Set Up Menu:

The setup menu s used to adjust the d fferent parameters of the smoke mach ne.

The MENU button s used to nav gate through those menu opt ons.

• Addr:

Press enter, use the up and down buttons to adjust the DMX address, then press enter to save sett ngs.

• rENo:

Press enter to adjust the sett ngs.

Here you have 5 sett ng: Gear, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, OFF, use the up and down buttons to choose one and

then press enter.

• Gear:

Allows you to use all 4 buttons, A=25% fog output, B=50% Fog output, C=75% output, D=100% fog output,

CH1,CH2,CH3,CH4 by choos ng one of these you can choose what button act vates the fog mach ne at full

output, th s mode s useful when controll ng mult ple un ts from one controller. So by select ng CH1 th s w ll

mean that the smoke mach ne works from button A, CH2 button B and so on.

• NoFU:

Turns the low flu d funct on on and off. When the mach ne s low on flu d the d splay w ll flash. It s a good

deal to leave th s funct on ON(yes) as low flu d n the tank can damage the pump. Press enter and use the up

and down to select yes or no, then press enter aga n.

• Once heated the smoke mach ne can be controlled by 1 channels of DMX, 1=volume output.

Over ead Rigging:

The nstallat on must be carr ed out by a qual f ed eng neer only. Improper nstallat on can result n njur es or

damage to property. Overhead r gg ng requ res exper ence, work ng loads should be adhered to and cert f ed

mater als should be used. The nstalled dev ce should be regularly nspected for safety.

• Make sure the work ng area s clear from people and obstruct ons dur ng r gg ng, de-r gg ng and serv c ng.

• Locate the smoke mach ne n a well vent lated area away from flammable mater als and l qu ds. The smoke

mach ne needs to be 50cm away from surround ng walls and f xtures.

• The smoke mach ne should be nstalled out of reach of people and not where people are seated, walk ng or stand ng.

• When mount ng make sure the nstallat on po nt can take the we ght.

• Make sure a safety cha n or w re s always used and can take the we ght of the smoke mach ne. The safety

bond should not be used as a pr mary support.

• The mach ne should be well f xed and free from sw ng ng.

• Do not cover any vent lat on holes.

• D sconnect the power when the mach ne s not n use.

• The operator must make sure the smoke mach ne has been nstalled correctly to all the necessary

gu del nes before each use. The nstallat on should be nspected every 6 months.

Maintenance:

• Do not allow l qu d to become contam nated. Always replace the cap on the l qu d conta ner mmed ately

after f ll ng.

• After every 40 hours of operat on, or f the un t s not to be used for one month, It s recommended to run a

clean ng solut on of 20% clear v negar and 80% d st lled water through the system to prevent clogg ng n the

heater. Th s should be carr ed out n a well-vent lated room.

• Always empty the flu d and water tanks after every use. Use a dry cloth to w pe down the outs de of the fog

mach ne. Make sure the power cable s d sconnected from the ma ns supply.

• Make sure the ma ns cable s n mpeccable cond t on and should be replaced when a small defect s

detected.

• All other ma ntenance should be carr ed out by a qual f ed eng neer.

DMX BASICS:

• DMX s short for “d g tal mult plexer”, wh ch s a un versal protocol des gned for the enterta nment ndustry.

It allows control of ntell gent f xtures l ke scanners, mov ng heads, LED par cans, d mmer packs & effects

mach nes etc.

• DMX allows you to control many f xture channels, normally up to 512, w th vary ng channels from 0-255 (0-

100%).

• Th s w ll g ve control of channels such as gobo select on, movement, colours, d mm ng and t m ng to name

just a few.

• DMX s a very good system, as all th s nformat on can be sent down one cable. Used n conjunct on w th a

DMX controller w th memory, all of your channel sett ngs can be saved and recalled eas ly.

• DMX was des gned so that all manufacturers can use the same protocol/language to control the r f xtures,

allow ng the end user to use any make of f xture from the r DMX controller as long as both are DMX

compat ble, and the controller has enough channels to control the f xture that s attached.

• F xtures have an nput and output DMX socket, allow ng you to connect from the controller to the f rst

f xture then from that f xture to the next (th s s often referred to as “da sy cha n ng”).

• Sockets are normally 3 p n XLR but can be 5 p n XLR.

DMX f xtures need to have a DMX address set, th s s so they can then decode the correct nformat on from

the controller. Th s s normally done by a d g tal d splay panel, where the address can be changed by s mple

up and down buttons; the address ranges from 1-512. Alternat vely t may be controlled by a row of small

sw tches, called d p sw tches; on th s type system, the requ red address s then converted to a b nary number.

DMX Connector Wiring

3 P n w r ng s more common, but the 5 p n conf gurat on s often used on larger equ pment. W th the 5 p n

conf gurat on, not all p ns are used, though t s worth check ng the f xture manual, as some equ pment use

the extra p ns for low voltage control. 5 P n connectors are deal so there s no confus on over m xer leads and

DMX leads n larger r gs. Send ng a m xers 48v phantom power down a DMX cable could damage the DMX

l ght or f xture.

If mak ng cables, always use su table DMX cable and do not connect p n 1 GND to the outer cas ng of the

connector as you m ght do w th aud o cables, as th s may cause errat c behav our from your f xture.

Do not make “Y” leads to spl t cables to f xtures; always use the n and out sockets or a DMX spl tter, as aga n

th s may cause errat c behav our from your f xture.

We recommend you to plug a DMX term nator nto any f xture that hasn’t got a DMX lead connected from the

output socket to another f xture; Th s aga n s to reduce unexpected behav our. A DMX term nator s s mply a

male XLR plug w th 120 ohm, ¼ watt res stor soldered across p n 2 & 3.

Each f xture takes up 5 DMX Channels (See Above)

You have a cable from the controller to the f rst f xture cable, then from f rst to second and so on. The last

l ght then has a DMX term nator plugged n.

F xture 1 would be set to DMX address 1

F xture 2 would be set to DMX address 6

F xture 3 would be set to DMX address 11

F xture 4 would be set to DMX address 16

When sett ng these addresses, ensure that the f xture addresses dont overlap. You can set two f xtures to the

same address as long as they have the same channel layout, they w ll then perform n the same way.

We recommend you to read manuals for your DMX f xture and controller n full. Some controllers tell you

what each f xture address needs to be, and some equ pment w ll need other sett ngs changed before they w ll

work.
