SUMMARY

1INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a UR Fog product. The great patented technological innovations make UR Fog devices the fog
generators with the best performance in the security market.
The fog generated by UR Fog does not create particular problems or injuries for a human being for a short stay in a fogged
room if the system is used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The fluid and the generated fog are certified as safe for people, animals and foods from an authorized international
certification company and is proved that it does not leave any residual.
UR Fog systems are certified respecting European laws and regulations. Any certifications required in specific countries are
a responsibility of the distributor of that specific country. The documents related to certifications can be requested by mail
to [email protected]
UR FOG BAT 300 Tempest Technology operates with very different principles compared to all existing product. It is a
battery operated device able to remain in working condition for many months without mains power while still being able to
shoot for the maximum settable time. With healthy and fully charged batteries it can remain operational without recharging
for more than 6 months. At 6 months it is able to perform a full shot of 60 seconds.
UR FOG BAT 300 Tempest Technology can shoot a maximum of 100 m3 of fog with zero visibility (UR FOG standard).

6POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION
Please observe the following instructions and read the entire manual carefully for installing BAT 300 Tempest Technology:
Request to UR Fog or its distributors to take part in courses for installers to ensure the optimal installation of the equipment.
▪The device must be installed avoiding to obstruct escape routes. (according to EN50131-8:2019)
▪Verify the fog does not limit the visibility near: stairs, landings, moving objects that may cause falls, injuries or any
damage to persons
▪When using the product in multi-storey buildings, if the escape route runs through an area which is protected by a
fogging system, it is recommended to install a vocal warning that provides instructions on the behavior to observe.
▪Never direct the fog jet towards an object or a wall less than 2 meters away
▪Avoid installing the UR Fog device in front of obstacles that could cause the deflection or blocking of the fog jet, thus
preventing its correct diffusion
▪Be careful to shoot directly against the windows and doors, as in the event of their breakthrough, the fog tends to
escape easily. If these remain open or are uprooted upon intrusion, there is a risk of directing the fog outside the
premises
▪The dead zone is the wall on which the fog generator is installed. This area will be the last to be saturated as the fog
must encounter obstacles to be able to go back. The ceiling dead zone is normally negligible
▪Remember that, depending on the models, the fog jet of the UR Fog devices after the first 3 seconds of delivery can
exceed 10 meters from the point where the device is installed
▪Setting the shooting time interval between the minimum and maximum shown in the shooting table, avoid
“overshooting” even if the produced fog is dry and generally doesn’t leave residue. A shot that goes far beyond the
recommended seconds can create a residue problems in the protected room
▪Install the device at the heights provided for each model by the manufacturer
▪Install the systems so that, when the alarm is not activated, they cannot be tampered, for example by occluding the fog
emission nozzle
▪Don’t activate the UR Fog device before the installation is completed. Insert the bag / cylinder as the last operation
following the procedure described in the manual. It is advisable to perform the first activation test keeping the bag /
cylinder disconnected
▪When the installation is finished, always test the system
▪When carrying out functional tests of the UR Fog device, remember to notify the local Fire Brigade in advance, in order
to prevent false alarms
▪Remember to put warning labels about the presence of UR Fog on the windows or to the access points to the protected
area
▪Report its installation to the firefighters in your area and eventually to other institutions if needed. Use the notification to
the authorities document included in the package

Choose the surface
For a correct installation, identify a surface (shelf, wall, ceiling or
other) that guarantees a safe seal. Use screws, anchors and
other restraint systems suitable for the purpose and for the
surface.
Use the installation template as help for a correct positioning the
last page of this manual.
For wall installation use the orientable VESA bracket to direct the
fog downwards (see chapter 20). The fixing holes of the wall
bracket are the same of the BAT 300 Tempest Technology.

9USAGE SCENARIOS FOR BAT 300 TEMPEST TECHNOLOGY
By properly setting some jumpers on the pcb, the TEMPEST BAT 300 device can be set to work in one of six possible modes
as described below.
ATTENTION: all jumpers must be inserted / removed ONLY with the device turned off for both low-power
and always-on modes.
9.1 Mode 1: Low power mode / No supply voltage applied
Configuration: W3 open, J11 pin 1-2 not connected
In this mode the device operates fully disconnected by the mains supply. With new and fully charged batteries TEMPEST is
able to work for at least 6 months while still being able to make a full time shot with the remaining charge.
The serial interface is disabled so no network connection is possible.
9.2 Mode 2: Low power mode / Supply voltage applied / Slow charging mode
Configuration: W3 open, W8 open, J11 pin 1-2 with supply voltage 10-16V, min 350 mA
In slow charging mode the internal battery charger is enabled and it takes roughly 20 h to completely recover the energy lost
in a full time shot (60 s).
The serial interface is disabled so no network connection is possible.
9.3 Mode 3: Low power mode / Supply voltage applied / Fast charging mode
Configuration: W3 open, W8 closed, J11 pin 1-2 with supply voltage 10-16V, min 1.0 A
In fast charging mode the internal battery charger is enabled and it takes roughly 6 h to completely recover the energy lost in
a full time shot (60 s).
The serial interface is disabled so no network connection is possible.
9.4 Mode 4: Always-on / No supply voltage applied
Configuration: W3 closed, J11 pin 1-2 not connected
In always-on mode the electronic board has all its subsystems always powered on. With new and fully charged batteries
TEMPEST is be able to work for at least 4-5 days, and around 2 days with an Active Cloud board.
The serial port is enabled and fully working so an Active Cloud board can be connected and the device can be accessed from
remote locations. A 24V12V DC/DC converter is necessary to supply the Active Cloud board (or any other piece of
equipment that requires +12 V DC, as is usual in the security field).
9.5 Mode 5: Always-on / Supply voltage applied / Slow charging mode
Configuration: W3 closed, W8 open, J11 pin 1-2 with supply voltage 10-16V, min. 350 mA
In always-on mode the electronic board has all of its subsystems always powered on. In Slow charging mode the internal
battery charger is enabled and it takes up to 3 days to completely recover the energy lost in a full time shot (60 s).
The serial port is enabled and fully working so an Active Cloud board can be connected and the device can be accessed from
remote locations but no current can be drawn from the device so any add-onboard must be powered from an external
source.
9.6 Mode 6: Always-on / Supply voltage applied / Fast charging mode
Configuration: W3 closed, W8 closed, J11 pin 1-2 with supply voltage 10-16V, min. 1.0 A
In always-on mode the electronic board has all of its subsystems always powered on. In Fast charging mode the internal
battery charger is enabled and it takes up to 8 hours to completely recover the energy lost in a full time shot (60 s).
With the Active Cloud board connected the time raises to around 10 hours.
The serial port is enabled and fully working so an Active Cloud board can be connected and the device can be accessed from
remote locations. A 24V->12V DC/DC converter is necessary to supply the cloud board (or any other piece of equipment that
requires +12 V DC, as is usual in the security field).

9.7 Summary tables
The following tables constitute a useful reference to correctly identify and choose the best connection method. The estimated
on-time is calculated taken into account a couple of brand new and fully charged original batteries. The impact of a low
