Generated fog is certified as safe for people and animals from an authorized international certification company and is proved that it does not leave any residual.
UR Fog systems are certified respecting European laws and regulations. Any certifications required in specific countries are a responsibility of the distributor of that specific country.
The documents related to certifications can be requested by mail to [email protected].
It is not guaranteed by the manufacturer the use of UR Fog system in the presence of objects that may be damaged anyway by the contact with substances based on glycol, water and alcohol. Any employee or worker that may be exposed to fog must be warned in advance and must be checked for any allergy to the substances listed above. At the date of printing of this manual it has never been pointed out any problem related to any allergy.
UR Fog is in no way responsible for any damage or condition of use that has not been required and specifically approved by any specific written request prior to the installation of its products.
For fog fluid please refer to UR Fog fluid safety data sheet published on the website and carefully read it at www.urfog.com.
Contact a doctor if for any reason you swallow fog fluid or if after contact with eyes or skin you have any kind of reaction, and in any case wash it immediately with water and soap. Do never stay for a long time in a room filled with fog. Do not use charged cylinders that are not the ones suggested by UR Fog and never try to recharge them, they are made for a single use. Follow your national rules for the dispose of empty cylinders.
Keep UR Fog cylinders out of reach of babies and animals. The nozzle may be hot and touching it may cause burns.
Do not look directly into the nozzle.
Never use UR Fog products for any purpose that is not related to protection from thief or robbery (the choice of the conditions of use in case of robbery will be suggested by your security consultant).
Never use different fog fluids or add any other substance into the cylinders.
Do not use or keep charged UR Fog machines in vehicles and do never transport UR Fog before 24 hours since it has been shut off. During transport it must be not armed.

INSTALLATION TIPS FOR FOGGING SYSTEMS

Please observe the following instructions for mounting UR Fog:persone.

The machine must be installed avoiding to obstruct escape routes.
Verify the fog does not limit the visibility near: stairs, landings, moving objects that may cause: falls down, injuries or any damage to persons.
Do not look directly into the nozzle. Do not add any other substance into the cylinders.
The nozzle may reach high temperatures, touch it may cause burns.
When UR Fog produces fog avoid staying closer than 1 meter from the machine.
When UR Fog is armed avoid staying closer than 50 cm from the nozzle.
Before testing UR Fog, remember to report it in advance to the firefighters in your area to avoid false alarms.
Remember to put warning labels about the presence of UR Fog on the windows.
Report its installation to the firefighters in your area and eventually to other institutions if needed.
It is necessary to add an external switch to separate the fog generator from the alarm system and it should be activated before the maintenance to avoid that input tests, for example, can activate the fog generator.
Never direct the fog jet towards an object or a wall less than 2 meters away and if possible increase the suggested minimum distance. Thanks to the power of the jet, UR Fog reaches and exceeds more than 10 meters away in the first 3 seconds from the point where the machine is installed.
Setting the shooting time is done choosing the proper cylinder.
UR Fog continues to be effective for up to 2 hours without 220V main power thanks to the insulation system which maintains the temperature in the heating system.
Install at an height of about 2,5 meters not to let it be reached, avoiding possible tampering.
Install with a maximum inclination of 20°.
Do not move the machine when it is still hot.
The main body of UR Fog, which has the heating system enclosed inside a metal frame, should not be opened unless by specific and authorized service centers. Do not open and touch for any reason the insulation before 24 hours
UR Fog has been shut off. The internal part may reach really high temperature.
Do not activate the UR Fog machine before the installation is completed.
Insert the cylinders as the last procedure and verify the anti-tampering function.
When the installation is finished, always test the system.
From the moment of UR Fog activation, at least one hour is necessary to reach the minimum temperature needed for the fog shooting.
Install UR Fog avoiding any obstacles in front of it which can prevent the spreading of the fog.
The external temperature of UR Fog can change from room temperature to 50 °C.
Request to UR Fog or its distributors to take part in courses for installers to ensure the optimal installation of the equipment.

