Location
Select a location where it is easy to fill the tank. It is also possible to hang the unit by means of the supplied holder and fixing screws.
Installation and Use
Unpack the fog machine. Do not connect yet the net cable. Connect the remote control to the connector on the back of the fogger. Fill the fluid tank by means of a funnel. Fill the ice tray with ordinary ice. Close the drain valve. (Once the ice has melted, you can drain the water here.) When the machine is filled with ice, the lid can be closed.
Attention: Drain the water, and melted ice regularly. (approximately every 45 minutes). Plug the unit into a mains outlet. Thus the heating element is automatically switched on.  Depending on the room temperature, it takes about 8 minutes until the working temperature is reached. Then the thermostat is clicking and the LED on the manual control lights up. Push the switch once and the smoke machine will produce a nice thick fog. Once the smoke machine has reached its working temperature (the LED is lit) the smoke machine can produce fog for a while. After this period of time, the fog generator is cooled so much that the thermostat switches off. Wait a while until the working temperature is reached again. It is recommended to produce smoke with small pauses in between so that the temperature is maintained and the thermostat doesn’t switch off.
Make sure that there is always enough liquid smoke contained in the tank. The use of the smoke machine without liquid can permanently damage the unit. Once the smoke machine generates little smoke or the pump generates another ‘rattling’ sound I turn off the unit directly. Check the fluid level and fill the tank when it is empty, check the hose and filter blockages, and restore it. Plug in the unit and check if the problem is resolved. If the problem persists, switch the unit direct off to prevent further damage and contact your dealer.
Switching the unit off
Switch the unit off by unplugging it from the mains. Otherwise, the 1800W heating element will draw unnecessary current.

Timer remote control
Connect the remote control to the connector on the back of the fogger.
After some warm-up time, the device is ready for use, the LED will light up on the remote. During use, it may happen that the machine stops, in this case, the LED will go out, indicating that the machine is warming up.
Timer function:
Press the yellow button and set the interval, duration, and volume control to the desired level.
Interval: time between the smoke moments (10-200 seconds)
Volume: the amount of smoke (0-100%)
Duration: duration of the smoking time
Continuous function:
Press the red button and set the volume to the desired level. The machine will continuously produce an amount of smoke. It may be that the machine in between has to warm up, during this period no smoke is produced. How many times this is done depends on the amount of smoke.
Manual Mode:
Press the green button to produce 100% smoke immediately; this button overrides all previous settings.
DMX control
Connect the device directly to a DMX controller or a DMX loop with multiple DMX effects. The machine has a 3-pin XLR connector for DMX connection.
The machine needs 1 DMX channel to function:

Address Setup:
Use the DIP switch on the rear panel to set the start address. The base/start address is defined as the first channel, that was responsive to the device. Check if no overlapping channels are used!

Switch dip 10 on to activate the addressing Set the desired address with the remaining 9 dips

Note:
It is necessary always lock a DMX loop with a 120 Ohm terminator for correct data transmission.
ICE cooling: A 1800W professional ice fogger uses ice to cool the smoke producing a heavy fog that creeps along the floor. Suitable for various venues, live performance stages, and theatres. Equipped with a high-quality heating element and a large fluid tank. Supplied with remote control

Maintenance

Refilling the fluid reservoir should be done carefully. Remove the plug from the mains first! Then unscrew the cap of the reservoir and fill it by means of a suitable funnel. Use only the original Beamz smoke liquid. This fluid is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and leaves no residue when used correctly. Make sure the smoke liquid to become contaminated, close the cap of the liquid smoke can, and after filling the tank right. After 40 hours, the smoke machine must be cleaned to avoid deposits in the machine, pump, and heater.
