3
․Use only dealer recommended Antari high-quality hazer liquid (HZL). Please do not
use any other liquid which may cause erosion of inner parts.
․If your Antari Hazer fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Drain all
hazer liquid from the tank, pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing
material), and return it to your ANTARI dealer for service.
․Please note before sending the machine for transporting purpose, make sure the
liquid inside the tank is fully emptied.
․Never drink hazer liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor immediately. If hazer liquid
comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Pay attention to all warning labels and instructions printed on the exterior of your Antari
Hazer
•Unpacking & Inspection
Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system
has arrived intact. Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI Hazer, 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 plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting
your Antari dealer for assistance.
•Setup
1. Remove all packing materials from the shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic
padding is removed.
2. Place hazer on a flat surface and remove hazer liquid tank cap.
3. Your hazer may come with standard Timer remote HC-1 or Wireless HCR-1 remote
(except HZ-100, which will come separately). If you will be controlling your unit
remotely, firmly attach the remote control cable to the proper position.
•Operation
1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Set the power switch to “ON” on the back of the machine. Make sure that the red
indicator light is on.
3. Remove the black liquid tank cap, pour hazer liquid into the liquid tank about 1/2 full,
be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL. Use only
dealer-recommended high-quality hazer liquid . Any other types of fluid may cause
health hazard and damage the unit. Use of any other liquid may void warranty.
4. Connect the remote controller to the unit, press the red button ON/OFF to start up the
unit. (For further information on operating (including DMX) your Antari HZ-100, 300,
and 400 Hazer, see the section titled, ”Remote Control Operation”).
5. There’s an adjustable nozzle blade where you can adjust the angle of the haze output
by adjusting the thumb screws indicated below:

Antari HZ-100, HZ-300 and HZ-400 Haze machines produce safe, dry clean and virtually
invisible haze when used with HZL-1 Haze liquid with an extremely long hanging time.
For ideal results, haze when touch-up is needed.
•Caution
1. Always monitor and make sure that there is sufficient HZL liquid inside the tank during
operation.
2. Pour hazer liquid into the liquid tank about 1/2 full, be careful not to exceed the
maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL. The extra 1/2 tank space is reserved for
air-flow purpose. Overfilling will cause the unbalance in air pressure which will affect
the haze liquid to flow back to the compressor and may lead damage of the
compressor unit.
3. When the machine is operated for a longer period of time under open-air conditions,
falling dust/debris can enter the machine and may create residue inside the muffler of
the compressor. It will clog the filtration fibre on the muffler. Contact an authorized
Antari dealer to replace a new muffler only (please note that the old muffler is unable to
use repeatedly after washing or brushing). Long term use of the unit which has the
build-up residue on the muffler may cause an unsteady operation of the compressor. It
may even cause danger of burn under serious conditions.
4. If you have followed the above operation steps, and you still experience low output,
mechanical noise or no output at all, unplug the unit immediately from the mains.
Check the fluid level, the external fuse, the remote control connection, and the power
cable from the wall. If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If the
hazer still does not function, discontinue operation or it may result in permanent
damage to the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer. Always drain tank
before mailing or transporting this unit.

•DMX Operation
The units HZ-300 and HZ-400 have on-board DMX control. These models use 1
channel to control volume output operation. Each channel has a value range of 0 to
255. The DMX channel is set on the rear panel of the HZ-300 and HZ-400 by setting
the dip switches to the desired channel.
If Channel A has a value from 0 to 5, the unit is OFF.
Between the values 6 to 255 the volume of fog output is regulated. With 6 being
the minimum volume of fog produced and 255 approaching the maximum. The
volume output rises as the DMX value is increased.
Note: The controls HC-1 and HCR-1 will be disabled when the hazer is in DMX mode.
•Hazer Liquid
Antari HZL-1 haze liquid was designed for the use with Antari hazers HZ-100, HZ-300,
and HZ-400. Antari HZL-1 is a non-toxic solution that produces a pure, translucent haze
with extremely long hang time and low moisture, perfect for HZ-100, HZ-300 and
HZ-400.
Important: Never mix oil-based and water-based hazer liquids. Before switching the
kind of hazer liquid in use, completely drain the hazer’s tank to avoid mixing.
