OVERVIEW

SETUP

Fluid Level Sensor: This device is equipped with a fluid level sensor for your convenience. When the fluid reservoir contains an adequate amount of fluid, the sensor LED will remain steadily lit. If the fluid level becomes low, the LED will flash to alert you. When the fluid level approaches empty, a built-in sensor inside the reservoir will automatically deactivate the pump. This feature serves a dual purpose: it safeguards the pump and extends its operational life.
Enhanced Heating Element: This device incorporates a newly designed heating element that effectively prevents the accumulation of excessive particles, which could otherwise lead to premature fogger failure. Wireless Remote Control: The device is furnished with a wireless remote control that grants you command over both the LEDs and fog output.

1. Unpacking: Carefully open the shipping carton and extract the unit. Remove all packaging materials, paying special attention to the area around the nozzle.
2. Placement and Fluid Reservoir: Position the fog machine on a level, dry surface. Fill the fog fluid reservoir exclusively with ADJ brand fog juice and securely tighten the cap. Note that a steady red LED indicates a sufficient reservoir, while a flashing red LED signals low fluid levels.
3.  Power Up: Plug the unit into a compatible power supply. Allow the fogger to reach its normal operating temperature. The green LED on the rear of the unit will illuminate when the device has achieved its operating temperature, signaling that it is ready to emit fog.
4. Fog Emission: To release fog, either press the fog button located on the rear of the unit or press one of the buttons on the provided remote control. For comprehensive instructions on using the wireless remote, refer to the Wireless Remote Operation section in this manual.

WIRELESS REMOTE OPERATION

Always be sure to maintain an adequate supply of ADJ Brand Fog Juice in the fluid reservoir.
Running the fog machine dry will cause pump failure and or clogging. This is the largest cause of failure in fog and haze machines. We recommend use of ADJ brand fog juice only!
Wireless Remote Operation: Plug the unit into power, and allow about six (6) minutes for it to reach operating temperature. A green LED located at the rear of the unit will illuminate when the unit has reached operating temperature, indicating the unit is ready to emit fog. If the green LED is illuminated and fog does not come out after holding the button down for 30 seconds, check the fluid tank and verify whether fluid level is low.

The function of each button is as defined below:

• Button 1 – Fog + Red LEDs
•  Button 2 – Fog + Green LEDs
•  Button 3 – Fog + Blue LEDs
• Button 4 – Fog + Red, Green, & Blue LEDs
• Button 5 – Fog + Red & Green LEDs
• Button 6 – Fog + Red & Blue LEDs
• Button 7 – Fog + Green & Blue LEDs
•  Button 8 – Fog + Red, Green, & Blue LEDs + Strobing

CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE

WARNING! DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES!
ALWAYS ALLOW THE FIXTURE TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE!
FUSE REPLACEMENT
To replace the fuse, first, disconnect the unit from its power source and detach the power cord. After removing the cord, find the fuse holder inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the power socket and carefully remove the fuse holder. Replace the faulty fuse with a new 15A/250V GMA style fuse. Remember, the fuse holder also includes a space for a spare fuse.

MAINTENANCE
For proper storage, keep your device in a cool area and cover it to prevent dust accumulation. If you plan to store it for extended periods, it’s highly recommended to run the device at least once every 3-4 months. Prolonged inactivity can significantly reduce its lifespan. Always use water-based fog juice in your device; never use plain water, vinegar, or any other liquid solution. Running anything other than water-based fog juice will cause severe damage.
