Dear Grower,
Congratulations on selecting one of the finest combination Ultra-Low-Volume
(ULV)/Low-Volume-Mister (LVM) machines in the world. The NIGHTSTAR™ is the
newest in the Dyna-Fog family of Professional Spraying Equipment and represents the
latest in portable spray technology. The NIGHTSTAR™ ULV/LVM was developed to
enable one machine to perform many greenhouse and other indoor spraying
applications efficiently and effectively while minimizing the amount of worker exposure
to chemicals. This results in a significant savings in labor costs, chemical usage, and
invaluable health benefits.
Field trials have proven that droplets created with the NIGHTSTAR™ circulate entirely
throughout areas as large as 0,000 square feet ( 000 sq.m.) without additional fan
assistance. The droplets impinge on both the top and bottom leaf surfaces deep within
the plants foliage, resulting in excellent control results. With flow rates ranging from .5
gal/hr (1.9 ltrs/hr) to 4.1 gal/hr (15.5 ltrs/hr), nearly double the output of most other ULV
machines, no other machine in the world can match its performance. Backed by its
Quality and Workmanship, we are confident that the NIGHTSTAR™ will be a valuable
addition to any spraying program.
Thank You For Choosing Dyna-Fog

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING
OPERATION
Read and thoroughly understand this operation manual before attempting to
operate or handle any chemicals to be used with this machine. Follow all
"Cautions" and "Warnings" listed in this manual and on the formulation
manufacturers product label.
Do not attempt to alter the configuration of this machine in any way. Doing so can
cause the machine to perform improperly, void the warranty, and may result in
damage to target areas, or pose a hazard to the operator.
Always connect the machine to a properly rated power supply. See Section 6.0 in
this manual for extension cord ratings that must be used with this machine.
Insufficient voltage to the machine will cause poor performance and overheating
of electrical components! Extension cords that are underrated (too small of wire),
or that are too long will cause a voltage drop. NOTE: Nightstar 115 Volt models
require a minimum 20 ampere dedicated circuit.
THIS MACHINE IS INTENDED FOR USE IN CLOSED BUILDINGS. NEVER ENTER
OR ALLOW WORKER ENTRY INTO A BUILDING DURING TREATMENT UNLESS
FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IS WORN. AFTER THE TRETAMENT IS
COMPLETED, ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE DROPLETS TO SETTLE OUT
OF THE AIR BEFORE UNPROTECTED PERSONS RE-ENTER THE BUILDING. AT
HIGH TEMPERATURES (90 DEGREES F, 32 DEGREES C) THIS CAN TAKE AS
LONG AS 4 HOURS FOR THE SMALLEST 8 MICRON DROPLETS.
DO NOT VENT THE BUILDING UNTIL THE DROPLETS HAVE SETTLED.
NOTIFY WORKERS OF THE APPLICATION BY WARNING THEM ORALLY AND BY
POSTING WARNING SIGNS AT ENTRANCES TO TREATED AREAS.

