Thank you for choosing Antari’s DNG-250 Low Fog Generator. The machine has some
terrific new features on top of the ones of its previous version DNG-200. With the 3.5
TFT color touch panel, users can operate more easily. The dimension is exactly the same
as DNG-200, but the output volume and continuity are comprehensively increased,
hence a total up-grate in performance. No CO2is needed for DNG-250 Low Fog
Generator; therefore, there’s no risk to human body nor environment. DNG-250 is a real
green effect machine.
Please follow these operation, safety and maintenance instructions to ensure a longer
and safe life of your DNG-250 Low Fog Generator.
Pay attention to all warning labels and instructions printed on the exterior of the machine.

Unpacking and Inspection
Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system
has arrived intact. If any shortage or damage due to transportation, please contact your
Antari dealer and send back with original packaging for inspection. The shipping carton
should contain the following items:
.
-DNG-250 Low Fog Generator
-Two power cords for connecting to Neutrik PowerCon connectors.
-3M fog conducting hose
-User's manual (item 2-4 placed in the compartment on the top of the machine)
-Water collection tray (preinstalled in the machine)
-3M PU tube, 6mmØ
Setup
The wheels at the bottom of the DNG-250 help to move the machine; wheel fixing
mechanisms are located at the diagonal line. Position the machine at a spot, press
down the fixing mechanism to prevent it from moving. To move the machine, press
the opposite side of the fixing mechanism to release it. Please note that the machine

5
is not allowed to place on a slope due to its big size. (refer to figure 1)
Please aim the key on the PowerCon terminal of the power cord to the slot of the
connector on the machine, plug it in and turn it about 10° clockwise until the power
cord is completely fixed. The upper power cord is for the fog generator and the bottom
one is for the compressor. (refer to figure 2 and 3)
 Before connecting the machine to power supply, make sure to check the needed
voltage and watt indicated on the metal plate of the machine.
Connect the machine with the black fog conducting hose; it is a three-meter pipe. The
length of the pipe can be adjusted to fit the actual need. (refer to figure 4)
Fill Antari FLL Low Fog Effects Fluid to the tank, tighten the tank cap. (refer to figure
5)

4-1 RDM (Remote Device Management) Function
DNG-250 is equipped with RDM function which allows users to control the
unit through devices with RDM ANSI E1.20 protocol. This is a protocol
enhancement that allows bi-directional communication between a controller
and attached RDM compliant devices over a standard DMX line. Users may
set, monitor and manage the RDM supported devices and equipment in DMX
network.

Other important notes
5-1A water collection tray is equipped at the rear of DNG-250. When the compressor
is running for condensed fog, some water drops will flow into the tray. Please
check the water level of the tray routinely and drain it on time to prevent overflow.
(refer to figure 6).
5-2If the machine is to be used for a long time or the water drops cannot be checked
momentarily, the water collection tray can be removed and a 6 mm PU hose can
be connected to the water draining hole located at the top of the water collection
tank to directly drain out the water drops. After completing the draining, push up

13
the upper red button to remove the hose. (refer to figure 7)
5-3 A black square metal mesh is located at the back of the machine. This is the air
inlet of the fan. Please do not block the inlet and clean it routinely to keep the
cleanness.
5-4 If the fog volume is too low, the machine generates noise during operation or the
fog cannot be smoothly sprayed, please turn off the power immediately and check
if the fog fluid is sufficient, whether the external fuse, controller connection or power
supply has any problem. If none of the above shows any problem, insert the power
plug again. If the machine still cannot normally operate, please check whether the
hose connecting to the fog fluid tank is blocked, and if any fluid is flowing. If the
cause cannot be identified, please do not allow the machine to operate to avoid
damage. Turn off the machine Immediately and let it cool down. Please contact an
Antari dealer or a designated service center. Do not disassemble the machine by
yourself.
5-5 After using the DNG-250 for a long time, there may be residue on the floor which
could be a possible cause of danger. Please note the material of the floor and pay
special attention to the safety of persons walking on it.
5-6 The DNG-250 Low Fog Generator does not use dry ice. It is very environmental
friendly and safe. However, the output fog is easily to be blown away by wind.
Please note the air flow’s impact from fan or air conditioner.

Maintenance of the Machine
6-1Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair
charges.
6-2 Do not allow the fog fluid to become contaminated. The cap should be on the tank
at all times.
6-3 Prior to storing the machine for a longer period, clean it and drain all fog fluid from
the tank. Disconnect and store the fog pipe and power cord. Store the machine and
all parts into the parts tank located at front of the machine. Warm up the machine
once a month, to protect it from moisture.
6-4 Store the machine cool and dry.

1本使用說明書（2 – 4 項 放置在機器前上方的儲存盒中）
1個集水盤（已安裝在機器上）
1條6 mm PU 管3 公尺
安裝機器的步驟
步驟 1：DNG-250 底部的輪子可以協助移動，對角線上的輪子置有固定器，將機器放置在定點，壓下固定
器以固定機器避免滑動(參考圖ㄧ)，需要移動機器時，只要在反方向壓下將固定器鬆開即可移動器。
(機器週圍至少保持 1公尺以上的空間)
注意!由於機器體積龐大，請勿將機器固定於斜坡上。

17
步驟 2：將電源線帶有 Powercon 的一端連結機器(請確認電源開關在關閉/ OFF 的情況下)，請將卡榫對準
機器連接座凹槽，插入後順時針旋轉約 10 度(參考圖二)，將電源線完全固定為止。兩條電源線都
需要照此步驟安裝好，上方的電源線是供應煙霧機的電源，下方的電源是供應壓縮機的電源。(參考
圖二、三)
●將機器連接電源之前，請確認機器上技術銘版上標示所需的電壓及功率，是否與電源相符。
步驟 3：結合機器與黑色煙霧導管，此煙霧導管長度為三米，可依照實際需要長度伸縮使用。(參考圖四)
