Operation 
♦  Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. If necessary, turn power switch on rear 
of unit to “ON” position. Warm-up is complete when green lamp lights up on remote unit. 
♦  To emit fog, press the appropriate button on the remote for the desired length of time. 
♦  The remote unit’s lamp will cycle on and off as the machine re-heats to the proper 
operating temperature. 
♦  For further information on operating your ANTARI Fog Machine, see the section titled, 
“Remote Control Operation”. 
If your model includes a mounting bracket designed for overhead installation, it may be 
installed at floor level or suspended overhead. If the unit is to be mounted using the bracket, 
it is important that the fog does not shoot directly at any one’s face. Whatever installation 
method you choose, do not allow the unit to have more than a 15 degree angle of inclination. 
Important: Always monitor tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running a fog machine with 
no fluid can permanently damage the unit. 
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check fluid 
level, the external fuse, remote connection, and power from the wall. If all of the above 
appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If fog does not come out after holding the remote 
button down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid 
going through the hose. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not 
simply continue pushing the remote button, as this may damage the unit. Return the 
machine to your ANTARI dealer. 
Remote Control Operation 
♦  Z-1: 10 meter wired remote controller with five-prong plug for ANTARI Fog Machine 
models Z-800 and Z-1000. The red lamp indicates that the unit is receiving power. When 
the fog machine has reached operating temperature the green lamp on this remote control 
will light up, indicating that the operator may begin fog emission by pressing the red 
button. The green lamp turns off during fog machine warm-up (approx. 4 minutes) and 
re-heating cycles (approx. 1-2 minutes), and turns on when the machine becomes 
operational. 
♦  Z-2:  10 meter wired multi-function remote controller with 5-pin XLR connector for ANTARI 
Fog Machine models Z-1500 and Z-3000. Its 
interface allows the operator to customize fog 
machine functions by adjusting fogging duration, 
interval and volume. Its LCD displays current 
operating parameters, which are automatically stored 
in non-volatile memory, allowing the machine to be 
powered down without losing function settings.
