Unpacking
& Inspection
Open the shipping carton, open the °C Breeze case
and confirm all components are inside and intact.
If any of the equipment is damaged or not working
properly, contact [email protected] immediately.
Your °C Breeze instrument contains:
• Carrying case with keys
• °C Breeze Instrument
• Extension tube
• 12V rechargeable battery
• Battery charger and international plugs
• 500 ml bottle of °C Breeze Fog Fluid
• °C Breeze user manual
• °C Breeze Quick Start Guide
Initial Setup
• Remove reservoir cap and fill the unit
with °C Breeze Fog Fluid.
• Replace reservoir cap and do not overtighten.
• Charge the battery for 8 hours by plugging
the adapter onto the battery and into
a grounded electrical outlet.
• The green LED on the charger should
illuminate during charging.
• Subsequent charge time is 2-3 hours.
• Align the battery’s electrical terminals with
the receiving terminals inside the Cbreeze,
and slide inside, making sure the battery
clip latches in place.
• The charge will last approximately 10-15
minutes depending on fog quantity selected.
Operation
The °C Breeze operates with or without the extension tube
and requires almost no warm-up time. The user can set the
unit’s two side-mounted toggle switches in order to adjust to
an operational preference.
Momentary vs Latching Mode:
This toggle switch setting determines how the push button
will operate. In Momentary Mode (←), the fog flow will start
when the button is pressed, and stop when the button is
released. In Latching Mode (→), the fog will flow when the
button is pressed and released, and will keep running until
the button is pressed a second time. Move the switch as
indicated by the label on the °C Breeze.
High vs Low Flow Mode:
This toggle switch sets the fog fluid consumption rate, in
order to maximize battery life between charges. In Low Flow
Mode (←), the consumption rate is reduced by approxi-
mately 50%, and the runtime is extended 30%. In High Flow
mode, the unit outputs the maximum fog volume possible.
Begin by pressing the button on the handle, and the green
LED will turn on. Fog will be produced within 1 second.
When fog is turned off, the green LED will flash for approxi-
mately 7 seconds while the unit shuts down.

Battery
When the LED turns Red the battery needs to be charged. The °C Breeze will still be able to produce fog for
short period of time after the red LED begins flashing. It is important to then remove and charge the battery;
especially should the °C Breeze be stored. To remove the battery, push the battery retaining clip upwards, and
pull out the battery out of the back of the °C Breeze.
Fog Dispersion
The machine can be operated at an angle that ensures the fog fluid in the bottle is drawn into the machine. In
practice this means that, provided the reservoir is full, the unit can be used to generate fog ±45° from the hori-
zontal plane. Before using the machine, make sure that the filler cap is tight, but not over tightened.
Fog Dispersion
Accessories
Three additional nozzle assemblies are available for
the fog visualization professional, design to enhance
the delivery in a variety of ways.
FlowBulb, PN 51300AS003:
Designed to absorb the fog momentum,
and reduce the volume dramatically. This
is useful in settings with very slow flow
profiles, where the momentum of the fog
as it exits the °C Breeze must be eliminat-
ed, and the volume of fog needs to be
minimized for proper visualization.
MiniFlow, PN 51300AS004:
Designed to direct the fog through a very
small orifice, which is useful in leakage
testing and wind profiling.
PlanarFlow, PN: 51300AS005:
Designed to cast a planar fog flow, use-
ful for broadcasting the fog across a door
or window frame, or for testing ante rooms,
clean rooms and face areas of critical
containment cabinets.
• Always clean the extension tube after use, and
do not be concerned about condensation inside
the nozzle during operation.
• If you experience low output, pump noise or no
output at all, remove the battery immediately.
Check fluid level and recharge the battery. When
the liquid tank is full and the battery is charged,
plug the battery in and press the button on the
handle to test again.
• If the machine is still not working and you are
unable to determine the cause of the problem,
do not open the case.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Contact
[email protected] for support.

Dedicated Power Supply Accessory
When desired, the °C Breeze can be powered by an optional power adapter which plugs into a standard electrical
outlet. The adapter connects to a dummy battery which plugs into the battery slot on the °C Breeze. This allows
for extended operation of the °C Breeze of up to 60 continuous minutes.
Wireless Remote Control Accessory Operation
An optional Wireless Remote Control is available from Degree Controls, Inc. When using the Wireless Remote
Control, always ensure the battery is fully charged, or use the dedicated power supply accessory with dummy
battery. Always ensure the °C Breeze has sufficient fog fluid. Using a miniature screw driver, set the °C Breeze
into Momentary mode before beginning to use the Wireless Remote Control accessory.
• Preparation:
Connect receiver to °C Breeze as shown above.
• To start fog generation:
Press the A button on the remote.
• To stop fog generation:
Press the B button on the remote. Fog will stop
within 10 seconds. Remove the receiver from
the °C Breeze when not in use.

the product warranty and may be dangerous to your health.
Propylene Glycol is an additive used in many consumer
and pharmaceutical products including; lipstick, cosmet-
ics, processed baked goods, fruit juices, animal feed and
veterinarian products. It also creates the inhaled mist that
is found in many e-cigarette devices. When propylene gly-
col is used in pharmaceutical applications, strict specifi-
cations for quality as laid out in the European Pharmaco-
poeia, have to be followed. This official document of the
European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM)
is used in more than 37 countries in Europe. In the US,
propylene glycol is listed as GRAS – Generally Recognized
as Safe – for use in food and pharmaceuticals in the US-
Pharmacopoeia (Ref21CFR), the official FDA (US Food &
Drug Administration) document. It has been extensively
studied and its toxicology has been summarized in a SIDS
