1. Procedure of the Tiny CX
The Tiny CX is a battery-powered, microprocessor-controlled mini fog generator. It
is based (as most fog generators are) on the vaporizer principle, i.e. a glycol fluid is
evaporated and condenses into fog when leaving the fog nozzle. However, the Tiny
CX only heats when fog is actually produced.
The machine switches off automatically after approx. one minute. Thus, the electronics
of the Tiny CX does not use any current.
If the receiver of the radio remote is connected to the machine, some current will
be needed. Please note: Thus, the battery can be destroyed by completely discharging
and cannot be used anymore!
Generally the battery must be disconnected and regularly recharged (at least
every 6 months) if the machine will be not in use or stored for a longer period.
When emitting fog a strong current of 5 to 6 A runs with peak levels of 12 to 13 A.
The following sequence produces fog:
a) Warm up (1 second, without pumping fluid).
b) The pump runs
c) Post-run mode (15 seconds to vaporize the fluid remaining in the vaporizer).
In the post-run mode the fogging process can be started via the start button in the
lid or via the start button on the cable remote or radio remote.

A fog machine is not a toy!

• Occasionallyveryhotdropletsofuidmayescapewheninoperation.
Thus never aim at persons directly and keep a minimum distance of 10 ft from the

• Nevertouchthenozzlewheninoperation.Dangerofgettingburnt.
• The location for the machine must be non-ammable, non-combustible and not
sensitive to heat. It has to be twice as big as the machine.

Artificially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method used here
to produce fog, with a device which works according to the vaporizer principle, is the
most harmless one.
Nocasehassofarbeenreportedinwhichahealthyhumanbeinghasbeenharmed
because of using our device to produce artificial fog. However, this can only be gua-
ranteed if the professional fog generators are used appropiately, i.e. at the correct
vaporization temperatures as well as with the correctly mixed fog fluid.
We, however, recommend: People with health problems or problems of the re-
spiratory tract or with an inclination for allergies should avoid any contact with
artificially-made fog.

4. Fluid
The Tiny CX is built to be used with original Look Tiny-Fluid. Use of other liquids will
clog the vaporizer and void the warranty
Note: If the Tiny CX will not be in use for a long period, please empty the fluid tank
and pour the fluid back into the original fluid bottle.
4.1 General
The location for the Tiny CX must
• bedry
• guaranteesufcientairsupply
• havesufcientdistance(atleast3ft)frominammablematerials
• haveverylittlevibration
• haveanambientoperatingtemperaturebetween40°Fand115°F
• havearelativeairhumidityoflessthan80%.
5.1 Selecting the Location
5.2 Mounting the Tiny CX
If the Tiny CX is to be built into props or similar, make sure that a fog-free air supply
is guaranteed. Too high a fog concentration can condense inside the machine and can
result in damages caused by moisture.
When installing the Tiny CX make sure that
• nofogispassedbackintothefoggenerator,
• nocondenseduidrunsintotheapparatus,
• theairvents[1]arenotcoveredorconcealed,
• noobjectsprotrudeintothefognozzle[2].Thismaydestroythevaporizer.
5. Operating the Tiny CX
5.3 Starting up
a) Pour the Tiny-Fluid into the fluid tank and firmly close the lid. Check the cleanliness
of the fluid tank, so that no dirt (fluff etc.) can be sucked in by the pump. Even the
smallest impurity immediately leads to clogging of the machine.
b) Insert the battery into the machine until it clicks into place.

5.4 Programming a fixed fogging time
(only if an optional cable remote or radio remote is supplied)
For some applications it will be useful to program in a fixed fog amount, which can
be easily reproduced later.
The shortest fog time is pre-programmed. If a new fog time is programmed, the pre-
programmed fog time will be deleted.
a) Insert the battery and connect the cable remote or the receiver of the radio remote
to the machine.
b)Pressandholdthestartbuttoninthemachineslid[4].Whentherequestedfogging
time is reached, press and release the start button at the cable remote or one of
the buttons at the transmitter of the radio remote to confirm the fogging period.
Nowthefoggingtimeissavedandthestartbuttoninthemachineslid[4]canbe
released.
5.4.1 Programming the fogging time
The microprocessor saves the fogging time and this programmed fogging time can
now be recalled by pressing the start button on the cable remote or at the transmitter
Todisconnectthebattery,pullthetwosilverpusher[7]atthesidesofthemachine
coeval in the direction of the fluid tank. The battery unlocks and slides out.
Please note: To avoid complete discharge of the battery during long storage periods,
the battery has to be disconnect from the machine and has to be recharged regularly
(at least every 6 months)!
c) Pressthestartbuttoninthelidofthemachine[4].Afterapprox.1secondtheunit
generates fog as long as the button is hold.
If you would like to control the machine via the cable remote or radio remote (both
as an option), connect the control cable for the remote or the receiver of the radio
remote to the machine. You can start the fogging process by pressing the start button
at the cable remote or radio remote.
Caution: Do not put anything into the fog nozzle. This may destroy the vaporizer and
it then has to be changed.
If the Tiny CX is not generating fog, the machine switches off automatically after
approx.1minute.TheyellowLED[5]doesnotlightanymore.Themachinecanstillbe
activated at any time by pressing the start button in the machines lid, the cable remote
or the radio remote.

5.5 Battery Status Display
TheyellowLED[5]ontheTiny C07 indicates (among other things (see point 7.2))
how strong the battery still is and/or when it may need to be recharged.
1) LED flashes slowly:

2) LED flashes fast:
Batterycapacitybelow15%–thebatteryshouldbechangedand/orcharged.
3) LED lights up permanently:
The battery is flat
of the radio remote (option) momentarily provided no new fogging period has been
programmed in or not.
The programmed fogging time cannot be recalled by pressing the start button in
the machines lid [4]. If the start button in the lid is pressed, the Tiny CX will produce
fog as long as the button is held down, regardless of whether a fogging time has been
programmed in.
5.4.2 Deleting a programmed fogging time
The programmed fogging time can be deleted in the following way. Therefor insert
the battery and connect the cable remote or the receiver of the radio remote to the
machine.
• Pressthestartbuttoninthemachineslid[4]momentarilyandpressthestartbutton
on the cable remote or the transmitter of the radio remote for confirmation. The
programmed fogging time is now deleted.