WORKING PRINCIPLES
The Nightstar ULV/LVM is a combination Ultra-Low-Volume/Low-Volume-Mister aerosol
applicator. It is electrically powered by either 115 volts or 230 volts AC. The machine is
available in (3) different models:
1) NIGHTSTAR M... Mounted on a heavy duty, welded steel frame with large wheels for
transporting. The fan housing and nozzle has a vertical, horizontal, upward/downward
adjustment capability.
2) NIGHTSTAR S... Mounted on a universal swivel bracket, the entire unit can be
mounted from the ceiling and swiveled 3 0 degrees for optimum positioning. The fan
housing and nozzle can be adjusted upward and downward.
3) NIGHTSTAR T... Mounted on a compact, heavy duty welded-steel frame with low
profile, rubber mounting feet. Designed to be mounted stationary on a table top or
platform type surface. The fan housing and nozzle have horizontal and upward and
downward adjustment capability.
All models operate on the same principles:
Air for the liquid spray is created by a 2-stage, high RPM electric motor/blower. Air from
the blower pressurizes the formulation and flush tanks, and supplies air thru a flexible
hose to the nozzle for atomizing the liquid. The air that is supplied to the formulation
tank is accurately regulated by means of an air bleed orifice. This orifice can be
changed to produce the desired flow rate. This flow rate is what determines the droplet
size being produced by the nozzle. Therefore, the smaller the air bleed orifice being
used, the higher the tank pressure, the higher the flow rate, and the larger the droplet
that will be produced.
The spray circulation air is provided by a High Air Flow (8000 CFM, 22 Cu.m/min) axial
fan. The fan has been tested and proven to provide even droplet distribution in areas of
up to 0,000 square feet ( 000 square meters) without any additional fan assistance.
To adequately dispense two-part formulations that tend to separate over time (ie.
wetable powders), the NIGHTSTAR™ can be equipped with an optional auxiliary
formulation agitation system. The agitation system consists of two parts:
1) An air circulation tube that provides high velocity air to the formulation tank for
pressurization and agitation.
2) An electric motor driven pump that circulates and mixes the formulation. This pump
is activated by pushing the auxiliary agitation switch to the "ON" position.
After a spray treatment is completed, the entire spray system is automatically
flushed. The agitation pump is then turned off and the fan and blower are turned
off when their pre-programmed time expires.
9 | P a g e
WORKING PRINCIPLES (cont'd)
All models are equipped with a 24 hour programmable timer. The timer is mounted in a
NEMA approved, water-resistant, lockable, steel enclosure for pre-programmed,
unattended operation. The programmable timer enables the fan and spray to be turned
on and off automatically. Once this sequence is programmed into the timer, it remains
in memory even when power is disconnected.
The formulation and flush tanks are manufactured from chemical resistant, high-density-
polyethylene. The formulation tank capacity is 2.5 US gallons (9.5 ltrs) , and the flush
tank capacity is .5 US gallons (1.9 ltrs). The formulation and flush tank are plumbed in
parallel so that the entire system is cleaned when the automatic flushing system is
activated.

PREPARING TO SPRAY
WARNING; This device is designed to dispense chemical sol tions in an aerosol
form. Most of the chemical sol tions that may be dispensed with this machine
req ire registration or approval by vario s government agencies. Use of some
chemicals may be restricted, reg lated, or prohibited in some areas. Always
thoro ghly read and follow the information provided by the form lation
man fact rers label and on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before
applying the chemical. Know any dangers of the sol tion sed and what to do in
case of an accident involving the sol tion.
The NIGHTSTAR™ is designed to create an equal number of uniform droplets at each
flow rate selected. To assure that the machine is producing the most effective droplet
size for your application, you must determine the flow rate of the liquid you intend to
spray. Table 1 lists the orifice sizes and their corresponding flow rates using water as
the liquid being sprayed. . For your machine to perform efficiently as possible, you need
to determine the viscosity (flowability) of the liquid you are intending to spray. See the
description below for FORMULATION VISCOSITY.
FORMULATION VISCOSITY As the viscosity of any formulation increases (gets thicker)
, the flow rate thru the machine decreases. The viscosity of the formulation that you are
using can be determined by using the CURTIS VISCO-METER supplied with your
machine. To use the Visco-Meter, fill the meter with a sample of the pre-mixed
formulation you intend to spray. Time in seconds how long it takes for the liquid level to
fall from the top line marked on the side of the meter to the bottom line of the meter.
(Ordinary tap water at 8 degrees F. will flow the distance between these two lines in
approximately 32 seconds) .
NOTE: ALWAYS HANDLE AND DISPOSE OF ALL CHEMICALS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND THE MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA SHEET FOR THE CHEMICAL BEING USED.

