1 MEET THE MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET!
The MAGICFX® PSYCO2JET is a special eects machine that blasts CO2into the air.
The MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET is equipped with a CO2powered rotating nozzle. A solenoid
valve controls the supply of liquid CO2to the nozzle. From the nozzle, the CO2escapes
through the output pipe. A blast of escaping CO2is accompanied by a strong hissing
sound and a white plume of smoke will be visible from the output pipe. The nozzle
with output pipe is mounted on a180° rotatable pipe, driven by an electric motor. By
blasting and varying the output direction the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET delivers
spectacular eects.
The MAGICFX® PSYCO2JET is outtted for operation:
• with DMX and optionally RDM;
• in RAW mode or in PRESET mode;
• in sequence with multiple machines.
The MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET is mounted on a truss or on stage.

unit in the control sequence. Using a DMX Terminator improves
signal reliability.
1.8 RDM CAPABILITY
Remote Device Management Protocol (RDM) is an enhancement of the DMX512
communication protocol. RDM can be used for conguration and status monitoring
while DMX512 takes care of the default controlling.
For RDM you will need a RDM compatible controller. The following RDM parameters
are supported by the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET.

• Only authorised persons may carry out work with the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET.
• Do not use the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET if there are people or animals in the
direct output.
• Make sure that children, unauthorised people and animals do not obtain
access to the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET.
• Make sure there are no freestanding objects or objects that can be damaged
by the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET within the output distance.
• Do not use the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET without a Controller, Dimmer or DMX
Pack.
• Do not connect more units to a single electrical circuit than the installed fuse
is able to handle. (Calculate the summed load with the electrical data from
Chapter 1)
• Do not remove any safeguards, safety caps and safety symbols.
• All required safety devices must be in good condition and function properly.
• Ensure sucient lighting of the surroundings.
• Keep the workplace clean.
2.2 CO2
The MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET uses liquid CO2as input. The application of CO2involves
serious risks. Make sure that you are well informed on these risks before installation
and/or operation. Always use approved CO2cylinders, hoses and connections.
Always consult your CO2supplier for regulations and instructions on safe installation
and use.
MAGIC FX is not liable for unsafe situations, accidents and damage that are the result
of incorrect working with CO2and CO2cylinders.

MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET —User and Installation Manual 17
WARNING Inadequate installation and/or operation of a CO2powered
machine and CO2cylinders can lead to death or serious injury.
Always follow the instructions from this manual, from your CO2
supplier and from local authorities.
2.3 INDOOR USE
The MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET is designed for outdoor use and use in well-ventilated
indoor spaces. When used indoors, make sure you take the necessary preparations.
These preparations could include, but are not limited to:
• Consulting your CO2supplier.
• Calculating the reduction of oxygen for the indoor space.
• Checking the location for spots where CO2could accumulate and taking
preventive actions.
• Installing CO2monitoring devices that will warn for hazardous CO2levels.
DANGER Do not use the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET in poorly ventilated
conned spaces. Exposure to high levels of CO2gas can cause
symptoms like headache, nausea, loss of consciousness or even
death.
2.4 RIGGING
Please follow the European and national guidelines for safe rigging and trussing.
2.5 NOISE LEVEL
The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 118 dB(A). This level of noise
is only reached during the short instances that the CO2output is active. Therefore
hearing protection is not necessary.
WARNING Do not operate the MAGICFX®PSYCO2JET close to yourself or to
others for a long period of time. If you experience any hearing
loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the
unit.
