OPERATION

• When first unboxing, open the shipping carton and carefully remove the device. Be sure to remove ALL the packing material, paying particular attention to the area around the fog outlet vent.
• Always set up the device on a flat dry surface.
• Make sure that the unit is disconnected from power before adding any fluid to the tank.
• To access the fluid tank, unscrew the latch screw that is located on the back side of the unit, near the printed notice about the tank fluid, then open the access panel.
• To fill the tank, remove the tank from behind the tank access panel. Unscrew the tank cap and fill with MAGMATIC ATMOSITY fluid (SKU# AFF only), then replace the cap.
• Never run the device on anything other than an approved, MAGMATIC branded fluid, as doing so can result in severe damage to your device.
• When placing the tank back behind the access panel, be careful not to pinch, twist, or tangle the feed tube connected to the tank cap.
• To close and secure the tank access panel, tighten the latch screw by pushing it down while rotating.
• After re-connecting the device to a power source and switching it on, allow the fluid to warm up for at least nine (9) minutes before beginning fog emission.

PLEASE NOTE:
While the fog duration setting can be set as high as 250 seconds, the individual bursts of continuous fog output will only occur for a maximum of 8 seconds. For example, when the user sets a duration of 250 seconds, this does NOT mean that the device will be emitting fog continuously for the entire 250-second period. Rather, the device will produce a series of shorter fog bursts, each lasting up to 8 seconds, throughout the 250-second period.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the device to be managed, modified, and monitored remotely (hence, remote device management). This protocol is ideal for fixtures installed in locations that are not easily accessible.

With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use it’s SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience low output, pump noise, or no output at all, disconnect the device and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to continue operation as this may damage the machine. Check the fluid level, the breaker, and the wall outlet to make sure that it is sending power. If all the above factors do not appear to be causing the issue, and the unit still fails to operate correctly, the unit will require service. Please contact Magmatic Effects for assistance.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• When storing your device, be sure to store in a cool area. Cover the device so that dust does not build up on the device. When storing for long periods of time it is highly advisable to run the device at least once every 3-4 months. Long periods of inactivity can severely shorten the life of your device.
• Only run Magmatic’s Atmosity fluid (SKU# AFF) through your machine. Never run plain water, vinegar, or any other liquid solution through your device, as doing so will severely damage your device.
