3. Description of the POLAR CONTROLLER
TM
The POLAR CONTROLLER
TM
is CITC’s new low-ground fogging system. No CO
2
, no
dry ice, and no separate fog machine needed! In 10 minutes the Polar Controller
TM
can
create an incredible 7000 cubic feet of thick, white, dry, low-ground fog. The extra dry
fog leaves no mess, no residue and has DMX on board! The Polar Controller
TM
combines a fog generation machine with on-board refrigeration to chill the fog. The
chilled fog is heavier than air, causing it to stay close to the ground.
The following sequence produces fog:
o Preheating the fog generator for 7 – 8 minutes.
o Running the refrigeration unit and the fans to cool the two eight-foot tubes for about
three minutes
o Then run fluid pump to produce fog for a several minutes
o Set output to be at the 100% output for longest fog. Use blast or higher for temporary
shorter periods.
o Refrigerator can remain on if not in high humidity (might freeze). Note: Fogger is
always ready and output can be varied.
4. Safety instructions
WARNING: Read and understand all labels and operating instructions
before attempting installation.
o Never open the machine as this voids your warranty! Do not attempt to remove the
cover as several components are connected and this will damage the unit, voiding
your warranty.
o Risk of electrical shock- This device is supplied with a grounding conductor. To
reduce risk of electrical shock, connect only to properly grounded, grounding type
receptacles. Never remove the third prong from the plug. This machine requires TWO
separate 120V/20Amp circuits (or two separate 230V/13 amp circuits) for operation.
During Polar Controller
TM
operation these two circuits should be dedicated to the
Polar Controller
TM
. If you have any doubts about the capacity or grounding of your
existing circuits, consult a qualified electrician.
o Risk of slipping and falling- Take care to be sure drip pan is in place. Empty it
regularly and inspect it for cracks. Also, setting the volume knob above marked
100% on remote or 70% on DMX can result in slippery accumulations on the floor in
front of the tubes. Immediately clean up any drips or spills on the floor as fog fluid is
very slippery!
o Never operate the pump without fluid passing through the tube. This could cause the
pump to overheat and damage the piston. Operating the pump without fluid is not
covered under warranty.
o Do not expose to water or wet conditions. It is not recommended to use this unit in
high humidity areas or areas of high salt content or oxidation. Corrosive conditions
may cause circuits to short or not operate properly. Contact CITC with any questions
you have regarding this issue.
o Do not store Polar Controller
TM
in freezing conditions.
