Operation
Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Hurricane Bubble Haze product (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more Hurricane Bubble Haze products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master product will be set to operate in standalone mode, while the slave products will be
set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the
master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to 1.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave
product.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Addr shows on the display.

Maintenance
Hazer Maintenance
Do not allow the hazer mechanism to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use
CHAUVET Fog Machine Cleaner Fluid through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate
matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Empty all haze fluid from the machine.
3. Add cleaning solution to the Haze Fluid Reservoir.
4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the Haze Fluid Reservoir is almost empty. Do not allow
the pump to run dry.
6. Refill the Haze Fluid Reservoir with haze fluid to continue using the hazer. Run the machine briefly
to clear any remaining cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
Use the Bubble Cleaning Mode after every use.
Never operate the machine without fluid.
Fog Machine Cleaner Fluid was specifically developed by Chauvet to clean your
Hurricane Bubble Haze. Make sure you use Fog Machine Cleaner Fluid regularly, no longer
than 90 days between cleanings, to increase the life of your product.
Do not spin the blower fan using compressed air because it could be damaged.
Storage
Before storing the product, run Fog Machine Cleaner Fluid through the system as described in the cleaning
procedure above; however, only follow steps 1 through 5. Do not refill the Haze Fluid Reservoir with haze
fluid if storing the product. Cleaning the system prior to storage will help prevent any particles from
condensing inside the pump or heater while not in use.
Before storing the product, use the Bubble Cleaning Mode
Test-run your Hurricane Bubble Haze on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
.
Powering Off the Product for Transport
After using the Bubble Cleaning Mode, follow these instructions to prevent leaks. This will allow the air
pump to entirely clear the haze fluid line and heater of the haze fluid before power off.
To prevent spills or leaks before, during, or after transport, Chauvet recommends the
following steps for your Hurricane Bubble Haze:
1. Set the “Haze Volume” output to 0.
2. Wait 30-45 seconds.
3. When there is no more haze fluid in the output line, turn off the machine by pressing the
power switch.
