Evaporative Snow™ Solution Mixture
Solution Mixture:
Global Special Effects™ Labs are constantly inventing and reformulating solutions in order to
improve the snow from the SNOW STORM. Please contact Global Special Effects™ at 256-2295551 for more information. In order to prevent operation problems and observe the Warranty
guidelines, always use a Global Special Effects™ approved solution. The FG-100 Snow Solution
comes premixed and ready to use. You will have to pour the solution into the plastic bottle that
comes with the SNOW STORM, if the solution bottle does not fit into the well on the SNOW
STORM.
FG-100 Evaporative Snow™ premixed. Recommended
Global Special Effects premixed solutions are designed with the highest grade of available water
based surfactants. The surfactant-based solution is mixed with de-ionized water to leave no residue
when using the snow machine properly. The use of de-ionized water is necessary to create a bright
fluffy snowflake. Global Special Effects Laboratories have researched and developed the driest
available snow solution on the market today. FG-100 premixed weight: 9.8 pounds.
Using Evaporative Snow™ concentrate solution FG-100C
Global Special Effects Labs have designed a concentrated version of FG-100 premixed in an attempt to
save shipping cost to our customers. The ratio mix for this snow solution is 8 oz. of solution per one
gallon of water. It is important to remember that the kind of water used will affect the quality of snow.
The recommended water to use is de-ionized water. This form of water has no minerals, hard
properties or chlorine. De-ionized water is the base ingredient in our formulation, because it makes
the best foam and leaves no water stains. It was originally used for the movie industry, so if the snow
landed on a camera lens, it would not leave a water ring. Since this formulation has no chemical, it
dries and leaves no film. De-ionized water is not available in grocery stores and can only be found at
medical supply companies. If your event does not require the use of a movie camera or will not land
on glass, distilled water may be used. Be aware that if you use tap water, it may have hard agents that
can cause poor looking snow. In this case, order FG-100 premix. The use of tap water, city water or
well water can be used with the following warnings: Certain tap waters contain high mineral content
and will produce a minimal amount of snow. These minerals will not produce a bright white flake. If
de- ionized water is not available, use distilled water.
See chart below (Chart 1) for some examples of common water/solution ratios. Please read before
mixing this product with water. Make sure you adhere to the mixing proportions.

General Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions:
The SNOW STORM has some simple instructions that must be carefully followed in order to
create the desired evaporative snowfall, ensure the safety of the operators/participants and to
protect the equipment from damage.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
1)
Mount the SNOW STORM on a secure, dry and level platform. Since the larger the flake size the
slower it will be to evaporate, Chart 2 recommends Rotary Switch or Remote settings to minimize
residue on the ground. For safety reasons, the SNOW STORM should be unplugged from the
electrical outlet while placing it in your desired location. The Nozzle should be pointed in the
direction you want it to spray snow. Hang or route the 30 ft. tethered remote as required to the
desired operating location without pinching the wire. Do not operate the SNOW STORM in
the rain. The SNOW STORM is not waterproof. If it gets wet, unplug the snow
machine and contact “Global Special Effects™” technical support at 1-256-229-
5551.

2)
If the snow solution is a concentrate, prepare the snow solution in the empty plastic gallon bottle
provided (located in the SNOW STORM solution bottle well) per the “Solution Mixture” section of
this manual (See Chart 1). If the correct water/concentrate mix is not blended properly, the SNOW
STORM may not create the ideal evaporative snowflakes. Place the clear tube in the container with
the “Solution Mixture” and push it down so that the open end reaches the bottom of the filled
container. The pump in the SNOW STORM is self-priming.
3) In order to start the SNOW STORM, plug the Snow Machine power cord into an outlet with a

