During heating up and operation, do not touch the housing.
Keep a minimum distance of 10 (3 m) from the machine to the nearest human or amma-
ble material. And make sure no falling residue y to ammable material.
The maximum height of indoor and outdoor granule is dierent. The maximum height of
indoor granule is 3.5 meters, while outdoor granule is 5 meters.
When using the Pyro Sim Controller controller,the screen will display the real-time temperature
of each machine. When the temperature value of the control board turns green, it means that
the heating is completed and the machine enters the status of sparking.
5.5.3 ADJUST SPARKING HEIGHT
Adjust sparking height through the rst channel, and the height adjustment values is DMX parameter
values 11-255.
Do Not touch the sparks or put nger in the output nozzle.
5.5.2 TURN ON HEATING FUNCTION
The heating function of the second channel DMX value is 240~255, and it takes about 5
minutes to preheat aer turning on.
When heating is turned on, the <HEAT> indicator light on the machine will turn to red, and the
<READY> indicator light ashes green to indicate that the machine is heating.
Heating will complete aer the <READY> indicator light turns green for a long time, and the

The third channel is density adjustment channel, and the density is 30-100%. The default
sparking density is 100%, and the density adjustment parameter values are 0-255. 0 means
100% density, and bigger DMX number means lower density.
If spark machines are aected by wind, sparking height will be reduced, sparking direction
will also be aected by the wind and inclined.
The proper reghting extinguishers are recommended as follows:Any type of sand or
substance that can suocate the active metals.Class “D" Fire Extinguishers for Metal
Substance Fires.
