Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of injury due to
electric shock, burns, falls and respiratory problems!
Read this manual before operating the machine, follow the safety precautions
listed below, and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the
machine. Use the system only as described in this manual and in accordance
with local laws and regulations.
If you have questions about how to operate the machine safely, or if you have
followed the instructions in this manual and the machine is malfunctioning,
please contact Martin Service.
Preventing electric shocks
Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.
Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.
Before connecting the fog machine to power, check that the voltage
indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power
voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the
machine. Contact Martin Service for assistance.
Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.
If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,
defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine
and contact Martin Service for assistance. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not
in use.
This system is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet
outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not
expose to high-pressure water jets.
Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect
AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic
parts, take the system out of service and contact Martin for advice.

Safety information

Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer
any service not described in this manual to Martin.
Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim fog output at electrical
connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
The fog produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it
leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally.
Keep people and objects at least 1 meter (39 inches) away from the fog
output nozzle.
Do not touch the fog output nozzle during or after use –it becomes
extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.
Fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point fog output at sources of ignition
such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
Provide a minimum free space of 100 mm (4 in.) around the machine.
Provide a minimum free space of 500 mm (20 in.) around fans and air
vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the
machine.
Keep the machine at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from combustible and
heat-sensitive materials.
Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
Ensure that the surface on which the machine is located or installed can
safely hold the weight of the machine.
Do not install the machine over areas where people are present.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Fog machines can cause condensation. Do not point the output at
smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these
frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.
Ensure at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) visibility in areas where fog is being
produced.
Fog fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution but may present health
risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye contact
occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and obtain
medical advice.

Safety information
Preventing breathing problems
A fog machine can operate safely only with the fog fluid it is designed
for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Approved fluid
types” on page 16 or you may cause the release of toxic gases,
presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the
machine.
Do not create dense fog in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or
respiratory conditions such as asthma) to fog output.
Do not point fog output directly at a person’s face or at face height.

Quick Start
9
Quick Start
You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot
of fog. 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 machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the fog
output.
Fill the fluid tank with Martin approved fluid (see page 16).
Connect the machine to a suitably rated power source. The power requirements
are:
EU Models - 1890 W, 220-240 V
US Models –1890 W, 100-130 V
Now set the mains switch, at the rear of the machine, to the ‘ON’ position and
press the grey “stand-by” button.
The ‘Ready’ LED will flash indicating the machine is heating up; allow around
10 minutes for the machine to reach operating temperature. Once the machine
has heated the ‘Ready’ LED will stop flashing and be permanently on.
Making fog
Once the machine has heated up, hold the FOG button on the remote to start
the fog output.
It may be necessary to prime the machine, to do this simply hold down the FOG
button and turn the output knob to maximum. Keep the button held until the fog
output is strong and steady. Then turn the knob back to the required output
level and release the FOG button.
You can set the fog density by turning the knob. If the knob is turned fully
counter-clockwise, no fog will be produced.

Installation and setting up
Installation and setting up
DANGER! DO NOT operate the fog machine until you have read and observed
all the precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 4.
Location
The fog machine may be located on the floor or may be suspended using the
hanging bracket. If suspending the machine, a standard hanging clamp
(available from Martin) should be attached to the machines hanging bracket with
an M12 bolt and nyloc nut. Additionally, a secondary backup device, a safety cable
(available from Martin) should be looped around the hanging bracket.
The machine can operate in any orientation from 45 degrees upwards to 45
degrees downwards. Steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage.
If the machine is to be suspended, ensure the mounting surface can support the
weight of the machine. Do not suspend the machine over areas where people
will be underneath.
Ensure that there is at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance around the machine and at
least 600 mm (24 in.) in front of the fog output.
AC power
Before using the machine, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug
that fits the local power outlets is installed on the power cable.
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated:
• For EU models use a plug rated at 10 A minimum
• For US models use a plug rated at 20 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.
The table below shows some common pin identification schemes.

Before connecting the fog machine to power, verify that the AC supply is
adequately dimensioned for the current draw of the machine. The machine
requires:
EU Models - 1890 W, 220-240 V
US Models –1890 W, 100-130 V
