Quick Start
Quick Start
You are no doubt eager to switch on the system and try it out by making a lot of
fog and haze. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make
the time to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this
manual.
Setting up
Locate the head(s) in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the effect
outlets.
Connect the fluid tubes from the head units to the base unit. A maximum of 2
heads of the same type (fog or haze) can be connected to each output on the
base unit. If you are connecting 2 heads, use a T-connector to link the tubes.
Connect the heads to the base unit with RJ45 control cables. If you are
connecting 2 heads to an output, the second head is linked from the first.
Fill the fluid reservoir in the base unit with RUSH Club Smoke Dual Fluid only.
Use of other fluid will void the warranty.
Connect a suitably rated power supply to the heads and to the base unit using
the supplied IEC cable. The power requirements are:
Base unit
0.9 A @ 230 V (EU model)
1.7 A@ 120 V (US model)
Fog Heads
5.1 A @ 230 V (EU model)
8.6 A @ 120 V (US model)
Haze Heads
4.0 A @ 230 V (EU model)
7.6 A @ 120 V (US model)
Now set the mains switches, on the rear of each head and on the top of the base
unit, to the ‘ON’ position. The display will show HEAT. If the display shows OFF
use the menu panel to set the RUNF option to CONT. After about 6-8 minutes
the display should show CONT and the system will begin producing fog/haze. If
the display shows RDY use the menu panel to set the RUNF option to CONT to
start fog.
Once the system has heated the first time you will need to prime the pipework
using the 4 prime buttons at the bottom of the control panel.
Making fog and haze
If you want to adjust the fog density manually, press the Menu < > buttons until
the display shows FOG, then press the Enter button and use the Value up/down
buttons to select a value above 0%. The Fog/Haze density can be adjusted using
the HAZE menu the same way.
You can also adjust the fan speed using the FAN menu.
If no fog/haze is produced it may be necessary to prime the system,
press the Menu <> buttons until the display shows PRME, then press
the Value Up button so the display shows Y, then press the Enter
button.

Installation and setting up

Installation and setting up
DANGER! DO NOT operate the system until you have read and observed all the
precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 5.
Location
The RUSH Club Smoke Dual heads are designed to be located on the floor or
may be suspended using the hanging bracket. The heads can operate in any
orientation from vertically down to vertically up. They must not be used upside
down.
If the heads are to be suspended, ensure the mounting surface can support the
weight of the head. Do not suspend the heads over areas where people will be
underneath. Use only the hanging bracket to suspend the head.
Ensure that there is at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance all-round the head and at
least 600 mm (24 in.) in front of the effect output.
The base pump unit can be located in any convenient location, but must be
within 10 m (32.8 ft.) of the furthest haze head or 50 m (164 ft.) of the furthest fog
head. It must be the lowest point of the system and not more than 10 m (32.8 ft.)
below the highest head. Keep 150 mm (5.9 in.) clearance around the unit and
300 mm (11.8 in.) above the unit.
AC power
Before using the system, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug that
fits the local power outlets is installed on the mains cable provided and on the
mains cable of each head.
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated:
• For EU (230 V) use fit a plug rated 6 A minimum
• For US (120 V) use fit a plug rated 10 A minimum
When installing the plug, 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.

Haze Heads
4.0 A @ 230 V (EU model)
7.6 A @ 120 V (US model)
Check that the local AC voltage is appropriate, as indicated on the system’s
serial number label. If your AC voltage is outside the appropriate range, do not
use the system. Contact Martin Service and Support for assistance.
Setting up
Fill the fluid tank only with Martin RUSH Club Smoke Dual Fluid (see page 23).
Up to two heads of the same type (fog or haze) may be connected to each fluid
output of the pump unit. Push the fluid tubing into the connections on the head
and the pump unit and secure on the heads using the locking screw. If two heads
are being connected to an output, a T-connector must be fitted in the fluid tubing.
It is recommended that if you are using Haze heads you should
connect them to channel 1
Connect the RJ45 control connection on the heads to the pump unit. If two heads
are being connected to a channel, use the RJ45 link output on the first head to
connect the second head. The RJ45 connectors are linked together internally
and can be used as either an input or an output.

Installation and setting up
If DMX control is being used, connect the base unit to the DMX line (see page
21). If the Digital Remote Control is being used (optional accessory), connect the
remote to the Remote socket (see page 9).
Final checks
Before applying power to the system, verify the following:
the system is safely located or installed and meets the location
requirements stated on page 13
the operator is familiar with, and able to comply with, the requirements
for safe operation listed on page 5.
the fluid is one of the genuine Martin fluids listed under fluid options on
page 23.
the system is electrically grounded (earthed)
the AC power distribution circuits and lines are adequately rated for the
current load
Turning on the power
Ensure the power switch on each head is turned on. Turn on the main power
switch on the base unit located next to the power inlet. The display will show
HEAT. If the display shows OFF, go to the RUNF menu on the digital control
panel and set the option to CONT. The system will remember its state from when
it was turned off last time, so it will only power up in OFF mode if you have
previously disabled the heaters.
After about 6-8 minutes if no DMX is connected the display should show CONT
and the system will begin producing fog/haze. If the display shows RDY go to the
RUNF menu and set the option to CONT to start fog/haze. If DMX is connected,
the display will show DMX when the system is ready.
Each head has a red and green light on the side to indicate heating status:
RED: Heating
GREEN: Ready
Once the Ready light has come on, the head will continue to heat for a time, and
the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature.
The first time you run the system after connecting fluid pipes you will
need to prime the system. See section “Priming system with Quick
access buttons” on page 19.
