cable may be purchased at almost all pro sound
and lighting stores). Your cables should be made
with a male and female XLR connector on either
end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable
must be daisy chained and can not be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow gure three when
making your own cables. Do not use the ground
lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the
cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow
the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing.
Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
Special Note: Line Termination.
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator
on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm
1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male
XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female
XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Haze 400™ Set Up
Set Up:
Before beginning initial setup of your Elation® Haze 400,™ make sure
that there is no evident damage caused in transit. In the event that the
unit’s housing or power cable is damaged do not attempt to use. Contact Elation® customer support for assistance.
• Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Be sure all foam
and plastic padding is removed.
• Place the hazer on a at surface and remove the hazer reservoir
cap.
• Note: The maximum uid level mark is located on the rear of the
hazer, do not ll uid beyond this mark.
• Fill the reservoir only with hazer liquid, being careful not to exceed
the maximum uid level. DO NOT OVERFILL. Use only Elation®
brand haze liquid. Any other types of uid can damage the unit.
When liquid level reaches the ll line, place cap back on liquid tank.
• Your hazer may be operated with or without a remote controller. If
you will be controlling your unit remotely, rmly attach the remote
control cable before plugging the unit in.
Power Supply:
Before plugging your unit in be sure the source voltage in your area
matches the required voltage for your Elation® Haze 400.™ The Elation®
Haze 400™ is available in a 115v and 230v version. Line voltage may
vary from venue to venue, you should be sure to plug your power supply
into a matching wall outlet before attempting to operate your hazer.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation Only):
The Haze 400 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Elation®
Haze 400™ uses one channel to control the output operation. The DMX
address is set on the rear panel of the Haze 400. DMX Traits: channel
value 0 to 5 no haze output, channel value 6 to 249 the Haze 400 will
produces haze.
Your hazer and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure 1). If you are making your
own cables, be sure to use standard two conductor shielded cable (This

Stand Alone Operation (Without the remote and a DMX
Controller):
Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. To operate without
remote control, simply turn hazer on. Haze emission will begin automatically.
Remote Operation:
Place your haze machine in a well ventilated area. Be sure your hazer
is placed on a flat, level surface. Be sure your hazer remote has been
plugged in securely. If you are using your hazer in DMX mode, be sure
your hazer is connected to a DMX line and the dip switches on the
rear of the unit have been properly set. Always maintain an adequate
supply of Elation Haze Juice™ in the fluid reservoir. Running the haze
machine dry will cause pump failure and or clogging. Running a haze
machine dry is the largest cause of haze machine failure. Only Elation
Haze Juice™ is recommended and not all haze juice is created equal.
Plug your haze machine into a standard 110V/120V supply. Once the
machine is plugged in and turned on, the power switch and a red
L.E.D. on the remote will begin to glow indicating the unit is receiving
power. The unit has a warm up time of ten (10) minutes.
DMX Operation:
The Haze-400 has on board DMX control. Currently, it uses 1 channel
to control output operation. The DMX channel is set on the back panel
of the Haze-400 by setting the dip switches to the desired channel.
If Channel A has a value from 0 to 5, the unit is OFF. Between the
values 6 to 249 the Haze-400 produces haze.

Haze 400™ Oper ati ng Instructions
Haze 400™ Set Up
Linking:
The Haze 400™ is a DMX intelligent hazer and must follow standard
DMX protocol when used in DMX mode. A DMX signal cannot be split
unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the American
DJ® DMX Branch 4.™ Link your hazers together using standard DMX
cable as described on page 4 of this manual. Be sure that each xture
follows an “IN”/”OUT” pattern starting from your DMX controller. Your
controller will always be the rst output in a DMX chain. Link all your
DMX devices together regardless of their brand or type. To control all
the hazers at once, set all the hazers to the same DMX address.
Haze 400™ Haze Fl uid
Hazer Liquid:
Only use Elation® brand haze juice. Elation® juice is specially formulated to be used in this machine, other brand uids may be made out
of chemicals that may clog your haze machine. Using haze juice other
than Elation® brand will void your manufactures warranty. Do not allow
the hazer liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on
the hazer liquid container and the hazer’s liquid tank immediately after
lling.
Important: Never mix oil-based and water-based hazer liquids. Before
switching the kind of hazer liquid in use, completely drain the hazer’s
tank to avoid mixing. Do not reuse any unused protions of haze juice.
