3. SETUP AC Power This fixture runs on either 115 VAC, 60 Hz, or 230 VAC, 50 Hz. Before powering on the unit, make sure the line voltage to which you are connecting it is within the range of accepted voltages. Always connect the fixture to a switched circuit. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used only as a 0 to 100% switch.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Configuring the Starting Address Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap.
Control Panel Functions (cont.) DMX This operating mode will allow you to control the Arena Hazer™ 2 with an external DMX controller. You must set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this manual. 1. 2. 3. Press . Using + and - buttons, select the desired DMX address. Press .
LED Indicators When the fluid is low in the hazer, the low fluid indicator (shown as NO FLUID on the hazer) will light solid. When the hazer detects DMX signal, the DMX indicator (shown as DMX OK on the hazer) will light solid. Auto Cut-Off Feature This product has a safety feature to keep the machine from becoming damaged. This is referring to the operation of the pump. When the fluid tank is empty, the pump will still operate for a short time until all of the fluid has been removed from the system.
General Troubleshooting SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) Breaker/Fuse keeps blowing Device does not power up Fixture is not responding to DMX Loss of signal POSSIBLE ACTION(S) Excessive circuit load Check total load placed on the electrical circuit Short circuit along the power wires Check for a short in the electrical wiring (internal and/or external) No power Check for power at power outlet Loose power cord Check power cord Wrong DMX addressing Check Control Panel and unit addressing Damaged DMX
5. APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.
Warning! All haze machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of the fog liquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges. Maintenance Do not allow the haze machine to become contaminated.
Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. The chart below details a proper cable conversion: 3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input) Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1 Data ( - ) signal Pin 2 Pin 2 Data ( + ) signal Pin 3 Pin 3 Not used Pin 4 Not used Pin 5 Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link Universal DMX Controller 1.
