3.Setup
AC Power
This product can work with an input voltage of either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or
230 VAC, 50 Hz depending on the model.
To determine the power requirements for a particular product, see the label affixed to
the back plate of the product or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed
current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit
(circuit breaker or fuse),
making sure that it has
an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect this product to
a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit,
even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Fuse Replacement
Disconnect this product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace
with a fuse of the exact
same type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

Mounting
Orientation
The Hurricane™ Haze 2D may be mounted in any position
provided there is
adequate room for ventilation around it.

support its weight. Please see the Technical Specifications section of this manual
for weight information.
Make sure to mount the product securely
to a rigging point, whether an elevated
platform or a truss.

for this purpose.
When mounting this product overhead, always use a safety cable.
Before deciding on a location for this product, always make sure that it will be easy
to access the unit for maintenance and programming purposes.
When power linking multiple products, you must always consider the length of the
power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable to reach
them.
The bracket knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the
desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs using your bare hands.
Using tools could damage the knobs.

Wired Timer
Remote
Operation
Important: Using the Control Board, set the Fan and Haze output to 0. You can then
connect and operate the included wired remote with the Hurricane™ Haze 2D.
The wired timer controller allows you to automatically trigger fog output by setting interval and duration
times. LED indicator lights display the machine and controller’s current state. Rotary knobs set interval
and duration times, while manual and continuous buttons allow overriding control.
1. Plug in the fog machine to power and turn the power switch to the product on.
2. Plug in the timer controller to the Manual Controller socket on the back of the fog machine.
3. Press the <TIMER ON/OFF> latching button on the timer controller. The Timer LED Indicator
above the button will light up. The <TIMER ON/OFF> latching button will remain on until it is
pressed again.
4. Set the INTERVAL, DURATION, and OUTPUT adjustment knobs to the desired positions.
•INTERVAL knob sets the amount of time in between bursts of fog
•DURATION knob sets the length of time that the fog machine will run during the burst
•OUTPUT knob adjusts the fog output
5. Press the <CONTINUOUS> latching button and the fog machine outputs fog until the button is
pressed again. The Manual/Power LED Indicator above the button will light up during
continuous operation.
Note: The duration of continuous fog output is based on the capability of the fog
machine.
6. Press the <MANUAL> button to momentarily output fog. The fog machine will output fog for
as long as you hold down the button. During manual operation the Manual Momentary LED
Indicator above the button will light up.
Note: The duration of manual fog output is based on the capability of the fog machine.

Address The Hurricane™ Haze 2D has one DMX personality, a 2-
channel mode for basic
control.
The Hurricane™ Haze 2D uses up to two channels in its 2-channel DMX mode, which
defines the highest configurable address to 511.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX
channels the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too
high, you could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primerfrom
www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU>repeatedly until d*** shows on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
