11. TROUBLESHOOTING
12. MAINTENANCE
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve
simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the
steps below in sequence until a solution is found.
Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out
following steps. If the problem persists, refer servic-
ing to a qualied technician.
Power Connected but No Fog Is Emitted
1. Check the power supply. Plug the unit into
grounded electric power supply socket with
proper voltage.
2. Check your controller if in correct connection,
Before doing maintenance, please make sure that
the power is cut, the power cord is unplugged, and
the machine itself has cooled down. The mainte-
nance must be done by qualied person.
• The fog liquid is not allowed to get dirty. Be
sure to always clean or replace the caps on the
fog liquid vessel and tight the cover of the fog
machine liquid tank immediately aer lling.
• Periodically check the connections among
the oil tube, the pump and the heater to see
if there’s oil leaking. If positive, lock tight the
connections carefully with proper tool.
• PC board should be kept from being dirtied
with oil. In case this happened, dismantle care-
fully the PCB, and have it brushed clean both
sides with dilute alcohol. Leave it dry itself,
then install it back. Make sure all wires are well
connected.
• Clean the metal cover with dry cloth.
test the battery if power enough for wireless
controller.
3. Check your DMX address setting.
4. Disconnect fog machine from electric power
supply. Replace fuse with one of the same
type.
Other Abnormal Situations that Could Make
Heater & Pump Stop Working
• Flashing and showing ”Erro” means heater is
too hot or thermos sensor is cut.
