The on/off function can also be programmed with a DMX controller or DMX control software used by lighting and effects operator.

Channel A

11-255 = ON (1%-100%)

0-10 = OFF

If the value of channel A is set between 0 to 10, the unit is off. While the value is set between 11 to 255, the unit is on.

Note: Once DMX cable is connected to the unit, then the LCD control panel, W-1 transmitter and HC-1 controller connected cannot be used.

MAINTENANCE

1.Do not allow the snow liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the liquid container and the snow machine liquid tank immediately after filling.

2.Before storing away after each operation, rinse the system with pure water and let it pump for at least 1or 2 minutes. This step helps to ensure a longer life-span of the motor and the nozzle.

3.It is strongly recommended to regularly clean the dust/residue around snow machines' vent holes (on both sides of the machine). Simply use a small brush, a toothbrush for example, and gently brush in the direction from top to bottom. This step helps to ensure that minimal debris will get into the machine or

causes clogging.

CAUTION

-Never drink snow fluid. If it is ingested and feel sick in any case, call the doctor immediately.

!If haze fluid comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with cold water.

-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 again. If the machine is still not functional, discontinue operating otherwise it may result in permanent damage to the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer.
