Hanging Bracket
The unit may be installed at floor level or suspended overhead via the hanging bracket. If the unit is to be mounted using the bracket, it is important that the fog does not shoot directly at any one's face. Whatever installation method you choose, do not allow the unit to have more than a 15° angle of inclination.
Important
!Always monitor tank fluid level when you are fogging. Running a fog machine with no fluid can permanently damage the unit.
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check fluid level, the
external fuse, control module connection, and power from the wall. If all of the above appears to be
O.K., plug the unit in again. If fog does not come out after holding the control module button MANUAL 
down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going
through the hose. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue
pushing the control module button, as this may damage the unit. Return the machine to your ANTARI
dealer.

Antari X-30PRO Control Module Operation
X-30PRO Wireless Control Module Operation
All the X-10PRO features plus wireless capability.
The wireless control module X-30PRO consists of a transmitter equipped with two buttons for fog on and off, and a receiver pre-attached to the panel of each X-30PRO.
* Transmitter:
With the transmitter it is possible to emit fog via radio over a distance of up to 50 meters. The transmitter is compatible to any receiver of the X-30PRO and can control an unlimited number of machines in parallel.
Press the button “A”, to emit fog. The button “A” has the same function as the button VOLUME on the control panel, i.e. the fog output depends on the setting of menu item »Volume Out«. The display indicates Volume followed by the defined value or NON STOP BURST when continuous fog output was selected. To stop the fog output, press the button “B”.
* Receiver:
The receiver is tested and pre-attached to the panel of each X-30PRO. Please do not try to remove it. The receiver responds to up to 5 different transmitters that are registered with the machine. The included transmitter has been registered to the machine before shipment. It can be directly operated without any start-up setting.
9
-Registering transmitters
To operate the machine with a different transmitter than the included one, or to operate it with up to 5 different transmitters, each transmitter must be registered first. For this purpose, turn on the machine. When the display indicates Wireless Setup , press the button “A” 1 second on each transmitter. Thus the previous transmitters are cleared from the memory of the receiver. The setting must be completed within 15 seconds after switching on the machine. Then the machine will automatically exit the transmitter setting mode. The display shows Wireless Setup OK . At this point, no further transmitter can be added.
If no transmitter is registered when the machine is switched on, the memory of the receiver will keep the record of the previous operation.
Setting Example 1:
In order to register several transmitters with a machine, turn on the machine. When the display indicates Wireless Setup , press the button “A” 1 second on each transmitter within 15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.
Setting Example 2:
In order to use 1 transmitter to control 2 or more machines, turn on the machines respectively. When the displays indicate Wireless Setup , press the button “A” 1 second on the transmitter within 15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.
- Battery change on the transmitter
If the range of the transmitter decreases, the battery is probably exhausted and must be replaced. For this purpose, take off the housing cover and remove the used battery. Insert a fresh battery as indicated in the battery compartment and refit the housing cover.
- Switching the wireless function on and off
Press the button FUNCTION until the display indicates Wireless On . Use the buttons UP and DOWN to deactivate the wireless function (indication Wireless Off ) and to reactivate it (indication
Wireless On ).
*Note: When warming-up process is completed and wireless function is activated the LCD screen indicates “Ready To Fog W”. (“W” means Wireless) On the contrary, when the wireless function is
deactivated the LCD screen shows “Ready To Fog” (Without “W”).
10
Prior to shipment, the X-510PRO (1000W) and X-515PRO (1500W) Foggers are fully tested and the liquid in the tank and the liquid tube are fully cleaned in-house. When operating the unit for the first time, please press the button MANUAL 
for 3 to 5 seconds to let the unit circulate. Please do not try to set the Timer function on your first operation. It is normal for the machine to produce some pumping sound for about 3 to 5 seconds. After the machine operates smoothly you can start to set the desired operating functions. In addition, it is recommended to clean the liquid tank and follow the steps mentioned above after each transport.
-The X-510PRO and X-515PRO Foggers have a recycling period after long bursts (X-510PRO: approx. 35 seconds, X- 515PRO: approx. 45 seconds). The machine will shut itself down for a short period (about 100 seconds) in order to heat up again. During this time, no fog can be produced.
It is a normal situation to see some residual fog spurt (1~2 times) after the machine has stopped producing fog. This is due to natural vaporization when there is remaining liquid residue inside the liquid tube and when the machine is still at a high temperature.
11
Maintenance & Storage
Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always put the caps back on the fog liquid container and the fog machine liquid tank immediately after filling. Do not operate the fog machine without liquid at any time.
Clean with a dry cloth only. Store dry. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.
Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. It is strongly recommended to clean the fogger by running with distilled water after every 2000 hours of operation. A properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use.
It is strongly recommended to test-run the machine on a monthly basis in order to achieve its best fogging condition. A test-run consists of warming up the machine followed by a few minutes of emission. Then please cool down the machine.
