-Packaging
The shipping carton should include the following items:
1.X-310PROFazer machine with power cable
2.X-10PROControl module
3.Fluid tank
4.User manual
4
OptionalAccessories:
1. X-30PROWireless Control Module
2.FX-310 X-310PROFlightcase
-Setup
1.Remove allpacking materials from shippingbox. Check that allfoam and plastic padding is removed,especially in the nozzle area.
2.Place fog machine on a flat surface and remove fog liquid tank cap.
3.Fill with only Antari FogFluid. Antari X-310PROFazer only works with uncontaminated Antari
FLG FogFluid. Other fluids may cause spitting and seriouscloggingproblem and could result in the production of an unhealthfulfog. The use of otherfluids will void the warranty of the Antari X-310PROFazer.When filled,place cap back on liquid tank.
-Operation
1.The plugis at a position that isaccessible when the machine isin use.
2. Plugpower cord into agrounded electrical outlet. Turn power switch on rear of unit to " ON" position. Warm-up is complete after approx.8 minutes when the display on the control module indicates "Ready to Fazer”.
3.To emit fog,please set thedesired settingson your X-10PROControlModule for interval,
duration,and press the 
appropriatebutton on the control module forthe desired length of time.
4.The controlunit'sdisplay will cycle "Warming up"and"Ready to Fazer" while the machine re-heatsto the proper operatingtemperature.
5.When the fluid isrunning low, the LED inside the tank chamber startsblinking fortwo minutes and then stopsthe operation to protect the pump from runningdry.
6.The “Fanleaf” design can be adjusted by the pump-type screws on both sidesto position the faze output angle. In general,the haze produced from the X-310PROFazer is semi-transparent due tofan spread. Thus,it isbest to position it on the low ground and let it produce haze upwardlyto have ideal coverage.
7.Forfurther information on operating your ANTARIX-310PROFazer,see thesection titled, "Control Module Operation"on page 4.
Important:
Always monitortankfluid level as you are fogging. Running a fogmachine with no fluid can permanently damage the pump.
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check fluid level, the externalfuse, controlmodule connection,and powerfrom thewall. If all of the above appears to beO.K.,plugthe unit in again. If fogdoes not come out afterholdingthe 
button down for
5
30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose. If you are unable todetermine the cause of the problem,do not simply continue pushingthe control module button,as thismay damage the unit. Return the machine to your ANTARI dealer immediately.

If the machine was assigned to the DMXaddress 124 e.g., Channel A would correspond to DMX address 124 and channel125 will automatically be selected for fan control.
Please note: YourX-310PROFazer and its liquid tank and tube were thoroughly tested and cleaned. When operatingthe unitfor the time,please press the button
MANUAL for3 to 5 secondsto let the unit circulate. Please do not try to set the timer function on your first operation. In addition, it isnormalfor the machine toproduce some pumping sound for about 3 to 5 seconds. Afterthe machine is operating smoothly you can start to set the desired operatingfunctions. In future, it is stronglyrecommended to emptythe liquid tankbefore transporting and follow the methods mentioned above for machine circulation after each transportation.

In general,fan speed and fogdensity are in reverse propotion. Forexample, if you are operating at 100% fog output, and fan speed isslow, heavyfog is beingproduced. When fan speed is high, fogdensity is consequently lighter/more transparent.

If Channel Bhas avalue from 0 to 5,the unit is OFF.
Between the values 6 to255 the volume of fog output isregulated.With 6 beingthe minimum volume of fogproduced and 255 the maximum. The volume output rises as the DMXvalue is increased. The AntariX-310PROFazer can produce maximum continuousoutput.
-Maintenance & Storage
Do not allowthe fogliquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the fog liquid

container and the fogmachine liquid tank immediately afterfilling.Do notoperate the fog machine without liquid at anytime.
Clean with adry cloth only. Storedry. Cleaning your fog machine regularlywill help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.
Note: All fogmachinesare prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fogliquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. It is strongly recommended that after2,000hours of operation,do regularmaintenance andservices. A properlymaintained fog machine shouldprovide years of reliable use.
It is stronglyrecommended to test-run the machine on a monthlybasis in order to achieve its best foggingcondition. A test-run consistsof warming up the machine followedbyafew minutesof emission. Then please cooldown themachine.
-Performance Notes
It is recommended that you set Fan output to 100% and FogVolume output between 15 to 20%. Thissettingwill guarantee continuousoutput of very fine haze effect.Press button to set your desired fog effect.
Wheneverenormouseffect isrequired,press 
Manual key to emit faze at 100% output instantly.
