It is HIGHLY recommended that this smoke machine is not hung above or near areas
that may have people below it. There is a significant risk of hot liquid or vapor falling
and potentially harming any individuals below. We understand the need for a hanging
bracket and the applications and should only be hung by experienced personal to
ensure that risk is well managed. Please adhere to your local safety guidelines when
hanging this unit.
NOTES BEFORE USE:
1 Place the smoke machine horizontally and check for any damage or leaks. If damaged, please contact your
supplier at once. Loosen the lid of the fluid tank to pour in the high-quality smoke fluid, and then fasten the lid.
2 Before power on, please verify that the supply voltage is in conformity with the rated voltage of the smoke
machine. When the power is on, the indicator light will turn on, and the smoke machine will begin to operate
once heat up procedure is complete.
3 At first, it is normal if the smoke machine creates just a little smoke please be patient the machine will need to be
fully primed to output to its full capacity.
4 Please ensure the smoke machine is in a well-ventilated area. Don’t place the machine in a small non-vented
location as the over temperature protection will disable the machine from heating.
5 Never hang the smoke machine in areas where people could be under the machine this will avoid any risk
of injury.
6 Please ensure the fluid bottle is always to capacity this will avoid the pump failure due to low fluid.
7 Never operate the smoke machine on low fluid. If you need to prime the machine, please only use short burst until machine is
fully primed holding the machine at full with no fluid will cause pump failure
8 Never leave the smoke machine powered and unattended always keep clear of children as the output nozzle is of high temp.
9 Due to condensation, vapor or moisture might gather around the nozzleof machine. There might be some
surplus smoke ejected from any smoke machine during operation or after shutdown.

7. CAUTION:
"Visibility during operation is reduced".
- Important: Always monitor tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running any smoke
machine with no fluid can permanently damage the unit.
8.
Remote Control Operation
- D-2: 25 feet wired multi-function remote control with 5-PIN plug for Fog the UniFog DMX.
- The Interval knob adjusts the time between discharges when the timer function is
engaged. The range is from 1min to 30min.
- The Volume knob controls the volume of the fog produced. The range is from 0 %- 100 % of
maximum output.
- Adjust the Duration control knob of each fog emission (within the range of 1 to 20 seconds).
- The yellow TIMER button controls the timer function. Depress the button to activate.
When activated, the yellow light will turn ON. Adjusting the interval
knob will determine
the time between fog output (1 - 30 min). The duration of
output is set at 20 seconds. The
volume can be adjusted using the volume knob tocontrol the amount of fog produced.
- The red CONTINUOUS button sets the machine to constant fog production. To activate
this function, depress the red button. The volume knob can be used toregulate the volume
of the steady stream of fog produced.
- The green MANUAL button will produce a continuous blast at maximum volume whilethe
button is held down. When released, the manual function stops and the machinewill
return to the previous setting, timer, continuous, or stationary.
- Note: The continuous function will override the timer function. Therefore, if both buttons
have been depressed the UniFog will output continuously. The manual function overrides
all functions. When depressed and held down the UniFog will output
g at maximum volume
for as long as the button is held down, regardless of the machine's setting at the time.

VOLUME
6-249
VOLUME
CONTROL
0-5
OFF
These models use 1 channel to control volume output operation. Each channel has a value range of 0 to
255.
Timer functions such as duration and interval can be programmed usingthe DMX controller or the DMX
control software being used by lightingand effects operator.
If Channel A has a value between 0 and 5, the unit is OFF.
Between the values 6 and 249 the volume of fog output is regulated.
With 6 being the minimum volume of fog produced and 249 approaching themaximum. The volume
output rises as the DMX value is increased.
If Channel A has a value between 250 and 255, the machine will operate at maximum output.
Note: in the example above, if the machine were assigned the DMX address of 124, Channel A would
correspond to DMX address 124.
In general, Our smoke machines with onboard DMX conform to the following performance
specifications;
•Each device occupies 1 channel. To ensure that the control signals areproperly directed to
each device, they require addressing. This is to be adjusted for every single device by
changing the DIP-switches.
•The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the device will respond to the
controller.
•Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in orderto control each device
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more
devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
