Chemtex ULV FOGGER User manual

Fogger is used to saturate air with a disinfectant such that the product spreads throughout the target area & coats surfaces
with thin, even layers.Use as a sprayer for direct application on contaminated surfaces is NOT RECOMMENDED.
ULV Fogging, works by compressing pesticides or disinfectants through a specially designed nozzle, producing a fine cold
mist or aerosol. Electric portable versions are particularly ideal for indoor applications as they don’t produce exhaust gases

Product Information
Ultra-Low Volume application (ULV) of disinfectants depends on the volume to be fumigated, strength of disinfectant solution,
time of exposure and particle size of fog produced.
Atomized liquids should be low density & non flammable. Refer to the dosage chart and MSDS for composition & compatibility,
chemical safety and accidental exposure guidelines.
Read Operating Instructions overleaf, failure to comply may lead to reduced machine life, electric shock hazard, fire & accidents.
All maintenance operations by authorized personnel only

BEFORE STARTING
ŸConnect the unit to a designated 220V,3.5A power supply
Use a grounded 3 terminal extension cord if required
ŸDO NOT reposition device by pulling on the power cord
ŸShut off ALL doors, windows, AC & ventilators in the room
ŸSwitch off & cover ALL electrical leads, digital equipments
and electro medicos etc with cloth or plastic sheet
ŸRemove any potential source of electric spark, or fire
(heating element) from the area
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ŸPrepare the disinfectant solution as per instructions on the
disinfectant label and the area to be fumigated
ŸDO NOT mix chemicals in the tank; pre-mix & add to tank
ŸDO NOT add more than 5 liters liquid to tank; incase more
than 5 liter solution is need, run in successive batches
ŸNever place device directly on the floor; always elevate
with a stand or table to prevent dust & moisture clogging
ŸFor optimum results over large volumes, repeat process
from two adjacent corners of the area
ŸDO NOT operate in small enclosed areas beyond 30 minutes
DURING OPERATION
ŸAdjust the droplet size using the regulator on the tank
ŸAn ideal ULV fog is an invisible jet spray because of very
small droplet size; finer the droplets, greater the efficacy
ŸTurning the regulator by one full turn results in a visible
power mist that may deposit on nearby surfaces
ŸAdjust the head of the device at an approximate 45° angle
to the metal base cylinder and switch on the equipment
ŸLeave the area during fumigation process
AFTER FUMIGATION
ŸAdjust the droplet size using the regulator on the tank
ŸAn orifice with clean nozzle will produce uniform droplets
ŸAn ideal ULV fog is an invisible jet spray because of very
small droplet size; finer the droplets, greater the efficacy
ŸTurning the regulator by one full turn results in a visible
power mist that may deposit on nearby surfaces
ŸDO NOT switch on the device with a closed regulator
ŸAdjust the head of the device at an approximate 45° angle
to the metal base cylinder and switch on the equipment
ŸLeave the area during fumigation process

Dosage Instructions
1.Volume of space to be fogged = Length x Width x Height
e.g. 20ft x 20ft x 10ft = 4000cu.ft
2.Recommended application rate: 400ml /1000cu.ft
3.Time required for fogging = Total Liquid to be
fogged/flow rate
Liquid (ml) = Volume (4000cu.ft) x
Application rate
(400ml/1000cu.ft)
= 1600ml
Time required = Total liquid to be
fogged/flow rate
= 1600ml/50ml/min
= 32 minutes

Problem
Fog and power mist is weak
Solution
Re-calibrate orifice regulator
Problem
Liquid forms around the base of the
motor housing
Solution
Extended operation time resulting in
mist deposition on metal base
Problem
Fogger is operating erratically;
frequently turning on & off
Solution
Electric cord & plug may be
loose/damaged or Motor failure
Problem
Fogger becomes very warm (hot)
during normal operation
Solution
Filter and strainer systems may be
blocked and need cleaning
Use a 3/C terminal 220V
power supply
Fill tank with pre-mixed
disinfectant solution
Adjust the droplet
size using regulator
Adjust orifice at
45° angle and Fumigate

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Clean your fogger after each use. Drain the unused chemical from the tank, rinse it with the water
after using water base product or kerosene after using oil based product. Always fog for a few
minutes with clean water to flush chemical residues from the internal lines.
Nozzle cleaning -If any deposits are formed into the nozzle parts,it requires to be cleaned. Follow
instructions from dealer to clean solid residues left in the nozzle parts. Run the machine with plain
water to flush out the residues.
Tank Cleaning -To separate tank for cleaning, unscrew the wing nuts on the tank lid and lift the
blower head. The tank is separated for cleaning. Clean strainer & tank as needed. Do not leave
fogging solution in tank for long period of time. Always empty tank after each use before storage.
Motor Brushes- Graphite motor brushes conduct electricity to the motor commentator. Brushes are
a wear part, with a life of about 400 operating hours. Contact dealer for replacing motor brushes.
Intake Air Filter- Air borne particles, dirt, dust, & chemical being fogged can cause internal
corrosion & premature wear of motor parts. Warranty does not cover damages from such causes.
Dirty & clogged filter may be washed with water, dried and used (Do not squeeze)
(Life of the intake air filter depends upon frequency of the machine used, type of chemical used.
While replacing ensure that filter gets firm grip. Filter life is 75 hours of use or maximum six months.
PRECAUTIONS
Refer to MSDS of chemical to be fogged & follow dosage instruction, restriction & safety precautions specified.
Comply with requirement of goggles, gloves, facial masks recommended by chemical label.
Do not dispense flammable liquids such as acetone, benzene, gasoline, alcohol etc. Never fog around open flame.
Do not touch the blower orifice while the unit is in operation. The cooling time is 10 to 15 minutes after switch off.
Do not use to dispense highly corrosive liquids, paint or lacquer.
Do not fog a non-approved product which can damage machine parts and accelerate motor wear.
Do not switch ON the machine in absence of intake air filter, replace it when dirty.
Do not restrict the air intake of the ULV Fogger by blocking hand, holding it quiet near to body.
Do not insert any instrument or wire into the machine from front or rear end or nozzle end.
Always use 3 wire grounded electrical system. Do not disconnect the safety ground or use extension cords to
convert this machine to 2 wire system. This defeats the purpose of safety ground and may result in electrical shock.
Extension cord current rating if used must be greater than the amperage shown on the fogger nameplate.
Do not operate Fogger without strainer at the rear end of the liquid suction tube to avoid clogging of nozzle and tubes.
Do not expose to rain or immerse the machine in water or liquid to clean it.
Do not swing Fogger in running condition as motor rotates at very high speed.
Do not start damaged, broken or partially opened machine.
Allow fog to dissipate for 15 minutes before opening windows &/or ventilators to recirculate room with fresh air
