position. Lay the tube along the floor keeping it on the floor away from any hot lights. Do
not bend the tubes into sharp 90
o
angles. The straighter the hose the better the flow.
4. The cooler the tube, the longer the low ground fog fluid will stay low to the ground. Once
you have established where the tubing is going to go, you may want to screw it down to
the floor or anchor it someway to keep it from moving so that it stays in the same general
area and is stretched out completely.
5.5 Operating the machine
1. Plug in the fogger remote to the input XLR inlet on the side of the fogger unit. Set the
volume output dial on the remote to OFF (counter clockwise).
2. Turn on the fogger power switch on the side next to this connection near the back,
checking to see the switch illuminates, indicating your power is on. Wait approximately 7-
8 minutes for the unit to be ready to produce fog. The green ready LED will illuminate on
the remote when ready.
3. While waiting for warm up, plug in the remote for the compressor cooler unit in the back.
Then, turn on the main compressor unit power switch located at the rear on the other
side. It should also illuminate. Press the red button on the remote to turn on the remote.
Now press the green button to start the cooler and fans. Wait three minutes for the
cooler to cool down before fogging. Once you turn the compressor on, it is best to leave it
on. Short operation of the refrigeration unit is bad for the compressor. When you turn off
the cooling unit, wait ten minutes before restarting (compressor needs to neutralize.
4. Now you are finally ready to generate fog. Fog volume can be controlled with the Fogger
Remote Control or at the DMX control board. Small amounts of fog may be produced up
to large amounts. The majority of the adjustment range available is from about 50% to
70% setting on the remote or DMX control.
5. Note: turning the pump output higher than about 100% (above blast) may overwhelm the
cooling and release the fog too quickly. The fog will not stay on the ground. If at first the
pump makes a loud noise, watch to see if the fluid is being drawn through the tube. If is
not, check the tubing connection to be sure it is tight. Push it all the way in, look for
bubbles or an air leak. Try again. Do not let the pump run dry as this would cause it to
burn up.
6. As the unit is producing fog, you will note the dryness of the fog coming from the unit. If
you were to put your hand 18" to 24" away from the unit, it would be completely dry. This
is very important aspect of the type of fog that is needed in order to keep a dry floor.
7. Underneath the fog machine is a pullout tray, which captures any runoff fog fluids that
accumulate inside the chamber. Be sure this tray is checked periodically and it is not too
full. After 4-8 hours of operation, there should be 1/8" fluid level in the bottom of the unit
that has accumulated. This is to keep the fog dry. After use, be sure to remove and
empty the tray. If more, you may have to pull out and empty.
8. The fan expands the fog to two 5" adapter openings, not just one. Do not plug up one of
the adapters trying to increase pressure because this will cause an increase in the