HOW TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM

It is always recommended to affix the FAST 03 EASY 2 on a wall even when is placed on a flat surface. Always verify that the bracket or the support surface are suitable for the weight of the machine.
It is suggested not to install the machine behind walls in a limited close area without a specific ventilation to prevent a possible overheating.
After removing the machine from the package, unscrew the two screws that stop the door on the right side and remove it. Inside it is possible to see the front part of the electronic circuit,
later called PCB.
On the side you can see one cylinder placed on the cylinder plate (if included in the offer) or the plate ready to install a new cylinder. It is necessary to take away the cylinder to remove the blocks placed in the upper part of the cylinder, it is only used to avoid the risk of discharge of the liquid during transport. The cylinder supplied with the equipment are intended to be used only for a vertical installation. FAST 03 EASY 2 is designed for vertical installation, horizontal installation is not allowed. On the rear of the cabinet you have to remove precutted holes on the metal case and choose the proper ones after deciding for a straight or corner installation.
The round precited holes on the other hand, are to be used for cables that should go in or out of the machine.
For a more comfortable installation is recommended to use the wall bracket (not included with the machine). You can referee to your authorized reseller/distributor to get it.

POWER SUPPLY

230V or 110V power source supplies energy only to the heating system. The electronic card and the motor of the cylinder are supplied from the alarm system and batteries. The heating element is of 300W, at the very beginning power consumption is about 250W and in some minutes it goes down reaching average consumption which is about 40W. Do not use inverter or UPS unless you have the certainty that they generate a true sine wave, not a rebuilt one.

The max current to be considered for the system is 2A
The connection to the 230V or 110V electricity grid must be performed by a qualified technician.
Connect the equipment to the electricity grid only after you have completed the installation.
It is necessary to connect the ground terminal.

PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS ALL POWERED EQUIPMENT FROM THE ELECTRICITY GRID REQUIRING INSTALLATION, IT IS SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH RULES OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH IT IS INSTALLED
For section and types of wires, fuses, suitability of materials to installation sites etc..

Phase 220V or 110V
Neutral 220V or 110V
Ground connection
Ground connection for heat exchanger and cabinet (never disconnect)

IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE FUSE, USE THE ONE WITH EXACTLY THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS. IF IN DOUBT, ASK YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER

While connecting the machine to the mains power, it is recommended to never disconnect existing ground cable.
The fact of disconnecting or modifying existing cables voids the warranty and can cause troubles or accidents related to the temperature control. Connect ground cable from the system to the screw on the metal sheet.

BATTERY POWER

The batteries are intended to maintain the efficiency of the electronic card, allowing the fog emission even in absence of power supply from the electricity grid, until the heating system has a sufficient temperature.
The batteries also have the purpose of activating the motor that lift up the plate holding the cylinders, even when the main power supply or 12V from the alarm system is available.
Without batteries, with dead batteries, rechargeable or poor quality ones, the motor do not lift up the plate that push the cylinders. For this reason it is important:

To use only high quality alkaline batteries
To replace them within the expiry date
To replace them every 12 month anyway
To replace them when FAST 03 EASY 2 report the signal of low battery (paragraph 14 and 16)
To test the battery case during every maintenance (paragraph 16)
After inserting the batteries, it is important to check that they are in good contact with the battery holder to guarantee the proper functioning. Description of how to make tests is in paragraph 16.

