• Always ground earth the fixture electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault earth fault protection.
• Before using the machine check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm 16 AWG minimum conductor size and an outer cable diameter of 5 – 15 mm.
• Cables must be hard usage type SJT or equivalent) and heat-resistant to 90° C minimum.
• Use only PowerCON cable connectors to connect to power input sockets.
• Use only PowerCO cable connectors to connect to power through put sockets.
• Isolate the machine from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or other component is damaged, defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating.
• Do not reapply power until repairs have been completed.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE TO RRIN OR MOISTURE

SAFETY INSTRUCTION

PROTECTION FROM BURNS RNO FIRE

• Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 45 ° C.
• The exterior of the machine becomes hot during use.
• Avoid contact by persons and materials.
• Allow the machine to cool for at least 1 0 minutes before handling.
• Keep all combustible materials e.g. fabric, wood, paper at least 100 mm away from the nozzle
• Keep flammable materials well away from the machine
• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the machine
• Do not place objects within 200 mm of the machine
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
• If you relay power from one machine to another using power throughput sockets, do not connect more than1 machines in total to each other in an interconnected chain.
• Connect only other machines to fixture power throughput sockets. Do not connect any other type of device
  to these sockets.
• Do not connect any other type of device to these sockets.
• Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any optical component.
• Do not modify the machine in any way not described in this manual
• Do not connect machine to a dimmer

PROTECTION FROM INJURY

• Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use.
• The fixture is not portable when installed.
• Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object or another fixture when it moves.
• 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, shields or any optical component.

RC POWER

POWER VOLTAGE

Check that the voltage range specified on the machine serial number label matches the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the fixture. The machine accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal. 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to the machine at any other voltage than specified.

POWER CABLES

Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm 2 (16 AWG) minimum conductor size and an outer cable diameter of 5 – 15 mm. Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and heat- resistant to so·c minimum. In the EU the cable must be HAR approved or equivalent. If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions  standard wire color coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts.

Wire color coding and power connections

DATA LINK

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a machine via DMX. The machine has 3 & 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold –  and pin 3 = hot + Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used.

TIPS FOR RELIABLE DATR TRANSMISSION

To connect the machine to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest machines male 3 & 5-pin XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the DMX output of the machine closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next machine and continue connecting machines output to input.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

Warning
The machine must be either fastened to a flat surface such as a stage or wall, or clamped to a truss or similar structure in any orientation using a rigging clamp. At all times machine can cause injury or damage it if falls, attach an approved safety cable to one of the safety cable attachment points on the base. Check that all surfaces more far aways then a minimum of 200 mm. from the machine, that combustible materials wood, fabric, paper, etc  are minimum 100 mm. from the nozzle, that there is free airflow around the machine and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

FRSTENING THE MRCHINE TO R FLRT SURFRCE

The machine can be fastened to a fixed flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Check that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all machines and equipment to be installed on it.

Warning
The supporting surface must be flat otherwise the air vents in the base may be blocked, which will cause overheating. Fasten the machine securely. Do not place it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or can fall over. Attach a securely anchored safety cable to the safety cable attachment point. If the machine is installed in any location where ii may fall and cause injury or damage if the primary attachment fails

• Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform.
• Secure the machine with a secondary attachment such as an approved safety cable that is rated for the weight of the machine using one of the attachment points at the edges of the base.
• Do not use any other part of the machine as a safety cable attachment point.

MAINTENANCE

Fluid injection trouble

Refers to the fog fluid atomizing in the heater pipe of the machine is not good, heater temperature cannot be timely and effective transmit to the fog fluid, fog fluid cannot all atomization and lead to fluid injection.

1. Using the low quality or counterfeit fog fluid, low quality fog fluid have more impurities, easy to adhere to the pipe wall and hindered temperature transmission result in incomplete atomization caused fluid injection.
2. Using an incorrect fog fluid. Different fog fluid have different required atomization If you use the wrong fog fluid result in oil cannot fully atomization caused fluid injection.

Heater blocking trouble

Poor atomization fluid injection is the early signs of heater block. Using no CLF quality fog fluid or not timely maintenance cleaning the fog machine for a long time. Inevitable will appear the terminal symptom of heater blocking.

1. heater blocked is because used inferior fog fluid or not maintenance for a long time.
2. Have nothing to do with the quality of machine. Like a car with poor quality gasoline produce poor fluid circuit failure or long-time no maintenance the car will inevitably appear bigger problems.

Solutions to these problems

Fog machine heating pipes used for a long time and then the pipe wall will easily produce sediments. The more inferior fog fluid the more impurities thus lead to fluid injection or blocked. All fog machines need regular maintenance (fog machine maintenance cycle for 1 to 2 months/time. Specific maintenance method: after heating the 35% white vinegar plus 65% distilled water and then spray 10 to 15 time

Conclusion

As long as the fog machine with fluid injection or heater blocking after using a period of lime. It was caused by fog fluid quality or lack of maintenance, has nothing to do with the quality of the machine. Please use the CLF original high quality fog fluid and timely maintain it, then it can be used for a long time.
