Operating instructions

Starting operation:
Install the unit on a level surface.
The fluid tank of the unit needs to be filled with smoke fluid before switching on.
Always disconnected it from the mains supply before filling as fluid could be spilled.
Only use quality smoke fluids recommended by your dealer. See page 7 for our recommended high quality smoke fluids. You must not use substances which are classified as ‘DANGEROUS WORKING MATERIALS’ or ‘FLAMMABLE FLUIDS’.
If fluid should get inside the main housing, disconnect the unit from the mains immediately and consult a technician.

Installation:
Install the unit in a well-ventilated area. Use in an insufficiently ventilated room can lead to the condensation of the smoke fluid. The resulting slippery surface can cause accidents. Keep a minimum distance of 1m around the unit.
Furthermore do not orientate the output nozzle directly in the direction of the audience’s eyes.
In order to create the best effect, there should be a distance between the unit and the audience of at least 1.5m.
Only install the smoke machine on fire resistant, scratch resistant and water resistant surfaces.

DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the unit, make sure there is no highly flammable material (decoration articles etc) within a minimum distance of 1m

This unit is constructed for a free standing installation both horizontal or vertical.

DANGER TO LIFE!
Disconnect from the mains before starting maintenance

There are no serviceable parts inside this unit except for the fuse.
Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.

Replacing the fuse:
Only replace the fuse with a fuse of same type and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect from the mains, see the following for procedure:
Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a suitable screwdriver.
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
(Replacement fuses should be of the same value as originally supplied)
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
Should you need any spare parts, only use genuine parts.

Operation:
Connect the fog machine to a suitable mains outlet using the IEC power cable and switch the power switch to the on position.
After the unit has been powered up the fog machine will take a short while to heat up to operating temperature. Whilst heating the Red Heating LED on the fixture will illuminate, once heated the Green Ready LED on the unit will illuminate (the Green LED on the wireless remote receiver will illuminate Green also when the fixture is ready to fog).
Strobe can be switched on/off via the Strobe button on the side of the unit.

To begin fogging via the wireless remote plug the wireless receiver into the remote control output on the unit. Press one of the 8 buttons on the wireless remote control (see below). Long periods of activation may trigger the fog machine to enter the reheat cycle during which the fog machine will not produce any output.
Care should be taken to ensure the fluid level is maintained and the unit is not allowed to run dry of fluid. Isolate from the mains supply before refilling the fluid tank.
