ΔInterface
1. Main Interface:
DMX: 11 P: 0
T: 19 Delay: 1.0s
First Line: DMX: DMX address P: pressure value
Second Line: T: inner core temp. Delay: firing trigger delay
The working principle of the machine is when the firing is triggered, it takes some time (jet
delay) for the system to transfer and stimulate the consumables. When it reached the firing
trigger delay time, the valve will open automatically and firing.
2. Error information
Error information
Explanation
E0 System IC
1. Emergency stop was executed when firing was triggered, and firing
stops. E0 disappear automatically 1min later
2. Too frequent firing in a short period of time, E0 disappear 100s later
E1 Pump Protect
It happens when continuous pressurization fail, probably the pump
broken
E2 Temp. Sensor
Temperature sensor is not connected or damage
E3 P Temp. Over
Chassis over-temperature
E4 Time Remain
Activated time for machine is not enough, need to swiping RFID card
E5 K Temp. Over
Heating chamber over-temperature
E6 Heat Fail
Heating fail, if recover automatically, please pay attention to the power
supply

ΔOperation Guide
1. Check output nozzle and install the extension tube
a) Check carefully the output nozzle and extension tube of each machine, make sure the
output nozzle and extensive tube are in good shape and there is no powder aggregate.
b) Install the extension tube if use HC8200 MEDIUM and HC8200 LARGE. When use HC8200
SMALL there is no need to install extension tube.
2. Fill SPARKULAR®JET
a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. Hopper capacity of SPARKULAR®JET is
450g.
b) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario. SPARKULAR®JET can
only use HC8200 LARGE, MEDIUM and SMALL.
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 MEDIUM is 8m, HC8200 SMALL is
5m.
e) Make sure the lid of hopper is locked tight after filling.
3. Install SPARKULAR®JET
a) Horizontal installation is preferred for SPARKULAR®JET. If need to installed SPARKULAR®
JET in angles, maximum firing angle is 15° and can ONLY be angled to the left side as below
picture.

b) Make sure the machine is securely installed to avoid tipping.
4. Connect SPARKULAR®JET and Host Controller with power / DMX cable
a) Make sure power supply in consistent with the rated voltage of the equipment, and the
socket must well grounded.
b) Maximum cascade of SPARKULAR®JET is 6 units (BT91) / 3 units (BT92) with a standard
power cable. Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit.
c) If use together with HOST CONTROLLER ZK6200/6300, each unit of SPARKULAR®JET must
set unique DMX address, otherwise it may leads to signal interference.
d) Suggest to plug in a DMX terminator into the DMX out in last unit of machine.
e) Turn on host controller and SPARKULAR®JET.
5. Activate SPARKULAR®JET by swipe RFID card
a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR JET screen flash once if read
successfully.
b) SPARKULAR®JET will report E4 when remaining firing times is less than 10mines.
c) Please note each RFID card come with 200g package HC8200 can increase single machine 30
firing times, the maximum recharge times each time for SPARKULAR®JET is 120 times,
when remaining firing times reached 120, it can’t recharge anymore RFID card.
CN. 00000001
6. Clear material
Run clear material for all SPARKULAR®JET before firing by press “CLEAR” button on host
controller or turn DMX value to 60-80 on second channel.

7. Programming and Firing
a) Programming SPARKULAR®JET, set the “Material Select”in the menu according to the
consumable (HC8200 LARGE / MEDIUM / SMALL) you use.
b) Heating up and pressurize the machine, it takes around 8min.
c) Make sure the prescribed safety zone is clear.
d) Firing. Between each firing there is a firing interval which is for the pressure recovery of the
built in pressure tank.
e) The operator should always have a clear view of the device, so that he/she can stop the
show immediately when there is danger.
8. Clear material
a) Clear material for SPARKULAR®JET after show, clear material will remove the remaining
particles from heating chamber.
b) Running clear material once for SPARKULAR®JET. For angled installation, please try clear
material several times, until there are only few or no sparks spray out from output nozzle.
9. Turn off machine and empty the feeding hopper
a) Power off SPARKULAR®JET and host controller, allow SPARKULAR®JET to cool down.
Whenever deliver or not use machine for a long period of time, please empty the remaining
HC8200 in hopper, and store the remaining HC8200 in a dry sealed bottle for next time use.
b) 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.
c) Never touch the output nozzle of SPARKULAR®JET. DANGER OF GET BURNT!
ΔMaintenance
a) Empty the feeding hopper before shipment of machine.
b) Empty the feeding hopper if long time not use, for high humidity environment we suggest
to empty feeding hopper after each show.
c) Clear material both before and after the show.
