3. Connect the machine to suitable rated power supply, due to the work power is relatively high,
please ensure power supply meets the requirement.
4. Turn on the machine, it heat up automatically, and shows “warm up” on LCD screen.
5. Once the machine has reached operating temperature, “Warm up” disappear and temperature
reached at around 100%, pressure at around 100%. Now the machine is ready for operation.
6. After each firing, wait a few seconds to start the next firing, allow the pressure and temperature
are stable.
▲Button Function
“MENU": switch through setup menu
“+”: Parameter up; multiplex “TIMER” (smoke output time)
“-”: Parameters down; multiplex “VOLUME” (smoke output start)

Example of “TIMER” setting function in the menu:
①“set interval 10s”
②“set duration 2s”
SONICBOOM will repeat: firing 2s, interval of 10s, firing 2s, interval 10s…
Press “VOLUME” button under main interface, SONICBOOM activated and start to generate smoke,
and press “STOP” to stop the machine.

a long time. The pump will stop working, and report E1.
2. Way to clear E1 error
① Fill the fog fluid tank, then restart the machine.
② Press “VOLUME” to reset.
③ DMX Channel 1, start a firing.
▲Upside-down installation
For upside-down installation, please remove the bottom panel of fluid tank, and installed to the other

For healthy and best status of machine, please do use SHOWVEN original fog fluid.
▲Maintenance
1. Use SHOWVEN original fog fluid for the best effect of SONICBOOM. Warranty will be void if any
other type fluid is used.
2. Don’t disassemble the machine by unauthorized person, modifications to the machine are not
allowed.
3. Excessive dust, liquid or dirt etc on the equipment will affect performance of the machine and
cause poor heat dissipation. Remove dust with air compressor, vacuum or soft brush. Use a damp
cloth to clean the case.
4. Before storing the machine, run distilled water through the system to help avoid condensing the
pump or heater.
5. To keep the best status and performance of machine, it is recommended to running the machine
at least once per month.
6. After continuous use of 40h (or 1-2month), please use 35% vinegar with 65% distilled water to
wash the pump and pipe system by running the machine 10-15 times.
▲ Possible reason for the block of atomizer
A. Fluid spill: heat can’t effectively transmit to fog fluid, leads to insufficient atomization of the fog
fluid in the heating pipe.
Possible Reason 1: Use other type of low quality fog fluid instead of SHOWVEN original fog fluid.
Possible Reason 2: Use inappropriate fog fluid. For different types of fog fluid, the atomization tem-
perature is different.
B. Heating aluminum pipe clog: early symptom for heating aluminum pipe clog is fog fluid spill
caused by insufficient atomization. Use other brand fluid or not make regular maintenance for a
long time will definitely leads to pipe clog.
C. Solution for above problem: Use SHOWVEN original fog fluid. Make regular maintenance (every
1-2month). Use 35% vinegar with 65% distilled water to wash the pump and pipe system by
running the machine 10-15 times.
