THE T1100 “THE COMPACT SNOW MACHINE”
Congratulations on your purchase of this Global Special Effects snow machine. With
your snow machine you will dazzle and entertain audiences in large or small
venues. Your T1100 snow machine is loaded with advanced features, but at
the same time it is very easy to use.
The T1100 “The Compact Snow Machine” is a modernized design in a family of special effects snow
machines used for years in Movie Productions, Theatres, Malls, and Presentations. This futuristic
modeled “work-horse” sprays evaporative snow from its nozzle section and creates a realistic
snowfall effect without residue or cold air. With its reliable, efcient and low-volume design, the
T1100 is a marvel for stage productions, fancy presentations or unique weddings. The tethered
remote and the DMX give the user control over snow ake size and instant activation.
CAUTION: YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE
OPERATING THE T1100 “THE COMPACT SNOW
MACHINE”
The T1100 is an Electric Product - not a Toy. To avoid the risk of re, burns, personal injury, and
electric shock, it should not be played with and should be placed out of the reach of small
children. Adult supervision is continuously necessary to avoid the risk of electric shock or personal
injury. Never remove the covers or open the enclosures.
The T1100 “ The Compact Snow Machine” generates evaporative snow™ that normally disipates
completely when dispensed from 20-30 ft in the air. Mounting the T1100 at the specied elevation,
relative to the generated ake size, is key to creating a “residue free” oor below the snow machine
(See Chart 2). A wet oor or incorrectly mounted snow machine could allow a build-up of snow
residue. Since the residue is slippery, it is important to follow all the directions in this manual to
avoid this type of problem.
Never operate the T1100 without evaporative snow™ in the solution bottle. Do not run the T1100
when the Gallon Solution bottle is holding less than a pint of solution. If you do not follow these
directions, the T1100 can be damaged and warranty voided.
Always mount the T1100 using the secured “C” Clamp that is attached to the steel yoke, or secure it on
a at stable platform. Wrap a safety chain around the yoke brackets for secondary protection.
Never leave the T1100 unattended while operating. Do not operate it in the rain or near standing water.
Always use an outlet with an earth grounding receptacle and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI).
Never use this product for any activity other than for what it is intended.
Never add flammable liquids (oil, gas, alcohol, perfume) to the snow solution.

Global Special Effects Labs are constantly inventing and reformulating solutions in order to improve
the snow from the T1100 “The Compact Snow Machine”. Please contact Global Special Effects at
800-745-8599 for more information. In order to prevent operation problems and observe the Warranty
guidelines, always use a Global Special Effects approved solution. The FG-100 Snow Solution comes
premixed and ready to use. You will have to pour the solution into the plastic bottle that comes with
the T1100.
FG-100 Evaporative Snow™ premixed. Recommended
Global Special Effects premixed solutions are designed with the highest grade of available water based
surfactants. The surfactant-based solution is mixed with de-ionized water to leave no residue when
using the snow machine properly. The use of de-ionized water is necessary to create a bright fluffy
snow flake. Global Special Effects Laboratories have researched and developed the driest available
snow solution on the market today. FG-100 premixed weight: 9.8 pounds.
Using Evaporative Snow™ concentrate solution FG-100C
Global Special Effects Labs have designed a concentrated version of FG-100 premixed in an attempt to
save shipping cost to our customers. The ratio mix for this snow solution is 8 oz. of solution per one gallon
of water. It is important to remember that the kind of water used will affect the quality of snow. The
recommended water to use is de-ionized water. This form of water has no minerals, hard properties
or chlorine. De-ionized water is the base ingredient in our formulation, because it makes the best
foam and leaves no water stains. It was originally used for the movie industry, so if the snow landed
on a camera lens, it would not leave a water ring. Since this formulation has no chemical, it dries and
leaves no film. Be aware that if you use tap water, it may have hard agents that can
cause poor looking snow. In this case, order FG-100 premix. The use of tap water, city water or well
water can be used with the following warnings: Certain tap waters contain high mineral content and
will produce a minimal amount of snow. These minerals will not produce a bright white flake.
See chart below (Chart 1) for some examples of common water/solution ratios. Please read before
mixing this product with water. Make sure you adhere to the mixing proportions.
Warning if you mix water with FG-100 premixed (non-concentrate), you will not
be able to generate snow. FG-100C Concentrate 8 oz bottle weight: 0.5 lb.

