Installation
Remove all packing materials from the Mistique. Check if all foam and plastic padding is removed,
especially in the haze output area.
Use the Mistique only with MHL-2 hazer fluid (60569). Any other types of liquid can damage the unit.
The unit can also be operated at floor level or sitting on any regular surface as well.
Do not point the output in a direction that will aim directly at a person.
Whatever installation method you choose, the unit must always be placed in horizontal position.
The maximum inclination angle of the device should not exceed 30º.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Always follow the instructions from this manual, from your CO₂supplier and from local authorities.
Precautions for operation
Using a damaged or an improperly installed machine can lead to death, serious injury or
property damage. Always inspect the machine thoroughly before operation.
Missing or obscured safety symbols on the machine can cause unawareness, which in turn can
lead to death, serious injury or property damage. Make sure all safety symbols are correctly in
place and visible. See front side of the device.

Note: Be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL!
Note: You can only fill 75 % of the tank, due to compression (that is, not more than 2 L in the tank).
Note: Running a haze machine with no hazer liquid can permanently damage the unit!
Note: Never shut down the Mistique while making haze.
Note: The Mistique needs a CO2connection with a gas tank to create haze.
Note: Installation and operation of the Mistique requires professional and trained personnel.

Control Modes
There are 2 modes:
●Stand-alone
●DMX512 (1CH, 3CH, 5CH)
One Mistique (Stand-alone)
01) Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
03) When the Mistique is not connected by a DMX cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.
04) Please see page 31 for more information about the stand alone mode.
Multiple Mistiques (DMX Control)
01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
03) Use a 3-pin/5-pin XLR cable to connect the Mistiques and other devices.
04) Link the units as shown in Fig. 04. Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to
the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.
05) Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's PowerCON socket, then plug
the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the
first unit. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @120 V: 3 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @230 V: 3 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Mistique will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has a maximum of 5channels.
When using multiple Mistiques, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Mistique should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Mistique
should be 1+5=6 (006); the DMX address of the third Mistique should be 6+5=11 (011), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Mistique
correctly.
If two or more Mistiques are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. For address settings, please refer to
the instructions under ”Addressing’.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Mistique fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Mistique will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX input, the a red dot will be shown on the control panel.
The problem may be:
●The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Mistique.
●The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
