Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.

AC Power

To determine the power requirements for a particular product, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the product or refer to the product’s specifications chart. A product’s listed current rating is its
average current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched
circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power, check that the source
voltage matches the product’s requirement.

Warning! This product was made to operate at a fixed voltage. There is no voltage select

switch! Verify that the voltage requirement for this fixture matches the line voltage
applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the fixture.

• This product is intended for indoor use only!

• To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose unit to rain or moisture. Make sure there are no

flammable materials close to the unit while operating.

• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50cm) from adjacent
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

• Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to
replace with same lamp source.

• Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 95°F (35°C). Do not operate fixture at temperatures higher
than this.

• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the
unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please
contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.

• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.

• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.

Arena Hazer User Manual 4 2007-05-29/16:06

WARNING!

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. Cleaning your fog machine regularly

will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.

Maintenance

Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. After every 40 hours of continuous
operation, it is recommended to run a cleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and
20% distilled vinegar 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 tank. Plug 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. Replace nozzle.

4. Cleaning is now complete. Refill with fog liquid. Run the machine briefly to clear any
cleaning solution from the pump and heater.

5. Do not operate the fog machine without liquid at any time.

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.

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

3. SETUP

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always
replace with the same type fuse.

Fuse Replacement

With a flat head screwdriver wedge the fuse
holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged
fuse from its holder and replace with exact
same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in
its place and reconnect power.

With a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse
holder from its housing. Remove the damaged
fuse from its holder and replace with exact
same type fuse. Screw the fuse holder back in
its place and reconnect power.

Fixture Linking

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller
or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number
of fixtures the data link can support.

Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the EIA-485

standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32
fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in
deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

FUSE

Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures

Data Cabling

To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET-certified DMX
cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own
cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to
electromagnetic interference.

DMX DATA CABLE

Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications.
Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will
have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

Arena Hazer User Manual 8 2007-05-29/16:06

CABLE CONNECTORS

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

SETTING THE STARTING ADDRESS

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address"
from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel
indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses 6 DMX channels and was addressed to start on
DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses
so that the channels used do not overlap, and note the start address selected for future reference.

If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol, we suggest jumping to the
Appendix Section and reading the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that will help you
understand its use.

Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the fixture. Each dip switch
has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide the start address.
Figuring out which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be accomplished by determining
which switch values will add up to the address value, and turning these switches on. Do so by doing the
following:

1) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the start address. Turn this switch on.

2) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the starting address number.

3) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the remainder from the previous subtraction. Turn this
switch on.

4) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the remainder of the previous subtraction.

5) Repeat steps three and four until you have a remainder of zero.
