INTRODUCTION OF THE PRODUCT
Thank you for purchasing the UR Fog product.
Fast 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS is the most powerful and fastest system in the world,
ideal to protect wide areas like big shops, warehouses or superstores. It
shoots in one shot up to 4000 m3 of dense fog in about 3 minutes.
This fogging system is able to work without mains power for up to 5 hours so
it is ideal to protect isolated areas or where mains power, fades away of ten.
With patented technological innovations too, PUMP LINE products are the best
fog generators with the best performances.
– Simple: the machine is easy to install and able to be integrated into any
existing alarm system.
CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNINGS
The fog generated by UR Fog does not create particular problems or injuries
for a human being for a short stay in a fogged room if the system is used
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Generated fog is certified as safe for people and animals by an authorized
international certification company and is proven that it does not leave any
residual.
UR Fog systems are certified respecting European laws and regulations. Any
certifications required in specific countries are the responsibility of the
distributor of that specific country.
The documents related to certifications can be requested by mail to
support@urfog.com.
It is not guaranteed by the manufacturer the use of the UR Fog system in the
presence of objects that may be damaged anyway by 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 the 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 refills that are not the ones suggested by UR Fog
and never try to recharge them, they are made for
single use. Follow your national rules for the disposal of empty bags.
Keep UR Fog refills 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 thieves 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 to the refills.
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 installing UR Fog:
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
- The machine must be installed to avoid obstructing escape routes.
- Verify the fog does not limit the visibility near stairs, landings, or 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 to the bags.
- The nozzle may reach high temperatures, and touching 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 interval between the minimum and maximum shown in the shooting table, avoid “overshooting” even if the produced fog is dry and generally doesn’t leave a residue. A shot that goes far beyond the recommended seconds can create residue problems in the room.
- UR Fog continues to be effective for up to 2 hours and 30 minutes without 230 V or 120 V main power thanks to the insulation system which maintains the temperature in the heating system.
- Install at a 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 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.
- The tip of a stranded conductor should not be soft-soldered where the conductor is subjected to contact pressure.
- The UR Fog machine should not be exposed to water spray or dripping.
- Request UR Fog or its distributors to take part in courses for installers to ensure the optimal installation of the equipment.
- The content of the bags is mechanically predetermined and can be subject to variations +/- 10%

The “empty” signal doesn’t mean only that the bag is empty, but also warns you
that the system has shot at least 150 seconds.
For this reason, is very important to make the “reset” only when you actually
exchange the bag, or you will lose seconds counting. (See paragraph 13)
WARNING:
– Loosened ferrule can cause dropping
– Do not disconnect the machine immediately after the shot
– Change the battery every two years
– Change the bag as soon as the “empty” signal appears
– The machine cannot be activated on a surface that does not allow air
circulation from lower slots
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM
It is always recommended to fix the fog generator to a wall. The bracket can
also simplify standard installation, by allowing to use of back holes for the
passage of cables. Remember to use a screw in the fixing hole placed in the
bag compartment.
Always verify that the bracket or the support surface is suitable for the
weight of the machine. It must be verified that the machine has the correct
air circulation.
CAUTION: to avoid injuries please securely fix the fogging machine to the
wall according to the installation instructions.
After removing the machine from the package, unscrew the two screws that stop
the right side panel and remove it.
Remove tamper screws and shell screws from the inside.
At this point, it is possible to remove the frontal shell and see the
electronic circuit, from here on called PCB.
To open the side compartment, it is necessary to remove the bag compartment
and take off the frontal shell, unscrew and remove the screws below.
The screw in the lower left part of the bag compartment’s door is longer than
the others and its removal activates the tamper output. After the screw has
been positioned correctly, the machine emits 4 beeps and deactivates tamper
output. The fogging system Pump 4000 must only be installed
vertically.
MAINS POWER SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
The heating element is rated at 600 W, at the very beginning power consumption
is about 500 W and in some minutes it goes down reaching average consumption
of about 110W.
Do not use inverter or UPS if you are not sure that they generate a true sine
wave, not a rebuilt one.
Ask please the UPS manufacturer for the correspondence of such features before
proceeding with the connection.
– The max current to be considered for the system is 6 A for the 120 V or 3 A
for the 230 V
– The connection to the 230 V 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 REQUIRES
INSTALLATION, IT IS SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE COUNTRY IN
WHICH IT IS INSTALLED
For section and types of wires, fuses, suitability of materials to