DESCRIPTION OF INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

INPUTS

+ 12V Power input
GND Power input
In these inputs is necessary to provide a stable supply, between 11V and 14V DC from the alarm
control panel or from an external 12V power supply.
This power is necessary to the operation of the LED and for the logic of operation.
In the absence of voltage on this input, the logic part will continue to operate, but not the heater.
For about 2 hours and 30 minutes, or until the temperature of the heat exchanger (heating system) allows, FAST 03 EASY 2 may produce fog. The maximum current drawn from UR Fog on this input is 230 mA.
ARM Arming input
By connecting this input to positive, FAST 03 EASY 2 is armed, blue frontal led is switched on and when the machine reaches proper temperature it means that it is ready for shooting.
SHOOT shooting input.
Putting this input to positive, if FAST 03 EASY 2 is hot and armed, starts fog emission. In case of alarm, opening ARM input, the fog emission stops immediately.
Common ground
OUTPUTS
EMPTY Output empty cylinder
This output (NPN Open Collector) closes towards negative direction when the cylinder is empty.
FAULT Fault output
This output (NPN Open Collector) closes towards negative when there is a serious malfunction ( such as batteries expired, fault of power supply or temperature control fault), which compromises the functioning of the device and which requires a technical action. Fault signal due to supply absence has a delay of 20 minutes.
TAMPER Tamper output
This output (NPN Open Collector) closes towards negative direction when you open the door cylinder or when the accelerometer detects a sudden movement (such as the detachment from the wall)
GND Negative reference

Remember, it is necessary to connect all three outputs to an alarm central or an electronic panel that can see all those information in real time and take proper action.
In order to avoid accidental activation with subsequent fog emission, the inputs are in “negative security”, for this reason the disconnection of a wire does not cause activation.
So it is necessary to check carefully the reliability of connections and protect the cables to the control panel to avoid the risk of accidental damages.

CONNECTION EXAMPLES

The diagrams and examples below are intended only for a “better understanding” of the operation
of the inputs / outputs. None of the diagrams below represents the “single scheme to perform” as, in respect of the reference standard EN50131-8, there are precise indications and only using all inputs and outputs on the PCB it is possible to abide by the standard.

Example of connection FAST 03 EASY 2 inputs with outputs of a central alarm
Example of FAST 03 EASY 2 connection with external power supply for anti-robbery use
Example of connection of FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs to drive LEDs and / or relays
Example of connection of FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs with inputs of an antitheft normally opened with diods needed only with some equipment’s.
Example of connection of FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs with balanced inputs of an antitheft
Example of connection of FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs with relay board

A – Example of connection FAST 03 EASY 2 inputs with outputs of a central alarm URFOG-FU200M3-Fast-03-Easy-2-Smoke-Alarm-Smoke-
Machine-8

In the diagram above the control panel, as example, provides to FAST 03 EASY 2 power supply between 11 and 14V DC 250 mA max.
The ON/OFF output of this power plant is an Open Collector NPN opened when the system is off and it is stably closed to negative for all the time in which the system still lit.
The alarm output of the plant is normally open and becomes positive during the alarm time.

B – Example of connection FAST 03 EASY 2 for anti-robbery use with external power supply

In the diagram above Ur Fog is powered by an external power supply.
When Fast 02 or 03 is used with an external power supply in case of power failure, the machine will not be able to shoot.
For this reason, when the anti-robbery function must be guaranteed in the absence of power, it is needed to add a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1.2 Ah 12V in parallel to the output of power supply.
The arming key is important, as required by law, to allow you to disarm the device when not in use and during maintenance. The shooting button, when the machine is armed, starts the fog emission immediately after pushing the button with the shooting time already set in advance.
To stop the fog emission before the set time, turn the key to disarm the machine.
For safety reasons and to avoid false fog emissions in power, when Fast 03 EASY 2 is armed, it becomes operative only after 20”. After this time, the fog emission is instantaneous.

C – Example of connections FAST 03 EASY 2 of outputs to drive LEDs and/or RELAY

In case of an empty cylinder, the DL EMPTY led will switch on.
In case of a fault, the DL FAULT led will switch on. By opening the cylinders door, in addition to the DL TAMPER led switching on the relay will switch.
Max power applicable on the outputs is 100mA
In case of an empty cylinder, the DL EMPTY led will switch on
In case of a fault, DL FAULT will switch on
By opening the cylinders doors, in addition to the DL TAMPER led switching on, the relay will switch Maximum applicable power on the outputs is 100mA

D – Esempio di collegamento delle uscite di FAST 03 EASY 2 con diodi, necessari solo se si vogliono riferire le uscite ad una tensione diversa da +12 V.

The FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs are normally opened and connected with input zones of the alarm control panel opened.
According to the diagram above:
when there is an empty cylinder the entrance area L3 will detect an alarm;
if a failure occurs or the batteries run down, L2 detects an alarm;
when you open the door of the cylinders, L1 detects an alarm.

E – Examples of connections FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs with balanced inputs of an antitheft

In this diagram, putting the resistance value required by the alarm control panel used in the terminal of FAST 03 EASY 2 , with not used outputs the central will see the correct resistance, while following the activation of an output, you will have a pull-down causing the alarm of the corresponding zone.

F – Example of connection FAST 03 EASY 2 outputs with relay board.

MEANING OF FRONT LEDS

BLUE LED
When on it means that the machine is armed, hot and ready to shoot.
When flashing means that a fault is detected.
RED LED
When on it means that 50% of the liquid inside the cylinder has been used (after 1 shot) When flashing means that the cylinder is completely empty (after second shot)
GREEN LED
When on means that FAST 03 EASY 2 is hot and ready for the fog emission.
When flashing means that the heating process is in progress FAST 03 EASY 2 in this step

If the BLUE LED is flashing, together with a continuous sound from the buzzer, means that a fault is detected, see paragraph 15. The symbol of the empty cylinder flashing, in Fast 03 Easy 2 has the meaning of “RESERVE” after one shoot and “EMPTY CYLINDER” after two. In this case the tank must be replaced. On Fast 03 Easy 2 is possible to use 165 ml cylinders for a single shot. In this case the red led on (not flashing) has the meaning of “totally empty cylinder” and the tank must be replaced.

DIREZIONE DEL FLUSSO DI NEBBIA

The cylinders for fog cannons are guaranteed to work for 3 years from production date. The expiry date is printed on the top of them.
After that date, cylinders should be replaced even if they have not been used. It is recommend to return them to the same to the dealer, who will take care of disposal. For this reason it is recommended to use only new cylinders. After removing the screws from the door, take away the used cylinder and reset the warning light for empty cylinder. After this operation, insert the new cylinder until you hear the
“click” of the plastic support at its top that goes into the slot, then close the door of the cylinder.
If the cylinder seemed “stuck” in the upper part DO NOT pull with force, make a pressure with two fingers on top of the cylinder, such as to lower it. Then try again to remove it. If the cylinder does not enter, check if the cylinder plate of the motor remains lifted. If so, see paragraph 14. When you close the door, the buzzer will make a sound to confirm the tamper is closed. Attention: Before opening the side doors, make sure that the alarm control panel is in “service” mode, so that the opening of the circuit “anti-sabotage or tamper” does not cause any alarm.
The cylinders supplied with the equipment are intended to be used only for a vertical (standard) installation.I’s necessary to insert the cylinders with the black plastic plug.

FOG FLOW DIRECTION

Fog flow direction
To ensure the right direction of the fog flow, it is recommended to insert a screwdriver of the diameter of the hole and, without forcing, orient the nozzle in the correct fog emission direction. This allows you to clearly see the direction and keep it in place while tightening.
To screw and unscrew the nozzle you should use a pair of pliers in good condition to avoid damaging the plating. Do not overscrew the nozzle, it is sufficient that the teflon nozzle does not move.
Do not direct the fog jet towards objects and walls less than 2 meters away or to the floor if it is installed at a height lower than 2.50 meters.
WARNING! After the fog emission, and for a few minutes the nozzle is very hot, RISK OF BURNS IF TOUCHED by bare hands.

MAINTENANCE

UR Fog generators do not require special care, however, it is recommended the support of qualified and authorized personnel for periodic annual monitoring, taking into account the following:

Verify the good working condition of the batteries
It is advisable to replace the cylinders after 2 years from the installation
Verify the lock of the nozzle ferrule
Verify the entirety of the nozzle sphere
Intervention report redaction and release of conformity declaration according to 37/08 order in case of provisio

Verification of batteries and battery case
When do you need to change the batteries:

After one year of use.
Within the deadline printed on them.
When it is reported that they stopped to function.