switch “ON” in the back of the SNOW STORM. If you are using the DMX features, read the section
on DMX settings to get the proper response. If you are using the remote, set the DMX display on the
back
of the SNOW STORM unit to any number between 900-999. Press the “ON” switch on the tethered
remote to start the snowfall. Adjust the dial on the remote to set the desired snowflake size (See
Chart 2). Rotate the dial clockwise to obtain larger flakes and counterclockwise for smaller flakes. If
the flakes are sticking to the ground during an initial run, adjust the dial counterclockwise, after
drying off the ground surface (snowflakes accumulate more easily on a wet surface). Press “OFF” to
turn off the snow on the tethered remote. Do not operate the SNOW STORM without the
clear tube submerged in the filled solution container.
4)
If the solution has drained out of the clear tube during a rest period for
the SNOW STORM, it may take a minute or two for the pump to selfprime itself from the solution container liquid.
5)
On the tethered remote, a blinking light signifies that the Power is “ON”.
A constant light from the LED signifies that the SNOW STORM is
blowing evaporative snow. If the light on the remote is completely off,
the unit is not powered up and cannot be controlled from the remote.
6)
To turn the power OFF, push down on the red “O” button on the back of the unit.
DMX Settings SNOW STORM

Using the Controller
Snow Machine Controller
The snow machine controller consists of one fan relay, a pump controller and control interface capable
of receiving a DMX signal or a proprietary remote control signal. The DMX address is set via a three digit
rotary switch located on the back of the device. The DMX address is set in a decimal fashion.

DMX Mode Channel Level
The DMX interface is compliant with DMX-512
standards and electrically isolated to 1000VAC. The
starting address can be set from 1 to 509. The DMX
protocol requires 4 dimmers defined as Mode, Cycle
Time, Duration and Flake Size. The Mode dimmer
defines the overall operation of the snow machine
- Off, On, and Momentary. The Mode dimmer will
correspond to the selected start address, with the Cycle
Time, Duration, and Flake Size channels in the following
When the mode channel is set to one of the Momentary
positions (either 5 or 15 min cycle), the Cycle Time and
Duration channels become active. The cycle time channel
establishes the time it takes for the entire event. Duration
channel is the length of time of snow output. The minimum
time of one cycle is 18 seconds with a ten second ON
time, a four second SNEEZE, and a four second WAIT. A
sneeze is when the blower remains on without the pump
and dries the sock, preventing postnasal drip.
The following tables show all the settings that can be attained with the use of the three digit rotary
switch located on the back of the device. An ‘X’ indicates that the number in that position does not
matter for the required result to be attained. Switch A is in the hundreds position, Switch B is in the
tens position, and Switch C is in the ones position.

utilizes standard pins 4 and 5 of the 5 pin
XLR connector to supply power to the remote
control. Pins 4 and 5 are pass through when
used in a DMX configuration. Pins 4 and 5
have power applied to them only when the
DMX selector is set to the 900s and this power
is used to power the remote.
Remote Control
NOT INCLUDED, SOLD SEPARATELY
The remote control provides a tethered remote control connection to the snow machine. The 3
rotary switches must be at 900 or greater for remote function to be enabled. The remote has control
over the on/off and flake size functions. The flake size knob provides variable settings from small (0)
to large (5) flakes. There is also a status LED to inform the user that the unit is on and powered.
When the unit is powered and the power switch on the remote is set to the off position, the red LED
on the remote will slowly pulse to inform the user that the unit is in standby. When the user changes
the switch to on, the LED will go to a solid red.

If the SNOW STORM does not generate snow, review the following checklist.
a)
When turned “ON”, is the Fan Operating? (Air is shooting out the nozzle of the SNOW STORM).
Yes:
Move on to (b)
No: Check the electric plug interface at the outlet connection, and make sure the remote connector
is connected to the main unit. Check to see if the power switch is “ON” on the main unit. A red
LED light should be illuminated on the back of the SNOW STORM when power is “ON”. Make
sure that the DMX settings meet your desired criteria (see the DMX section of this manual-the
unit should always be operating with settings between 880-899). Also, the LED light on the
remote should be illuminated (blinking) if the main power is “ON” and the DMX setting is in the
900s. A constant light will illuminate on the remote if snow is being generated. If the lights are
not illuminated, call customer service at 256-229-5551 or the 24 hr tech line at 256-229-5551

