\Cover the output nozzle of SPARKULAR®Cyclone is forbidden, inspect the machine before
each show, making sure no objects or material will block the output nozzle.
\Never touch the nozzle of SPARKULAR®Cyclone, danger of getting burnt
\Never touch the sparks which shooting out from the nozzle
\Ensure that children, animals and unauthorized persons don’t have access to the
SPARKULAR®Cyclone.
Safety Distance
\Keep audience and flammable material at a minimum distance of 3m from SPARKULAR®
Cyclone.
\Make sure sparks shoot out from SPARKULAR® Cyclone can NOT touch any objects. And keep
a clearance with minimum 2m from the setting maximum effect height.
\In windy environment, increase the safety distance according to the wind direction and speed.
\The safety zone area changes accordingly when machine installed in tilt position. Please
increase the safety distance in the direction which machine tilt.
\Sparks and consumables from the machine can lead to serious eye injury. Always wear safety

b) Make sure the machine is securely installed to avoid tipping.
c) The safety zone area shifts accordingly when machine installed in tilt position. Please
increase the safety distance in the direction which machine tilt.
d) Check carefully the output nozzle of each machine, make sure the output nozzle is in good
shape and there is no powder aggregate.
2. Fill SPARKULAR®Cyclone
a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. Hopper capacity of SPARKULAR®Cyclone is
500g.
b) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario.
c) Please be noted that there may sparks or remains fall to the ground. Make sure no
flammable material on ground in the safety zone.
d) Maximum effect height: HC8200 LARGE is 10m, HC8200 LARGE is 9m, HC8200 LARGE
is 8m and HC8200 LARGE 7m.
e) Make sure the lid of hopper is locked tight after filling.
3. Connect Power / DMX cable
a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of SPARKULAR® Cyclone. Connect the other
end of power cable to the power source. Make sure power supply in consistent with the
rated voltage of the equipment, and the socket must well grounded.
b) If connect machine in sequence, please connect a power link cable to the POWER OUT of
previous machine, connect the other end of the power link cable to POWER IN of the next
machine.
c) The Maximum cascade of SPARKULAR®Cyclone is 2 units with one standard power cable.
For 110V version SPARKULAR®Cyclone, we suggest each machine connect to power supply
directly. Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit.
d) Power ON all SPARKULAR®Cyclone.

e) Assign DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR® Cyclone. If use SHOWVEN host controller
or FXcommander to control the machine please allocate a unique DMX address for each
unit of machine.
f) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX IN socket of first unit of SPARKULAR® Cyclone, connect
the male connector end of DMX cable to your DMX controller (FXcommander, HOST
CONTROLLER, light console etc).
g) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX OUT of previous machine, and the other end of to the
DMX IN of next machine. Connect all devices in series in this way.
h) Suggest to plug in a DMX terminator into the DMX OUT in last unit of machine to improve
signal reliability. Signal amplifier is required for long distance (>200m) DMX signal
transmission.
4. Activate SPARKULAR®Cyclone by swipe RFID card
a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR®Cyclone shows time remain
if read successfully.
b) SPARKULAR®Cyclone will report E4 when remaining time is less than 10 minutes.
c) Please note each RFID card come with 200g package HC8200 can increase single machine
10min working time, the maximum recharge time each time for SPARKULAR®Cyclone is
30min, when time remain reached 30min, it can’t recharge anymore RFID card.

5. Programming and Firing
a) Programming SPARKULAR®Cyclone, set the firing height, firing sequences etc.
b) Heating up machine, it takes around 5min. it various according to the voltage and
environment temperature.
c) Make sure the prescribed safety zone is clear.
d) Suggest to clear material before firing.
e) Firing. In order to prevent overheat in the heating chamber and protect machine, the
maximum continuous firing time for SPARKULAR®Cyclone is 30s.
f) The operator should always have a clear view of the device, so that he/she can stop the
show immediately when there is danger.
g) Clear material for SPARKULAR® Cyclone for 5s after show, clear material will remove the
remaining particles from heating chamber. For angled installation, please elongate clear
material time.
6. Turn off and Clean up
a) Power off SPARKULAR®II, allow SPARKULAR®Cyclone to cool down.

b) Disconnect all POWER and DMX cables.
c) Empty the remaining HC8200 in hopper, and store the remaining HC8200 in a dry sealed
bottle for next time use. Never touch the output nozzle of SPARKULAR® Cyclone when
empty the hopper. DANGER OF GET BURNT!
d) Operators can use handheld vacuum cleaner to empty the feeding hopper. Do make sure
the machine was cool down when clean it. Do NOT use high-power vacuum cleaners to
avoid hot consumables being sucked into the vacuum cleaner from the heating chamber
and cause fire.
e) Clean the surroundings to remove powder residues.
ΔMaintenance
1. Empty the feeding hopper before shipment of machine.
2. Empty the feeding hopper if long time not use, for high humidity environment we
suggest to empty feeding hopper after each show.
3. Clear material both before and after the show.
