Important Safeguards
Danger of Electric Shock
Danger of Burns
!Keep this device dry.
!For inside use only. Not designed for outside use.
!For the 110V models, use 3-prong grounded electrical
outlet only. Prior to use take care to determine that the
unit is installed at the rated voltage.
!Always unplug your ANTARI Fog Machine before filling
its tank.
!Keep fog machine upright.
!Unplug the machine when not in use.
!This machine is not water- or splash-proof. If
moisture, water, or fog liquid gets inside the housing,
immediately unplug the unit and contact aservice
technician or your ANTARI dealer before using it again.
!No user serviceable parts inside. Refer to your ANTARI
dealer or other qualified service personnel.
!For adult use only. Fog machine must be installed out
of the reach of children. Never leave the unit running
unattended.
!Never aim the output nozzle directly at people.
!Fog machine output area is very hot. Avoid coming
within 60 cm of the output nozzle during operation.
!Locate the fog machine in awell-ventilated area. Never
cover the unit's vents. In order to guarantee adequate
ventilation, allow afree air space of at least 20 cm
around the sides and top of the unit.
!Never aim the output nozzle at open flames.

!If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
personnel in order to avoid ahazard.
!The output nozzle becomes very hot during operation
0
(300 C). Keep flammable materials at least 50 cm away
from the nozzle.
!Always allow your ANTARI X Fazer to cool down before
attempting to clean or service it.
!Never add flammable liquids of any kind (oil, gas,
perfume) to the fog liquid.
!Use only the high-quality, water-based ANTARI fog
liquid. Other fog liquids may cause clogging or
"spitting".
!Always make sure there is sufficient liquid in the fog
liquid tank. Operating this unit without liquid will
cause damage to the pump as well as over-heating of
the heater.
!If your ANTARI Fog Machine fails to work properly,
discontinue use immediately. Drain all fog liquid from
the tank, pack the unit securely (preferably in the
original packing material), and return it to your
ANTARI dealer for service.
!Always drain tank before mailing or transporting this
unit.
!Never drink fog liquid. If it is ingested, call adoctor
immediately. If fog liquid comes in contact with skin
or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Danger of Explosion
Important:
Pay attention to allwarning labels and instructionsprinted on the
exterior of yourANTARIX Fazer.

Unpacking & Inspection
Setup
WARNING:
Use of any fluidother than ANTARI fog fluid ormodification or
attempted to unauthorized repairof the X Fazerwill immediately
invalidate the warranty.
Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary
to operate the system has arrived intact.
Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI Fog 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
plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your
ANTARI dealer for assistance.
!Remove all packing materials from shipping box.
Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed,
especially in the nozzle area.
!Place fog machine on aflat surface and remove fog
liquid tank cap.
!Fill with only ANTARI Fog Fluid. ANTARI XFazer only
works with uncontaminated ANTARI 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 voids the warranty of the
ANTARI XFazer. When filled, place cap back on liquid
tank.
!Firmly attach the control module cable to the
connector inside the rear chamber of the machine.

Operation
Important:
Always monitor tank fluidlevel as you arefogging. Running a fog
machine with no fluidcan permanently damage theunit.
!Plug power cord into agrounded electrical outlet.
Turn power switch on rear of unit to " ON" position.
Warm-up is complete when the display on control
module shows " Readyto Faze."
!To emit fog, press the appropriate button on the
control module for the desired length of time.
!Loosen the screws onthe two sides ofthe vent to adjust
output angle as desired.
!The control unit's display will cycle " Warming up" and
" Ready to Faze" as the machine re-heats to the proper
operating temperature.
!When the fluid isrunning low, the LEDinside the tank
chamber starts blinking fortwo minutes and thenstop
operation to protect thepump from running dry..
!Always monitor liquid levelto prevent interrupted
operation.
!For further information on operating your ANTARI X
Fazer, see the section titled, "Control Module
Operation" on page 6.
If your model includes amounting bracket designed for overhead
installation, it may be installed at floor level or suspended
overhead. If the unit is to be mounted using the bracket, it is
important that the fog does not shoot directly at any one's face.
Whatever installation method you choose, do not allow the unit
to have more than a15 degree angle of inclination.

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 control module button down for 30 seconds,
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 control
module button, as this may damage the unit. Return the
machine to your ANTARI dealer immediately.

module with 5-pin XLR connector for ANTARI XSeries
models X-310, X-510, X-515, X-530. Its interface
allows the operator to customize fog machine functions
by adjusting fogging duration, interval and volume. Its
LCD displays current operating parameters, which are
automatically stored in non-volatile memory, allowing
the machine to be powered down without losing
function settings. Instructions below:

ANTARIX-20 DMX Module Settings
If Channel has avalue from 0to 5, the unit is OFF.
If Channel has a value from 250 TO 255, the machine will operate
at maximum output.
On X Fazer suchas X-510, X-515 andX-530, X-20 uses only1
channel to control volumeoutput operation. On XFazer such as
X-310, X-20 uses 2channels to control bothfog volume and fan
volume. Whatever channel youselect on the unit,the channel
next to it willbe selected automatically forfan volume control.
Each channel has avalue range of 0to 225. Timer functionssuch
as duration and intervalcan be programmed usingthe DMX
controller or the DMXcontrol software being usedby lighting and
effects operator.
Between the values 6to 249 the volume of fog output is
regulated. With 6 being theminimum volume of fogproduced and
249 approaching the maximum. The volume output risesas the
DMX value is increased.
Note: In the exampleabove, if the machinewere assigned the
DMX address of 124,Channel would correspond toDMX address
124.

In general, ANTARI XFazer with X-20 DMXModule conform to
the following performance specifications:
0
1.Average Operating temperature = 250 C
2.XFazer can maintain maximumoutput for 60
seconds or more
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.
After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended to
run acleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and 20%
white vinegar through the system to prevent the accumulation of
particulate matter in the heating element. The recommended
cleaning regimen is as follows:
1.Empty all fog fluidfrom machine. Add cleaning
solution to tank. Plugunit in and beginwarm up.
2.Run unit in awell-ventilated area until tankis
empty.
3.Cleaning is now complete. Refill with fog liquid.
Maintenance
10

Note: All fog machines areprone to clogging dueto the thick
consistency of fog fluidand the high temperatureat which it
vaporizes. However, a properlymaintained fog machine should
provide years of reliableuse.
Clean with a drycloth only. Store dry.
!It is recommended thatyou set the Fanoutput at 100%
and Fog Volume output at 15-20%.Withsuch setting,
you will have continuousoutput of very finehaze effect
!Whenever enormouseffect isrequired, pressManual keyto
emit fogat 100%output instantly.
!For quietoperation, lowerdown Fanoutput asdesired.
!All fog machines havea recycling period afterlong
bursts when the machinewill shut itself downfor a
short period in orderto heat up again.During this time,
no fog can beproduced.
Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly parts
replacement and repair charges.
