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.

• Rugged construction.
Introduction 5
• 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.
6 AF-1 MkII™ and AF-2™ user manual
• 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.
• 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 versions:
• US version: 115 V, 50/60 Hz (for use with 100-120 VAC, 60 Hz power
supplies)
• EU version: 230 V, 50/60 Hz (for use with 220-240 VAC, 50 Hz power
supplies)
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.

Following the mains plug manufacturer’s instructions, connect the power
cable’s green and yellow wire to ground (earth), blue wire to neutral and
brown wire to live. Table 1 shows some pin identification schemes.
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.
Always 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 quarter
turn clockwise to lock them (see illustration).
1. Verify 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.
2. Check that all rigging clamps and fasteners are undamaged and can
support at least 10 times the machine’s weight.
• AF-1 MkII fan: Bolt a rigging clamp to the machine’s flying bracket
using a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut, or as
recommended by the clamp manufacturer, through the 13 mm hole
in the center of the mounting bracket.
Installation 9
• AF-2 fan: Two rigging options exist. Either:
Martin standard omega
bracket: P/N 91602001
Martin 250-300 wide omega
bracket: P/N 91602000
a) Bolt two rigging clamps to two Martin standard omega brackets
(P/N 91602001) using grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolts and lock
nuts, or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer. Fasten the
two omega brackets to the flying bracket or touring frame. This
option allows the fan to be flown in line with or at 90° to a truss.
or:
b) Bolt one rigging clamp to one Martin 250-300 wide omega
bracket (P/N 91602000). Fasten the wide omega bracket to the
flying bracket or touring frame. This option allows the fan to be
flown at any angle relative to the truss.
3. Clamp the fan to a truss or similar support.
4. Loop a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the
machine through/over the support and through the flying bracket or
touring frame.
5. Loosen the swivel locks and tilt the fan to the desired angle. Turn the
swivel locks clockwise to tighten. Check that fan, hardware and safety
attachment are secure before applying power.
Placing on a horizontal surface
If an AF-1 MkII or AF-2 fan is to be placed on a horizontal surface:
• Ensure that the surface is level, stable and capable of supporting at
least ten times the weight of the machine.
• Secure the machine so that it cannot slide or fall, even if air pressure
during full speed operation and vibration are present.
• Eliminate any risk of accidental contact.
