1. Introduction

The Hazer² is a latest generation haze generator. It offers a variety of possibilities to show your light effects even better.

The Hazer² is used to generate haze. Thus, the atmospheric effect can be created, which is necessary for an appealing light show.

Due to the adjustability of pump power, fan speed and blow-out angle, almost any desired haze density can be generated.

A newly developed vegan, highly concentrated fluid is used. This produces the finest droplets with maximum lifetime in the air.

The extremely quiet and adjustable fan allow the use in areas where ambient noise is disturbing.

The Hazer² also offers several control options. In addition to the direct operation at the device by means of a membrane keypad, the haze generator can be controlled via DMX512/RDM, as well as via wired and wireless remote controls (optionally available).

The 1 liter fluid bottle lasts from approximately 80 hours at minimum settings to 5 hours at maximum output.

The Hazer²’s directly heated vaporizer is up to operating temperature in less than 10 seconds and requires only 350W despite
extremely high output.

It´s wide range input (100V-240V AC) allows it to be used anywhere in the world.

2. safety instructions

Very hot steam escapes from the mist outlet. Caution: Danger of burns!
During the fogging process, very hot fluid droplets may occasionally escape from the fog outlet opening. Therefore, there must be no persons or heat sensitive objects within a distance of 1.5 m from the fog outlet opening.
Never handle the mist outlet opening during operation or when it is activated.
The device must be set up in a place that is not sensitive to heat. Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm from flammable, combustible and heat-sensitive objects.
The fog fluid used contains glycerine, which burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible flame. Therefore, never mist into strong ignition sources such as open fires.
Never open the device connected to a power source.
During operation, sporadic leakage of hot fluid droplets is possible. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that these cannot become a hazard to people. Keep a safety distance of 3m to the fog outlet nozzle.
Do not ingest the fog fluid and keep it away from children. In case of eye contact, rinse with plenty of water. In case of accidental ingestion, consult a physician.
Spilled or splashed fluid may cause slipping hazard. Absorb fluid and dispose of as directed.
Do not allow visibility to drop below 2m, you are responsible for persons moving in the fogged area.
The generated fog may set off smoke detectors.

The method used here to generate artificial fog is largely harmless and is used worldwide in the entertainment sector. We are not aware of any case in which a healthy person has been harmed by the use of this artificial fog. Nevertheless, we recommend that people who are ill or have previous respiratory damage or a tendency to allergies avoid contact with artificial fog!

Re-insert the plug-in nozzle into the tank cap.

4.3 Air baffle

The Hazer² is equipped with a swivelling air baffle. This can be used to adjust the angle of the discharge direction. For transport, the air baffle can be folded shut and is held in place by magnets.
The Hazer² may only be operated with the air baffle open.

5. haze fluid

Please use only the original base*V Fluid for the Hazer².

6. Working with the Hazer²

The Hazer² is a latest generation haze generator. It can be used to generate anything from the finest haze to a fog-like effect. The effect can only build up slowly. Therefore, you should switch on the device some time before use. Please ensure that no objects are placed either at the air inlet or at the outlet so that a free so that free circulation is possible. The air baffle must also be open. After plugging in the power plug, the main menu appears. The machine does not heat up yet, as this takes less than ten seconds and only takes place if required.

6.1 Control panel of the hazer²

hazebase Hazer² - the Cube Instruction Manual - Control panel of the
hazer

The Hazer² is operated via the four push buttons (menu, minus, plus, confirmation) and the OLED display. The menu fields are located in the corners of the display, and the value field in the center, which displays the value of the selected menu field. The menu key is used to select the individual menus counterclokwise. With the help of the plus and minus keys, the corresponding value can then be changed and then saved with the confirmation key.

On the left and right side of the screen, the white bars indicates whether the heater is activated. In the switch-off process, these bars become smaller and smaller until finally the heater and the air pump are deactivated. This evaporates any fluid drops still in the heating element.

6.2 Operation in the stand-alone mode

The simplest case of control is the stand-alone mode. For this, the pump value is set to the desired value and the confirmation key is pressed. The heating element is heated up and the haze process starts after a few seconds as soon as the correct temperature is reached.
The pump value can also be changed during the haze process.
Pressing the confirmation key again stops the haze process again.
The same applies to the setting of the fan value.

