OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
If this equipment is operated in any other way, than those described in this manual,
the product may suffer damage and the warranty becomes void.
Incorrect operation may lead to danger e.g. short-circuit, burns, electric shocks etc.
Do not endanger your own safety and the safety of others!
Incorrect installation or use can cause serious damage to people and property.
Before lling the unit disconnect the mains. Never ll with hot liquids.
Only use high quality, water based smoke uid recommended by the manufacturer. Other smoke uids
may cause clogging and void the warranty.
Always make sure there is sufcient smoke uid in the tank. Operating this smoke machine without
smoke uid will cause damage to the pump as well as over heating of the heater.
Operate the unit only after you have familiarized yourself with its functions, Do not permit operation by
persons not qualied for operating the unit and always drain the tank and use the original packaging if the
unit is to be transported.

DMX Chart
STARTING OPERATION
The uid tank of the unit needs to be lled with smoke uid before switching on.
Always disconnect it from the mains supply as uid could be spilled.
Only use quality smoke uids recommended by your dealer. We recommend high quality
smoke uids. You must not use substances which are classied as
“DANGEROUS WORKING MATERIALS” or “FLAMMABLE FLUIDS”.
If uid should get inside the main housing, disconnect the unit from the mains immediately and
consult a technician.
OPERATION
Before switching the unit on, please make sure that the LCD timer remote control is connected to
the unit properly.
After switching on via the On/off switch the controllers LCD screen will display “WARMING UP”.
When the unit has reached the correct temperature, the LCD display will show “READY TO FOG”
and the unit is now ready for operation.

DMX Control Mode
Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest exibility when it comes
to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the
xture and each xture independently.
Setting the DMX address
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a
“start address” from 1- 511. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the
data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7
channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from
channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do
not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.
DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between
intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the
controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the
DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a
data “out” terminal).
DMX Linking:
• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together
and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest
cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the
DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere
in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a
DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to
address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The VP-3000 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the
unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output
(gure 1).
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
DMX SET UP
Notice:
• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer
casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to
avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behaviour.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin
XLR xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin
XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the
correct cable conversion.
Termination reduces signal transmission problems
and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a
DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the unit. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth.
Never use alcohol or solvents!
Clean the output nozzle frequently from smoke uid residues.
The smoke uids we recommend are non-hazardous to the environment and can be
disposed of via the sewage system.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit except for the fuse. Maintenance and service
operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
REPLACING THE FUSE
Only replace the fuse with a fuse of same type and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect from the mains.

Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder,
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
