3. Description of the Bubble BuddyTM

The Bubble BuddyTM produces a steady stream of small, uniform, 1” (2.5cm) bubbles.

The size and uniformity of the bubbles, makes them unique and fun to watch. You can

use the Bubble BuddyTM with an optional Universal DMX Controller, or ask to substitute

the Remote for the DMX controller. Use the long distance Director Jr. FanTM for 40’ (12m)

launch of bubbles or the Director FanTM for 70’ (21m) distance. The Bubble BuddyTM

comes with a 25’ (7.6m) remote and cycle-timer.

4.Safety Instructions

WARNING: Read and understand all labels and operating instructions

before attempting installation.

o Never open the machine without disconnecting power lead first! Risk of electrical

shock- This device is supplied with a grounding conductor. To reduce risk of electrical

shock, connect only to properly grounded, grounding type receptacles. Never remove the

third prong from the plug.

o Do not overfill your Bubble BuddyTM. Overfilling will cause the unit to leak, and present

the danger of electric shock.

o Keep this device dry.

o Keep the Bubble BuddyTM upright and level.

o Turn off or unplug when not in use.

o This machine is not waterproof or splash proof.

o No user serviceable parts inside. Refer to your dealer or other qualified service

personnel.

o For indoor use only. Not designed for outdoor use.

o For adult use only. The Bubble BuddyTM must be installed out of the reach of children.

Never leave the unit running unattended.

o Never aim the output at open flames.

o Extended use in one location without a fan, will make all surfaces slippery.

o Position output of bubbles away from persons.

o Unplug the machine when refilling the liquid or cleaning the system.

o Do not transport with liquid. If the machine gets wet, do not use until it is completely dry.

o Do not store Bubble BuddyTM in freezing conditions.

5. Operating the BUBBLE BUDDYTM

5.1 Selecting the Location

Place bubble machine on a flat surface, or hang it in a horizontal position only. Keep the

Bubble BuddyTM upright and level. Allow an open area in front of the machine for the

bubbles to disperse. Use a fan such as the Director JuniorTM pointing up from below to

disperse bubbles further. If hanging, ask for the fan mounts to hang also. This gives an

array of bubbles displayed much further and will reduce residue.

5.2 Electrical Power Requirements

This machine requires a well-grounded 110VAC circuit for operation. The Bubble

BuddyTM draws approximately 2 amps at 110 VAC. For 230 VAC, a transformer is

necessary. Do not plug into 230VAC without first using the transformer.

5.3 Hooking things up

Input stereo phono-plug into rear of machine. Turn on power to machine. To start/stop

machine, use controls or cycle-timer on remote. (See section 5.5 and 5.9 if you are using

the DMX Control.)

On / Off Switch

Fuse

Remote Control Jack

Low Fluid Indicator Lamp

Power Cord

5.4 Operating the machine

1. Add Bio-BubbleTM or BubblessenceTM fluid by slowly pouring into front tray until ¾ full.

Do not overfill! BubblessenceTM adds scent to create the fourth dimension in colorful

bubbles.

2. When the power switch is turned on, the light on the switch will illuminate. You may use

the on/off switch on the machine without the Remote Control (or the DMX Control)

plugged in. When the machine is turned on without the remote, you will notice that the

internal bubble drum and fan are activated. Bubbles are now produced. It is possible to

control the bubbles with the optional wireless remote control (110VAC only) from 50ft –

75ft (15m – 30m).

3. For cycle-timing of the machine, you must use the Remote Control. The red “on/off”

button must be depressed for “Timer” or “Bubble” functions to work. The fan and bubble

drum come on when the timer cycle begins and goes off when the cycle ends. The fan

and drum go on or off each time you press “Bubble” for short bursts of bubbles.

5.5 Optional DMX Control

With optional DMX control, you will be able to turn the Bubble BuddyTM on/off. (See

section 5.9 for more details on DMX operation.)

5.6 Rest Period

This machine can be run continuously until the reservoir is empty. Unplug the machine

when refilling the liquid or cleaning the system. Extended use in one location without a

fan, will make all surfaces slippery. Periodically, check surrounding area for safety.

5.7 Shut down

Regular cleaning of the bubble wheel is required. To clean, add warm water to the tray

and turn on machine, allowing the wands to be completely submerged over and over for

ten minutes. Change the water frequently until clean wands appear. Then dry the

machine with a paper towel prior to storage. Always draw out the fluid with a turkey

baster or similar device. (See section 6, Service and Maintenance.) If unavailable,

remove the two screws on each side near the front. Carefully pull up on the top, holding

the base flat. When liquid tray is exposed, remove it and wash before replacing.

5.8 Troubleshooting

1. If the unit does not light up when plugged in (power switch), check power supply, then

check fuse. Check connections. If this does nothing, disconnect power and call for

service.

2. When I plug in the remote stereo phono plug, it keeps running. Check to be sure

buttons on remote are not depressed. A small switch inside of the phono jack turns off

the machine when plugged fully into socket.

3. How do I attach the DMX? (see section 5.9).

4. When I plug in the remote, I have no control. If the connection is loose, it is possibly

broken. Wiggle the phono plug to check tightness. If loose, you may need a new circuit

board.

5.9 Notes on Optional DMX operation

Each DMX’d unit will occupy a unique DMX address on the DMX chain. By adjusting the

dip switches on the side of the DMX controller, the user may assign one address to the

machine, giving you on/off control with one DMX channel (there is no timer on this DMX).

Step 1). Attach the DMX cable phono plug to the upper “in” female connector located on

the back of the machine.

Step 2). The DMX address is configured by adding the dip switch numbers together to

total the number required (binary numbers). For example, DipSwitch 1 + 6 = 33. Your

DMX channel would be 33.

Dip Switch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Channel # 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

When you move the slide control or digital control to approximately the 50%

position the fan will turn on.

0 – 50% = Off

51– 100% = On

Attaching DMX cable: “Input” and “Output” designations on the DMX 5-pin XLR

connectors are arbitrary (i.e., you can use the input plug for output and visa-versa). It is

not necessary to attempt converting your DMX line’s connector to female/male to match

the appropriate socket on the plug. As long as it is looped in/out, it will work.

6. Service and Maintenance

Care of your Bubble BuddyTM will give you years of service. Note:

cleaning your unit is going to pay off in constant good performance.

1. Regular cleaning of the bubble wheel is required. To clean, add warm water to the tray

and turn on machine, allowing the wands to be completely submerged over and over for

ten minutes. Change the water frequently until clean wands appear.

2. To access the tray, loosen the two thumbscrews and remove the two adjacent retention

screws and lift the top. After cleaning, reinstall the retention screws and tighten the

thumbscrews. THE RETENTION SCREWS MUST BE IN PLACE IF THE MACHINE IS

TO BE HUNG BY THE HANGING BRACKET. Never hang without ALL of the screws in

place.

3. Dry the machine with a paper towel prior to storage.

4. Do not transport or ship with bubble fluid inside the machine.

5. Disconnect the remote or DMX control box before moving. This may be broken if pulled

or bumped.
