slightly damp cloth. Before cleaning the device, always pull out the mains
plug!
If the device does not work properly!
If problems arise, unplug the power cord. The user should not attempt to
service the device on their own. All repairs and service must be performed by
a qualified technician.
Be careful with the power cord!
Never pull the mains cable to disconnect the device from the power supply,
but hold the plug housing in your hand. If you do not use the device for a long
period of time, pull out the mains plug
CAUTION!

1.1. Intended use of the device
This device is a device that was developed for professional use on stages, in
discotheques, theaters, etc. The device is only approved for connection to a
maximum of 230V, 50/60 Hz AC voltage and is only intended for indoor use.
Regular breaks in use increase the service life of your device.
Avoid physical shock or any form of violence when installing or starting up the
device.
Make sure that cables are not lying around freely. This would endanger your
own safety and the safety of third parties.
The device must not be operated or stored in an environment in which
splashing water, rain or moisture is to be expected. Moisture or high humidity
can reduce the insulation of the device and lead to fatal electric shocks.
When using fog machines, it must be ensured that the fog saturation of the
room must allow a good visibility of at least 10 m.
Do not operate the device during thunderstorms. Overvoltage could destroy
the device. In the event of a thunderstorm, completely disconnect the
device from the mains by pulling out the mains plug.
Surrounding objects or surfaces must not be touched by the housing.
Make sure that when assembling and dismantling the device, the area below
the assembly site is cordoned off. This also applies to the performance of
service work.
Familiarize yourself with the functions of the device before putting it into
operation. Do not allow the device to be operated by persons who have no
experience in it. The most common cause of malfunctions is improper
operation of the device.
Keep the device away from children and never operate it unsupervised.
Never aim the nozzle at people and keep 50cm away from the nozzle.
ATTENTION! The emitted mist is very hot.
Keep a minimum distance of 50cm to other objects.
Use only the recommended high quality water-based fluid from your dealer.
Other fluids can cause damage. Do not use flammable additives such as oil,
gas, perfumes, etc. in your fluid.
Never point the nozzle at an open flame or flammable objects.
Make sure to fill up the fluid in time. Running the machine without fluid can
damage the pump and heater block. Unplug the power cord when topping
up the fluid.
Never drink the fog fluid. If it did happen, contact a doctor immediately. If the
fluid comes into contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, rinse the
areas immediately with water.
Only operate the device in a horizontal position.

Never use solvents or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the device.
Instead, use a soft, slightly damp cloth.
When transporting the device, please use the original packaging or the
accessories provided to prevent transport damage.
Unauthorized changes to the device are prohibited for safety reasons!
1.2.Any use of the device that deviates from the use described in these
operating instructions can lead to damage to the device. In this case,
the warranty claim expires. In addition, it should be noted that any
other use is associated with dangers and can lead to short circuits, fire,
electric shock and falls, for example.
Over head mounting
Risk of death!
During installation, the provisions of BGV C1 (formerly VBG 70)
and EN 60598-2-17 must be observed! The installation is to be
carried out exclusively by authorized specialist personnel.
The suspension devices of the device must be constructed and dimensioned
in such a way that they can carry ten times the payload for one hour without
causing permanent damaging deformation.
The installation must always be carried out with the help of a second,
independent suspension. This can, for example, be a suitable safety net. The
secondary suspension must be designed and installed in such a way that in
the event of a failure of the main suspension, no part of the installation can
fall.
During assembly, conversion and dismantling, staying unnecessarily in the
area of movement areas, on lighting bridges, under high workplaces or in
other hazardous areas is prohibited.
The commercial user has the following responsibilities for safety-related and
mechanical equipment:
•Check by an expert before the first start-up or after decisive changes
before the start-up again.
•Review in the scope of the acceptance test at least every four years by
an expert.
•Inspection by an expert at least once a year
How to proceed with overhead attachment:
Ideally, the device should be installed outside of the area where people are.

Fog machine H-2VSD
5 / 19
IMPORTANT! A high level of experience is required for overhead mounting. This
includes knowledge of working load calculations, knowledge of the
installation material used and knowledge of safety inspections of the material
used and the equipment, but the experience required is not limited to this
alone. Under no circumstances should you attempt the installation yourself
unless you are suitably qualified. Instead, hire a professional installer. Please
note that improper installation may result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
The device must not be installed within the reach of persons.
If the device is to be suspended from the ceiling or from high supports, work
must be carried out with truss systems. The device must never be installed in
such a way that it can swing freely in space.
Please note: Devices can cause serious injuries if they fall! If you have doubts
about the safety of a possible form of installation, then do NOT install the
device!
Before mounting the device, ensure that the mounting surface is capable of
supporting at least ten times the point load of the device's own weight.
Mount the device with the mounting bracket on a truss system using suitable
lifting gear.
When installing overhead, ensure that the device is always secured with a
safety rope that can carry twelve times the weight of the device. Only safety
arrester ropes with screw links are to be used. Hang the safety catch rope in
the catch rope hole in the mounting bracket or on the device. Route the
rope over the truss or other secure attachment point. Hook the end into the
screw link and tighten the locking nut securely.
The maximum fall distance of 20 cm must not be exceeded!
A safety arrester rope that has been subjected to the stress of a fall or that has
been damaged must no longer be used as a safety arrester rope. Adjust the
angle of inclination using the mounting bracket and tighten the locking
screws.

2. Connection
2.1.1. Electrical Connection
Connect the device to the mains using the supplied power cable! The
protective earth must always be connected!
Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International
Brown Black Live L
Blue White Neutral N
Green/ Yellow Green Earth
2.1.2. DMX connection
Make sure you always use shielded cables. 3pin or 5pin XLR cables are
suitable for this.
2.1.3. DMX connection with terminator
For installations where the DMX signal has to bridge a large distance or where
the device is to be operated in an environment with increased
electromagnetic radiation, such as a discotheque, we recommend using a
DMX terminator. This prevents the digital control signal from being corrupted
by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a
120Ωresistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output
jack of the last fixture in the chain. Please see the drawings below.

4.1.3. Fluid Sensor
This machine has a software-based fluid sensor that is designed to protect the
pump from damage. Turn on the “Fluid Sensor” to activate the “NO FLUID”
protection function.
4.1.4. Auslösen des Fluid Sensors
As soon as the Fluid Sensor is switched ON, the software based “NO FLUID”
protection function is activated. If the program detects that the pump is no
longer pumping fluid, the pump switches off automatically and draws
attention to the problem with a warning message on the display.
4.1.5. Zurücksetzen der “NO FLUID” Warnung
After the machine initiated the “NO FLUID” protection function, after refilling
the fluid, there are three ways to reset the warning.
•Hold down the “Enter” key until the pump is again supplied with fluid. In
this case, the machine starts to emit fog again.
•In DMX mode, drag the DMX channel assigned to the machine on the
lighting console down to the value 0. Then drag the channel to the
highest value (255).
•Turn off the “FLUID SENSOR” in the menu.