CHOOSING THE CORRECT LIQUID-FLOW-RATE
To enable the machine to be used for various applications (i.e. space treatment,
insecticides, fungicides), it is desirable to check the machines flow rate. Table 1 lists
the orifice sizes and their corresponding flow rates USING ORDINARY TAP WATER AT
8 F (20 C).
TABLE 1
ORIFICE LIQUID DROPLET SIZE (MKD)
NUMBER FLOW RATE (APPLICATION)
1 .8 GAL/H (3.0 L/H) 8 (SPACE)
2 2.0 GAL/H (7.5 L/H) 20 (INSECTICIDE)
3 2.5 GAL/H (9- L/H) 30 (FUNGICIDE)
4 4.1 GAL/H (15.5 L/H 50 (DISINFECT.)
* WHEN THE #4 ORIFICE IS INSTALLED, A WETTING RESIDUAL SPRAY WILL BE
PRODUCED. THIS IS DESIRED WHEN DISPENSING MOST DISENFECTANTS,
BUT SOME PLANTS MAY BE DAMAGED BY SOME FORMULATIONS. ALWAYS
ENSURE THAT THE CIRCULATION FAN IS OPERATING WHEN DOING A SPRAY
TREATMENT.
To measure the flow rate:
1. Fill the formulation tank with water
2. Weigh the tank
3. Replace tank cap and HAND TIGHTEN TO SEAL
4. Allow unit to spray for 15 minutes.
5. Weigh the tank again and note the difference in weight (in grams or pounds as
shown in example below).
6. Calculate the flow rate as follows:
Using Metric System Units: (BASED ON A 15 MINUTE FLOW TEST)
(Difference in weight in grams) x (4) = output in grams/h
(output in grams/hr
1000 = output in kg/h = output in L/h
To convert to U.S. gallons per hour: (L/h) x (.2 42) = gph
Example:
Difference in weight using the #2 orifice * 1875 grams.
1875 GRAMS x 4 = 7500 GRAMS/h
7500 GRAMS/h = 7.5 kg/h = 7.5 L h
1000
7.5 L/h x .2 42 = 2.0 U.S. GPH
NOTE: Higher flow rates and larger droplets can be achieved for NightStar
models purchased with the optional 15 Gallon Tank Kit. See section in the back
of the manual for details on this option.

CHOOSING THE CORRECT LIQUID FLOW RATE (CONT/D)
USING ENGLISH SYSTEM UNITS: (BASED ON A 15 MINUTE FLOW TEST)
Output in pounds/h______ = output in U S gallons/h
8 32 (pounds/gal of water)
To convert to Liters per Hour: U S gallons/h X 3 785
Exa ple:
Difference in weight using the #2 orifice =4.16 pounds
4.16 pounds X 4 = 16.64 pounds/h
15 minutes
16.64 pounds/hr = 2 gallons/h
8 32 pounds/gal
2 gallons/h X 3 785 =7 5 liters/h

VOLUMES AND CHEMICAL RATES TO USE IN YOUR NIGHTSTAR™
5.1
GREENHOUSE APPLICATIONS:
Volume:
Use 1 quart per 10,000 square feet per 3 feet of crop height, or 1 liter per 1000 square
meters per 1 meter of crop height
Chemical:
The aim is to use as much chemical as would have been applied by conventional High-
Volume-Spraying Example: To apply a product labeled for use at 8 fl oz in 100 US
gallons/40,000 square feet (1 acre) (50 ml per 100 1 to a greenhouse of 4000 square
meters) containing potted plants: Conventional high volume spraying would have used
12 fl. oz in 150 US gallons Therefore, put 12 fl oz of chemical in 4 quarts (33 0 ml in
4 liters) in the Nightstar For a mature tomato crop that would have used 24 fl oz in
300 US gallons, put 24 fl oz in 8 quarts (660 ml in 8 liters) in the Nightstar
5.2
Food Warehouse Applications:
The chemical should be used at the rate specified on the product label, such as 2 oz
per 1000 cubic feet (50 ml per 100 cubic meters)
I portant: Only use the Nightstar™ for the application of che icals whose
conditions of registration do not prohibit Low-Volu e applications.

