Introduction

The features the “HI-MASS” vaporizing system. This consists of a twin
coil system, each supplied with fluid from a high pressure oscillating piston
pump. This guarantees the maximum output from this size of vaporizing system.
Most smoke machines have one vaporizing coil and one pump, the has
two of each. JEM has also used the best possible overheat protection using our
“DTP” safety device. This was first used on the JEM with great
success and we have incorporated it on the . There is also a 9.5 (2.5
US gallons) fluid container to minimize the need to keep refilling.

To allow easy integration with a lighting control system, the comes with
DMX 512 as standard. This uses a single Channel and controls the output from a
light haze to maximum output. The also includes a well featured controller,
enabling the user to operate the machine under manual, control or via the timer
settings. The timer has a new feature called x8 mode that allows the timer values
to be multiplied by 8.

The can be installed using the flying kit supplied with the machine.
This consists of a heavy duty flying bracket, and an optional drip pad available
as an accessory. Once installed, DMX 512 can be used to control
the output.
A ducting kit is available for applications where the effect is needed in an area
away from the

ZR33 Ducting Kit

Ducting adaptor

Jubilee clip

Ducting pipe

The JEM ZR33 ducting kit enables the user to duct the smoke from the
machine to an area where the effect is required. This is done by using the JEM
ducting adaptor and a length of 100 mm (4“) ducting pipe. The length can be
anything from a couple of metres up to 20 metres or further. There are one or
two things to beware of when using smoke machines with ducting, firstly if there
are bends to redirect the smoke they could cause condensation to form also an
air space must be provided between the output of the machine and the ducting
adaptor.

NOTE! Always use the recommended ducting adaptor and ducting

pipe, others may cause damage to the machine.

ZR33 Flying Kit

The ZR33 flying kit enables the machine to be fixed to rigging and ceilings for use
where the ZR33 is best situated in a flying position. The kit is supplied as standard with
the option of a drip pad for catching unwanted drips that can occur when smoke
machines are angled down.

NOTE! Always follow instructions when installing smoke machines. A safety
strap must be fixed from the rigging to the handle to ensure maximum safety..

Always use a JEM approved fluid, other fluids could be dangerous and could
cause damage to the machine.

Always check the voltage is correct for use with the machine, the voltage
setting is printed on the serial label.

Always read the user guide before operating the machine, smoke machines
need to be operated carefully to avoid risk.

Never touch the nozzle at the front of the machine, the nozzle can stay hot for
up to 10 hours.

Do not remove the cover or attempt to repair a faulty machine, an authorized
JEM dealer should be contacted in the event of a faulty machine.

Always use smoke machines in well ventilated areas, over use could affect
sufferers of asthma or other chest conditions.

Do not use the machine if there is a faulty mains lead or plug this could be
dangerous.

Never point the output directly at peoples heads, this is a high powered
smoke machine.

Always use approved accessories with this machine.

Do not spill fluid over the machine, if fluid is spilt clean with clean water and
contact an approved JEM dealer for advice.

Using The Slave Socket

The has the ability to connect machines together using a XLR lead and
then operating all of the machines with one controller. This is ideal when there
is a need for lots of smoke and there is no DMX to operate the machines.
Simply remove the controllers from all but one of the machines and then connect
an XLR lead (3 pin) from the slave socket of the first machine (the one with the
controller) to the next machine’s remote socket, and then from that machine’s
slave to the next machine’s remote socket. This can be done from two up to ten
machines maximum. All of the machines will operate with the same output and
timer settings as the first machine.

ZR33-DMX USER GUIDE

Using DMX 512

Within the lighting industry, the DMX communication protocol is widely used for
remote control of lighting and other equipment. The is fitted with a DMX 512
compliant interface as standard, giving the user the possibility of controlling the smoke
and light from a single source. The uses a single channel to fire and control the
output level; the interface can be addressed from channel 1 to channel 512. The
address is set using the 10 way dip switch at the rear of the machine. To address the
channel, convert the channel number to binary and set this number on the switches (on
is down). There are some samples of different channel settings below.

The is fitted with two XLR sockets, one is for DMX IN & one is for DMX
OUT, enabling the to be used in a chain. When there is valid DMX, i.e. the XLR
is connected and the desk is powered, the small green LED will light. However, if there
is no address set, the LED will not light and DMX will be disabled. If an address is set
and DMX is present the machine will automatically start to heat up and after 10 - 12
minutes you will be able to operate the machine using DMX. Increasing the DMX level
will increase the smoke output level.

Getting Started

•

Once you have selected the best position for the you can begin to use
the machine. Check that the mains power supply matches the voltage and
frequency on the serial number label. If not, contact your JEM dealer for
advice.
Now set the mains switch, at the rear of the machine, to the ‘ON’ position
and press the grey “stand-by” button.
Allow around 10 -12 minutes for the machine to reach operating temperature
While it heats up you should check the level in the fluid container, the
container can hold up to 9.5 litres of fluid.

NOTE! Do not allow the to run out of fluid. Serious damage may
occur if the machine is operated when no fluid is connected.

When the machine has reached working temperature the green “ready” LED
will light on the rear of the machine and the machine can now be operated.
Check the “output” knob is turned fully clockwise (maximum) then press and
hold the red “fog” button. The fluid pumps will start operating; if the
machine has a new container of fluid it will take a few seconds for the pumps
to prime.
When the pump has primed smoke will be visible. The output can now be set
to the desired level by turning the “output” knob. The timer may be activated
or you can simply use the “fog” button when smoke is required, Alternately
you may wish to use DMX to operate the .
For further information on using the controller and DMX see the relevant
pages in this user guide.

When you have finished using the machine you should use the “stand-by”
button to turn off the heaters and then turn the mains switch off. If any
problems occur when operating the please refer to the trouble
shooting guide..

machine automatically. When the “ready” LED is lit at the rear of the
machine the remote becomes functional and the “fog” button will operate
the machine when pressed. Sometimes a pre-determined amount of smoke is
needed and the remote has a timer that will operate over a wide
range or varying times. The x8 timer value gives even greater flexibility
when a longer delay and run time are needed.