INPUTS
+ 12V Power input
The power supply is connected to those inputs.
INPUT SIGNALS
A By connecting this input to positive, FAST PUMP PRO PLUS is armed, a
blue frontal LED is switched on and when the machine reaches the proper
temperature it means that it is ready for shooting.
S Putting this input to positive, if FAST PUMP PRO PLUS is hot and armed,
starts fog emission for the set time (see paragraph 12).
VALIDATION INPUT
In order to validate this input, it’s necessary to insert the jumper W4 with
the unit switched OFF.
This input automatically generates AND function with input S.
If any input receives the shooting command, the generator doesn’t emit fog if
within 1 minute doesn’t receive the command
also from the second input.
P+ Output is positive to give power to a validation sensor or a remote
control receiver, max 300 mA.
P- Output negative to give power to a validation sensor or a remote
control receiver, max 300 mA.
PV Validation input. It’s possible to connect to this input a validation
sensor with a contact normally closed connected to the terminal P-.
The PV input can be connected to external devices such as PIR or door sensors
and behaves as an additional firing validation input. When the PV function is
active, by closing the W4 jumper, the emission of fog will be possible ONLY if
the SHOOT and PV commands have both been received, in any order, in a time
interval not exceeding 60 seconds. After the shooting in these conditions both
inputs will be inhibited for 2 minutes to avoid false activations.
OUTPUTS
E This output (NPN Open Collector) closes in the negative direction when the
bag is empty. This output (NPN open collector) closes towards negative when
the fogging machine emitted fog for at least 100’’ or when the bag is empty.
The signal is activated by a sensor that detects the absence of liquid just
while shooting. The empty bag signal is deactivated only making the RESET (see
paragraph 15). For this reason, if the bag is not inserted, or there is an
empty bag inside, FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS will detect it just after a shot.
F This output (NPN Open Collector) closes towards negative when there is a
malfunction (such as batteries expired, fault of power supply or temperature
control fault), which compromises the functioning of the device and which
requires technical action. The fault signal due to supply absence has a delay
of 20 minutes.
T This output (NPN Open Collector) closes in the negative direction when you
open the bag door or when the accelerometer detects a sudden movement (such as
the detachment from the wall).
C This output (NPN open collector) closes towards negative only after that the
system has emitted fog for the set time, the signal will stay active for 10
seconds. If the emission of fog is interrupted (if there is an interruption of
ARM command, if the fluid finishes, if there is no thermal autonomy anymore)
this output will not change its status.
Note: in 120v models, this output has a safety function; it is used to control
a relay to cut off power to the heating resistor under serious fault
conditions. Please refer to the local distributor for more information.
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 takes
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
damage.
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.

outputs of a standard alarm system
B Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS inputs to an alarm
with relay outputs
C Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS inputs with outputs of

H Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS outputs with a relay
board.
A – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS inputs with outputs of
a standard alarm system
In the diagram above the control panel, as an example, provides UR Fog power
supply between 11 and 14V DC 250 mA max.
The ON/OFF output of this alarm is an Open Collector NPN opened when the
system is off and it is stably closed to negative as long as the system is
turned on.
The alarm output of the alarm is normally open and becomes positive during the
alarm time.
B – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS inputs to an alarm
with relay outputs
ON/OFF output of this alarm central is an open relay when the system is
off and it is stably closed to positive as long as the system is turned on.
C – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS inputs with outputs of
an alarm with open collector outputs
Compared to the B diagram, this
alarm central has only open collector outputs.
The simplest action to take is to use 2 relays to create a connection similar
to the one shown in the previous diagram.
D – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS outputs to drive LEDs
and/or relays In case of an empty bag, the EMP LED
(EMPTY) will switch on.
In case of a fault, the FLT LED (FAULT) will switch on.
By opening the cylinder door, besides the TPR (TAMPER) turning on, the relay
will switch as well.
Max power applicable on the outputs is 100mA
E – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS outputs with inputs of
an alarm normally opened
The outputs shown in the diagram are not always necessary, but only in
cases where the voltage of pull-up resistance is lower than that of the power
supply.
The UR Fog outputs are normally opened and connected with the input zones of
the alarm control panel normally opened.
F – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS outputs with balanced
inputs of an antitheft
In this diagram, by putting a resistance with a value required by the alarm
control panel used, in UR Fog terminal with not used outputs the central will
see the correct resistance. After the activation of output, a pull-down will
occur causing the alarm in the corresponding zone.
G – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS outputs with
antirobbery connection
Using the special connector and
enabling the option of antirobbery closing the Jumper W2, you will obtain the
immediate emission of the fog for the seconds that you have set (paragraph13)
even if the fogging system is not armed.
N.B. Is recommended to use this function after a careful evaluation of the
risks from a security consultant.
H – Example of connection of FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS outputs with relay board
**FRONT LEDS MEANINGS
**
BLUE LED
When on: the machine is armed and, if hot, it’s ready to shoot.
When flashing: something is wrong (see paragraph 17 “DEFECTS AND POSSIBLE
SOLUTIONS“)
RED LED
When on: the bag is empty or it is in reserve.
When flashing: something is wrong (see paragraph 17 “DEFECTS AND POSSIBLE
SOLUTIONS“)
GREEN LED
When on: the machine is hot and ready for the fog emission.
When flashing: the heating process is in progress. In this step, the machine is
heating but is not ready to shoot.
IF THE BLUE LED IS FLASHING, TOGETHER WITH A CONTINUOUS SOUND FROM THE
BUZZER, A PROBLEM IS DETECTED. SEE PARAGRAPH 17
The symbol of the empty bag has the meaning of “RESERVE” too.
It means that since the last bag reset the machine consumed at least 50% of
the estimated range of the bag. The machine already shot for 150 seconds.
SHOOTING TIME SETTING AND FOG FLOW DIRECTION
To set the shooting time, after opening the bag compartment door, at the top
of the PCB, facing the board you must move the jumper in left position P3
(closer to the buttons S1/S2). Then, holding down the button S1 “SET”, 6 LEDs
on the front will flash and each flash is equivalent to 10 seconds. If you
press the button again, the shooting time is not added to the one previously
set, but will restart from zero.
N.B. Before opening the side door
ensure that the control panel is set to “service”, so that the opening of the
“anti-sabotage or tamper” circuit does not cause any shooting.
N.B. To correctly dimension the machines it is needed to verify that the
saturation of the area occurs in a faster time than the one supposed for the
theft.
RECOMMENDED SHOOTING SECONDS ACCORDING TO THE VOLUME SPACE TO PROTECT (m3 )
Fogging systems FAST 4000 PUMP PRO PLUS are able to produce fog for a
maximum of 180 seconds per single shot. The maximum quantity of 14,7 ml/s
allows for filling an area of about 4000 m 3.
There might be cases in which, due to specific characteristics of the
location, nozzle type, levels of temperature and air pressure, degree of the
fog density, and light in the target area, the shooting time should be
increased or decreased. For example, above 5 m of height, the shooting time
must be integrated and above 7 m, every additional meter should be considered
as double.
(HxLxP) x D x V x R x I
HxLxP——– Height x Width x Depth of the area to protect
D————- Density of the produced fog
V————- Temperature and air pressure
R————- Acceptable residue in case of saturation of V parameter
I————– Intensity of the surface light
The following tables indicate the suggested fog emission in relation to the
number of seconds of shooting set in the average conditions of temperature,
air pressure, and humidity.

