Starting operation:
Install the unit on a level surface.
The uid tank of the unit needs to be lled with smoke uid before switching on.
Always disconnected it from the mains supply before lling as uid could be spilled.
Only use quality smoke uids recommended by your dealer. See page 7 for our recommended
high quality smoke uids. You must not use substances which are classied as
‘DANGEROUS WORKING MATERIALS’ or ‘FLAMMABLE FLUIDS’.
If uid should get inside the main housing, disconnect the unit from the mains immediately
and consult a technician.
Installation:
Install the unit in a well-ventilated area. Use in an insufciently ventilated room can lead to the
condensation of the smoke uid. The resulting slippery surface can cause accidents. Keep a minimum
distance of 1m around the unit.
Furthermore do not orientate the output nozzle directly in the direction of the audience’s eyes.
In order to create the best effect, there should be a distance between the unit and the audience
of at least 1.5m.
Only install the smoke machine on re resistant, scratch resistant and water resistant surfaces.
This unit is constructed for a free standing installation both horizontal or vertical.

After the unit has been powered up the fog machine will take a short
while to heat up to operating temperature. Whilst heating the Red
Heating LED on the xture will illuminate, once heated the
Green Ready LED on the unit will illuminate (the Green LED on the
wireless remote receiver will illuminate Green also when the xture
