Operation Guide

1. Install SPARKULAR TRIPLE
   a) SPARKULAR TRIPLE 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 TRIPLE
   a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. Hopper capacity of SPARKULAR® TRIPLE is 160g. There are three hoppers for each unit of SPARKULAR TRIPLE.
   b) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario. HC8600 LARGE will have some sparks drop on ground, suggest HC8600 MEDIUM or SMALL for indoor use.
   c) Maximum effect height for HC8600 LARGE is 5m, HC8600 MEDIUM is 4m.
   d) 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 TRIPLE. 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 TRIPLE power supply cable maximum allowed cascade is 2pcs (BT51)/1pcs (BT52). Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit.
   d) Power ON all SPARKULAR TRIPLE.
   e) Assign DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR TRIPLE. 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 TRIPLE, 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 TRIPLE by swipe RFID card
   a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR TRIPLE shows time remain if read successfully.
   b) SPARKULAR TRIPLE will report E4 when remaining time is less than 10 minutes.
   c) Please note each RFID card come with 200g package HC8600 can increase single machine 20min working time, the maximum recharge time for SPARKULAR®  TRIPLE is 60min, when time remain reached 60min, it can’t recharge anymore RFID card.
5. Programming and Firing
   a) Programming SPARKULAR® TRIPLE, set the firing height, firing sequences etc.
   b) Heating up machine, it takes around 5min. it varies according to the voltage and environment temperature.
   c) Make sure the prescribed safety zone is 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® TRIPLE is 30s.
   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® II for 5s after show, clear material will remove the remaining particles from heating chamber.
6. Turn off and Clean up
   a) Power off SPARKULAR TRIPLE, allow SPARKULAR TRIPLE to cool down.
   b) Disconnect all POWER and DMX cables.
   c) Empty the remaining HC8600 in hoppers, and store the remaining HC8600 in a dry sealed bottle for next time use. Never touch the output nozzles of SPARKULAR® TRIPLE 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

1. Empty the feeding hopper before shipment of machine.
2. Empty the feeding hopper if long time not use, for high humidity environment we suggest to empty feeding hopper after each show.
