4. DMX Connection (Optional)

For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the DMX IN port on the Z-390. If daisy-chaining multiple units, connect from the DMX OUT of the Z-390 to the DMX IN of the next unit.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On and Warm-up

Flip the power switch to the ON position. The unit will begin its warm-up cycle, which takes approximately 1.5 minutes. The display will indicate when the unit is ready to faze.

2. Manual Operation

Once warmed up, you can manually trigger haze output using the control panel on the unit or an optional wired remote control. Refer to the display for current status and settings.

3. DMX Operation

Set the DMX address on the Z-390 according to your DMX controller's configuration. The Z-390 typically uses a specific number of DMX channels for haze output, fan speed, and special functions. Consult your DMX controller's manual for programming instructions.
