shape and there is no powder aggregate.
2. Fill SPARKULAR®TRIPLE
a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. Hopper capacity of SPARKULAR®TRIPLE is
160g. There are three hoppers for each unit of SPARKULAR®TRIPLE.
b) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario. HC8200 LARGE will have
some sparks drop on ground, suggest HC8200 MEDIUM or SMALL for indoor use.
c) Maximum effect height for HC8200 LARGE is 5m, HC8200 MEDIUM is 4m.
d) Make sure the lid of hopper is locked tight after filling.
3. Connect Power / DMX cable

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 SPARKULAR® TRIPLE power supply cable maximum allowed cascade is 2pcs (BT51) / 1pcs
(BT52). Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit.
d) Power ON all SPARKULAR®TRIPLE.
e) Assign DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR® TRIPLE. 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® TRIPLE, 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®TRIPLE by swipe RFID card
a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR®TRIPLE shows time remain
if read successfully.
b) SPARKULAR®TRIPLE 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
20min working time, the maximum recharge time for SPARKULAR®TRIPLE is 60min, when
time remain reached 60min, it can’t recharge anymore RFID card.

5. Programming and Firing
a) Programming SPARKULAR®TRIPLE, set the firing height, firing sequences etc.
b) Heating up machine, it takes around 5min. it varies 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®TRIPLE 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® II for 5s after show, clear material will remove the
remaining particles from heating chamber.
6. Turn off and Clean up
a) Power off SPARKULAR®TRIPLE, allow SPARKULAR®TRIPLE to cool down.
b) Disconnect all POWER and DMX cables.
c) Empty the remaining HC8200 in hoppers, and store the remaining HC8200 in a dry sealed
bottle for next time use. Never touch the output nozzles of SPARKULAR® TRIPLE 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.
