Notes:
1) Artificial fog is intended to be used as a short−term
effect to enhance the appearance of certain effects,
such as lasers or other lighting which produces a defined
beam of light. If an optical effect is required continuously
to make light beams visible, then a haze machine should
be used.
2) Excessive use of artificial fog may cause irritation to
the eyes and throat, especially in persons with
respiratory ailments. A risk assessment should be
carried out before use, taking into consideration the
amount of artificial fog to be used, the size of the room
and the degree of ventilation.
3) Artificial fog may trigger optical smoke alarms. Check
with the operator of the premises before use.
4) Fog fluid contains propylene glycol. A COSHH
datasheet is available from the Electrovision website.
GENERAL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS
Domestic wiring must be tested periodically by a qualified
electrician at least once every 10 years or at every
change of occupancy.
For office and retail premises, and buildings such as
village halls, the wiring must be inspected at least once
every 5 years.
Page 3
It is recommended that all building be fitted with smoke
alarms (it is mandatory for new buildings). Ionisation-type
smoke alarms are recommended for buildings where
theatrical fog effects are to be used.
OPERATION
To operate:
Place the NJ421 on a firm flat surface
.
Ensure that the
fog outlet (at the front) is not obstructed. Alternatively,
the appliance may be suspended using the attached
hanging bracket. If so, to conform with Health & Safety
legislation, a safety chain will also be required.
Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket.
If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the
lead is rated at 6 Amps or more, and that it is fully
unwound.
Allow the fog machine to warm up. This takes about 5
minutes. When warmed up, the "ready" indicator on the
rear panel will illuminate.
Press either pushbutton on the remote control handset
to operate the machine.
To fill the tank:
Disconnect from the mains supply.
Unscrew the lid, and fill with fog fluid. Replace the lid.
Suitable fog fluids are:
Venü Everyday fluid
for low density fog (catalogue
numbers:
FL101
for a 1 litre bottle or
FL105
for a 5
litre bottle)
Venü Benchmark fluid
for medium density fog
(catalogue numbers:
FL201
for a 1 litre bottle or
FL205
for a 5 litre bottle)
Venü Extreme fluid
for high density fog (catalogue
Page 4
numbers:
FL301
for a 1 litre bottle or
FL305
for a 5
litre bottle)
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning:
Clean the outside of the unit with a soft damp cloth, with
a drop of washing-up liquid.
To clean the appliance:
Remove the tank from the unit and empty out any water.
Rinse the tank with a 20% solution of white vinegar. This
will remove any lime deposits and kill bacteria. After forty
hours’ use, and before long-term storage, operate the
machine with the vinegar solution to clean fog-fluid
residues from the heating block.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre. If the
mains plug needs to be
replaced, proceed as
follows:
•
Connect the brown wire
to the terminal labelled "L".
•
Connect the blue wire to
the terminal labelled "N".
•
Connect the green-yellow
wire to the terminal
labelled with the earth symbol.
•
Make sure that the cord-grip is positioned correctly
(over the outer sheath of the cable) and it fully tightened.
Fuse

Yellow (Earth)
If the plug is fitted with a 13 A fuse, replace it by a 5 A
fuse.
