NTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting a Jem AF series fan.

The AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ fans are powerful machines designed for professional and semi-professional use in clubs, TV studios, theaters and touring contexts. They are suitable for a wide range of applications including smoke and haze dispersal, sending smoke through ducting, wind effects and cooling performers or equipment. When fans are used at high output in conjunction with a smoke machine at low output, a perfect haze effect can be produced.

Both fans have high quality sealed motors designed to withstand the high condensation levels associated with close proximity smoke

AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ fans can be controlled using the remote control unit supplied with each product or via DMX on a serial data link. They may be interfaced with all Martin and Jem smoke machines to allow simultaneous smoke and fan operation.

When used in combination with smoke machines, etc., DMX control allows atmospheric effects to be integrated in the light show directly from the lighting console. The remote control allows variable fan speed in continuous or timer operation. When using the built-in timer, operating periods and intervals between operating periods can be set independently.

AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ fans can be installed at any angle.

The most recent version of this manual is available under Smoke in the Support area of the Martin website at: http://www.martin.com

Features

• DMX control.

• Remote control unit with instant or timer-controlled operation.

• Variable fan speed.

• Adjustable flying bracket with installation at any angle

• Can be flown or placed on a flat surface

• Rugged construction.

• Sealed high-quality maintenance-free fan motor offers high airflow, high resistance to condensation, ingress of dirt, smoke fluid, etc. and low noise.

Safety information

Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to electric shock, falls and fast-moving blades.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

Read this manual before powering or installing the fan, follow the safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the machine. Save this manual for future reference. If you have questions about how to operate the system safely, please contact your Martin supplier or call the Martin 24-hour service hotline on +45 8740 0000, or in the USA on 1-888-tech-180.

Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.

Preventing electric shocks

• Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.

• Check the AC supply voltage is correct for use with the machine. The voltage setting is printed on the machine’s serial label.

• Disconnect the machine from power before removing any components or servicing, and when not in use.

• Moisture can cause dangerous electrical faults. Do not aim fog output at electrical connections or devices.

• Do not expose this machine to wet conditions – the machine is not waterproof.

• Do not spill fluid over the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect the machine from power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic parts, contact an approved Martin™ dealer for advice.

• Do not dismantle or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer all service to an authorized Martin™ service dealer.

• Do not operate the machine if the power cable or connector is damaged. A damaged cable or connector must be replaced with a new item, available from your Martin™ dealer.

• Do not operate the machine with damaged, deformed or missing parts.

Preventing burns and fire

• Ensure that airflow around the machine is free and unobstructed.

Introduction 7

• Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 55° C (131° F).

Preventing injuries

• Never allow any object or part of your body to enter the path of the fan blades, and ensure that clothing, cables or other items cannot be sucked into the fan. Position the fan well out of reach of members of the public.

• Disconnect the fan from power before removing any cover or grill. Do not operate the fan unless all covers and grills are installed and securely fastened.

• Ensure that the supporting structure or surface can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.

• Use an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable.

• Work from a stable platform and block access below the work area when installing, servicing or removing the machine.

NSTALLATION

This product must be installed by qualified personnel only.

AC power

AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ fans are available in two models:

• US model: 115 V, 50/60 Hz (for use with 100-120 VAC, 60 Hz power supplies) with integral power cord

• EU model: 230 V, 50/60 Hz (for use with 220-240 VAC, 50 Hz power supplies) with separate power cable connected via an IEC socket

The product’s voltage range is indicated on its serial number label. Do not operate the product at any other voltage.

Warning! For protection from fire and electric shock, AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™

fans must be grounded (earthed). The power supply must have overload and ground-fault protection.

Check that power cables are undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices before use.

Installing a mains plug on the power cable

On EU (230 V, 50/60 Hz) models, the power cable must be fitted with an earthed mains plug (grounding-type cord cap) that fits your power distribution system. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.

Physical installation

AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ fans may be suspended from a suitable support such as a truss, placed on a horizontal surface or fastened to a surface using the bracket provided. Both fans can be installed at any angle.

The AF-2™ fan may be installed in a touring frame available as an accessory and either suspended from a suitable support such as a truss or placed on a horizontal surface resting on the touring frame's rubber feet.

Warning! The slight vibration of the fan may cause fasteners to loosen. Check

all fasteners regularly for tightness, especially when the machine is newly installed.

Position AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ fans well out of reach of the public.

Suspending from a support

Warning! Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform

when installing, servicing or removing the machine.

Use a secure secondary attachment that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the machine.

Rigging clamps, omega brackets and fasteners are available as accessories from your Martin™ dealer. Any quarter-turn fasteners used must be turned a full 90° clockwise to lock them (see illustration on right).

1. Check that any structure used to support the machine can support at least 10 times the total weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.
