Product overview

Product description

The Glaciator Dynamic is a low-fog machine designed for a variety of applications such as performance based art, in touring and fixed installations. It can be easily integrated with most control systems currently used in the entertainment industry such as DMX with full RDM capability for remote setup and status monitoring. Additionally the integrated digital remote control can be operated on the machine or removed and used at a distance for quick and easy deployment.

The low-fog effect is attained by cooling the fog output from the heat exchanger until it is at a temperature lower than the ambient in which the machine is operating. Air is added to the fog, prior to cooling, from the integrated fan in the effect carburetor. This increases the volume of the fog effect and allows the lowfog to be propelled through the low-fog outlet. A fluid reservoir with 5 l capacity is provided for low-fog fluid. To allow reliable unattended operation, the fluid level is monitored electronically, and the device shut down if necessary. Waste condensation is pumped into a separate 0.5 l reservoir for convenient disposal on the top of the machine.

Optional accessories are available from Martin which provide enhanced solutions for low-fog creation such as the Ducting Kit, Fog Blade, External Fluid Reservoir Kit and Softcover for protection in transit. Detailed information about these value added accessories can be found in this manual under Accessories on page 30.

DANGER! DO NOT operate the machine until you have read and observed all the precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 4.

Location

The machine is designed to be operated in a dry location on the floor and should be kept in horizontal orientation. The maximum deviation from horizontal is 2°.

Ensure the machine has at least 60 cm (24 in.) clearance all-round and at least 60cm (24 inches) away from combustible and heat-sensitive materials. Ensure the same distance from the fog output if ducted.

AC power

Before using the machine, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug that matches the local power receptacle is installed on the power cable provided.

This machine has a high earth leakage current and must only be operated from supplies with ground fault detection set at 30 mA. Only use an industrial receptacle/plug combination that reliably ensures earth connectivity before line connection. For example plugs and sockets conforming to any of the following:IEC 60309-1 IEC 60309-2 UL 1682/1686 CSA C22.2

For operating from supplies in the range 208 to 250

, a minimum rated

supply capacity of 20 A is required.

When installing the plug to the machine’s mains cable, follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect pins as follows: Yellow and green wire to ground (earth), blue wire to neutral and brown wire to live.

The table below shows some common pin identification schemes.

wire function marking screw colour

brown live “L” yellow or brass

blue neutral “N” silver

green/yellow earth

Before connecting the machine to power, verify that the AC supply is adequately dimensioned for the current draw of the machine.

Check that the local AC voltage is appropriate, as indicated on the machine’s serial number label. If your AC voltage is outside the appropriate range, do not use the machine. Contact Martin Service and Support for assistance.

Setting up

Fill the low-fog fluid reservoir with a suitable Martin JEM low-fog fluid as shown on page 20. If DMX control is being used, connect the machine to the DMX line (see page 17).

Final checks

Before applying power to the machine, verify the following:

• the machine is safely located or installed and meets the location

requirements stated on page 10

• the operator is familiar with, and able to comply with, the requirements

for safe operation listed on page 4.

• the fluid is one of the genuine Martin JEM low-fog fluids listed under

“Fluid options” on page 20.

• the machine is electrically grounded (earthed)

• the AC power distribution circuits and lines are adequately rated for the

current load

Turning on the power

Ensure the mains circuit breaker on the rear of the unit is set to the ‘ON’ (I) position. The display will show HEAT and the heating and cooling systems will both start. If the display shows OFF, press the FOG button on the control panel or set the RUN MODE to CONTINUOUS. After about 6-8 minutes if no DMX is connected the display should show FOG LEVEL (along with the set output level) and the machine will begin producing fog. If DMX is connected the display will show DMX when the machine is ready.

• The machine will remember its state from when it was turned off last

time, so it will only power up in OFF mode if you have previously disabled the heaters.

To obtain optimaloutput, wait another few minutes after the READ

indication is shown, as the machine continues to heat and cool to full operating temperature and low-fog output is reduced while the unit is heating up.

If the machine is restarted after a short off period (less than 5 minutes), the cooling system will need 5 minutes or more to reach a temperature at which low-fog can be produced again.

Control settings

Fast Access Keypad

On the rear of the machine, fast access keys are provided to rapidly set the operating mode and parameters of the machine.

The Prime button activates Priming mode.

The large round button activates the low-fog output when the system is in a Ready state.

