Introduction
The Radiance Hazer is a compact unit for producing a resilient light enhancing haze quickly.
Adjustable output allows for the venue to be hazed just prior to use and then adjust to maintain
levels during the event. The exclusive chambered 4-Port Rapid Clean Vaporizer is the heart of
the unit. The easy-clean design allows for simple servicing and fast return to operation. The
robust single lock-pin bracket serves as an adjustable floor stand, truss mount hanger and
carry handle. Users can select from 3 different modes of control. Hand held remote, DMX, or
stand-alone mode could be used dependent on their application. Jugs of 2 or 4 liter in size can
be used in the integral holder. A 500-watt heater allows for a fast warm-up time. The output
port has over 200 cfm of air to direct and assist dispersion. Neutron Haze Fluid has become
the preferred form of product for use around personnel and property. The Radiance Hazer will
produce a quality haze, while offering the benefits of the unique properties of the fluid.

Operating Procedure
1) Insert a 2 or 4 Litre jug of Neutron Fluid into
the fluid jug holder.
2) Remove the cap and break the foil seal. In-
sert the pickup tube into the jug and tighten the
lid. Ensure the pickup end will sit at the lower
end if the unit is not mounted level.
3) Plug the Hand Remote cable into the rear
connector marked remote. Note that DMX con-
trol will override the hand remote settings. DMX
control is indicated with the valid DMX light on
solid.
Operation with Hand Remote
Stand Alone Operation
1) Insert a 2 or 4 Litre jug of Neutron Fluid into the
fluid jug holder.
2) Remove the cap and break the foil seal. Insert
the pickup tube into the jug and tighten the lid.
Ensure the pickup end will sit at the lowest end if the
unit is not mounted level.
3) Control is limited to 8 steps and OFF for the
assist fan and the haze - rate. The DMX switches
are used to select the desired operation. The ‘Hun-
dreds’ switch must be set to 6 before the unit is
turned on. This starts the unit in stand-alone
mode. This mode is indicated by the valid DMX
light flashing. The ‘Tens’ switch controls the haze
rate. ‘0’ is off, 1 - 8 runs from low to full (9 sets the
same level as 8). The ‘Ones’ switch controls the assist fan in the same way, 1 - 8 is low to full.
The fan has a minimum setting and should always run when the power is applied. The fan
only speeds up when haze is issued.
4) Plug the unit into a suitable power source. Turn the main power switch on and it will illumi-
nate if power is present. The valid DMX light should also now be flashing. The unit requires
about 7 minutes to heat before haze can be produced.

DMX Operation
1) Insert a 2 or 4 Litre jug of Neutron Haze Fluid into the jug holder.
2) Remove the cap and break the foil seal. Insert the pickup tube into the jug and tighten the
lid. Ensure the pickup end will sit at the lowest end if the unit is not mounted level.
3) Select the desired DMX address for the hazer. Note that the hazer occupies two sequential
addresses. The selected address is the Haze - rate and the selected address + 1 is the fan
speed. Control is from 0 - 100% with ‘0’ turning the output off. Insert the DMX line into “DMX
in” connector.
4) Plug the unit into a suitable power source. Turn the main power switch on and it will illumi-
nate if power is present. The valid DMX light will be solid when DMX signal is present. The
unit requires about 7 minutes to heat before haze can be produced.

4) Plug the unit into a suitable power source. Turn the main power switch on and it will illumi-
nate if power is present. The unit requires about 7 minutes to heat before haze can be pro-
duced. The Hand Remote indicates the heating cycle by flashing the haze switch light. When
the unit is ready to haze the light will be solid.
5) The haze rate can be switched on and off and varied using the Hand Remote controls.
Haze - rate increases as the variflow knob turns clockwise.
6) The assist fan is always on low. Fan speed can be increased by rotating the fan knob
clockwise. The fan only speeds up during haze output.
7) The interval knob is used to provide cycled output. It must be set fully counter-clockwise
when not in use. The hazer will produce 10 seconds of output at the requested flow spaced by
1 - 300 seconds dependent on the knob position.

Cleaning Procedure
6
Note: Cleaning is recommended after every 25 litres of fluid.
1) Using a #2 Philips screw driver remove the 4 screws.Two
by the jog holder and two on the rear, above the fan. (Fig. 1)
2) Lift the rear of the lid up then slide it forward.
3) Using a pair of Needle-nose pliers remove the 2 Hold-
Down Springs; this will release the insulation cover and
allow access to the 4-Port Rapid Clean Vaporizer. Grasp a
spring and lift until the spring disengages from its retaining
hole. (Fig. 2)
4) Remove the Insulation Cover. (Fig. 3)
5) Remove the 4 nuts from the top of the 4-Port R-C-V using
a 7/16” wrench. (Fig. 4)
6) Remove all 4 nuts, lock washer and flat washers as well
as the aluminum top plate and gasket material. (Fig. 5)
7) By removing the silicone tube from the inlet tube, the
chamber can now be held over a container for cleaning.
8) Use a flat screwdriver to clean the 4-Port R-C-V by scrap-
ing away loose deposits. Brush out all of the ash material
from each of the 4 ports. A light coating is okay; the ports do
not need to be spotless. (Fig. 6)
9) Use a 5/64” drill bit to clean the nozzle. Ensure both
nozzles are cleaned of any debris.
10) Ensure the mating block surfaces are clean to allow for
proper heat transfer to take place before replacing the
chamber

• Make sure the main power cord is disconnected from power before at-
tempting to remove the outer cover
• Make sure unit has cooled sufficiently to perform the operation

10) Replace the gasket with a new one. Ensure all of the
surfaces are clean.
11) Reinstall the aluminum top plate and place flat and lock
washers on the bolts (Fig. 6) with a 7/16” wrench, tighten
until the lock washers flatten down and add 1/4 turn.
12) Reinstall the Insulation cover and attach the hold down
springs on both sides. Ensure that none of the wires are
pinched by the cover. (Fig. 7)
13) Verify that all of the hoses are connected.
14) Insert the tabs on the Radiance chassis cover into the
slots located on the front of the Radiance Hazer. Slide the lid
back until it drops into place. Using a #2 Philips screw driver
fasten the lid by installing the 4 screws while ensuring the
fluid tube is not pinched. (Fig. 8 & 9)
Note: Place the machine is a well-ventilated area. Allow the
machine to heat up following the installation of a new gasket.
A very strong odour will be emitted as the unit heats up and
sets the new gasket. This will dissipate in 15 minutes.
