INTRODUCTION:

HZ-3 Haze Machine

The HZ-3 haze machine features a range of upgrades to ensure it remains the top haze machine in its class. An improved 700W heater ensures all fluid is vaporized quickly as well as decreasing the warm-up time. The LED digital display allows for standalone operation whilst still allowing for the use of a timer remote or 2 channel DMX operation. There is a fluid level sensor that indicates when the machine needs refilling so as not to damage the pump. This product has been specifically developed for professional installations and high-end DJ applications.

• 2,400 CU Ft (68m³) per minute (approx.)
• Relay temperature controlled for constant temperature control and longer life
• Uniquely designed nozzle for reduced condensation build-up in the pipes
• Easy to use digital display operation
• True constant haze output
• Variable output angle
• Low fluid indicator
• Removable fluid tank
• Timer output remote control included
• Easy to transport and portable

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

If the unit is not functioning properly

• Check if the main power is on
• Check the fuse hasn’t blown
• Check the unit isn’t in DMX mode
• Check there is fluid in the tank and the pipe is pushed down to the bottom of the bottle
• If there is blockage use distilled water or haze machine cleaning fluid

REPLACING FUSE

Disconnect from the main power supply first, then remove the fuse holder above the IEC Socket to reveal the fuse. Replace the correct fuse rating as stated in the lighting or user guide. Then, lock the fuse holder cover back into place.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the item should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a rule, fixtures should be cleaned after use to avoid dust build-up and blockages, which can result in poor performances, overheating, and breakages. Be sure to power off the fixture before conducting maintenance.

Unplug the fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal components. Clean the external case when the fixture is cold with a dry cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside case.