The 25-50-100 buttons enable low-fog output at 25%, 50% or 100% output.

The power button switches the unit between STANDBY (On) and OFF operational modes. To enter OFF mode, hold the power button down for 5-seconds. Selecting OFF will disable the heaters and cooling system on the unit engaging the shutdown procedure of the machine for 160-seconds. During this period the waste condensate pump will move condensate fluid from the sump in the low-fog outlet into the waste condensate reservoir. Empty the waste condensate reservoir for travel and storage. Repeat if necessary until no more fluid is pumped.

Empty the waste condensate reservoir prior to engaging the OFF shutdown procedure. It is possible for the shutdown procedure to produce condensate that could overfill the reservoir if it is already near capacity.

The current machine status can always be viewed on the integrated digital remote control on the left-hand side of the machine.

Integrated Digital Remote Control

The integrated digital remote control on the side of the machine allows you to configure all settings using option menus.

DMX control

Overview

DMX is a digital control language widely used in entertainment and architectural lighting. Any DMX controller meeting the DMX-512A standard may be used to control the machine. A controller that is RDM compliant will be able to program and monitor some settings of the machine remotely.

When a DMX signal is present, the machine

’ss

tand-alone functions do not work. To control the machine locally the DMX controller must be powered off or disconnected.

If the DMX signal is removed (controller turned off or unplugged), the machine will revert to its previously stored RUN MODE settings.

If the machine was set to OFF it will revert to this state. If the machine was set to STANDBY it will revert to this state. If the machine was set to TIMER it will revert to this state. If the machine was set to CONTINUOUS it will revert to this state.

Connection

The machine provides 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors on the side of the machine for DMX connection. For best results, use cable designed for highspeed digital data transmission.

Do not utilize the DMX output connections as a splitter. Do not connect DMX cables to both the 3- and 5-pin DMX outputs at the same time as this will form a branch in the DMX wiring which may cause data errors.

DMX functions

The DMX start address must match the DMX start address assigned to the Glaciator on your controller. To set the address, see “Setting the DMX personality and start address” on page 14. The machine has two DMX personalities, requiring one or two DMX channels. The mode is set using the two RECEIVE options in the LINK menu.

When the machine is at running temperature and is under DMX control it displays DMX (+ the current DMX base address).

To activate a control function, the DMX value must be held in the correct range for 5 seconds.

Setting options by RDM

You can remotely configure the fixture over DMX using RDM. Martin offers a range of suitable RDM-compatible controllers.

A full list of the RDM functions that the machine supports is given at the end of this section. These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.

Scanning for RDM devices on the data link Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan command (also called a device discovery command) to all the devices on the data link so that the RDM controller can identify them. It does this by retrieving each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This process can take some time depending on the number of devices on the link. To identify the fixtures on the link:

1. Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on

the data link and that power is applied to all fixtures.

2. Give the controller time to identify the devices on the link and prepare

for communication with the devices.

Getting status and setting options by RDM The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by RDM.

You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only, or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM command to all the devices on the link. For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an individual fixture.

RDM functions As a minimum, the fixture supports the following RDM functions:

JEM Glaciator Dynamic, Ducting Kit: P/N 92625020

The Glaciator Ducting Kit is a 3-way low-fog diverter kit that handily affixes to the low-fog outlet of the Glaciator. The included ducting adaptor is made of steel and finished in a matte black powder coating. The Ducting Kit includes three 150 mm (6 in.) x 5 m (16.4 ft.) flexible ducting hoses and allows the Glaciator to be located off-stage and for low-fog to be transported to the performance area and evenly distributed. If desired, individual outlet ports on the adaptor can be sealed off and low-fog can be ducted to any or all three of the ports, up to a maximum distance of 10 m (32.8 ft.). The optional Fog Blade system (available separately) can be employed for even more control and dispersion of the low-fog effect.

JEM Glaciator Dynamic, Fog Blade: P/N 92625025

The Fog Blade is an extension of the Glaciator Ducting Kit, allowing covert precision low-fog to be channelled via a single 6” ducting hose discreetly under stage sets and drapery, hung overhead, or affixed under a floor. The Fog Blade is made of lightweight aluminium and powder coated in a matte black finish. The shallow, angled, industrial design and diverter panels ensure smooth, uniform low-fog output. The Fog Blade has rubberized, non-slip feet to protect delicate surfaces and a convenient carrying handle for ease of quick placement during scene changes. Additional hanging points are integrated to allow for overhead use of the Fog Blade to create dramatic waterfall type effects from up to 10 m. Up to three Fog Blades can be used with one JEM Glaciator Dynamic equipped with a Glaciator Ducting Kit.

