INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
Carefully read this instructions manual in its entirety and keep it safe for future reference.
It is essential to know the information and comply with the instructions given in this manual in order to ensure the fitting is installed, used and serviced cor­rectly and safely.
CLAY PAKY S.p.A. disclaims all liability for damage to the fitting or to other property or persons deriving from installation, use and maintenance that have not been carried out in conformity with this instructions manual, which must always accompany the fitting.
CLAY PAKY S.p.A. reserves the right to modify the characteristics stated in this instructions manual at any time and without prior notice.
Congratulations on choosing a Clay Paky product! We thank you for your cu­stom. Please note that this product, as all the others in the rich Clay Paky range, has been designed and made with total quality to ensure excellent performance and best meet your expectations and requirements.
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

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.

RS232/423(PMX)-DMX 512 connection

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, 120of 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 120(minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3. If using the RS232/423(PMX) signal, the terminal is not required.

Automatic operation
Turning the AUTO microswitch (16) onto ON puts the fitting onto automatic ope­ration. Keeping the microswitch on this position, the frequency of the sprays of smoke delivered depends on the level set on the DIL microswitches (14) normal­ly used to select the address; there are therefore 512 possibilities for adjust­ment. If automatic operation is activated, the four LEDs (17) on the rear panel come on alternately from the bottom upwards. When the machine is controlled via the control unit (AUTO microswitch on the OFF position) the frequency of the sprays varies as the adjustment potentiome­ter moves forward.
After completing all the preliminary operations and installation, fill the tank with smoke machine liquid, press the switch, wait for the boiler to reach temperature, then check that smoke is generated and everything works properly.
IMPORTANT: Use solely CLAY PAKY smoke liquid in the light, medium and heavy versions. Other types of fluid could impair the operation of the smoke ma­chine and/or seriously damage some components.
On the rear panel of the GOLDEN FOG 2000 DMX model there is an indicator li­ght (18 – “Fluid Empty”) to signal the liquid has finished.
