INTRODUCTION
This manual offers a detailed explanation of the operation of the ROSCO DELTA 6000™ fog
machine. To assure efficient and safe operation, please take a few minutes to read this
material.
The ROSCO DELTA 6000™ fog machine is a thermal aerosol generator designed for very
high variable fog output. It features the DELTA TECHNOLOGY™ which is a revolutionary
electronics design unmatched by any other fog machine. DELTA TECHNOLOGY™ offers
accurate thermal control, precise pump speed as well as allowing the Delta 6000 to be
operated: manually; by timers; from a DMX lighting console; or a 0-10 volt signal.
The Delta 6000 is part of a system, the other basic component being the full line of Rosco fog
fluids. They should always be used together. These unique fluid formulations are safe when
used according to instructions. They are water-based and contain no petroleum distillate. The
operating temperature, pump pressure, and output nozzle orifice of the machine have beeen
specifically set to maximize aerosolization of the Rosco fog fluids. When used properly, the
system should operate for many years.
HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
When the heat exchanger has reached proper operating temperature, the operator switches
power to the siphoning pump, which draws the fog fluid from an external reservoir into the
heat exchanger. The fluid is rapidly heated and vaporized. The vaporized fluid is then
discharged through the nozzle into the atmosphere where, upon mixing with the cooler air, it
turns into an aerosol consisting of millions of fine particles.
NOTE: The terms “fog” and “smoke” are used interchangeably. However the ROSCO
DELTA 6000™ does not produce smoke, but a mist or aerosol.
