Setup

3. Setup
AC Power
The Geyser Move has a fixed voltage power supply, and it can work with an input voltage range of either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz, depending on the specific model. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
· Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
· To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement
1. Disconnect the product from power. 2. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder. 3. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing. 4. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating. 5. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same type and rating.
While operating the Geyser Move, make sure there is adequate fog fluid in the machine to prevent pump and heater damage. When the fog fluid level becomes low, simply add more fog fluid to continue using the Geyser Move.
Ensure the fluid tank is upright, regardless of the mounting orientation.

Setup
Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.
Orientation
The Geyser Move may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product. In addition, make sure the fluid tank is in an upright position. See Inverting the Tank for information on mounting in other positions.
Rigging
· Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access to the product for maintenance and programming.
· Make sure that the structure and attachment points can support the weight before hanging the product (see the Technical Specifications)
· When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.
· When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity. The brackets have 13-mm holes, which are appropriate for this purpose.
· When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the DMX mode uses. If the starting address is set too high, access to some channels could be restricted. For information about the DMX protocol, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetdj.com. To select the personality and starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Addr shows on the display. 2. Press <ENTER>. 3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address, from 1512. 4. Press <ENTER>.

Geyser Move User Manual Rev. 1

Maintenance
5. Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean all lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency. To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power. 2. Wait until the product is at room temperature. 3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents. 4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol. 5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue. 6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface. 7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because they could be damaged.
Fog Machine Maintenance
Do not allow the fog machine to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use Chauvet Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element. The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.
1. Unplug the product from power. 2. Empty all fog fluid from the machine. 3. Add cleaning solution to the tank. 4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up. 5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run
dry. 6. Refill with fog fluid to continue using the fog machine. Run the machine briefly to clear any
remaining cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
Do not operate the machine without fluid at any time.
Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean the Geyser Move. Use FCQ regularly, no longer than 90 days between cleanings, to increase the life of the product.
Storage
Before storing the fog machine, run FCQ through the system as described in the cleaning procedure above; however, only follow steps 1 through 5. Do not refill the tank with fog fluid if storing the Geyser Move. Cleaning the system prior to storage will help prevent any particles from condensing inside the pump or heater while not in use.
Test-run the Geyser Move on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
