b) Test the SEQUENCE 31 or push the CH1 DMX value from 0 to 255 on DMX console to drive flame
nozzle movement manually, confirm the nozzle is waving only in the preset limited angles instead of
from -105° to +105°. If not, please reset the ANGLE LIMIT and check. (SEQUENCE 31 of X-F3600 is
short flame step sequence from -105° to +105° , after set the angle limit, it can only waving between
the Mini. Angle and Maxi. Angle).
c) After confirm the software angle limit control works well, then install the angle block plate and put
angle limit rod at corresponding Mini. Angle and Maxi. Angle. Test sequence 31 again to reconfirm
the angle limit rod was correctly installed.

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

The uFlamer X1800 safety 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 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 uFlamer X1800, then the safety 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 uFlamer X1800.