The T1100 has some simple instructions that must be carefully followed in order to create the
desired evaporative snowfall, ensure the safety of the operators/participants and to protect the
equipment from damage.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
1) Prepare the area you intend to direct your snowfall. Review “Diagram 1” on page 12 which shows
approximate spread of the evaporative snow. Always prepare your snowfall area making sure it is
dry and free of obstructions. Note that if the snowfall surface area is linoleum or smooth, and if the
T1100 is mounted too low (See Chart 2), some akes can create a slippery oor. Always locate the
T1100 in a well-ventilated area. Never block or cover the intake or nozzle discharge of
the T1100 or the internal blower can be damaged.
2) Mount the T1100 on a secure, dry and level platform. Since the larger the ake size the slower
it will be to evaporate, Chart 2 recommends Rotary Switch or Remote settings to minimize residue
on the ground. For safety reasons, the T1100 should be unplugged from the electrical outlet while
placing it in your desired location. The Nozzle should be pointed in the direction you want it to
spray snow. Hang or route the 30 ft. tethered remote as required to the desired operating location
without pinching the wire. Do not operate the T1100 in the rain. The T1100 is not
waterproof. If it gets wet, unplug the snow machine and contact Global Special Effects
technical support at:

819-800 1 0 - 3/16 inch 10 ft*
* 10 ft is probably too low to prevent some residue on the ground.
3) If the snow solution is a concentrate, prepare the snow solution in the empty plastic gallon
bottle provided (located in the T1100 solution bottle well) per the “Solution Mixture” section of this
manual (See Chart 1). If the correct water/concentrate mix is not blended properly, the T1100 may
not create the ideal evaporative snowakes. Place the clear tube in the container with the “Solution
Mixture” and push it down so that the open end reaches the bottom of the lled container. The
pump in the T1100 is self-priming.
4) In order to start the T1100, plug the Snow Machine power cord into an outlet with a 3rd lead
grounded conductor (preferably a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt -GFCI). Next, turn the power

switch “ON” in the back of the T1100. If you are using the DMX features, read the section on DMX
settings to get the proper response. If you are using the remote, set the DMX display on the back
of the T1100 unit to any number between 900-999. Press the “ON” switch on the tethered remote
to start the snowfall. Adjust the dial on the remote to set the desired snowake size (See Chart 2).
Rotate the dial clockwise to obtain larger akes and counterclockwise for smaller akes. If the akes
are sticking to the ground during an initial run, adjust the dial counterclockwise, after drying off the
ground surface (snowakes accumulate more easily on a wet surface). Press “OFF” to turn off the
snow on the tethered remote. Do not operate the T1100 without the clear tube submerged in the
lled solution container.
5) If the solution has drained out of the clear tube during a rest period for
the T1100, it may take a minute or two for the pump to self-prime itself
from the solution container liquid.
6) On the tethered remote, a blinking light signies that the Power is
“ON”. A constant light from the LED signies that the T1100 is blowing
evaporative snow. If the light on the remote is completely off, the unit is
not powered up and cannot be controlled from the remote.
7) To turn the power OFF, push down on the red “O” button on the back
of the unit.
DMX Settings T1100 “The Compact Snow Machine”
The DMX settings are key to the operation of the T1100. The three-digit number on the back of the

