5. Operation

The TCFUNDY Low Lying Fog Machine offers multiple control methods:

Manual Control:

Once the machine has warmed up, use the control panel on the unit to activate fog output. Refer to the display for operational status.

Wireless Remote Control:

The included wireless remote allows for convenient operation from a distance. Press the designated button on the remote to emit fog. Release the button to pause fog production.

DMX 512 Control:

For professional applications, the machine can be controlled via a DMX 512 console. Connect a DMX cable from your console to the DMX input on the fog machine. Consult your DMX console's manual for specific programming instructions to control the fog output.

This image demonstrates the three control methods: manual control via the machine's panel, wireless remote control, and DMX console control.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fog machine.

Cleaning:

• After each use, ensure the fluid tank is not completely empty. If the fluid level is low, turn off the machine before it runs dry.
• Periodically clean the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• To prevent clogging, it is recommended to run a cleaning solution (distilled water or a specialized fog machine cleaner) through the system every few months, or after prolonged periods of inactivity.

Storage:

When storing the machine for extended periods, ensure the fluid tank is drained and the machine is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your fog machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Fog Output:
  • Check if the machine has completed its warm-up cycle (allow 3-5 minutes).
  • Ensure there is sufficient fog fluid in the tank and pure water in the water reservoir.
  • Verify that the tube sensing the fog juice is properly submerged and not obstructed.
  • Check power connection and ensure the power switch is ON.
• Weak Fog Output:
  • Ensure you are using high-quality water-based fog fluid and pure water.
  • The machine might not be fully warmed up. Allow more time.
  • Check for any blockages in the fog output nozzle or tube.
• Machine Not Heating:
  • Verify power connection and ensure the power switch is ON.
  • If the machine has an overheating protection system, it might have activated. Allow the unit to cool down before attempting to restart.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