6.3 Operation via DMX512/RDM

When operating via DMX512, the XLR input must first be set to DMX (see chapter Options).

As shown, “DMX” appears in the upper right menu field. The DMX address can be changed with the plus and minus keys and must be stored afterwards with the confirmation key.

If a valid DMX signal is present, this is indicated at the top center with “active”. The currently read pump value can be displayed by selecting the pump menu item. If the received value is greater than zero, the Hazer² starts the haze process and stops it accordingly at the value zero.

The Hazer² has two DMX channels. Channel 1 is assigned to the pump, channel 2 sets the fan speed.
Via RDM the Hazer² is configurable (DMX address) as well as readable (error or temperature data). Furthermore, a firmware update can be done via this RDM input.

6.4 Operation via cable remote (option)

When operating via the cable remote, the XLR input must first be set to Remote (see chapter Options). After plugging in the cable remote control, the Hazer² automatically recognizes that an analog cable remote control has been plugged in. On the cable remote control there is a power switch and a potentiometer for setting the pump value. The fan speed must still be set on the device.

6.5 Operation via radio remote (option)

When operating via radio remote control, the XLR input must first be set to Remote (see chapter Options). After plugging in the radio remote control, the Hazer² automatically recognizes that a radio remote control has been plugged in.

Up to 60 different radio remote transmitters can be programmed on the machine. For this purpose, the “Remote” submenu must first be selected.
In the Remote submenu, the menu fields are replaced. At the top left, the channel (key on the hand-held transmitter) can be selected. At the bottom left, a new radio remote transmitter is taught-in and at the bottom right, the taught-in hand-held transmitters are deleted again. A new hand-held transmitter is taught as follows. First select the menu item add and confirm this with the confirmation key. ,,Adding” now appears at the bottom left. The machine now waits for a valid radio signal. To do this, press any key on the handheld transmitter. The teach-in process is now complete and “add” appears again at the bottom left. You can then select the key and save it. To delete the already taught-in handheld transmitters, select the menu item “del” and confirm it. At the bottom right, “deleting” now appears. The deleting process is now in progress. The display changes back to “del” after a successful deleting process.
To exit the submenu, the menu item “exit” must be selected and confirmed with the confirmation key.

In the submenu “options” the protocol of the XLR sockets can be selected.

7.1 Setting the communication protocol of the XLR jacks

In the menu item “Input” the communication protocol of the XLR sockets can be selected. The following protocols can be selected here:

DMX/RDM
Remote (cable or radio)

Please select the desired protocol and confirm it with the confirmation button.

8. Care and maintenance

Avoid running the Hazer² without fluid. The pump will otherwise run dry.
Avoid overheating the device due to direct sunlight or direct spotlight. The permissible ambient temperature can be found in the technical data.
Make sure that the ventilation slots of the machine are not clogged with dust deposits. If necessary, the ventilation slots must be cleaned.
Wipe up leaked fluid immediately.
Check the suction strainer in the tank from time to time. Clean it or replace it.
If you use the same fluid bottle frequently, you should rinse it thoroughly before each filling with fresh fluid. This will prevent contamination.
If necessary, clean the surface of the device with a suitable, solvent-free cleaning agent
Make sure that sufficient mist-free cooling air permanently surrounds the machine. Otherwise, moisture damage could occur inside the machine.
after a few hours of operation, condensate droplets may have formed in the condensate droplets may have formed in the discharge area. This does not represent an operating fault. Please clean the area only when the machine has cooled down.
PLEASE NOTE: The vaporizer of our fog machines does NOT need to be cleaned! Cleaning fluids offered on the market can damage the vaporizer! The warranty will be void in this case.

9. Troubleshooting

The Hazer² does not haze

Check external control
Check power source
Check fluid quantity
Check connection at fluid tank for tightness
Check suction strainer in tank for contamination
Check fluid hose and connector for tightness

The Hazer² clacks loudly when hazing

The pump runs dry. This must be avoided at all cost
Refill fluid
Check hose and coupling, engage again if necessary.

The Hazer² shows the error message “machine too hot” in the display

The temperature inside the device is too high. After cooling down, the error disappears again.

The Hazer² shows the error message “faulty vaporizer” in the display

Something is wrong with the evaporator. The machine shuts down for safety reasons.