*** THE DMX TERMINATOR MUST
BE PLUGGED IN FOR DMX
FUNCTIONALITY TO WORK
PROPERLY ***

The snow machine controller consists of one fan relay, a pump controller and control interface capable
of receiving a DMX signal or a proprietary remote control signal. The DMX address is set via a three digit
rotary switch located on the back of the device. The DMX address is set in a decimal fashion.
The DMX interface is compliant with DMX-512
standards and electrically isolated to 1000VAC. The
starting address can be set from 1 to 509. The DMX
protocol requires 4 dimmers dened as Mode, Cycle
Time, Duration and Flake Size. The Mode dimmer
denes the overall operation of the snow machine
- Off, On, and Momentary. The Mode dimmer will
correspond to the selected start address, with the Cycle
Time, Duration, and Flake Size channels in the following
order.
When the mode channel is set to one of the Momentary
positions (either 5 or 15 min cycle), the Cycle Time and
Duration channels become active. The cycle time channel
establishes the time it takes for the entire event. Duration
channel is the length of time of snow output. The minimum
time of one cycle is 18 seconds with a ten second ON
time, a four second SNEEZE, and a four second WAIT. A
sneeze is when the blower remains on without the pump
and dries the sock, preventing postnasal drip.
The following tables show all the settings that can be attained with the use of the three digit rotary
switch located on the back of the device. An ‘X’ indicates that the number in that position does not
matter for the required result to be attained. Switch A is in the hundreds position, Switch B is in the
tens position, and Switch C is in the ones position.
Table 1 shows that there are six modes in which
the device may operate: Idle, DMX, 5 minute
cycle, 15 minute cycle, always on, and remote.

There is a provision on the controller board for an additional fan control relay rated at 10 amps. This
relay has a completely separate power interface.
The remote control provides a tethered remote control connection to the snow machine. The 3
rotary switches must be at 900 or greater for remote function to be enabled. The remote has control
over the on/o and flake size functions. The flake size knob provides variable settings from small (0)
to large (5) flakes. There is also a status LED to inform the user that the unit is on and powered.
When the unit is powered and the power switch on the remote is set to the o position, the red LED
on the remote will slowly pulse to inform the user that the unit is in standby. When the user changes
the switch to on, the LED will go to a solid red.
While in “remote mode”,
Rotary Switch controls the ake

1If the T1100 does not generate snow, review the following checklist.
a) When turned “ON”, is the Fan Operating? (Air is shooting out the nozzle of the T1100).
Yes: Move on to (b)
No: Check the electric plug interface at the outlet connection, and make sure the remote connector
is connected to the main unit. Check to see if the power switch is “ON” on the main unit. A red
LED light should be illuminated on the back of the T1100 when power is “ON”. Make sure that
the DMX settings meet your desired criteria (see the DMX section of this manual-the unit should
always be operating with settings between 880-899). Also, the LED light on the remote should be
illuminated (blinking) if the main power is “ON” and the DMX setting is in the 900s. A constant
light will illuminate on the remote if snow is being generated. If the lights are not illuminated, call
customer service at 800-745-8599 or the 24 hr tech line at 888-391-SNOW.
b) Is the Pump Operating?
Yes: If you feel the clear plastic tube vibrating, then the pump is operating.
Go to (c)
No: Recheck the DMX settings per the DMX settings in the manual. The unit should always
operate and blow snow with settings between 880 and 899.
Contact customer service at 800-745-8599 or 888-391 SNOW.
c) Check to see if the tube is fully submerged in solution and is not pinched. A hole in the hose
would require replacement. It sometimes takes up to 2 minutes for the self-priming pump to
saturate the nozzle sock with liquid.
d) Set the Rotary Switch between 880 and 899 to prove that the unit operates.
e) Create a new “Solution Mixture”, per the instructions, if the nozzle sock is saturated with liquid
but no snow is being made.
Is the Snow generated very wet or light in volume? Always allow two minutes or so for the T1100 to
come to full operation after an extended storage or for the rst time operating.
f) Remake another batch of your recipe solution, and check your water to solution ratio carefully.
g) Make sure the clear tube is completely submerged in the solution.
h) Contact customer service at 800-745-8599, or call the 24 hr tech line at 888-391-SNOW.

