If the unit is to be put out of operation defini-
tively, take it to a local recycling plant for a
disposal which is not harmful to the environ-
ment.

3 Applications

By vaporizing a fog fluid, this fog machine will create
artificial fog which can be used to enhance any light
effects (e. g. in discotheques, on stage, in party rooms).
The cable remote control provided allows to oper-
ate the fog machine in three modes (manual mode,
continuous mode and timer mode). As an alternative to
the remote control, the unit can also be operated via a
DMX controller with DMX512 protocol. Thus, it is eas-
ily integrated into a professional lighting system.

4 Filling Up Fog Fluid

WARNING 1. While filling up fog fluid, the unit must
not be connected to the mains.
Always disconnect the mains plug
from the socket before filling up!
2. Never add flammable fluids of any
kind to the fog fluid! Explosion hazard!
3 The unit is not splashproof. If fluid
gets inside the unit, it must be
cleaned and checked by skilled per-
sonnel before it is operated.
1) Unscrew the tank cap (2).
2) Fill up the tank with fog fluid (→ chapter 4.1). If any
fluid is spilt, wipe it off immediately with a cloth so
that it will not get inside the unit.
