By following the suggestions found in this user manual, you can look forward to the best, virtually invisible haze effect and reliable, satisfactory performance of your ANTARI HZ-

500 Hazer for years to come.

Please follow these operational and safety instructions to ensure a long and safe life for your hazer.

Danger of Electric Shock

▪Keep this device dry

▪Use grounded electrical outlet. Prior to use take care to determine that the unit is installed at the rated voltage.

▪Always unplug the hazer before filling its tank.

▪Turn off or unplug when not in use.

▪This machine is not water-proof. If moisture, water, or hazer fluid gets inside the housing, immediately unplug the unit and contact a service technician or your ANTARI dealer before using it again.

Grounding Instructions

▪This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

▪This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.

▪The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances

WARNING

Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in sketch A in the following Figure. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product draws. For lengths less than ___ ft, ___ AWG extension cords shall be used. An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.

Danger of Burn

▪No user serviceable and modifiable parts inside. Do not disassemble the housing and do any modification; otherwise damage of the device or danger of burn may be caused.

▪For adult use only. Hazer must be installed out of the reach of children. Never leave the unit running unattended.

▪Position the haze machine in well-ventilated area. Please leave about

20 cm spaces surrounding the machine.

▪Never aim the machine at open flames or close to flammable items.

▪Never add flammable liquids of any kind (oil, gas, perfume) to the hazer liquid.

▪Use only dealer recommended ANTARI high-quality hazer liquid (HZL). Please do not use any other liquid which may cause erosion of inner parts.

▪If your ANTARI HZ-500 Hazer fails to work properly, stop using immediately. Drain all hazer liquid from the tank, pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your ANTARI dealer for service.

▪Please note before sending the machine for transporting purpose, make

sure the haze fluid tank is empty.

▪Never drink haze liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor immediately. If hazer liquid comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Pay attention to all warning labels and instructions printed on the exterior of your ANTARI Hazer

Unpacking & Inspection

Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system has arrived intact. Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI HZ-500 Hazer, make sure that there is no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event of that the unit's housing or cable is damaged, do not plug it in and do not use it until contacting your ANTARI dealer for assistance.

Operation & Filling Haze Liquid

1.Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

2.Remove the fluid tank cap and pour the ANTARI Haze Liquid into the tank slowly and carefully to avoid overfilling. (Filling Suggestion: Please add 2 litres haze liquid in the first time of refill. Since second refill, add 1 litre haze liquid for every refill.) Make sure the liquid level does not does not exceed the mark on the tank.

3.Please refill haze liquid slowly. Otherwise, the haze liquid may overfill and damage machine. Basically, every refill process of 1-litre haze liquid must be separated into 5 times. It means after refilling about

200c.c. haze liquid you have to stop refilling and check the tank.

Please make sure that the last 200c.c haze liquids go through the filter inside the tank properly before pouring next 200c.c. haze liquids into the tank. (Usually it takes about 10 seconds for 200c.c. haze liquid to go through the filter)

4.Please use only dealer-recommended high-quality haze liquid . Any other types of fluids may cause health hazard and damage the unit. Use of any other liquids may void warranty.

5.Please open the square door on the top of the flightcase before

operation in order to let the haze come out smoothly.

6.Set the power switch to “ON” on the control panel of the machine. Make sure that the red indicator light is on.

7.There is an intake hole in the back of the flightcase. There are a metal net and a filter attached on the intake, which can avoid the unit from clogging problem. Please inspect and clean the metal net and filter periodically.

Caution

1.Always monitor and make sure that there is sufficient haze liquid inside the tank during operation.

2.When the machine is operated for a longer period of time under openair conditions, falling dust/debris might attach to the metal net and filter on the intake hole. The metal net and filter is serviceable, which means those can be detached easily by screw driver. Please use water to clean the metal net and

filter periodically. By doing this can avoid dust going into the hazers and prevent the clogging problem of hazers.

3.If you have followed the above operation steps, and you still experience low output, mechanical noise or no output at all, unplug the unit immediately from the mains. Check the fluid level, the external fuse, the remote control connection, and the power cable from the wall. If all of the above appears to

be O.K., plug the unit in again. If the hazer still does not function, discontinue operation or it may result in permanent damage to the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer. Always drain tank before mailing or transporting this unit.

4. Please detach the cap on the tank if you want to clean the cap.

Do not wipe it directly when the cap is attached on the tank. By doing this you can avoid the dust fall into the fluid tank and contaminate the haze liquids.

5.Please do not allow magnetic equipments to be close to the haze outlet door of hazer. Magnetic equipment could cause wrong action of the door sensor.

Note 1: The control of the master unit will override the control of the panel controller when connecting the haze machine via DMX

Note 2: When hazer is under “DOOR SENSOR ON” mode, if the haze outlet door is not opened properly, and user try to make the hazer work, the buzzer will beep to warn and “DOOR CLOSED!!” will be shown on the flickering LCD screen and hazing working will be stopped until the door is open firmly. On the other hand, if hazer is under “DOOR SENSOR OFF” mode, above situation will not occur.

Note 3: If the HZ-500 LCD screen shows “Out Of Order”, the machine's internal temperature is too high and as a result the thermostat has been set off to shut-down the hazer. If you experience this problem, please check 2 points as described below:

1.Check if the mesh (filter) outside the ventilation fan is clean and without debris. If the mesh is covered by dust or obstruction (such as paper, plastic bag, etc.), the machine is put into a very poor ventilation condition and causes the internal temperature to rise. Therefore, it is strongly suggested

to clean the mesh regularly.

2.Check the surrounding temperature at the hazer's place of installation. If the temperature of the surrounding environment is too high, please move the machine to a cooler place with better ventilation.

Note 1: The control of the master unit will override the control of the panel controller when connecting the haze machine via DMX

Note 3: If the CH-500 LCD screen shows “Out Of Order”, the machine's internal temperature is too high and as a result the thermostat has been set off to shut-down the hazer.

Note 4: Before moving the machine it is important to replace the nozzle by the black rubber cover and make sure it is press tightly in order to prevent the HZL-1 Haze liquid spill if the machine is upside down during the transportation.Before reuse the machine, please put the alumina round shape nozzle back to the machine and make sure it is properly installed.