- Industrial standard as from other manufacturers
The value in the first column indicates the volume of the room to be protected, with respective seconds of emission reported in the second column. The value in m³ varies depending on the density to be obtained. Within the second column, the first value allows getting the maximum density recommended to ensure the absence of any residual, while with the second value you get minimum recommended visibility according to the standard CENELEC, whereas higher visibility would make the fog superfluous. In places where a little residual causes no problems, it is possible to increase the shooting time.
Please note that the higher the fog released, the more time is required to recover visibility. High levels of fog, over recommended limits, can leave residual.
Any residue usually goes away by itself within 24/48 hours, otherwise, being soluble in water, it is enough to use a wet cloth for cleaning.
If you desire to obtain an average of 1-meter visibility after 60 seconds, as specified by the standard, as used as a reference by all manufacturers of Fog generators, the number of shooting seconds must be reduced by half.
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 (we advise against the installation on the floor).
WARNING! After the fog emission, and for a few minutes the nozzle is very hot RISK OF BURNS IF TOUCHED by bare hands.
NOZZLE TAMPER
The check of the obstruction of the nozzle is done with a little airflow,
while a sensor checks the pressure of the internal circuit.
In case the sensor detects an increase in the internal pressure, means that
there is an obstruction inside the nozzle.
In the meantime, the output of Tamper will be activated, the buzzer will emit
a sound with a fast frequency with the flash of the red LEDs.
This condition of the alarm will continue until the system is disarmed and
armed again.
As the little compressor that introduces the airflow emits some vibrations,
its activation occurs only in the following cases:
– When you press the button RESET for more than 5 seconds, besides the
activations of the drop of the motors, will start a cycle of monitoring of 15
minutes, in order to simulate the obstruction and check the correct working.
– When the system has armed the cycle of monitoring starts. This cycle is the
most important, because as the system was disarmed probably was easier to go
near the machine and obstruct the nozzle. After 15 minutes, the compressor
will stop automatically. If the system is disarmed and armed again, the cycle
will start again for 15 minutes.
– After the emission of the fog, as normally the zone where the machine is
installed is the last where the visibility is reduced, the generator remains
vulnerable, giving the possibility to who generated the alarm to attempt the
sabotage.
For this reason, after the emission of the fog, the compressor will be
activated for 15 minutes.
Do not obstruct the nozzle when the generator is armed and bag is in.
INSTALLATION, EXCHANGE, AND BAG RESET
Insert the plastic bag in the compartment as shown in the picture
In order to make the reset the jumper P3 must be in the right position as you
can see in the picture
After that, insert a new bag until you hear the “click” of the metal plug
(pictures on page 17) entering its housing, then close the door.
N.B. When you close the door, the buzzer will make a sound to confirm that
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 “anti-
sabotage or tamper” circuit does not cause any alarm.
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 power supply and battery
- Verify the lock of the nozzle ferrule
- Verify the entirety of the nozzle sphere
- Check the air tightness of the circuit and the switch functioning
- Annually verify the functioning of the fluid pump
- Intervention report redaction and release of conformity declaration according to 37/08 order in case of provision
Check the efficiency of the power supply and of the battery
Verify that the tension of the no-load voltage power supply (disconnected
battery) is 13,8 V. If the tension is different, regulate it using the trimmer
placed on the power supply. Verify the efficiency of the battery (it should
not be hot and bloated); it is suggested to change it every two years due to
the heavy and prolonged charge during the shot without mains power.
The 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. Change the sphere only with the original
ones of 7 mm.
CHECKING OF THE PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT AND THE PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM THE TEST
CAN BE DONE JUST BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
Before starting the test of the pressure control it’s necessary:
– to remove the bag
– to be sure that the nozzle is cold
– to be sure that the nozzle tamper pump is activated
The pneumatic seal test must be done within a few seconds when the pump for
nozzle tamper control is turned on, as the nozzle temperature rises rapidly
reaching temperatures that may cause serious burns.
The air coming out of the nozzle exceeds 200° C.
IT’S ADVISABLE TO USE GLOVES
- 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 is pressed until you hear that the pump is activated.
- Wait for the activation of the buzzer (Max 30’’)
- Remove the obstruction by taking away your hand quickly to avoid being in contact with the hot emission of air.
The buzzer must stop.
– If after 30’’ you don’t hear the buzzer, maybe 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.
Annually verify the functioning of the pump
The test can be done by letting the fog generator shoot. If you do not want to
shoot during the whole shooting time set, you can just disarm the machine and
the shot will stop immediately.
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.
- A serious fault signal occurs with the first phase when the buzzer emits a continuous sound for 20 minutes and blue led flashes, the output FAULT immediately switches (if the generator is disconnected and connected again you can go directly at point 3)
- After 20 minutes, the buzzer stops, and while the blue led goes on flashing, the FAULT output remains closed. This phase remains permanently until the machine is completely disarmed.
- When you connect again the machine, blue and red LEDs flash alternately and no sound is emitted. This phase lasts up to 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 start again from the beginning and for 30 minutes.
If at the end of this process, the generator start to work again regularly is
not necessary for 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.

the machine is armed, for 15 minutes the compressor will monitor the nozzle.
After this time it will deactivate automatically: if the fogging system is
disarmed, the compressor will go on with it reaches 15 minutes.
If the machine is disarmed and then armed again. the count will start again
from zero
When you are the togging system, a little fog flow goes out from the nozzle
even it the machine has never shot before| During the testing phase in the
factory. we also test the quality of fog in all
produced systems, a little quantity of the fog liquid remains in the ducts|
This emission occurs just at first activation, it will decrease visibly with
any activation. until
disappearing completely.
After an eventual disassembly and reinstallation or after the transport of the
machine, with the first activations, a little flow of tog can occur again

error, make a reset.
See paragraph 15.
In case of unsuccessful restore can be occurred a potential difference or a
fault.
In large size plants or with more than one fogging system connected with the
same central, in rare situations, it may occur that there are potential
differences between the equipment and it could be necessary to uncouple them.
Error in the thermal loop| The possible fault of thermocouple, resistance, or
fuse cable. Don’t try to repair Contact the assistance service center.
Impossible to arm the machine BLUE LED doesn’t switch on| Wiring error| Check
on the terminal with a tester that when the alarm system is tuned on there is
a minimum voltage of 11 V between – GND (5) + ARM (3).
