Warning! To prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do
not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit. Do not
attempt any repairs yourself, doing so will void your manufactures warranty. In the unlikely event your unit may require service please contact
ADJ Products, LLC.
Do not discard the shipping cartoon in the trash. Please recycle when
ever possible.
SAFETY ISSUES:
NEVER POINT OR AIM A FOG MACHINE TOWARDS PEOPLE OR
THEIR CLOTHING. THIS UNIT EMITS HOT VAPOR AND SHOULD
BE USED WITH THE SAME CARE THAT YOU WOULD OBSERVE
WHEN USING AN ELECTRIC KETTLE OR IRON.
Please Note: Specications and improvements in the design of
this unit and this manual are subject to change without any prior
written notice.
• Be sure to save the packing carton in the unlikely event the unit
may have to be returned for service
• Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your fogger. Be
sure that all the fog uid is kept inside the uid reservoir
• Be sure that the local power outlet match that or the required
voltage for your fog machine
• Do not remove the top cover under any conditions. There are no
user serviceable parts inside
• Disconnect the unit’s main power when left unused for long peri-
ods of time
• Never connect this unit to a dimmer pack
• Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged in anyway
• Never operate this unit when it’s cover is removed
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or re, do not expose this
unit rain or moisture
• Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been fray ed or broken. Do not attempt to remove or break o the ground
prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used to reduce the
risk of electrical shock and re in case of an internal short
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection
• Never block the ventilation holes. Always be sure to mount this
unit in an area that will allow proper ventilation. Allow about 6”
(15cm) between this device and a wall
• This unit is intended for indoor use only, use of this product out doors voids all warranties
• Always mount this unit in a safe and stable matter
• Please route your power cord out of the way of foot trac. Power
cords should be routed so they are not likely to be walked on,
pinched by items placed upon or against them
• The unit should only be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
C. The unit has been exposed to rain or water.
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
Termination reduces signalerrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference. It is always advisableto connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

Entourage DMX Information Entourage DMX Information
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your ADJ Entourage.
The ADJ Entourage is available in a 120v and 230v version. Because
line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your
unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to operate you xture.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA
“OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
dierent 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 fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned 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 fixture 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 Entourage can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Entourage
has 3 DMX channel modes, 1 channel, 2 channel, and 4 channel. The
DMX address is set on the back panel. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for
data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making
your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120
Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased
at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should
be made with a male and female XLR connector on
either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX
Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. 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 behavior.

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart

Entourage Maintenance Entourage Maintenance
The uid cannot get dirty. Always make sure the cap is clean
and the fog uid line. Periodically nozzle maybe come clogged
by impurities contact ADJ customer service for a replacement
nozzle.
With prolonged use, the ight case side air lter can accumulate
dust. Perodically remove the ight case side cover and remove
the air lter to clean. After cleaning, be sure to dry the air lter,
an reinstall the lter and cover. If you would like to replace the
air lter, contact ADJ customer service.
With prolonged use, the the sponge inside the vent may accumulate oil. Periodically clean the sponge or replace with a new
one. If you would like to replace the sponge, contact ADJ cus-
tomer service.
When storing your fog machine be sure to store it in a cool area.
Cover the machine so that dust does not build up on the unit. When
storing the machine for long periods of time, it is highly advised to at
least run the machine every 3-4 months. Long periods of inactivity
can severly shorten the life of your machine. Only run water based
fog juice through your machine. Never run plain water, vinegar, or any
other liquid solution through your machine. Running anything other
then water based fog juice will severly damage your machine.
The Entourage fog machine carries a one year (365 days) limited warranty. Please fill out the enclosed warranty card to validate your purchase. All returned service items whether under warranty or not, must
be freight pre-paid and accompany a return authorization (R.A.) number. The R.A. number must be clearly written on the outside of the
return package. A brief description of the problem as well as the R.A.
number must also be written down on a piece of paper and included
in the shipping container. If the unit is under warranty, you must provide a copy of your proof of purchase invoice. You may obtain a R.A.
number by contacting customer support at (800) 322-6337.
