1. Procedure of the Tiny F07
The Tiny FX is a battery-powered, microprocessor-controlled mini fog generator. It
is based (as most fog generators are) on the vaporizer principle, i.e. a glycol fluid is
evaporated and condenses into fog when leaving the fog nozzle. However, the Tiny
FX only heats when fog is actually produced.
The machine switches off automatically after approx. one minute. Thus, the electronics
of the Tiny FX does not use any current.
If the receiver of the radio remote is connected to the machine, some current will
be needed. Please note: Thus, the battery can be destroyed by completely discharging
and cannot be used anymore!
Generally the battery must be disconnected and regularly recharged (at least
every 6 months) if the machine will be not in use or stored for a longer period.
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) Warm 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.

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.

because of using our device to produce artificial fog. However, this can only be gua-
ranteed if the professional fog generators are used appropiately, 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 re-
spiratory tract or with an inclination for allergies should avoid any contact with
artificially-made fog.

4. Fluid
The Tiny FX is built to be used with original Look Tiny-Fluid. Use of other liquids will
clog the vaporizer and void the warranty.
4.1 General
The fluid reservoir can be refilled using the delivered refilling set [12]. Thus, the
reservoirs can be used several times.
a) Mount 5 ml of Tiny-Fluid from the original fluid bottle with the refilling set.
b) Connect the adaptor of the refilling set with the reservoir you would like to refill.
c) Disconnect the adaptor and screw the refilled reservoir into the Tiny FX. If you refill
reservoirs for stock, please use the covers to avoid small bits of dirt inside the reservoir
and make sure the reservoir cannot leak.

5.2 Mounting the Tiny FX
5.3 Starting up
If the Tiny FX 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 FX make sure that
• nofogispassedbackintothefoggenerator,
• nocondenseduidrunsintotheapparatus,
• theairvents[1]arenotcoveredorconcealed,
• noobjectsprotrudeintothefognozzle[2].Thismaydestroythevaporizer.
a) Remove both covers from the already filled fluid reservoir. Screw the reservoir into
the Tiny FX.
The covers should be stored. The reservoirs can be refilled with the delivered refilling
set and can be used several times. Check the cleanliness, so that no dirt (fluff etc.) can
be sucked in by the pump. Even the smallest impurity immediately leads to clogging
of the machine.
b) Connect the machine and the battery-pack to the battery cable, using the right
sockets. The yellow LED [5] will start to flash.
c) Press and hold the start button in the lid of the machine [4]. After approx. 1 second
the unit generates fog as long as the button is hold.
If you would like to control the machine via the cable remote or radio remote, connect
the control 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)
If the Tiny FX is not generating fog, the machine switches off automatically after
approx. 1 minute. The yellow LED [5] does not light anymore. The machine can still be
activated at any time by pressing the start button in the machines lid, the cable remote
or the radio remote.

5. Operating the Tiny FX
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.
The microprocessor saves the fogging time and this programmed fogging time can
now be recalled by pressing the start button on the cable remote or at the transmitter
of the radio remote (option) momentarily provided no new fogging period has been
programmed in or not.
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 FX will produce
fog as long as the button is held down, regardless of whether a fogging time has been
programmed in.
The programmed fogging time can be deleted in two ways. Therefor connect the
battery-pack and the cable remote or the receiver of the radio remote to the machi-
ne.
1) Press the start button in the machines lid [4] momentarily and press the start but-
ton on the cable remote for confirmation. The programmed fogging time is now
deleted.
2) Press and hold the start button on the cable remote and confirm by pressing the
start button in the machines lid [4].
The Tiny FX now produces fog for as long as the start button in the machines lid [4],
on the cable remote or the transmitter of the radio remote is held down.
5.4.2 Delete a programmed fogging time
a) Connect the battery-pack and the cable remote or the receiver of the radio remote
to the machine.
b) Press and hold the start button in the machines lid [4]. When the requested fogging
time is reached, press and release the start button at the cable remote or one of
the buttons at the transmitter of the radio remote to confirm the fogging period.
