•
Installation
Make sure all the parts for fixing the smoke machine are in a good state of repair.
Make sure the point of anchorage is stable before positioning the fitting.
•
Minimum distance of flammable materials
The fitting must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least 1 metre
(3’ 3”) from every point on the surface of the fitting.
•
Direction and distance of the jet of smoke
Never turn the jet of smoke onto people or items that are flammable or can get
damaged or dirtied by the jet of smoke.
Installation above people is not permitted.
•
Maximum ambient temperature
For the fitting to operate well and reliably, the ambient temperature should not
exceed 35°C (95°F).
•
IP20 protection rating
The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies with a diameter of over
12mm (0,47”) (first digit 2), but not against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of
water (second digit 0).
•
Protection against electrical shock
This fitting is classified, in accordance with the type of protection against electrical
shock, in Class I. It must therefore be connected to a power supply system with
efficient earthing.
It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indirect contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.
•
Hooking up to the supply mains
The operations for connecting to the electricity mains must be carried out by a
qualified electrical installer.
Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to the frequency and voltage for which the smoke machine is designed, given on the rear panel.
This panel also gives the input power. Refer to this to evaluate the maximum number of fittings to connect to the electricity line in order to avoid overloading.
•
Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the fitting, cut off power from
the supply mains.
After switching off, do not touch the smoke nozzle for at least 1 hour to avoid
getting burnt.
•
Temperature of the external surface
The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting, in a thermally steady state, is 60°C (140°F) except for on the smoke nozzle
where it reaches 300°C (572°F).
The products referred to in this manual conform to the European Community Directives to which they are subject:
• Low Voltage 73/23
• Electromagnetic Compatibility 89/336

GOLDEN FOG 1000
Position the bracket (6) according to the desired angle and lock it with the knobs
(7). The bracket (6) can be height adjusted by using the two holes on the bracket; it
can moreover also be mounted towards the bottom of the fitting. These last steps
require fully extracting the knobs (7), putting the bracket (6) back into the desired
position and reinserting the knobs (7), tightening them appropriately.

Secure the bracket (6) to the body
of the smoke machine with the aid
of the screws (3) and toothed washers (4) specially supplied, then
position the bracket (6) according
to the desired angle and lock it
with the knobs (7).
The bracket (6) can also be mounted towards the bottom of the fitting. To do this, it is necessary to
fully extract the knobs (7) and
screws (3), reposition the bracket
(6) as preferred, put the knobs (7)
and screws (3) back in, together
with the toothed washers (4), then
lock the bracket (6) with the appropriate angle.
•
Installing the fitting
The fitting needs to be installed horizontally, the angle the machine makes must
be no greater than 30° so that no liquid will come out of the tank (8).
The GOLDEN FOG smoke machine can be stood "on the floor" on its rubber feet
(9).
If the fitting is installed "on the ceiling" it must be secured using solely the specific
mounting (6), through the hole in the centre of it. Use a screw ø10mm with nut
and spring washer.

Mains power connection
Each fitting should be connected with its own switch so it can be switched on and
off individually from a distance.
The smoke machine has to be hooked up to the electricity mains via the specific
socket (2) supplied.

Smoke emission can be controlled by pressing button (11) on the rear panel of
the machine or the button on the low-voltage remote control (1) supplied with the
machine. The indicator light (12) on the remote control (1) warns that the boiler is
at temperature. It is also possible to control the fitting with a 0-10V analogue signal via a cable terminated with a Cannon 5-pin XLR plug.

DMX 512
RS232/423
The connection between GOLDEN FOG 2000 DMX and the control unit and
between different fittings must be made with a cable in conformity with EIA RS485 specifications: braided, bipolar, shielded, 120Ω of characteristic impedance,
22-24 AWG, low capacity.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a microphone cable or any other cable with different
characteristics to the ones specified above.
IMPORTANT: The wires must make no contact with each other or with the metal
casing of the connectors. The casing needs to be connected to the braid of the
shield and to pin 1 of the connectors.
•
Fitting codes
Each GOLDEN FOG 2000 DMX occupies one control channel. For this to be correctly addressed to each fitting, it is necessary to code the machines.
This has to be done on each single smoke machine, switching the microswitches
(14) according to the following table. Coding can also be done with the machine
switched off.

The terminations need to be made with male/female connectors type XLR with 5
pins.
If you use the DMX signal it is necessary to give the last fitting a terminal plug
(13) with a resistance of 120Ω (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3.
If using the RS232/423(PMX) signal, the terminal is not required.
