Description
The AmHaze ECO is a professional water-based haze machine that delivers high output while utilizing
economic fluid consumption. With a 30-second heat up time and continuous output that doesn’t require
reheating, a single fluid container at the maximum output of 120 cfm will last over 8 hours. Easily control
the output and fan speed via DMX or on the on-board control knobs. The AmHaze ECO comes ready to
rest on the floor and is also equipped with M12 threaded inserts for truss clamps, an easy way to mount
the 25lb machine. The AmHaze ECO combines high output with efficient operation for a complete
atmosphere solution for medium to large venues.
Features
•Professional water-based haze machine
•30-sec heat up time nearly eliminates wait time for operation
•Continuous output with no reheating required
•Tour-ready with M12 threaded insert for truss clamps

Setup
3. Setup
AC Power
The AmHaze ECO has a fixed power supply that works with an input voltage of either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or
230 VAC, 50 Hz, depending on the specific model.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current
value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.
The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
•Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure
the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or
fire.
•To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
AC Plug
The AmHaze ECO comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon A connector on
one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came with your
product has no plug, or if you need to change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug.

Resetting the Breaker
This product is equipped with a resettable circuit breaker. If the breaker trips, all sections of this product will
lose power.
1.Remove the power cord from mains power.
2.Allow unit to cool for 15 minutes.
3.After 15 minutes, you may attempt to reset the breaker by pressing the button with your finger.
4.Plug the product’s power cord into the power outlet and continue using as recommended.
DMX Linking
You can link the AmHaze ECO to a DMX controller using a 3- or 5-pin DMX connection. If using other
DMX-compatible products with this product, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Personalities
The AmHaze ECO uses a 3- or 5-pin DMX data connection for the 3-channel DMX personality.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave
connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download
the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com
.
Remote Device Management (RDM)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The AmHaze ECO supports RDM protocol
that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.

Maintenance
5. Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Do not allow the haze machine to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use
CHAUVET Fog Cleaner Quart (FCQ) 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 fluid from the machine.
3. Add cleaning solution to the tank.
4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is empty.
6. Refill with fluid to continue using the hazer. Run the machine briefly to clear any cleaning solution
from the pump and heater.
•FCQ (Fog Cleaner Quart) was specifically developed by CHAUVET to clean your
AmHaze ECO. Make sure you use FCQ regularly to increase the life of your hazer.
•Do not spin the fans using compressed air because you could damage the hazer.
•Test-run your AmHaze ECO on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
Never operate the machine without fluid.
Storage
Before storing the product, empty the fluid reservoirs. Cleaning the system prior to storage will help
prevent any particles from condensing inside the heating element while not in use.
Test-run your AmHaze ECO on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.