JEM External Fluid Reservoir Kit, 25l: P/N 92620035

The External Fluid Reservoir Kit, when employed with the JEM Glaciator Dynamic, can be used for two applications. The first as an extended low-fog fluid source, expanding fluid capacity from 5 l to 25 l externally and providing extended runtime of the machine with less frequent fill-ups or when the machine is not readily accessible. The second as an extended reservoir for waste water condensate from 0.5 l to 25 l. The Fluid Reservoir Kit is a sealed 25 l reservoir with 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) of 8 mm flexible silicone tubing that easily connects to the existing barbed standpipes on the Glaciator Dynamic and other JEM products and features quick-connect fittings on the cap for fast and easy filling or draining.

JEM Glaciator Dynamic, Softcover: P/N 92625030

The Glaciator Softcover is a custom protective cover for the JEM Glaciator Dynamic constructed of reinforced heavy duty black PVC, 12 mm internal padding and finished internally with brushed nylon. The Softcover is screen printed with the product name and features a clear PAL placard pocket. The softcover features a convenient hook and loop fastener system for easy deployment and will protect the Glaciator from the rigors of transit in the touring industry. A bump-out compartment allows the optional ducting adapter to remain affixed to the machine and remain protected during transit.

Approved Low-Fog fluid types and usage

The Glaciator Dynamic may only be used with the genuine Martin JEM low-fog fluids listed below. Martin supplies premium quality low-fog fluids that are based on ultra-pure deionized water. No other fluid is suitable for use and such use will void the warranty.

Use fluid directly from container, do not dilute. Remove cap and safety seal; if inner safety seal has been tampered with, return product to point of purchase. Disconnect machine from power source before filling reservoir. When possible, remove reservoir from machine and carefully fill reservoir to desired level, taking care not to overfill or spill. Wipe up any spilled fluid with a damp cloth. Replace cap on container and store upright in a secure location.

JEM Low-Fog Fluid, Quick Dissipating

JEM Low-Fog Fluid, Quick Dissipating is a water-based fog formula specially designed for use in the JEM Glaciator. JEM Low-Fog Fluid, Quick Dissipating produces a dense pure-white ground-hugging effect, which will disperse and evaporate before any visible rising and heat exchanging. This light-density fluid formula has a faster dispersion rate and is less dense than the benchmark JEM Low-Fog Fluid. JEM Low-Fog Fluid, Quick Dissipating combines a low density and reduced hang time for the precision of performance based art in clubs, theatres and touring applications in addition to fixed installations and special effects design.

JEM Low-Fog Fluid

JEM Low-Fog Fluid is the industry standard water-based low-fog formula specially designed for use in the JEM Glaciator. This benchmark fluid is the automatic choice of most users and is the most specified low-fog fluid on the market. JEM Low-Fog Fluid produces a dense, pure-white ground-hugging effect which will disperse and evaporate before any visible rising and heat exchanging; which is ideal for dramatic scenes involving moving stage activity such as dance. JEM Low-Fog Fluid combines a typical density and hang time for the precision of performance based art in clubs, theatres and touring applications in addition to fixed installations and special effects design.

JEM Low-Fog Fluid, High Density

JEMTM Low-Fog Fluid, High Density is a water-based low-fog formula specially designed for use in the JEM Glaciator. JEM Low-Fog Fluid, High Density produces a dense pure-white ground-hugging effect which will disperse and evaporate before any visible rising and heat exchanging. A longer lasting, higher density low-fog is sometimes required for a more controlled environment and with its longer hang time, JEM Low-Fog Fluid High Density is well suited for ‘waterfall’ and ‘curtain’ type effects or for obscuring scenery and performers in low-lying clouds. JEM Low-Fog Fluid High Density combines a high density and long hang time effect for the precision of performance based art in clubs, theatres and touring applications in addition to fixed installations and special effects designs.

DANGER! The Glaciator Dynamic can run safely only on the specific low-fog fluids aforementioned. Use ONLY genuine Martin JEM Low-fog fluids designated in this manual. NEVER use any other type of fluid. Toxic gas may be produced and damage to the machine that will invalidate the product warranty will result. Do not dilute low-fog fluid with water or any other liquid. Discard fluid if it becomes contaminated.

