DocumentDocumentUSER MANUAL SPARKULAR® JET II V1.0 2025/03/31 Showven Technologies Co., Ltd. Thanks for choosing SPARKULAR® JET II, 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. \ SPARKULAR® JET can be used in rain, but after use please clean it, and store it at dry environment. \ Make sure lid of feeding hopper are well covered when use SPARKULAR® JET II. \ Accidentally burning of consumable in the hopper 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 or even damage SPARKULAR® JET II. \ Please be noted that there may sparks or remains fall to the ground. Make sure there is no flammable objects such as carpet on the ground within the safety radius around machine. \ Maximum cascade of SPARKULAR® JET II is 3 units with a standard power cable. Exceed connecting may result in damage or even cause fire. \ For better heat dissipation, block the air intake and air outlet is prohibited. \ Cover the output nozzle of SPARKULAR® JET II 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® JET II, danger of getting burnt \ Never touch the sparks which shooting out from the nozzle \ Ensure that children, animals and unauthorized persons don't have access to the SPARKULAR® JET II. Safety Distance \ Keep audience and flammable material at a minimum distance of 1.5m (when use HC8200 SMALL) or 3m (when use HC8200 MEDIUM or LARGE) from SPARKULAR® JET II. \ Make sure sparks shoot out from SPARKULAR®JET II can NOT touch any objects. And keep a clearance with minimum 2m from the setting maximum effect height. \ In windy environment, increase the safety distance according to the wind direction and speed. \ The safety zone area shifts accordingly when machine use angled extension tube. Please increase the safety distance in the angled direction. \ Sparks and consumables from the machine can lead to serious eye injury. Always wear safety goggles when enter the safety zone. Description SPARKULAR® JET II is a brand new upgrade based on our first generation of SPARKULAR® JET combined with valuable feedbacks from our customers, latest technologies and our years of experiences. It is with much shorter firing delay and allows triple continuous shots within 1s delay. Besides, it updated to our latest rear interface design with ARM indicator light. Except both 3 and 5-pin DMX interface, it can also be triggered by 9-60V pyro signal. It is perfect effects solution for stadium, concerts etc. medium to large events.

Install SPARKULAR® JET II a) SPARKULAR® JET II can only installed horizontally. If need to firinng SPARKULAR® JET in angles, please use angled extension tube. b) Make sure the machine is securely installed to avoid tipping. c) Check carefully the output nozzle and extension tube of each machine, make sure the output nozzle and extension tube are in good shape and there is no powder aggregate. d) Install the extension tube if use HC8200 MEDIUM and HC8200 LARGE. When use HC8200 SMALL there is no need to install extension tube. e) Beside the standard straight extension tube, there are other two angled extension tubes optional: 30° angled extension tube and 45° angled extension tube. f) Be aware that there will be sparks drop on ground when use angled extension tube. g) Safety distance should shift accordingly when use angled extension tube. 2. Fill SPARKULAR® JET II a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. There are two hoppers, please fill both of the hoppers. Hopper capacity of SPARKULAR® JET II is 450g each. b) Make sure the powder is originally from SHOWVEN directly or SHOWVEN authorized distributor, other types of powder may block even damage the machine. c) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario. SPARKULAR® JET II can only use HC8200 LARGE, MEDIUM and SMALL. d) Please be noted that there may sparks or remains fall to the ground. Make sure no flammable material on ground in the safety zone. e) Maximum effect height: HC8200 LARGE is 10m, HC8200 MEDIUM is 8m, HC8200 SMALL is 7m. f) 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® JET II. 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 the POWER IN of next machine. c) The SPARKULAR® JET II power supply cable maximum allowed cascade is 3 units. Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit. d) Power ON all SPARKULAR® JET II. e) Assign DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR® JET II. If use SHOWVEN host controller or FXcommander to control the machine please allocate a unique DMX address for each unit of machine. f) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX IN socket of first unit of SPARKULAR® JET II, 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. 4. Activate SPARKULAR® JET II by swipe RFID card a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR® JET II screen flash once if read successfully. SPARKULAR® JET II only compatible with V2.0 RFID card from SHOWVEN. b) SPARKULAR® JET II will report E4 when remaining firing times is less than 10times. c) Please note each RFID card come with 200g package HC8200 can increase single machine 30 firing times, the maximum recharge times each time for SPARKULAR® JET II is 120 times, when remaining firing times reached 120, it can't recharge anymore RFID card. CN. 00000001 5. Programming and Firing a) Programming SPARKULAR® JET II, set the "Material Select" in the menu according to the consumable (HC8200 LARGE / MEDIUM / SMALL) you use. b) Heating up and pressurize the machine, it takes around 8min. c) Make sure the prescribed safety zone is clear. d) Suggest to clear material before firing. e) Firing. SPARKULAR® JET II capable of three continuous shots, but the time gap between each shot should be equal or more than 1s. For better performance please be aware of this time gap. It takes about 30s for the pressure recovery after 3 continuous shots. 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) Clear material for SPARKULAR® JET II after show, clear material will remove the remaining particles from heating chamber. 6. urn off and clean up a) Power off SPARKULAR® JET II, allow SPARKULAR® JET to cool down after show. 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® JET II 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.
