DocumentDocumentUSER MANUAL SPARKULAR® WAVER V1.1 2023/05/20 Showven Technologies Co., Ltd. Thanks for choosing SPARKULAR® WAVER, we wish it will sparks up your show. Please read the following manual carefully before operating this product. Safety Instructions \ Unauthorized repair are prohibited, it may cause serious incident. \ Please keep the device dry. \ Make sure lid of feeding hopper are well covered when use SPARKULAR® WAVER. \ Accidentally burning of consumable can only use sands to extinguish. \ Consumable should keep away from moisture and stored in a dry sealed environment. \ Check whether there is consumable aggregate in the output nozzle both before and after each show, if any, please clean it up, or it will affect the firing effect, damage machine, even cause serious incident. \ There will be some sparks drop to ground, make sure there are no flammable objects such as carpet on the ground within the safety radius of the machine. \ Suggest to use HC8200 MEDIUM for indoor events. \ The SPARKULAR® WAVER power supply cable maximum allowed cascade of 6pcs (220V version) / 3pcs (110V version), exceed connecting may result in damage or even cause fire. \ Cover the output nozzle of SPARKULAR® WAVER is forbidden, inspect the machine before each show, making sure no objects or material will block the output nozzle. \ Never touch the nozzle of SPARKULAR® WAVER danger of getting burnt. \ Never touch the sparks which shooting out from the nozzle. Safety Distance \ Safety distance for SPARKULAR® WAVER divided into two parts safety radius around machine (a) and safety distance at firing direction (b). No person and flammable materials are allowed to stay inside the safety isolation zone when SPARKULAR® WAVER was armed. \ The safety radius around machine depends on effect height (consumable HC8200 type), with a radius of 1m or 1.5m. \ For safety distance at firing direction equals to maximum firing height + 1m. SPARKULAR® WAVER with maximum 90 waving firing angles, when firing wave sequence the safety isolation zone is a three-dimensional sector area. HC8200 Type Max. Effect Height Safety Radius around SPARKULAR (a) Medium 3.5m 1m LARGE 4.5m 1.5m Safety Distance at Firing Direction (b) 4.5m 5.5m \ The SPARKULAR® WAVER safety isolation zone is a three-dimensional space with a cross- section of 180° sector enclosed by a and b (check below diagram). We can understand it as a safety area formed by a safety column with diameter of a, height of b rotate of ±90 degrees. Unauthorized persons and objects are strictly prohibited from entering. Depending on the firing sequence / angles the sector area changes accordingly. \ For angled firing, the safety distance both around machine and firing direction should shift accordingly. \ In windy environment, increase the safety distance according to the wind direction and speed. \ Sparks and consumables from the machine can lead to serious eye injury. Always wear safety goggles when enter the safety zone. Description SPARKULAR® WAVER is 180 degree waving spark effect originally developed by SHOWVEN. It can firing in any single direction between -90 to 90 degree or in waving sequences etc. Various editable sparks effect brings infinite creativity to your stage.

Battery mode: 9V stacked battery. Remote controller for SPARKULAR WAVER is optional accessory. Operation Guide 1. Install SPARKULAR®WAVER a) SPARKULAR® WAVER can only be installed horizontally. b) Make sure the machine is securely installed to avoid tipping. c) Check carefully the output nozzle of each machine, make sure the output nozzle is in good shape and there is no powder aggregate. 2. Fill SPARKULAR® WAVER a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. b) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario. SPARKULAR® WAVER can only use HC8200 LARGE and MEDIUM. c) Please be noted that there may sparks or remains fall to the ground. Make sure no flammable material on ground in the safety zone. d) Maximum effect height: HC8200 LARGE is 4.5m, HC8200 MEDIUM is 3.5m. e) Make sure the lid of hopper is locked tight after filling. 3. Connect Power / DMX cable a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of SPARKULAR® WAVER. Connect the other end of power cable to the power source. Make sure power supply in consistent with the rated voltage of the equipment, and the socket must well grounded. b) If connect machine in sequence, please connect a power link cable to the POWER OUT of previous machine, connect the other end of the power link cable to POWER IN of the next machine. c) The SPARKULAR® WAVER power supply cable maximum allowed cascade is 6 units (220V version) / 3pcs (110V version). Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit. d) Power ON all SPARKULAR® WAVER. e) Assign DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR® WAVER. If use SHOWVEN host controller or FXcommander to control the machine please allocate a unique DMX address for each unit of machine. If use remote controller to control SPARKULAR® WAVER wirelessly, please set machine to wireless ON status and match machine with remote controller. For DMX cable control please execute below operations (f to h). f) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX IN socket of first unit of SPARKULAR® WAVER, connect the male connector end of DMX cable to your DMX controller (FXcommander, HOST CONTROLLER, light console etc). g) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX OUT of previous machine, and the other end of to the DMX IN of next machine. Connect all devices in series in this way. h) Suggest to plug in a DMX terminator into the DMX OUT in last unit of machine to improve signal reliability. Signal amplifier is required for long distance (>200m) DMX signal transmission (SHOWVEN DMX splitter 8 with bidirectional signal transmission, thus can get signal feedback from device). 4. Activate SPARKULAR® WAVER by swipe RFID card a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR® WAVER shows time remain if read successfully. SPARKULAR® WAVER report E4 when remaining time is less than 10 minutes. b) Please note each RFID card come with 200g package HC8200 can increase single machine 20min working time, the maximum recharge time for SPARKULAR® WAVER is 30min, when time remain reached 30min, it can't recharge anymore RFID card. C N .00000001 5. Programming and Firing a) Programming SPARKULAR® WAVER, set the firing sequences etc. b) Heating up, it takes around 5min, it varies according to the voltage and environment temperature. c) Make sure the prescribed safety zone of related firing sequences are clear. d) Suggest to clear material before firing. e) Firing. In order to prevent overheat in the heating chamber and protect machine, the maximum continuous firing time for SPARKULAR® WAVER is 60s. f) The operator should always have a clear view of the device, so that he/she can stop the show immediately when there is danger. g) Running preset sequence No.1 to clear material for SPARKULAR® WAVER after show, clear material will remove the remaining particles from heating chamber. NOTE: If use SHOWVEN HOST CONTROLLER ZK6200/6300 to control the firing, please press "F3" to choose "CIRCLE FLAMER-6CH", then set the firing sequence, as for preset sequence the firing duration is fixed, so please set firing duration 1s. Please do allocate different DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR WAVER (6 channels), otherwise it will cause signal interference. 6. Turn Off and clean up a) Power off SPARKULAR® WAVER, allow SPARKULAR® WAVER to cool down. b) Disconnect all POWER and DMX cables. c) Empty the remaining HC8200 in hopper, and store the remaining HC8200 in a dry sealed bottle for next time use. Never touch the output nozzle of SPARKULAR® WAVER when empty the hopper. DANGER OF GET BURNT! d) Operators can use handheld vacuum cleaner to empty the feeding hopper. Do make sure the machine was cool down when clean it. Do NOT use high-power vacuum cleaners to avoid hot consumables being sucked into the vacuum cleaner from the heating chamber and cause fire. e) Clean the surroundings to remove powder residues. Maintenance a) Empty the feeding hopper before shipment of machine. b) Empty the feeding hopper if long time not use, for high humidity environment we suggest to empty feeding hopper after each show. c) Clear material both before and after the show.