What is Evaporative Snow
™
Incorporating Evaporative Snow™ In Your Production Design
Global Special Effects is a pioneer of the “evaporative snow” process. In order to help you
incorporate “evaporative snow” in your production design, we are providing you the following
explanation as to exactly what it is and how a snow machine works.
The “snow flake”
machine. A small plastic feed tube takes the fluid from the reservoir to a small nylon sock at the
front of the machine by means of a pump. The sock is mounted to the front end of a high output
blower. The sock material is a very fine mesh weave and acts like hundreds of very tiny bubble
wands, producing clusters of bubbles appearing as “flakes”. The “flake” size varies according to the
speed of the pump, and the amount of fluid reaching the sock. More fluid results in more and larger
clusters of bubbles or “flakes”.
The “flake” size is the key to making any evaporative snow truly evaporative and residue
free. Ideally you want to set the flake size so that the snow evaporates just as the snow hits the
ground. Imagine for a moment blowing a traditional soap and water bubble with a bubble wand.
The air pressure in the bubble is greater than the surrounding air pressure, and keeps the bubble
inflated, much like a latex balloon. As air currents keep it aloft, it will remain intact until enough
water evaporates from it’s surface, the thinned film can no longer maintain surface cohesion and
the bubble’s internal air pressure causes it to burst. Evaporative snow fluid contains an advanced
evaporative solution to make the “flakes” disintegrate more rapidly. The combination of air
pressure and solution mixture produces a very esthetically pleasing, moderate snow fall. While
you can certainly create a blizzard effect with these machines, additional safety precautions must
be considered, as the snow will build up on the floor or stage, resulting in a slippery surface.
Air flow and evaporative snow
“cone” of snow which is smallest near the machine and disperses as you get farther away creating a
“curtain effect” (see the Overhead View diagram next page). You can increase the overall effected
area through the use of judiciously placed fans, both near the machine and on the ground. Fans
near the machine (some larger machines have these incorporated into their design) will help disperse
the snow into a larger area. Fans on the ground will also help with dispersion, as well as provide
beautiful updrafts and swirls. Often these machines are used in ballrooms for holiday parties and
occasionally in arenas. The key to coverage in a larger venue (or when you want to make it snow on
the audience at a theatre) is not determined as much by the number of machines as it is by the air
handler’s circulation in the room itself. Air handlers in arenas and many modern ballroom facilities
are designed to re-circulate thousands of cubic feet of air per minute. Experiment with air handler’s
currents to circulate snow around the venue. Staggering the placement and alternating the direction
of the snow machines so that the edges of the air streams from the machines interact in opposing
directions is another technique for creating a swirling effect.
Back lighting and to some extent side lighting is vital to the audience’s visual experience.
If lit from the front only, the effect’s visibility will be poor at best. Lighting can be especially
challenging in a ballroom or other “total environment” setting or venue, when your audience will be
viewing the snow from multiple angles and positions. Ideally you want your lighting to come from
above, yet below the snow machines. Obscuring the snow machines in the dark above the light
sources allows the snow to capture light, adding a sense of wonder to your event.
Noise reduction is another factor
extent it can be covered with music. Global Special Effects engineers have developed the quietest snow
machines using better sound insulation, and quieter blowers such as the T-1600 Snow Machines series.

Control Format for all DMX Snow Machines
Addressing
DMX starting address is manually programmed via thumb dial switches. Valid starting addresses are 001-512. The
Snow Machines utilize four channels.
The first channel has four settings:
0-63 Snow Machine is "off"
64-127 Allows for a 0 to 5 minute cycle time based on the settings of the 2nd channel
(This setting turns on the short internal timer circuit)
128-191 Allows for a 0 to 15 minute cycle time based on the settings of the 2nd channel
(This setting turn on the long internal timer circuit)
192-255 Snow Machine is set to "on"
The second channel: **
When Channel 1 is set from 64-127 then the second channel sets the overall duration of cycle time
anywhere from zero (0) to five minutes (255).
When Channel 1 is set from 128-191 then the second channel sets the overall duration of cycle time
anywhere from zero minutes (0) to 15 minutes (255).
The third channel: **
Sets the % of "on time" during the duration set by the second channel. This value is a range from 0(0) to
100%(255)
The fourth channel:
Sets the amount of snow output from minimum output (1) to 100%(255). This channel is effective anytime
the machine is “on”
**During all timer-controlled modes, internal limits enforce a minimum on time of at least 10seconds and a
minimum off time of at least four seconds.