PRE-SPRAY CHECKLIST
1) After the machine has been calibrated using the liquid to be sprayed, position the
machine in the area to be treated, WARNING: It is recommended that the machine be
placed so that the nozzles are spraying down a main aisle of the target area and that no
foliage is located within 50 feet (15 meters) directly in front of the nozzles This must be
done to allow any unwanted large droplets to "fall out" before impinging on and
damaging the foliage See figure 1 in this manual for an example of how to properly
position the machine I portant: When using an extension cord to operate the
Nightstar 115 Volt AC odels, use a 12 gauge cord up to 50 feet long (15 meters) ,
and a 10 gauge extension cord from 50-100 feet (15-3 0 meters) For the 23 0 Volt
AC odels, use a 14 gauge cord up to 50 feet long (15 meters), and a 12 gauge cord
from 50-100 feet (15-30 meters)
2) Fill the formulation tank with the proper amount of liquid to treat the target area (2 5
US gallons, 9 liters maximum) ONLY PUT AS MUCH FORMULATION IN THE TANK
THAT IS NECESSARY TO DO ONE APPLICATION, Tighten the plastic cap to seal
the tank If you have the optional auxiliary agitation system, tighten the knurled brass
couplings on the circulation hoses (it is only necessary to hand tighten couplings Over
tightening will damage the rubber gasket seal inside the nut)
3) Fill the flush tank with water and tighten the cap
4) Position the toggle switch in either the Manual or Automatic mode (see section 6 1
and 6 2 of this manual) In Manual Mode, all functions (i e spray on/off, fan on/off,
agitation mixer on/off) are controlled by actuating the toggle switches on the control
panel at the side of the machine If your machine is equipped with the optional auxiliary
agitation system, you must push the button on top of the blower cover to turn the mixing
pump "on" regardless of whether you are in the Manual or Automatic mode
6.1
MANUAL SPRAYING
1) Ensure that the “SPRAY SWITCH" is "OFF", and turn the machine "on" using the
main timer ON/OFF switch inside the timer enclosure
2) Push the switch on the blower top cover to activate the optional Auxiliary Agitation
System
3) Place the FAN SWITCH to the "on" position and allow the "FAN" to operate for 15
minutes before turning the SPRAY on
13 | P a g e
6.2
AUTOMATIC SPRAYING
To program the timer, you must first determine the total spray "on" time The total "on"
time is composed of the sum of (4) different functions as follows:
A) Pre-Air-Circulation Ti e: Pre-Air-Circulation time will always be 15 minutes
When you program the timer to turn "on", there will be a 15 minute delay before the
spray begins This 15 minute delay is the pre-air-circulation time period
B) Ti e To Dispense For ulation: This is the time it will take to actually dispense the
formulation in the formulation tank- This time can be determined by taking the amount
of formulation that is in the tank and dividing that number by the flow rate being
produced When determining this number it is a good idea to add an additional 5-10
minutes to assure that all of the formulation has been dispensed
C) Flush Ti e: Flush Time is the time required to empty the contents of the flush tank
When the tank is full, this time should be approximately 5 minutes
D) Post-Air-Circulation Ti e: Post-Air-Circulation Time is the time per::: for
circulating the spray droplets after the spray cycle is complete, and should be entered
as 15 minutes
Therefore, TOTAL Spray "ON" TIME = (Pre-Air-Circulation Ti e) + (Ti e to
dispense for ulation) + (Flush Ti e) + (Post-Air-Circulation Ti e)
EXAMPLE:
1) PRE-AIR-CIRCULATION TIME = 15 MINUTES
+
2)* TIME TO DISPENSE FORMULATION = 20 MINUTES*
+
3) FLUSH TIKE = ......5 MINUTES
+
4) POST-AIR-CIRCULATION TIME =..15 MINUTES
_____________
TOTAL “ON” TIME = 55 MINUTES
* The "Ti e To Dispense For ulation" is the only figure in the above equation
that has to be deter ined. To ensure that all of the liquid in the tank gets
dispensed, you can add an additional 5-10 inutes to this ti e. Doing this will
increase the "Total On Ti e" which i proves the droplet circulation and
distribution within the target area. All other ti es (#1,#3, and #4) are already
deter ined values as shown above and do not require any calculation.
