1. The first channel controls the firing angle. It defines to which angle the nozzle of CIRCLE FLAMER move
to. The angle can be chosen anywhere between -105° to +105° (DMX value 0 to 255)
2. The DMX value for angle of 0° is 127.5 (round up 128). Use this value, following formula can be used
to calculate all other angles ∠in degree. Please always note the prefix of the angle

DMX Value = 127.5 + (∠*1.2145)

ΔOperation
1. Safety Distance
Definition and Instructions
Safety distance for CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800 divided into two parts safety radius around machine (a) and
safety distance at firing direction (b). No person and flammable materials are allowed to stay inside the
safety isolation zone when flamer was armed.
The safety radius around machine depends on the firing height (nozzle size), with a radius from 2.5m to
3m.
For safety distance at firing direction equals to maximum firing height * 1.5. CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800
with maximum 105 waving firing angles, when firing step sequence, wave sequence or additional
sequences the safety isolation zone is a three-dimensional sector area.

The CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800 safety isolation zone is a three-dimensional space with a cross-section of
210° sector enclosed by a and b (check below diagram). We can understand it as a safety area formed by
a safety column with diameter of a, height of b rotate of ± 105 degrees. Unauthorized persons and
objects are strictly prohibited from entering. Depending on the firing sequence / angles the sector area
changes accordingly.
For angled installation, the safety distance both around machine and firing direction should shift
accordingly.

Safety distance in windy environment
The safety isolation zone radius (a) and safety distance of firing direction (b) increase with wind direction
and wind speed (v, m/s). The safety distance in windy conditions can be calculated as below:
For Nozzle M: a = 3 + v; b = 15 + v
For Nozzle L: a = 2.5 + v; b = 12 + v
For example when the wind speed is 3m/s, we use the Nozzle M on CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800, then the
safety isolation zone radius should be 6m, safety distance of firing direction is 18m.
When the wind speed ≥8m/s (wind force ≥ 5), please use it with caution. When wind speed ≥17m/s
wind force ≥ 8 , please stop use CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800.
Direction Explanation
There is direction explanation on top panel of CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800 as show above picture.
1. 1 to 15 is the firing angle of CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800, Far Right is position 15, Middle is position 8,
Far Left is position 1.
2. Audience side and control side are indicated in above picture.
Note: in order to indicate correct direction, please place the top panel correctly.
Label of CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800
The label is at rear panel of machine and information is show as below.
Fuels for CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800
1. Water content in fuel should less than 0.5%
2. For maximum safety, please use fuel with flash point between 60-80℃, ISOPAR L is highly
recommended.
3. Ethanol is not suggested due to three reasons, first ethanol is highly flammable makes it not as safe as
ISOPAR; secondly the color of flame is very weak; thirdly there are always high water content (> 0.5%)
in ethanol.
4. Colored fuels are forbidden to use on CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800 it may damage the machine.

SHOWVEN excludes liability for the losses, damages and accidents caused by not using qualified fuels in
accordance with this requirement.
Always have a dry powder fire extinguisher, a CO2fire extinguisher and an extinguishing blanket next to
the equipment in case of needed. And someone must be on duty during operation. In case accident
occurs, a dry powder fire extinguisher can be used when the fire is large, and a carbon dioxide fire
extinguisher can be used when the fire is small.
2. Install CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800
a) Choose the correct nozzle, ensure the installation position of CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800 meet above
safe distance requirements. New CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800 supplied with a nozzle M which generate
up to 10m flame.
b) Horizontal installation is preferred for CIRCLE FLAMER X-F1800. If need to install CIRCLE FLAMER X-
F1800 in angles, please turn the TIP Setting to OFF status first. X-F1800 with maximum tilt angle of
45° or -45° , and it can be angled to the direction as show in below picture. Besides please be aware
the fuel level in fuel tank to avoid fuel leakage when tilt installation.

14AWG.
ΔMaintenance
1. To maintain the system in good performance and running status, it is recommended to running the
device at least once per month.
2. Check the ignition probes both before and after each show, if there is any foreign objects on it please
clean it up.
3. Maintenance of the nozzle: Nozzle needs to be cleaned from time to time, and it is recommended that
once every six months (depending on the environment and frequency of use). In the process of using
the equipment, if the flame shape is seriously deformed or the fuel injection line is significantly
deformed or coarsened, the nozzle should be removed immediately for cleaning. If after clean, there
are still problems please replace new nozzle.
4. Maintenance of the O-ring: If it is found that the O-ring of the nozzle is damaged or ageing when
cleaning the nozzle, the O-ring should be replaced in time (material and size of O-ring: fluororubber O-
ring, the outermost diameter is 14 mm, and the line diameter is 2 mm).
