect Blower box control cable to Turbo Fan
2. Plug Snow Blower box to appropriate power source and flip Mains power switch to ON
3. Set DMX address on Turbo Fan to 600 (Fan OFF / Snow fluid pump OFF) [Blower in box will turn ON after 5
seconds]
4. Adjust middle digit (10s column) on Turbo Fan (1- 9) to start fan in reverse at desired speed
5. Adjust far right digit (one’s column) on Turbo Fan (1-9) to start producing snow.
Note:
The air blower in the blow box will turn ON automatically after a few seconds when the Turbo fan is set to local
mode and connected to the blow box with the control cord. This is normal and will not produce any snow until the
control digits on the Turbo Fan display are in the valid range.