Maintenance

Before servicing the machine, read and observe all the precautions listed in “Safety information” on page 4. Any service not described in this section must be carried out by a qualified Martin service technician.

To find your local Martin Service Center visit http://www.martin.com/contactsupport or contact your dealer / distributor.

Fluid replacement

When the fluid level gets low, replace or refill the fluid reservoir in the rear of the machine, ensuring that the fluid tube reaches to the bottom of the bottle.

Whenever you refill the fluid you should also empty the condensate collection bottle (see section below).

If machine had run out of fluid, you may need to activate the Prime function using the button on the rear of the machine to eliminate airlocks from the internal pipework. It may be necessary to activate the Prime function twice to fully fill the fluid lines, or more times if a remote fluid supply is used. The fluid pressure sensor will automatically stop the priming when the machine is operational.

Cleaning using Martin® Pro-Clean & Storage Fluid

Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance Procedure: Use Martin Pro Clean and Storage Fluid after every 200 hours of operation or monthly depending on usage and duty cycle.

In a well ventilated area temporarily connect Martin Pro Clean and Storage Fluid to the effect machine being serviced or fill the machine’s provided fluid reservoir. Allow the machine to fully heat. When machine is ready activate the machine to run continuously for 30-45 minutes; using a timer function if available. When completed, replace cleaning fluid with appropriate low-fog fluid.

Storage Procedure: Perform the above cleaning and preventative maintenance procedure. After procedure is completed simply run the machine until all fluid has been visibly purged from the fluid inlet tubing to prevent leaks and seepage.

Waste Condensate collection

As the fog is cooled, condensation will form inside the machine. This condensate is pumped into a 0.5 l reservoir at the front left corner of the machine during normal operation every 2-minutes and when the machine is turned OFF. You should regularly check the level in this reservoir using the illuminated sight gauge on the front of the machine, and empty the reservoir if it becomes full. Normally if you empty the reservoir every time you refill the low-fog fluid, this will be sufficient.

Maintenance

The condensate collected in the reservoir cannot be re-used. Dispose of it responsibly.

Whenever you replace or fill the low-fog fluid reservoir, always empty the condensate reservoir at the same time. The condensate reservoir should have enough capacity for the condensate generated from a 5 l container of fluid used at 50% output level. If you are installing the machine or running for long periods, consider using the optional “External Fluid Kit” which increases the reservoir capacity to 25 l.

The condensate pumping time of 2 minutes can be adjusted by a Martin Service Center, if your local conditions require it.

Exterior cleaning

Excessive dust, effects fluid, and dirt build-up will degrade performance and cause overheating and damage to the machine that is not covered by the product warranty. To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the outer casing and air vents of the machine periodically.

Isolate the machine from power and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Internal parts remain hot for a period after use.

• Remove dust from the air vents with a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum,

or compressed air.

• Clean effects fluid residues from the low-fog output of the machine using

a damp cloth.

• Clean the outer casing with a damp cloth only.

Filter replacement

The machine uses a washable synthetic fiber filter in the intake for the condenser fans. The filter is located in the top plate of the machine and can be removed for cleaning or replacement by removing the top cover, held in place with 6x Pozidriv #2 screws (M5).

To clean the filter, simply wash with warm water and a mild detergent, and allow to air dry. Filter replacement part: 56210056 - Condenser filter, Dynamic.

Filter

DANGER! Disconnect the power supply before removing any covers. Live parts will be exposed when removing the top cover!

• Under normal conditions (clean and dry environment) inspect and

clean/replace the filter every 250 hours of operation

• Under severe conditions (dirty and/or damp environment) inspect and

clean/replace the filter every 150 hours of operation

Fuse replacement

The machine uses a miniature Thermo-magnetic circuit breaker (MCB) on the rear panel as its primary means of over current protection. This is rated at 25 A, 240V max., 50/60Hz to allow for the inrush and starting currents generated by the cooling system compressor. Any severe over current event will be disconnected by the MCB.

If the machine repeatedly trips, there is an internal fault, and the machine must be examined by a suitably qualified Martin service technician.

All internal circuits are protected individually by fuses in various locations within the wiring and control electronics. If any of these fuses blow, the machine should be investigated by a suitably qualified Martin service technician.

DANGER! Disconnect the power supply before removing any covers or changing fuses. Live parts inside!
