Step 1: After checking that the machine and accessories are not damaged, place the machine on a flat surface with at least 50 cm of space around the machine.
Step 2: Pour the PRO-X.2 snow fluid into the tank, taking care not to fold the tube. Damage caused by the use of other liquids is not covered by the warranty.
Step 3: Connect the machine to the power. Before connecting, please confirm whether the required power indicated on the technical label on the back of the machine is consistent with the power supply.
Be sure to link the machine to a protected circuit and make sure it is properly grounded to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Step 4: Start the machine and press the [VOLUME]/[DOWN] button to make the machine start outputting snow.
Step 5: To turn off the unit, press the [STOP] button and turn the power supply to the OFF position

5.1.2 LCD Control
This LCD display is optional in Chinese and English, which is convenient for customers to operate.

The condition to meet this mode is: disconnect the DMX signal (when the DMX signal is connected, this control mode is invalid).
The LCD controller contains 4 buttons:

Under any setting pages, press STOP to exit or return to the page one.
When the unit is working, press STOP to stop running and return to the page one.
After enter into different setting pages, press UP and DOWN to change the value When it is in the page one, press TIMER button to enter into timer mode directly. The relevant pages are described as follows:
① “Interval 10s”: interval timing;
② “Duration 10s”: duration timing;
The above pages will be displayed cyclically, and the time (such as 10s) is based on the currently set value (the settings of the 1st and 2nd pages).
In the timing mode, the snow output is controlled by “Timer Out”.
On the first page, press the “VOLUME” to enter the working state. The relevant instructions are as follows:
After entering this working state, the output volume is subject to the value set by “Volume Out”.

5.1.4 Power-off memory function description

When the “Direct Timer” page is set to “ON”, the machine is working in the regular working mode, if there is a sudden power failure or power off, the machine will automatically work according to the last time setting when it is powered on again. No need to reset, unless this function is turned off manually.
When the machine is in the state of remote control output or manual output, if the power is suddenly cut off or turned off, the machine will automatically work according to the last output working mode the next time it is powered on. No need to reset, unless the output is stopped by human operation.

5.1.5 W-7 wireless remote control function (standard)
This function is used to control the machine work remotely. The remote control can reach more than 40 meters in the open space. First turn on the machine, then turn on the remote control function and the remote control transmitter is matched, so the remote control function is effective.
After the wireless receiver has been tested, it will be fixed on the panel of the H-S6, please do not try to pull it out.

There are four buttons on the remote control. Press the “A” button to start the machine, press the “B” button to stop the machine, press the “C” button to reduce the output, and press the “D” button to increase the output.
H-S6 can match multiple remote control transmitters. This is to allow individual control from machine to machine without being affected by other wireless transmitters. The following explains how this function works.

5.1.6 Identify the wireless transmitter
When the machine is powered on, and the last time the remote control function setting page is set to ON, the LCD controller will display “Wireless Setup”, if this state appears, it means that the wireless transmitter can be paired. When pressing the button on the wireless transmitter (it needs to stay for at least 1 second), if the backlight of the LCD controller flashes twice, it means that a wireless transmitter has been recognized and stored. A machine can only recognize up to 60 wireless transmitters.

If multiple wireless remote control transmitters have been identified, now to make clear the matching remote control data, the operation is as follows:
On the “Clear remote control data” page, press the button “ENTER”, the screen displays “Data clearing…”, and after a few seconds, the screen displays “Data clearing complete”. At this time, it means that the previously matched remote control transmitter data has been cleared, and it needs to be re-matched before it can be controlled.
In the “Wireless Remote Control Function” setting, after the setting page is turned off, the remote control function will be invalid, but the previously matched remote control data is still saved. After this function is turned on, the remote control function will work normally.

5.1.7 K-2 wired controller (standard)
An S5 socket interface is reserved on the machine, which can be connected to the K-2 controller for remote control. Timing control, and manual control of snow output work.
5.2 DMX Operation
After the machine is connected to the DMX signal, the LCD screen can only display the DMX512 address setting page. At this time, it can be used to modify the DMX512 address code at any time.

H-S6 has two channels

Channel	Function	Value	Status
1	Wind output level	0-5	Off
6-250	Fan Output 1-100%
251-255	Strong wind mode
2	Snow output level	0-5	Off
6-250	Snow Output 1-100%

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

6.1.1 Maintenance
H-S6 needs regular cleaning and maintenance to achieve the best results. Some cleaning and maintenance steps are essential. Here are the recommended cleaning steps:

Unplug the product from power.
Empty snow fluid from the machine.
Add water to the snow fluid tank.
Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up. Run the Cleaning Mode.
Thoroughly rinse the snow fluid reservoir and fluid tube.
Run the product in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
Add snow fluid again to continue using WP-4. Run the machine briefly to remove any remaining clean water from the oil pump and heater.
Excessive dust, fluid residue and dirt will degrade performance and cause overheating.
Remove dust from air vents with air compressor, vacuum or soft brush. The casing could be cleaned by the damp cloth.
If the cleaning mode is not turned off manually, the machine will automatically turn off the cleaning function after the machine cleaning time reaches 1 minute.
Test-run your H-S6 on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
