Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions Intended use This device is intended for generating artificial fog by evaporating the fog fluid with which it is filled, with an additional electronic lighting effect by means of LED technology. The device is designed for professional use and is not suitable for use in households. Use the device only as described in this user manual.
Safety instructions Safety DANGER! Danger for children Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices. DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present.
Safety instructions DANGER! Electric shock caused by short-circuit Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐ tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐ tered electrician. WARNING! Risk of burns from flammable liquids The use of flammable liquids in this device may cause severe burns and damage to property. Always use approved fog fluids.
Safety instructions WARNING! Risk of burns The generated fog at the fog nozzle is hot and can cause burns. Occasionally hot fluid drops may escape from the nozzle. The distance of persons and objects to the fog nozzle must be at least fifty centi‐ metre (1.6 feet). Do not touch the fog nozzle during and shortly after operation. It becomes very hot and may cause burns even several hours after switching off the device. WARNING! Risk of slipping caused by condensate Fog machines can produce condensate.
Safety instructions WARNING! Health hazard caused by fog fluid handling Fog fluid does contain glycols complying with the regulations for foodstuffs. However, it may be harmful if swallowed. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately. Keep fog fluid in a safe place. If the fog fluid comes into contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with water. WARNING! Eye damage caused by high light intensity Never look directly into the light source.
Safety instructions CAUTION! Possible respiratory problems The device can be operated safely only with the approved fog fluid. The use of other fluids can release toxic gases. Claims for damages caused by the use of nonapproved fluids shall be excluded. Do not create fog in closed or poorly ventilated areas. Do not expose persons with health problems (such as allergic respiratory condi‐ tions, asthma) to artificial fog. NOTICE! Risk of fire Do not block areas of ventilation.
Safety instructions NOTICE! Risk of fire due to incorrect polarity Incorrectly inserted batteries may destroy the device or the batteries. Ensure that proper polarity is observed when inserting batteries. NOTICE! Possible damage by leaking batteries Leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the device. Take batteries out of the device if it is not going to be used for a longer period.
Safety instructions NOTICE! Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specified in the chapter ‘Technical specifications’ of this user manual.
Safety instructions NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Safety instructions n During operation, ensure that the visibility in the room does not fall below 2 m so that everyone in the room can still orient themselves safely. n The haze or mist generated by the device may trigger smoke alarms. NOTICE! Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse The use of different types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire hazard! Only fuses of the same type may be used.
Features 3 Features This vertical fog machine with LED effect ring is suitable for use in clubs, bars, night clubs and on stages. The built-in LEDs are mounted around the fog outlet and enlighten the fog column in bold colours. Special features of the device: n n n n n Vertical fog column of approx.
Features For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This effect increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
Installation 4 Installation Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
