1. Introduction
The base•low•pro from hazebase is a CO2low fogger like no other. Create amazing low lying fog when used
with either the hazebase base•highpower foggers.
2. Safety Instructions
A fog machine is not a toy!
Damages are apparent by improper use or non-compliance with the operating instructions in their own
responsibility of the user. Structural changes to safety-critical components on the machine are strictly prohi-
bited. If you open the appliance yourself, so the manufacturers warranty void. Please also see the attached
warnings and instructions on the device. Use of other uids will void the warranty on the parts that come into
contact directly with the uid.
2.1 Scalding Hazard and General Safety
• Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. Danger of getting burnt. Occasionally very hot droplets of uid
may escape when in operation. Thus never aim at persons directly and keep a minimum distance of 3 m
to the nozzle.
• Never touch the nozzle when in operation. Danger of getting burnt.
• The location for the machine must be non-ammable, non-combustible and not sensitive to heat. It has to
be twice as big as the machine.
• Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to all ammable, combustible objects and objects sensitive to heat.
• Glycol is a chemical alcohol and burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible ame. Never point the fog at
strong sources of ignition like re or pyrotechnic effects.
• During operation small amounts of hot uid-drops may emerge Therefore you should make sure, that
these do not become a danger to anyone.
• Do not swallow the fog uid. Keep it away from children. In case of eye contact, rinse with a lot of water.
Consult a doctor should you have accidentally swallowed some uid.
• Never open the machine and leave the machine unattended when connected to a power supply.
• The visibility has to be more than 2 m in rooms where people walk around.
• Fog may activate smoke detectors.
• Spilled uid or splashed uid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the uid and dispose of it according
to regulations. hazebase fog liquid is an enviromentally safe product and it can be recycled biologically.
Articially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method used here to produce fog, with a
device which works according to the vaporizer principle, is the most harmless one. No case has so far been
reported in which a human being has been harmed because of using our device to produce articial fog. Ho-
wever, this can only be guaranteed if the professional fog generators are used accordingly, i.e. at the correct
vaporization temperatures as well as with the correctly mixed fog uid.
We recommend: People with health problems or problems of the respiratory tract or with
an inclination for allergies should avoid any contact with articially-made fog!

2.2 Working with CO2
The handling with CO2carbon dioxide as well as the connection and commissioning is necessarily carried out
by trained technical personnel .
Is the carbon dioxide concentration in the room is too high , threatening suffocation . The maximum allowable
workplace concentration is 5000 ml / m3 MAK value . Please observe the regulations for handling carbon
dioxide could be different in other the country.
The hose supplied is designed 1 1/4“ right - male - threaded for connection to a W x 21.8 . If the CO2bottle
have a different threaded connection , so an appropriate adapter must be used.
3. Commissioning of base•low•pro
3.3 Connection diagram of the CO2bottles
If you need ttings for your CO2 bottle, see chapter 11 for more information about accessories.
3.1 Selecting of the location
The location in which the base•low•pro is to be operated must be dry:
• free from dusty or polluted air
• free from vibrations
• located on an non-ammable place or surface
• Well-ventilated with fog-free air keeping the ambient operating temperature between 5°C and 45°C and
the relative air humidity below 80%

3.4 First Steps
1. Connect the DMX output of the fog machine via 5 -pin XLR DMX cable (I) of the base•low•pro. If your
fogger has a PowerCon connector exhibit ( max . 3 kW / 1kW for US) you can connect this to the power
output ( G ) of the base•low•pro.
2. Connect the supplied security hose to the CO2 bottle and connect connector ( K ) .
Safety Instructions:
Before connecting the connecting tube check whether all threads and ttings are clean. To ensure that no
CO2 can escape uncontrolled, tighten screw with a suitable tool.
3. Open the valve of the CO2 bottle completely
4. The supplied PowerCon cable to connector ( H ) plug. Is the plug rotating rightward until it snapped.
5. Insert the plug in an sockets connection.
6. In order for proper operation of the base•low•pro make sure that the connected fogger has programed
the DMX start address „001“.
7. Now the base•low•pro is ready to start.
Wait until the connected fogger is fully heated. This takes about 7min at Hazebase foggers. For more informa-
tion, please refer to the manual of your fog machine.

and whether the base•low•pro is controlled per
over Ethernet.
M) Current CO2 consumption base•low•pro Q) Current output values of fog , air and CO2via you
can change this via MODIFY. (See section 4.2)
N) RESET value of (M) when a new bottle was atta-
ched. This is only a guideline.
