• Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic parts, take the machine out of service and contact Martin Service and Support for advice. • Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer any service not described in this manual to Martin Service and Support. • Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or missing. • Moisture and electricity do not mix.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened. • Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or moving the machine. • Do not operate the machine with missing or damaged covers or shields. • In the event of an operating problem, stop using the machine immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a machine that is obviously damaged.
Product overview Product description The JEM ZR25, ZR35 and ZR45 provide a uniquely flexible and convenient solution to a wide range of fog requirements whether permanently installed or taken on the road. Featuring a high efficiency heating block and accepting multiple weights of fluid, the JEM ZR series products can create anything from an ephemeral steam chase to a dense, long-lasting “whiteout”.

Quick Start You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot of fog. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual. Setting up Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the fog output. Fill the fluid reservoir with an approved Martin fog fluid as shown on page 20. Connect a suitably rated power supply to the machine.
Installation and setting up DANGER! DO NOT operate the machine until you have read and observed all the precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 5. Location The JEM ZR series machines are designed to be located on the floor or may be suspended using the hanging bracket. The machine can operate in any orientation from 45° upwards to 45° downwards. Steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage. If the machine is to be suspended, ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the machine.
Before connecting the machine to power, verify that the AC supply is adequately dimensioned for the current draw of the machine. 1200W 240V EU / 1000W 120V US 1550W 240V EU / 1450W 120V US 2100W 240V EU / 1800W 120V US Check that the local AC voltage is appropriate, as indicated on the machine’s serial number label. If your AC voltage is outside the appropriate range, do not use the machine. Contact Martin Service and Support for assistance.
Control settings Overview The Integrated Digital Remote Control on the rear of the machine allows you to configure it using option menus. The Integrated Digital Remote Control may be removed from the machine and used at a distance by removing the two hand-wheel bolts either side of the display. The display cable may be extended up to 25 m (82 ft.) using standard 3-pin XLR cable.
If you want to temporarily change the fog density, do not press ENTER. The fog setting will go back to its stored value next time the machine is powered up. This applies to all options. Setting the Timer The timer function can be utilized to set the machine’s output to automatically cycle between an 'On' time interval and an 'Off' time interval. This mode is useful for maintaining a low level of fog in smaller spaces.
Setting the master-client link mode It is possible to control several machines from one digital remote control. The machine with the remote plugged into it is set as the Master. The other machines are set as Clients. The machines are interconnected with DMX cabling. Use the Previous / Next buttons to select the LINK MODE option from the SETTINGS menu. Use the Up/Down buttons to select RECEIVE (client unit) or SEND (master unit). Press the ENTER button to store the link setting.
The factory settings are: option setting FOG LEVEL 50% TIMER ON 10 seconds TIMER OFF 20 seconds RUN MODE STANDBY DMX 001 BACK LIGHT NORM LINK MODE RECEIVE PRIME NO TEMPERATURE* NORM *ZR45 Only 18 Control settings
DMX control Overview DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512A standard may be used to control and program the fog output of the JEM ZR series machines. When a DMX signal is present, the JEM ZR series machine’s standalone functions do not work. To fire the unit from the Integrated Digital Remote Control, the DMX controller must be powered off or disconnected.
Approved Fog Fluid types The JEM ZR series machines must only be used with the Martin fog fluids listed below. Martin supplies high quality fog fluids that are based on ultra-pure deionized water. No other fluid is suitable for use. RUSH & THRILL Fog Fluid RUSH & THRILL Fog Fluid is a specially formulated water-based fog formula and is recommended for use with applicable Martin fog effect generators.
DANGER! The JEM ZR series machines can run safely only on the specific fog fluids they are designed for. Use ONLY the Martin fog fluids designated in this manual. NEVER use any other type of fluid, or toxic gas may be produced. You will probably also cause damage to the machine that will invalidate the product warranty. Do not dilute fog fluid with water or any other liquid. Discard fog fluid if it becomes contaminated.
Basic service Before servicing the JEM ZR series machines, read and observe all the precautions listed in “Safety information” on page 5. Any service not described in this section must be carried out by a Martin authorized service technician. To find your local Martin service center visit www.martin.com/Where-to-buy Cleaning Excessive dust, fog fluid, and dirt build-up will degrade performance and cause overheating and damage to the machine that is not covered by the product warranty.
Storage Procedure: Perform the above cleaning and preventative maintenance procedure. After procedure is completed simply run the machine until all fluid has been visibly purged from the fluid inlet tubing to prevent leaks and seepage. Fuse replacement The main fuse for the machine is located adjacent to the power inlet on the rear panel. There is also a T3.15 A fuse located on the electronics board inside the unit which protects the supply to the pump.
Troubleshooting Problem Probable cause(s) Suggested remedy Machine not at operating temperature Wait until HEAT message no longer shown FOG option set to 0 Increase setting Machine in timer mode and TIMER ON set to 0 Increase setting DMX signal present Disconnect or turn off DMX controller DMX address setting incorrect Change DMX address (page 16) Poor connection in DMX line Check DMX cables and connections LINK menu is set to SEND Set LINK menu to RECEIVE Fog output is weak Machine req
Status messages message OFF HEAT READY DMX FLUID OUT CALIBRATION ERROR SYSTEM ERROR reason The heaters are Off, the unit is shut down. The unit is heating up to operating temperature. The heater is at operating temperature, but Fog is not turned on (RUN set to STANDBY). The heater is at operating temperature and the unit is under DMX control. Run out of fluid.
