Fluid level sensor is installed on the unit. The machine ‘s pump will automatically
stop working if the fluid is lower than usable level. It will re-start when
temperature reaches working level Always monitor tank fluid level as you are
operating making sure there’s sufficient liquid in the tank..

Of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit again. If fog does not come out, check
the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose. If you
are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue pushing the
remote button, as this may damage the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer.

All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. This may result in some
moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, gently wipe it clean. If
abnormal condensation is detected, please check your choice of fog liquid due to impurity.
Kindly stop using to ensure life span of the machine.
7
Maintenance / Storage
Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the fog
liquid container and the fog machine liquid tank immediately after filling. Do not operate
the fog machine without liquid at any time.
Clean with a dry cloth only. Store dry. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help
reduce costly replacement and repair charges.
Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid
and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. It is strongly recommended that to
do regular maintenance and services. A properly maintained fog machine should
provide years of reliable use.
It is strongly recommended to test-run the machine on a monthly basis in order to
achieve its best fogging condition. A test-run consists of warming up the machine
followed by a few minutes of emission. Then please cool down the machine.
Please read and save these instructions.

Antari M-5 & M-10 on-board DMX settings
The fog machines M-5 & M-10 have on-board D MX control. They use 2
channels to control volume output operation. Channel A has a value range of
0 to 255 and Channel B has a range of 251 to 255. Timer functions such as
duration and interval can be programmed via the DMX controller or the DMX
control software used by the lighting and effects operator.
Channel A (Volume Control)
If Channel A has a value from 0 to 5, the unit is OFF.
Between the values 6 to 255, the output will be linear. With 6 being the
minimum volume of fog produced and 255 approaching the maximum. The
volume output rises as the DMX value is increased.
Channel B (Nonstop Burst)
If Channel B has a value from 251 to 255, the machine will operate with
Nonstop Burst (Continuous fogging). In this mode, the unit automatically
adjusts itself and produces a large amount of fog. It requires no reheating
period and produces fog continuously.
Function Priority
When Channel A is set to a value between 6 to 255 and Channel B is set
between 251 to 255 at the same time, Channel B will override Channel A and
the unit is in Nonstop Burst mode.
Addressing Example
If the unit is assigned to DMX address 124 e.g., Channel A corresponds to
DMX address 124 and D MX address 125 will automatically be selected for
Channel B.
The Antari fog machines M-5 & M-10 with on-board DMX conform to the
following performance specifications:
1.Average Operating temperature=250°C
2.Continuous fog output is available by selecting “Nonstop Burst” under the
Function sub-menu “Volume Out” or by setting the DMX address between
251-255 in channel B.
