warm-up and re-heating cycles (approx. 1-2 minutes), and stays ON when the machine becomes
operational. The Z-10 features the “toggle switch’’ function: press once for continuous “ON”, press again to
release continuous “ON” function
♦
Z-40: 10 meter wired remote controller with a 63 mm jack plug for ANTARI Fog Machine models Z-800II,
Z-1000II and Z-1020. Its two knobs allow the operator to customize the fog machine functions by adjusting
output duration and interval. Press the yellow TIMER-button to activate the timer function. Adjust the
interval between each fog emission (within the range of 10 second to 250 seconds) by means of the
INTERVAL control knob. Adjust the duration of each fog emission (within the range of 10 to 120 seconds)
by means of the DURATION control knob. When pressed, the green FOG button overrides all other
control functions and activates maximum output. Press the red POWER ON/OFF button for continuous
output.
♦
Z-50: Wireless remote controller with a 63 mm jack plug for ANTARI Fog Machine models Z-800II, Z1000II and Z-1020. A remote operation is possible up to a distance of 50 meters. Keep the red button

Performance Note
♦
All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some
moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing
your unit.
♦
All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so
after being turned off.
♦
All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself down for a
short period in order to heat up again. During this time no fog can be produced.
Maintenance
Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always place the caps back on the fog liquid container
and the fog machine liquid tank immediately after filling. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is
recommended to run a cleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and 20% ACETIC ACID through the
system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning regimen is as follows:
1.
Empty all fog liquid from the machine. Add cleaning solution to the tank. Plug the unit in and begin warm
up.
2.
Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
3.
Cleaning is now complete. Refill with fog liquid. Run the machine briefly to clear any cleaning solution from
the pump and heater.
4.
Do not operate the fog machine without liquid at any time.
Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid and the high
temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of
reliable use.
Clean with a dry cloth only. Store dry.
Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.
Storage
1. When storing run distilled water (not tap water) through the system as described in the cleaning
regimen above. This will help avoid any particles condensing inside the pump or heater.
8
2. 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. After that,
follow Step 1 under Storage.
Please read and save these instructions.

use 1 channel to control on/off operation. Each channel has a value range of 0 to 255. On/Off function
can be programmed using the DMX controller or the DMX control software being
used by lighting and effects operator.
If Channel A has a value from 0 to 128, the unit is OFF.
Between the values 129 to 255 the volume of fog output is is at maximum.
Note: In the example above, if the machine was assigned the DMX address of 130, Channel A would
correspond to DMX address 130.
In general, Antari fog machines with onboard DMX conform to the following performance specifications:
1. Average Operating temperature = 250ºC
2. Fogger can maintain maximum output for 30 seconds or more
Addressing
Each device occupies 1 channel. To ensure that the control signals are properly directed to each device, they
require adressing. This is to be adjusted for every single device by changing the DIP-switches as set out in the
table below.
The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the device will respond to the controller.
Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more devices are addressed
similarly, they will work similarly.