If the batteries run out, it starts a sequence of acoustic signals:

2 bips/minute – battery is low,
3 bips/minutes – machine can’t shoot, battery too low,
10 bips/minutes – batteries missing or bad contact on battery case, plug or cable interrupted.

The anomaly of the batteries also causes the activation of the output “fault”, useful to signal a possible anomaly.
When the empty batteries are removed from the battery case, the buzzer will sound a sequence of 10 bips for each minute. After re-inserting the new batteries, it is suggested to wait at least one minute, to verify that the sequence of beeps is not repeated.
If the sequence of beeps does not stop, you have to check the polarity of the batteries and, if correct, check if the batteries are in correct contact with the battery case.
In this step it is suggested to verify a battery case with a tester.
It is necessary the use of alkaline batteries of excellent quality.
The use of rechargeable batteries is not allowed.
When you close the cylinder compartment, the buzzer will sound to confirm the correct closing of the
anti-tamper system. We recommend to throw away the batteries in the appropriate waste containers for recycling. Heavy metals contained in them are recyclable.

Entirety of the nozzle sphere
Verify that the nozzle hole is cylindric. The average duration of the nozzle sphere depends on the number and duration of the shooting, around 8L of glycol.

IT’S ADVISABLE TO USE GLOWES

Obstruct the nozzle with soft and insulating material (for example an eraser).
Keep the nozzle obstructed, press the button P3 previously moved in RESET position (see paragraph 14) and keep it pressed until you hear that the pump is activated.
Wait for the activation of the buzzer (Max 30’’)
Remove the obstruction taking away your hand quickly to avoid to be in contact with the hot emission of air.
The buzzer must stop.
- If after 30’’ you don’t hear the buzzer, may be a loss inside the circuit; please contact the service center.
- If after removing the obstruction the buzzer doesn’t stop, it means that there is an obstruction; please contact the service center.

The cylinders are empty – Change the cylinders as described in paragraph 13
The front green LED flashes| The heat exchanger has not yet reached the minimum temperature of shooting, wait for stop flashing (standard time of heating 60 min)
The machine does not shoot immediately after arming| For security reasons and to avoid false fog emissions in power, when the machine is armed, it becomes operative only after 20”. After this time, the emission is instantaneous.
Wiring error| Verify that the alarm once activated has a tension on connectors of at least 12V
The buzzer sounds continuously and the LED flashes blue| Reading thermocouples error| FAULT – see paragraph 16
Cannot arm, BLUE LED doesn not become on| Wiring error| Test the terminal that there is a minimum voltage of between 11V – GND (5) + ARM (3), when the anti- theft system is activated
When you press the reset cylinder button can not hear the sound of the buzzer, the all front leds flash but the red LED does not reset| The Jumper P3 is in the “SET” position| Reset cylinder – Paragraph 13
The cylinder does not enter The cylinder does not exit| The plate is raise The cylinder is stuck in the valvebody| Press down and then pull

RESET FROM FAULT CONDITION

This process is useful to discriminate false interpretations of faults caused by electrical shocks or serious problems on power supply from thermal loop problems.

Serious fault signal occurs with a first phase when the buzzer emits a continuous sound for 20 minutes and blue led flashes, the output FAULT immediately switch (if the generator is disconnected and connected again you can go directly at point 3)
After 20 minutes, the buzzer stops, while blue led goes on flashing, the FAULT output remains closed. This phase remains permanently, until the machine is completely disarmed.
When you connect the machine again, blue and red leds flash alternately and no sound is emitted. This phase lasts for 30 minutes, then, the output FAULT is reset and the generator starts to work again. If during this process the generator is disconnected, when you connect it again the time starts again from the beginning and for 30 minutes.
If at the end of this process the generator starts to work again regularly is not necessary any further operation.
If occurs again the fault condition within the following 20 minutes, it’s necessary a check from the assistance center, or to send the machine back to the factory.
