1. Procedure of the Tiny F07
The Tiny F07 is a battery-operated, microprocessor-controlled mini fog generator.
It is based (as most fog generators) on the vaporizer principle, i.e. a glycol fluid is
evaporated and condenses into fog when leaving the fog nozzle. However, the
Tiny F07 only heats when fog is actually produced.
Due to the Sleep-mode the Tiny F07 uses only 15 mA in idle status and conse-
quently it may remain connected to the the battery for several hours with no
discharging to speak of. Therefore the standby time is approx. 250 hours with a
fully charged battery.
When emitting fog a strong current of 5 to 6 A runs with peak levels of 12 to 13
A.
The following sequence produces fog:
a) Warming up (1 second, without pumping fluid).
b) The pump runs
c) Post-run mode (15 seconds to vaporize the fluid remaining in the vaporizer).
In the post-run mode the fogging process can be started via the start button in
the lid or via the start button on the cable remote or radio remote.

2. Safety instructions
A fog machine is not a toy!
•Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. Danger of getting burnt.
•Occasionally very hot droplets of fluid 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-flammable, 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 flammable, combustible objects and
objects sensitive to heat.
•Glycol is alcohol and burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible flame. Never
point the fog at strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects.
•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.
•Only use the supplied TINY-FLUID. Different types of fluid do not generate the
fog you require and destroy your fog generator.
•Do not swallow the fog fluid. 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 fluid.
•Spilled fluid or splashed fluid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the fluid
and dispose of it according to regulations. TINY-FLUID is completely water-
soluble and biodegradable.
•Fog may activate smoke detectors.
Artificially-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 sound human being has been
harmed because of using our device to produce artificial fog. However, 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
fluid.
We, however, recommend: People with health problems or problems of the
respiratory tract or with an inclination for allergies should avoid any contact
with artificially-made fog.

5.1 Selecting the Location
The location for the Tiny F07 must
•be dry
•guarantee sufficient air supply
•have sufficient distance (at least 60 cm) from inflammable materials
•have very little vibration
•have an ambient operating temperature between 5°C and 45°C
•have a relative air humidity of less than 80%.
5.2 Mounting the Tiny F07
If the Tiny F07 is to be built in props or similar, make sure that a fog-free air
supply is guaranteed. Too high a fog concentration can condense inside the
machine and can result in damages caused by moisture.
When installing the Tiny F07 make sure that
•no fog is passed back into the fog generator,
•no condensed fluid runs into the apparatus,
•the air vents [1] are not covered or concealed,
• no objects jut out into the fog nozzle [2]. This may destroy the vaporizer.
5. Operating the Tiny F07
4. Fluid
The Tiny F07 is built to be used with original Look TINY-FLUID. Use of other
liquids will clog the vaporizer and void the warranty.
Please do not use Tiny-fluid if it looks blue or green. This can clog the vaporizer!
Note: If the Tiny F07 will not be in use for a long period, please empty the fluid
tank and pour the fluid back into the original fluid bottle despatched with the
unit.
4.1 General

5. Operating the Tiny F07
5.3 Starting up
a) Pour the TINY-FLUID into the fluid bottle and firmly lock the bottle. Plug the
connecting spout of the fluid tubing into the quick connector of the fluid
bottle (audible click).
Check the cleanness of the connecting spout, so that no dirt (fluff etc.) can be
sucked in by the pump. Even the smallest impurity immediately leads to clog-
ging of the machine.
b) Connect the machine and the battery-pack to the delivered cable, using the
right sockets.
c) Press the start button in the lid of the machine [4]. After approx. 1 second the
unit generates fog according to the fogging time preset by the factory.
If you would like to control the machine via the cable remote or radio remote,
connect the delivered cable for the remote or the receiver of the radio remote
to the machine. You can start the fogging process by pressing the start button
at the cable remote or radio remote.
Caution: Do not put anything into the fog nozzle. This may destroy the vaporizer
and it then has to be changed (see point 8.1)
Sleep-mode: After approx. 1 minute the Tiny F07 automatically switch to the
Sleep-mode. The yellow LED [5] does not light anymore. The machine can be
activated at any time by pressing the start button at the lid, the cable remote
or the radio remote.
5.4 Programming a fixed fogging time
For some applications it will be useful to program in a fixed fog amount, which
can be easily reproduced later.
The shortest fog time is pre-programmed. If a new fog time is programmed,
the pre-programmed fog time will be deleted.
a) Connect the battery-pack and the cable remote to the machine.
b) Press and hold the start button in the machines lid [4]. If the requested fog-
ging time is reached, press the start button at the cable remote shortly to
confirm the fogging period. Now the fogging time is saved and the start button
in the machines lid [4] can be released.
5.4.1 Programming the fogging time

The microprocessor save the fogging time and this programmed fogging time
now can be recalled by pressing the start button on the cable remote or at the
transmitter of the radio remote (option) shortly as long as no new fogging period
has been programmed in.
The programmed fogging time cannot be recalled by pressing the start button
in the machines lid [4]. If the start button in the lid is pressed, the Tiny F07 will
produce fog as long as the button is hold down, no matter whether a fogging
time has been programmed in.
5. Operating the Tiny F07
The programmed fogging time can be deleted in two ways:
1) Press the start button in the machines lid [4] shortly and press the start button
on the cable remote for confirmation. The programmed fogging time is now
deleted.
2) Disconnect the machine from the battery-pack, press and hold the start button
on the cable remote and connect the machine to the battery-pack. The
programmed fogging time is now deleted.
The Tiny F07 now produces fog as long as the start button in the machines lid
[4], on the cable remote or at the transmitter of the radio remote will be pressed
and hold.
5.4.2 Delete a programmed fogging time
5.5 Battery Status Display
