Installation
Remove all packing materials from the Antari IP-1500. Check if all foam and plastic padding is removed,
especially in the fog output area.
Use with fog liquid (ordercodes: 60603, 60629, 60637)or other high-quality fog liquid. Any other types of
liquid can damage the unit.
The unit can also be operated at floor level or sitting on any regular surface as well.
If the unit is to be mounted using the bracket, it is important that the fog does not shoot directly at
anybody’s face. Therefore, do not point the output in a direction that will aim directly at a person.
Whatever installation method you choose, the unit must always be placed in horizontal position.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Set Up and Operation
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.
Note: Always monitor fog tank level liquid indicator when making fog!
Note: Be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL!
Note: Running a fog machine with no fog liquid can permanently damage the unit!
PU pipe installation
01) Place the Antari on a flat surface.
02) Remove the screw from the fog fluid input (06).
03) Slide the included PU pipe through the hole in the screw and reattach the screw with the pipe to the
input. Make sure that the pipe is fitted properly.
