¾Warning! Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. There is a high danger of getting burnt . The smoke
machine must be placed at least 150 cm away from persons and heat-sensitive materials. Assure
yourself that the housing of the fog generator cannot be touched by accident.
¾The smoke machine must be placed at least 150 cm away from inflammable materials.
¾ Occasionally very hot droplets of fluid may escape when in operation. Always keep sufficient safety
distance to prevent damages of all kind.
¾Never open the machine and leave it unattended when connected to a power supply.
¾Don’t use the fog generator close to open fire, pyrotechnics or fireworks!
¾The visibility must not be reduced to fewer than 200 cm. You are responsible for accidents due to
missing visibility.
¾Do not open the smoke machine if it is connected to the power supply (230 V).
¾Do not swallow the fog fluid or avoid direct contact. Keep it away from children. In case of eye contact,
rinse with a lot of water. Consult a doctor should you have accidentally swallowed some fluid.
¾ Spilled fluid or splashed fluid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the fluid and dispose of it according
to regulations. S
MOKE F ACTORY -fluid is completely watersoluble and biodegradable.
¾ Artificially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method used here to produce fog, with
a device which works according to the vaporizer principle, is the most harmless one.
¾No case has so far been reported in which a sound human being has been harmed because of using our
device to produce artificial fog. However, this can only be guaranteed if the professional fog generators
are used accordingly, i.e. at the correct vaporization temperatures as well as with the correctly mixed fog
fluid.
2. Safety Instructions

4.1 Selecting the location
The location must be
¾free from vibrations and shocks,
¾free from dusty or polluted air,
¾a non-flammable place or surrounding,
¾well-ventilated with haze-free air,
¾have an ambient operating temperature between +5°C and +45°C and
¾a relative humidity below 80%.
4.2 Installing and Changing the Fluidbottle
¾Disconnect the fluid tube from the lid by retracting the collar and removing the
attachable coupling.
¾Unscrew the canister lid of the empty container and screw it onto the new
container.
¾Push the attachable coupling into the collar, until you hear a click. Insert the new
canister in a proper position.
4.3 Fogfluid
To guarantee trouble-free operation the special S MOKE F ACTORY fluid must be used.
Use of other liquids will lead to clogging an void the manufacturer‘s warranty.
Don’t use fluid older than five years.
Fog fluid cannot be stored for an indefinite period of time.
If you wish more information about fluids, don’t hesitate to contact us or your local
specialist dealer.
4.4 Power Connection of the Tour Hazer II
Connect the power plug to a safety contact electrical outlet ( DIN 49440/441).
Make sure the outlet has the correct voltage for your machine. (230V/50Hz).
A „P“ and two figures appear on the LED display (for instance P 15).
After approximately 60 sec. the Tour Hazer II is heated up and ready to
be used. Press the Enter-button once (14) to start hazing. The green
Active-LED (1) will light up. After a short interruption the hazing will

Instructions
The Tour Hazer II is a real Touring Hazer. With its
1500 W it is a truly powerful smoke machine. Due to the digital
technique it is possible,
to generate tiny clouds as well as roomfilling fog.
The performance of the fog generator can easily
be adjusted between 1 % and 99%.
.
The optimal equipment of your
SMOKE FACTORY fog generator
is based upon your specific application.

5.2 Turning the device off
Press the Mode-Button (15) until „OFF“ appears on the display. After
approximately 60 sec the device automatically changes into the Backlash-
mode, in order to cool down the evaporator and clean up the tubes and HE.
If the evaporator is sufficiently cooled off, a red dot appears on the display that
illustrates that there is power supply voltage.
Within 60 sec after turning off the DMX-Signal the device starts the Backlash mode.
Please ensure that the Tour Hazer II is not disconnected from the power supply too early. Otherwise the tubes and HE
cannot be cleaned properly.
5.3 Control System
5.3.1 External Control
5.3.2 Operating via DMX 512
You may control the Tour Hazer II
externally through the XLR sockets (4, 5, 8) , see fig. 10.
In General:
DMX has always priority, i.e., as soon as the device is controlled via
DMX 512, the values entered through DMX derogate the analog
input.
Connecting the T
OUR H AZER II to a DMX desk, use the 5pol XLR
socket beside the control panel. As soon as the machine receives
a correct DMX signal, the yellow DMX LED will be lit (12).
Plaese note:
The Tour Hazer II occupies two successive channels.
•1st channel = pump
•2nd channel = fan
Afterwards bars appear on the display moving top down. This is illustrating the
cooling off of the device.

5.3.4 „Timer“ Haze-Density Control System (HDCS)
With the HDCS it is possible to specify a certain user profile.
Two levels (A and B) can be regulated, the haze time and wait time can be adjusted in minutes the pump and the fan
output can be adjusted in percent.
Level A = Menu Item 2, 3, 4
Level B = Menu Item 5, 6, 7
Additionally you can adjust the hazing time (Menu Item 1).
Example: The device has to start hazing after 30 minutes (Menu Item 1). The stage has to be hazed for a period of
10 minutes. To fulfil these requirements a high pump and fan output is required as well as a hazing time of 10 minutes
(Menu Item 2, 3 and 4). After 10 minutes the pump and the fan have to be turned off and the stage must be hazed
another one hour (Menu Items 5, 6 and 7).
Following menu items can be adjusted
1. Pause (Pre-Runtime) 0 - 99 min
2. Pump (level A) 1 - 99 %
3. Fan (level A) 1 - 99 %
4. Run-Time (level A) 0 - 99 min
5. Pump (level B) 1 - 99 %
6. Fan (level B) 1 - 99 %
7. Run-Time (level B) 0 - 99 min
Press and hold the mode button until „run“ appears on the display (fig. 21).
Pressing and holding the Enter-buttons starts the specifically created user
profile.
Press and hold the menu button once to get to the HDCS-Menu Item. The
red Timer/Profile-LED is lit up.

11
The Timer/Profile-LED [10] blinks. The green Active-LED [11] lights up,
as soon as the adjusted pause (Pre-Runtime) has passed and Level A is
started. The user profile can be also started via the remotecontrol.
To return to the standard menu, press and hold the Mode- button
until you see „ESC“ on the display (Fig. 22) and press the Enter-button.
5.4 Autostart
If the Timer is activated but the device disconnected from the mains supply, Tour Hazer II will start automatically
in the Timer Mode with the pre-adjusted values as soon as it is reconnected
.

¾Avoid overheating of the smoke machine by high operating temperatures. Don’t let spotlights
directly shine on the device.
¾Do not let the smoke machine run without any fluid as the pump will run dry.
¾Some droplets of condensation will form at the nozzle. That is normal and not a malfunction.
Remove the fluid droplets as they can destroy the electronics.
¾Check the state of the sinter-filter from time to time and clean or replace it when necessary.
CAUTION: The evaporator of our devices must not be cleaned, as the cleaning substances can
fundamentally damage the evaporator. This leads to a loss of the warranty.
¾Clean the fluid bottle before refilling it to avoid dirt that can cause malfunctions.
¾If you install the device permanently you need to maintain a smoke- and fog-free air supply.
Cooling air with concentrated fog can condensate in the device and lead to humidity damages.
BEWARE: Remove the droplets only if the devices is cooled of! Don’t expose you to the Danger of
burning.
