Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Ayra WSM Junior fog machine. This small fog machine is the perfect party
companion when you want to fill a room with fogto create a club atmosphere and enhance the beams
projected by light effects. This user manual provides you with all the information you need to get the best out
of the features this device has to offer.
ead this user manual before you set up the device and familiarise yourself with the product and its
accessories. Also check the box contents for possible damage and/or missing parts.
If you encounter any problems during use, contact your local dealer for more information and help.
The WSM Junior is a compact fog machine which projects clouds of fog when needed. It is designed as a
party effects machine and is mostly used in establishments like community centres, bars, dancing schools,
rollerskating rinks, bowling alleys etc.
The fog machine has a built-in fluid tank which needs to be filled with proper fog fluid in order to create the
desired fog effect. Fluid from the tank is pumped into the heating system which then expands into a fog-like
substance. The expansion causes the pressure to build until clouds of fog are expelled from the nozzle
positioned at the front of the machine.
The WSM Junior uses water based fluids. Ayra recommends the use of Ayra fluids, which are available in
different densities (light, medium, and heavy). Using fluids from other brands is not recommended as this
may reduce the lifespan of the machine. In addition to this, fluids from other brands may cause unexpected
results such as burning smells, unvapourised fluid expellation, etc.
The remote control is attached to a robust cable for safety reasons. This way it is possible to place the
machine on the floor and still be able to control the output of the machine without bending over. LED
indicators on the remote show if the machine is ready to produce fog.

Guidelines for fog machines
Fluid guidelines:
- Only use water-based fog liquids!
- Ayra recommends the use of Ayra fog machine fluid only. Other types of fog liquid may cause permanent
damage or bad performance. When the wrong type of fog liquid is used, the machine might spray hot liquid.
- It is possible to keep fog machine fluid in the tank during transport. Pay close attention to possible tipping.
When transporting this device with fluid still in the tank, the maximum level should not exceed 50%!
- When transporting this device with parcel delivery companies (or any other way of transport where the
device could be positioned upside-down), the fluid tank needs to be fully drained.
Temperature guidelines:
- The fog machine requires a heat-up time. It is not directly ready for use when switched on.
- The temperature of the heating element is set in the factory. Do not attempt to change the set temperature
of the device.
- The fog coming out of the fog machine is very hot and moist at short distance. Keep animals, children,
flammable objects and electronic devices away from the fog machine and its output.
- After use, turn off the machine, unplug the power cable from its socket and let the machine cool down for at
least 20 minutes. Do not transport the machine while it is still hot! Small puffs of fog may be produced during
cool-down time.
Ventilation and health guidelines:
- Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room. Fresh air needs to be able to enter the
room and vaporized fog needs to be able to be drained from the room.
- Use caution with the amount of fog used. Only small amounts of fog are required to accentuate professional
lighting and make the beams visible. Do not keep producing fog when the visibility drops below 2 meters.
- The use of fog is not hazardous for people or animals, if used with caution and proper ventilation. Do not
use more fog than needed to achieve the desired effect.
Exterior guidelines:
- Do not cover the nozzle of the fog machineor place a tube over the nozzle.
- When using the fog machine in a standing or hanging position, do not adjust the vertical angle by more than
15% up or down.
- When used in a hanging position, the device always needs to be secured by using a safety cable. Attach
the safety cable to the provided safety eye with the carabiner hook. A safety cable is not included in the
delivery and can be purchased separately.
- The device must be installed on a flat surface or hang from a solid construction using the included bracket.

Preparing and installing the machine
To activate the unit, connect the power cable to a suitable power outlet. Ensure that fog fluid is present in the
tank. If so, switch on the device with the on/off switch.
Now the heating element of the machine will heat up until the necessary temperature has been reached. This
may take up to 5 minutes.
The remote control will show if the device is ready to produce fog. If the machine is ready, LEDs on the
remote control will light up. When pressing and holding the button on the remote control, the pump will
extract liquid from the tank and pump it through the heating system, producing fog.
It may be possible that the machine does not instantly produce fog, especially if the machine is used for the
first time. This is because the machine is tested in the factory then drained so the fog liquid is removed from
the system. When using the machine for the first time, press and hold the remote button when the machine is
ready to produce fog. Some noise from the fog machine pump may be noticeable as it will run without fluid
for a short while, but this will not harm the components. Gradually, fog clouds will begin to appear from the
fog nozzle, which will increase each second.
Installing the system in a standing position
The WSM Junior is mainly used for party lighting enhancement and can be placed directly on a flat surface
such as a table, floor or bar. Placement on the floor is recommended, but please beware that the housing
may become hot. Placement on certain kinds of carpet and similar surfaces is therefore not recommended.
Please ensure that the device is positioned safely and the power cord is installed properly. Accidents may
happen if the power cord is hanging freely and can be pulled by small children, which causes the device to
fall down. Install the device securely and contact your local dealer or a skilled technician for the best
installation advice for permanent and mobile setups.
Installing the fixture in a hanging position
The WSM Junior is equipped with an installation bracket which makes it possible to install the device on a
ceiling, or beam. Mounting hardware is not included but should be available at your local hardware store.
Please ensure that the right mounting hardware is selected for the material. For example: wooden beams
require different hardware than a brick wall.
The WSM Junior can also be installed to a lighting stand or truss system. It may be necessary to install
clamps or couplers to the device in order to ensure a secure attachment. The device is equipped with an
eyebolt for a safety cable. If the device is installed in a hanging position, the device must be secured with a
safety cable. If the primary mounting hardware fails for any reason, the device should not be able to fall
more than 30 cm and the safety cable should be able to hold 10x the weight of the unit.
Spare parts
This unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. When any damage to internal components occurs, contact
your local dealer or a specialised technician in order to repair the fixture.
Cleaning:
Clean the housing of the fixture frequently with a damp cloth, to remove dust and/or dirt.
WAR I G: Always disconnect the fixture from your wall outlet or other power supply and let the fixture dry
before reconnecting it. This prevents possible electric shocks.
Check-up
To prevent dangerous situations, make sure your fixture is in optimal condition before using it. Check your
fixture frequently by using the following check list:
- All screws must be mounted tightly.
- Check all screws and metal parts for corrosion. No visible corrosion should be present.
- The exterior of your fixture must be in optimal condition. Check your fixture for dents, cracks or missing
parts.
The information and illustrations shown in this user manual are subject to change without notice.
User manual version: 1.0 Creation date + author initials: 03-11-2015 RV Revision date + author initials: -

- Your installation spot must be in optimal condition. Check your installation spot for corrosion, cracks, dents
and strength.
- Electrical components (connectors and cables) must be in optimal condition. No form of damage (cuts,
exposed wire cores or any other irregularities) should be visible.
If any visual or mechanical damage is detected, contact your local dealer or a specialised technician. Do not
use a damaged or failing fixture.
Storage for a longer period of time
If the machine will not be used for a longer period of time (>1 month), the fluid needs to be drained from the
machine to prevent clogging of the system.
When the machine is still turned on, but about to be shut down, twist the cap off the fluid tank and remove
the hose from the tank. The fluid tank can be drained, for example in the original fog fluid container.
Now, spray fog until the output of the machine drops significantly. This way, remaining fluid which is trapped
inside the heating system will be removed. If noise from the pump increases and the fog output becomes
low, stop pressing the remote and shut down the machine for cooling.
The empty tank can now be installed back into its compartment and the hose and cap can be installed again.
After cooling the machine is ready for storage for a longer period of time.
