FILL IN SPARK FABRICA GRANULE

Spark Fabrica Granule is the consumable specially designed for spark machine, to simulate cold fountain fire-works effect for stage.

• Tear the vacuum package of granule, and fill in the Spark Fabrica Granule through the granule filling port on th top of the machine.
• Fill the consumable into the feed port, NOT into the output nozzle.
• Close the lid securely after filling.
• The capacity of storage bin is 150g.
  

WARNING
Make sure to fill the Spark Fabrica Granule through the feed port on the top of the fixture when power supply is off.

WARNING
Wear eye protection to avoid eye injury while filling granules and testing spark machine(s).

CONNECT THE MACHINE

• Connect power and DMX signal line.
• Connect the first machine’s power plug.
• Connect the other machines in series with the power cable.
• Connect the other machines in series with DMX connection line.
• Connect PYRO SIM CONTROLLER or DMX512 controller.

WARNING Do not use damaged power plug and power cable.One power plug is recommended to connect 4 units in series at most for this product.

CAUTION Please attach the configured 120 ohm terminal resistor to the outlet of the last machine to enhance the anti-interference of the machine.

CAUTION Please calculate all products’ total current required according to the power supply and fuse parameters of the products.

NOTICE The standard length of the power connection line and the signal connection line is 3 meters, and a longer length can be reached by connecting in series.

INITIAL SETTING

• Turn on power
• Check the machine status icon(refer to icon introductions of 3.3)

CAUTION
When the icon shows yellow, it indicates that the machine is abnormal. Please use it after asking the professional to check and repair the machine.

The sparking temperature of the machine is the factory default temperature. The product will heat up automatically when disconnected with DMX signal.Automatic heating function can be set to on or off, and the concrete operation please refer to “3.2 MENU SETTING”.

When spark machines connect DMX signal, the heating function can be started only on the Sim Pyro Console.

SET CHANNEL MODE

This machine has 2 channel mode and 3 channel mode, the specific setting please refer to “3.2 MENU SETTING”.

SET DMX ADDRESS

Please set DMX address according to channel mode:

• In the 2 channel mode, please set spark machines’ DMX address to 1.3.5.7
• In the 3 channel mode, please set spark machines’ DMX address to 1.4.7.10

NOTICE Please do not set address code repeatedly.

START TO SPARK

The machine can be controlled by Pyro Sim Controller console or DMX512 console.

TURN ON THE CONSOLE’ POWER

TURN ON HEATING FUNCTION

NOTICE
The heating function of the second channel DMX value is 240-255, and it takes about 5 minutes to preheat after turning on.

NOTICE
When heating is turned on, the indicator light on the machine will turn to red, and the indicator light flashes green to indicate that the machine is heating.

NOTICE
Heating will complete after the indicator light turns green for a long time, and the spark machine will enter sparking status.

NOTICE
When using the Pyro Sim Controller controller,the screen will display the real-time temperature of each machine. When the temperature value of the control board turns green, it means that the heating is completed and the machine enters the status of sparking.

ADJUST SPARKING HEIGHT

Adjust sparking height through the first channel, and the height adjustment values is DMX parameter values 11-255.

WARNING
Do Not touch the sparks or put finger in the output nozzle.

WARNING
During heating up and operation, do not touch the housing.

WARNING
Keep a minimum distance of 10 ff (3 m) from the machine to the nearest human or flamma-ble material. And make sure no falling residue fly to flammable material.

WARNING
The maximum height of indoor and outdoor granule is different. The maximum height of indoor granule is 3.5 meters, while outdoor granule is 5 meters.

NOTICE
If spark machines are affected by wind, sparking height will be reduced, sparking direction will also be affected by the wind and inclined.

NOTICE
The proper firefighting extinguishers are recommended as follows:Any type of sand or substance that can suffocate the active metals.Class “D” Fire Extinguishers for Metal Substance Fires,

ADJUST SPARKING DENSITY

This product has independent sparking density adjustment function. Machine’s sparking density can be controlled during sparking, which can offer you more special effects choices for show.

NOTICE
The third channel is density adjustment channel, and the density is 30-100%. The default sparking density is 100%, and the density adjustment parameter values are 0-255. 0 means 100% density, and bigger DMX number means lower density.

SPARK THROUGH REMOTE CONTROLLER
