arrived intact.
Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI Fazer Machine, make sure that there is no evident
damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit's housing or cable is damaged, do not

-Packaging
The shipping carton should include the following items:

2. X-10PRO Control module
3. Fluid tank
4. User manual

Optional Accessories:
1. X-30PRO Wireless Control Module
2. FX-310 X-310PRO Flightcase
-Setup
1. Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic padding is
removed, especially in the nozzle area.
2. Place fog machine on a flat surface and remove fog liquid tank cap.
3. Fill with only Antari Fog Fluid. Antari X-310PRO Fazer only works with uncontaminated Antari
FLG Fog Fluid. Other fluids may cause spitting and serious clogging problem and could result
in the production of an unhealthful fog. The use of other fluids will void the warranty of the
Antari X-310PRO Fazer. When filled, place cap back on liquid tank.
-Operation
1. The plug is at a position that is accessible when the machine is in use.
2. Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn power switch on rear of unit to "
ON" position. Warm-up is complete after approx. 8 minutes when the display on the control
module indicates "Ready to Fazer”.
3. To emit fog, please set the desired settings on your X-10PRO Control Module for interval,
duration, and press the appropriate button on the control module for the desired
length of time.
4. The control unit's display will cycle "Warming up" and "Ready to Fazer" while the machine
re-heats to the proper operating temperature.
5. When the fluid is running low, the LED inside the tank chamber starts blinking for two minutes
and then stops the operation to protect the pump from running dry.
6. The “Fanleaf” design can be adjusted by the pump-type screws on both sides to position the
faze output angle. In general, the haze produced from the X-310PRO Fazer is
semi-transparent due to fan spread. Thus, it is best to position it on the low ground and let it
produce haze upwardly to have ideal coverage.
7. For further information on operating your ANTARI X-310PRO Fazer, see the section titled,
"Control Module Operation" on page 4.
Caution: "Visibility during operation is reduced"
Important:
Always monitor tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running a fog machine with no fluid can
permanently damage the pump.
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check fluid level,
the external fuse, control module connection, and power from the wall. If all of the above appears
to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If fog does not come out after holding the button down for

30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose.

control module button, as this may damage the unit. Return the machine to your ANTARI dealer
immediately.

transmitter is compatible to any receiver of the X-30PRO and can control an unlimited number of
machines in parallel.

Press the button “A”, to emit fog. The button “A” has the same function as the button VOLUME on
the control panel, i.e. the fog output depends on the setting of menu item »Volume Out«. The
display indicates »Volume« followed by the defined value or »NON STOP BURST« when continuous
fog output was selected. To stop the fog output, press the button “B”.
* Receiver:
The receiver is tested and pre-attached to the panel of each Z-30PRO. Please do not try to remove
it. The receiver responds to up to 5 different transmitters that are registered with the machine. The
included transmitter has been registered to the machine before shipment. It can be directly
operated without any start-up setting.
-Registering transmitters
To operate the machine with a different transmitter than the included one, or to operate it with up
to 5 different transmitters, each transmitter must be registered first. For this purpose, turn on the
machine. When the display indicates »Wireless Setup«, press the button “A” 1 second on each
transmitter. Thus the previous transmitters are cleared from the memory of the receiver. The
setting must be completed within 15 seconds after switching on the machine. Then the machine
will automatically exit the transmitter setting mode. The display shows »Wireless Setup OK«. At
this point, no further transmitter can be added.
If no transmitter is registered when the machine is switched on, the memory of the receiver will
keep the record of the previous operation.
Setting Example 1:
In order to register several transmitters with a machine, turn on the machine. When the display
indicates »Wireless Setup«, press the button “A” 1 second on each transmitter within 15 seconds
to establish the signal transmission.
Setting Example 2:

10
In order to use 1 transmitter to control 2 or more machines, turn on the machines respectively.
When the displays indicate »Wireless Setup«, press the button “A” 1 second on the transmitter
within 15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.
-Battery change on the transmitter
If the range of the transmitter decreases, the battery is probably exhausted and must be replaced.
For this purpose, take off the housing cover and remove the used battery. Insert a fresh DC 12V
battery as indicated in the battery compartment and refit the housing cover.
Switching the wireless function on and off
Press the button FUNCTION until the display indicates »Wireless On«. Use the buttons UP and
DOWN to deactivate the wireless function (indication »Wireless Off«) and to reactivate it
(indication »Wireless On«).
Note: When warming-up process is completed and wireless function is activated the
