Preventing electric shocks
•Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.
•Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.
•Before connecting the machine to power, check that the voltage
indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power
voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the
machine. Contact Martin Service and Support for assistance.
•Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.
•If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,
defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine and
contact Martin Service and Support for assistance. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
•Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not
in use.
•This machine is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet
outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not
expose to high-pressure water jets.
•Do not spill low- fog fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled,
disconnect AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto
electronic parts, take the machine out of service and contact Martin
Service and Support for advice.
•Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer any
service not described in this manual to Martin Service and Support.
•Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
•Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim low-fog output at
electrical connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
•Low-fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point low-fog output at sources of
ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
•Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
•Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
•Provide a minimum free space of 60 cm (24 in.) around the machine.
•Ensure free and unobstructed airflow to and around the machine. If in a
confined space, ensure a supply of cool external air.
•Keep the machine at least 60 cm (24 in.) away from combustible and
heat-sensitive materials.
•Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 35° C (95° F).
•Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
•This machine must be operated horizontally on the floor only. Do not use
the bumper bars / lifting handles as rigging attachment points. The unit
should not be used overhead.

Safety information
•Ensure wheels are locked to prevent unintended movement of the
machine.
•Check that all external covers are securely fastened.
•Do not operate the machine with missing or damaged covers or shields.
•In the event of an operating problem, stop using the machine
immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a
machine that is obviously damaged.
•Do not modify the machine in any way not described in this manual or
install other than genuine Martin parts.
•Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified
technician.
•Low-fog output can cause condensation. Floors and surfaces may
become slippery. Check these frequently and wipe dry as necessary to
avoid any danger of slipping.
•Ensure at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) visibility in areas where low-fog is being
produced.
•Low-fog fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution that may present
health risks.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Drink 1-2 glasses of water and
seek medical attention.
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES: In case of accidental contact:
EYES: Hold eyes open and flush with water for ten minutes, seek medical
attention if irritation persists. SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and
rinse skin for 20 minutes, seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Consult the fluids' SDS for more detailed safety information at
http://www.martin.com/safety-documents
•This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
machine.
Preventing breathing problems
•A machine can operate safely only with the low-fog fluid it is designed
for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Low-fog fluid
options” on page 20 or you may cause the release of toxic gases,
presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the
machine.
•Do not create dense low-fog in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
•Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or
respiratory conditions such as asthma) to fog output.
•Do not point low-fog output directly at a person’s face or at face height.

Product overview
Product description
The Glaciator Dynamic is a low-fog machine designed for a variety of
applications such as performance based art, in touring and fixed installations. It
can be easily integrated with most control systems currently used in the
entertainment industry such as DMX with full RDM capability for remote setup
and status monitoring. Additionally the integrated digital remote control can be
operated on the machine or removed and used at a distance for quick and easy
deployment.
The low-fog effect is attained by cooling the fog output from the heat exchanger
until it is at a temperature lower than the ambient in which the machine is
operating. Air is added to the fog, prior to cooling, from the integrated fan in the
effect carburetor. This increases the volume of the fog effect and allows the low-
fog to be propelled through the low-fog outlet. A fluid reservoir with 5 l capacity is
provided for low-fog fluid. To allow reliable unattended operation, the fluid level
is monitored electronically, and the device shut down if necessary. Waste
condensation is pumped into a separate 0.5 l reservoir for convenient disposal
on the top of the machine.
Optional accessories are available from Martin which provide enhanced
solutions for low-fog creation such as the Ducting Kit, Fog Blade, External Fluid
Reservoir Kit and Softcover for protection in transit. Detailed information about
these value added accessories can be found in this manual under Accessories
on page 30.

Installation and setting up
Installation and setting up
DANGER! DO NOT operate the machine until you have read and observed all
the precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 4.
Location
The machine is designed to be operated in a dry location on the floor and should
be kept in horizontal orientation. The maximum deviation from horizontal is 2°.
Ensure the machine has at least 60 cm (24 in.) clearance all-round and at least
60cm (24 inches) away from combustible and heat-sensitive materials. Ensure
the same distance from the fog output if ducted.
AC power
Before using the machine, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug
that matches the local power receptacle is installed on the power cable
provided.
This machine has a high earth leakage current and must only be operated from
supplies with ground fault detection set at 30 mA. Only use an industrial
receptacle/plug combination that reliably ensures earth connectivity before line
connection. For example plugs and sockets conforming to any of the following:-
IEC 60309-1
IEC 60309-2
UL 1682/1686
CSA C22.2
For operating from supplies in the range 208 to 250
V
, a minimum rated
supply capacity of 20 A is required.
When installing the plug to the machine’s mains cable, follow the plug
manufacturer’s instructions and connect pins as follows:
Yellow and green wire to ground (earth), blue wire to neutral and brown wire to
live.
The table below shows some common pin identification schemes.
wire function marking screw colour
brown live “L” yellow or brass
blue neutral “N” silver
green/yellow earth green
