HZ-400 Haze Machine – Antari Lighting And Effects User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing an Antari Haze Machine. You now own a rugged and powerful state-of-the-art machine. Prior to use, we suggest that you carefully read all of the instructions. By following the suggestions found in this user manual, you can look forward to the best, virtually invisible haze effect and reliable, satisfactory performance of your Antari Hazer for years to come.
Please follow these operation and safety instructions to ensure a long and safe life for your hazer.

Danger of Burn

No user serviceable and modifying parts inside. Do not attempt to open the upper housing cover and modify, in order to reduce burn risks.

• For adult use only. Hazer must be installed out of the reach of children. Never leave the unit running unattended.
• Position the haze machine in a well-ventilated area. Please leave about 20cm of space surrounding the machine.
• Never aim the machine at open flames or close to flammable items.
• Never add flammable liquids of any kind (oil, gas, perfume) to the haze liquid.
• Use only dealer recommended Antari high-quality HAZE liquid (HZL). Please do not use any other liquid which may cause erosion of inner parts.
• If your Antari Hazer fails to work properly, stop use immediately. Drain all haze liquid from the tank, pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your ANTARI dealer for service.
• Please note before sending the machine for transporting purpose, make sure the liquid inside the tank is fully emptied.
• Never drink haze liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor immediately. If haze liquid comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Pay attention to all warning labels and instructions printed on the exterior of your Antari Hazer

Unpacking & Inspection

Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system has arrived intact. Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI Hazer, make sure that there is no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit’s housing or cable is damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your Antari dealer for assistance.

Setup

1. Remove all packing materials from the shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed.
2. Place hazer on a flat surface and remove haze liquid tank cap.
3. Your hazer may come with a standard Timer remote HC-1 or Wireless HCR-1 remote (except HZ-100, which will come separately). If you will be controlling your unit remotely, firmly attach the remote control cable to the proper position.

Operation

1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug power cord to a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Set the power switch to “ON” on the back of the machine. Make sure that the red indicator light is on.
3. Remove the black liquid tank cap, pour haze liquid into the liquid tank about 1/2 full, be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL. Use only dealer-recommended high-quality haze liquid. Any other types of fluid may cause health hazard and damage the unit. Use of any other liquid will result in a voided warranty.
4. Connect the remote controller to the unit, press the red button ON/OFF to start up the unit. (For further information on operating (including DMX) your Antari HZ-100 and 400 Hazer, see the section titled, ”Remote Control Operation”).
5. There’s an adjustable nozzle blade where you can adjust the angle of the haze output by adjusting the thumb screws indicated below.
   
   Antari HZ-100 and HZ-400 Haze machines produce safe, dry, clean, and virtually invisible haze when used with HZL-1 Haze liquid with an extremely long hanging time.
   For ideal results, haze when touch-up is needed.

Caution

1. Always monitor and make sure that there is sufficient HZL liquid inside the tank during operation.

2. Pour haze liquid into the liquid tank about 1/2 full, be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL. The extra 1/2 tank space is reserved for air-flow purposes. Overfilling will cause an unbalance in air pressure which will affect the haze liquid to flow back to the compressor and may lead to damage of the compressor unit.

3. When the machine is operated for a longer period of time under open-air conditions, falling dust/debris can enter the machine and may create residue inside the muffler of the compressor. It will clog the filtration fibre on the muffler. Contact an authorized Antari dealer to replace a new muffler only (please note that the old muffler is unable to be use repeatedly after washing or brushing). Long term use of the unit which has excessive residue on the muffler may cause an unsteady operation of the compressor.
   It may even cause danger of burn under serious conditions.

4. If you have followed the above operation steps, and you still experience low output, mechanical noise or no output at all, unplug the unit immediately from the mains. Check the fluid level, the external fuse, the remote control connection, and the power cable from the wall. If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If the hazer still does not function, discontinue operation or it may result in permanent damage to the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer. Always drain tank before mailing or transporting this unit.

Remote Control Operation

HC-1:10 meter wired multi-function remote controller with ¼” stereo plug.

Connect the unit to the mains; set the power switch on which is at the rear of the machine. Press the red button (CONTROL ON/OFF), the red indicator light will be on at the same time. This means the haze machine is ready to operate.
Keep the green button (HAZE) pressed; the unit will produce continuous haze output.
Release the button to stop output. During this time, the red button (CONTROL ON/OFF) is kept pressed while the red indicator light is still on.

Press the yellow button (TIMER ON/OFF) to activate the timer function for the knobs DURATION and INTERVAL located on the top of the controller. Adjust the interval between each haze emission (within the range from 10 to 200 seconds) by means of the INTERVAL control knob. Adjust the duration of each haze emission (within the range of 5 to 100 seconds) by means of the DURATION control knob.

HCR-1: Wireless remote controller with ¼” stereo plug for Antari Hazer models HZ-100 and HZ-400. Attach the receiver’s magnetic base to the hazer. Plug the receiver’s cable into the hazer’s remote control input. Using the sending unit, your Antari Hazer can be operated from a distance about 50 meters when under no obstruction. Start haze emission by pressing the small button on the sending unit. Stop haze emission by pressing the large button. Multiple Antari Hazers may be controlled using only one sending unit.

*The control of the master unit will override all other controllers when connecting the haze machine via DMX

DMX Connector Pin Assignment

The machine HZ-400 provides 3 pin XLR connector for DMX connection. The diagram below indicates pin assignment information.

DMX Operation

HZ-400 has DMX control on-board. It uses 1 channel to control volume output operation. Each channel has a value range of 0 to 255. The DMX channel is set on the rear panel of the HZ-400 by setting the dip switches to the desired channel.

If Channel A has a value from 0 to 5, the unit is OFF.

Channel A

6-255 = ON
0-5 = OFF

Between the values 6 to 255 , the unit is ON. 100% Output.
Note: The controls HC-1 and HCR-1 will be disabled when the hazer is in DMX mode.

HAZE Liquid

Antari HZL-1 haze liquid was designed for the use with Antari hazers HZ-100 and HZ400. Antari HZL-1 is a non-toxic solution that produces a pure, translucent haze with extremely long hang time and low moisture, perfect for HZ-100 and HZ-400.
Important: Never mix oil-based and water-based haze liquids. Before switching the kind of haze liquid in use, completely drain the hazer’s tank to avoid mixing.