What is Evaporative Snow™
What is Evaporative Snow™
Incorporating Evaporative Snow™In Your Production Design
Global Special Effects is a pioneer of the “evaporative snow” proccess. In order to help you
incorporate “evaporative snow” in your production design, we are providing you the following
explanations as to exactly what it is and how a snow machine works.
The “snow ake” starts as a clear uid in a reservoir or bottle usually found at the back of the
machine. A small plastic feed tube takes the uid from the reservoir to a small nylon sock at the
front of the machine by means of a pump. The sock is mounted to the front end of a high output
blower. The sock material is a very ne mesh weave and acts like hundreds of very tiny bubble
wands, producing clusters of bubbles appearing as “akes”. The “ake” size varies according to the
speed of the pump, and the amount of uid reaching the sock. More uid results in more and larger
clusters of bubbles or “akes”.
The “ake” size is the key to making any evaporative snow truly evaporative and residue
free. Ideally you want to set the ake size so that the snow evaporates just as the snow hits the
ground. Imagine for a moment blowing a traditional soap and water bubble with a bubble wand.
The air pressure in the bubble is greater than the surrounding air pressure, and keeps the bubble
inated, much like a latex balloon. As air currents keep it aloft, it will remain intact until enough
water evaporates from it’s surface, the thinned lm can no longer maintain surface cohesion and
the bubble’s internal air pressure causes it to burst. Evaporative snow uid contains an advanced
evaporative solution to make the “akes” disintegrate more rapidly. The combination of air presure
and solution mixture produces a very esthetically pleasing, moderate snow fall. While you can
certainly create a blizzard effect with these machines, additional safety precautions must be
considered, as the snow will build up on the oor or stage, resulting in a slippery surface.
Air ow and evaporative snow in your production design. First, all snow machines produce a
“cone” of snow which is smallest near the machine and disperses as you get farther away creating a
“curtain effect” (see the Overhead View diagram next page). You can increase the overall effected
area through the use of judiciously placed fans, both near the machine and on the ground. Fans
near the machine (some larger machines have these incorporated into their design) will help disperse
the snow into a larger area. Fans on the ground will also help with dispersion, as well as provide
beautiful updrafts and swirls. Often these machines are used in ballrooms for holiday parties and
occasionally in arenas. The key to coverage in a larger venue (or when you want to make it snow on
the audience at a theatre) is not determined as much by the number of machines as it is by the air
handler’s circulation in the room itself. Air handlers in arenas and many modern ballroom facilities
are designed to re-circulate thousands of cubic feet of air per minute. Experiment with air handler’s
currents to circulate snow around the venue. Staggering the placement and alternating the direction
of the snow machines so that the edges of the air streams from the machines interact in opposing
directions is another technique for creating a swirling effect.
Back lighting and to some extent side lighting is vital to the audience’s visual experience.
If lit from the front only, the effect’s visibility will be poor at best. Lighting can be especially
challenging in a ballroom or other “total environment” setting or venue, when your audience will be
viewing the snow from multiple angles and positions. Ideally you want your lighting to come from
above, yet below the snow machines. Obscuring the snow machines in the dark above the light
sources allows the snow to capture light, adding a sense of wonder to your event.
Noise reduction is another factor to be considered in your production design. To a large
extent it can be covered with music. Global Special Effects engineers have developed the quietest snow
machines using better sound insulation, and quieter blowers such as the T-1600 Snow Machines series.

Control Format for all DMX Snow Machines
Addressing
DMX starting address is manually programmed via thumb dial switches. Valid starting addresses are 001-512. The
Snow Machines utilize four channels.
The first channel has four settings:
0-63 Snow Machine is "off"
64-127 Allows for a 0 to 5 minute cycle time based on the settings of the 2nd channel
(This setting turns on the short internal timer circuit)
128-191 Allows for a 0 to 15 minute cycle time based on the settings of the 2nd channel
(This setting turn on the long internal timer circuit)
192-255 Snow Machine is set to "on"
The second channel: **
When Channel 1 is set from 64-127 then the second channel sets the overall duration of cycle time
anywhere from zero (0) to five minutes (255).
When Channel 1 is set from 128-191 then the second channel sets the overall duration of cycle time
anywhere from zero minutes (0) to 15 minutes (255).
The third channel: **
Sets the % of "on time" during the duration set by the second channel. This value is a range from 0(0) to
100%(255)
The fourth channel:
Sets the amount of snow output from minimum output (1) to 100%(255). This channel is effective anytime
the machine is “on”
**During all timer-controlled modes, internal limits enforce a minimum on time of at least 10seconds and a
minimum off time of at least four seconds.
