Fog Burst Setup
The compressed gas does not have to be air, you can use nitrogen or CO2 gas. CO2
is liquid in the tank so you can get a large volume from a small tank and regulator. A
pressure regulator to drop the pressure is required. The number of cycles would
depend on the volume of your tank. We offer a regulator and hose accessory to
facilitate this. (see below).
CXP-1968 CO2 Regulator with 5 foot hose & High flow quick disconnect.
This unit is used to supply regulated CO2 gas to run devices that require a source of
compressed gas. Shown here on a 5 pound CO2 tank, (tank is not included.)
To connect the Fog Burst to the Power Fog Industrial.
1) Remove the 4" ducting adapter from the front/side of the Power Fog Industrial /9D (if
equipped)
2) Position the Fog Burst on front of the Power Fog Industrial with the valve assembly
facing upwards.
3) Line up the three holes on the mounting bracket with the three mounting holes around
output nozzle of the fog machine.
4)Install with the self tapping screws provided with the Fog Burst
5) Connect your compressed gas source to the valve (remember to use a gas pressure
regulator if your source gas pressure is greater than 100 PSI).
6) Connect the power cord from the Fog Burst to the Auxiliary port on the back of the
Power Fog Industrial/9D.

DMX Operation
1. Attach a DMX signal to the DMX IN 5 pin connector on the rear of the PFI9D.
A terminator may be required on the DMX OUT connector in some applications.
2. Select a valid DMX address on the numerical selectors for the base address of the fogger.
3. 2 consecutive address will be required. Base DMX= fog rate controlled 0-100%, DMX+1=Fog Burst
power on above 50%.
NOTE: A 3rd DMX Channel (DMX+2) = air on above 50%.(If PFI9D is equipped with optional air
option.).
4. The Valid DMX LED is on solid if good DMX signal is present. DMX control overrides hand remotes.
Slow or irregular flashing indicates poor DMX data.
Show control is achieved by connecting a “Dry” or zero voltage contact to the show control terminals. The
Power Fog Industrial 9D requires no power to signal the fog, only one set of contacts that close for the
entire fogging cue.
For Show Control Operation, the DMX Address must be set on 555. Closing the Show Control Remote
terminals with dry contacts, triggers the following machine functions:
C + 1 = Fog On/ Off w/ Variflow
C + 2 = Fog Burst On
C + 3 = Air Option

Maintenance Procedure
Troubleshooting
Check gas pressure: Is compressed gas getting to the solenoid valve?
Check that the air line is connected to a suitable air source at the required pressure.
Power to solenoid: Is power getting to the solenoid?
Check that Fog Burst is connected to the Power Fog Industrial/9D power source.
If using DMX: Check that the second DMX channel being used to control the auxiliary output is at a minimum of
50%.
Ensure that DMX address is set to 555.
If using hand held remote; ensure Duration dial is above the 50% mark.
If using show control remote; ensure a good connection between C + 2 on the terminal block.
Exterior
The casing of the Fog Burst is steel with a powder paint coating. To clean simply disconnect power source and
wash with a cloth and mild soap and warm water.
