Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks
of injury due to electric shock, burns, falls and respiratory
problems!
Read this manual before operating the machine, follow the safety precautions
listed below, and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the
machine. Use the system only as described in this manual and in accordance
with local laws and regulations.
If you have questions about how to operate the machine safely, or if you have
followed the instructions in this manual and the machine is malfunctioning,
please contact Martin Service.
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.
• Before connecting the haze machine to power, check that the voltage
indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power
voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the
machine. Contact Martin Service for assistance.
• Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.
• If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,
defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine and
contact Martin Service for assistance. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
• Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not
in use.
• This system is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet outdoor
conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not expose to
high-pressure water jets.
• Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect
AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic
parts, take the system out of service and contact Martin for advice.
Safety information 5
• Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer any
service not described in this manual to Martin.
• Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
• Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim haze output at electrical
connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
• The haze produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it
leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally.
Keep people and objects at least 60cm (24 inches) away from the haze
output nozzle.
• Do not touch the haze output nozzle during or after use – it becomes
extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.
• Haze output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point haze output at sources of
ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
• Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
• Provide a minimum free space of 100mm (4 inches) around the machine.
• Provide a minimum free space of 500mm (20 inches) around fans and air
vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the
machine.
• Keep the machine at least 60cm (24 inches) away from combustible and
heat-sensitive materials.
• Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
• Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
• Ensure that the surface on which the machine is located or installed can
safely hold the weight of the machine.
• Do not install the machine over areas where people are present.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
• Haze machines can cause condensation. Do not point the output at
smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these
frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.
• Ensure at least 2m visibility in areas where haze is being produced.
• Haze fluid contains food-grade glycols and glycerol in solution but may
present health risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye
contact occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and
obtain medical advice.
6 Safety information
Preventing breathing problems
• A haze machine can operate safely only with the haze fluid it is designed
for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Haze fluid options”
on page 20 or you may cause the release of toxic gases, presenting a
severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the machine.
• Do not create dense haze in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
• Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or
respiratory conditions such as asthma) to haze output.
• Do not point haze output directly at a person’s face or at face height.

Product overview
Product description
The Jem Ready 365™ is a versatile haze machine from Martin Professional
designed for the highly demanding professional market. Its ability to produce
exceptionally fine water-based atmospheric haze with long hang time makes it an
ideal choice for rental houses, shows, theatres, TV studios, clubs, bars, cruise
ships, theme parks and more, especially where the residue of oil-based hazers
presents an issue.
Robust and portable, the Jem Ready 365™ is capable of dispersing an even,
continuous haze with exceptional optical clarity and reflectivity, the perfect smallparticle haze for highlighting today’s highly defined light beams. A pressurised
gas propulsion system ensures smooth distribution while a unique mixing
channel allows the haze to optimize before being expelled.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Jem Ready 365™ from Martin. Details of
the full range of Martin products are available on our website at www.martin.com.

Quick Start 9
Quick Start
You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot of
haze. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time
to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual.
Setting up
Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the haze
output.
Fill the fluid tank with 3.8 litres of Martin R365 Haze Fluid™ only. Use of other
fluid will void the warranty.
Connect the gas line from the CO
2
cylinder using the push fit connector on the
rear panel. Connect the regulator to the cylinder ensuring the plastic washer on
the regulator is in place and tighten using a suitable spanner. Fully turn on the
gas valve at the cylinder. No gas adjustment is required to vary the output of the
machine. See page 11 for more information.
Connect a suitably rated power supply to the machine using the supplied Neutrik
Powercon cable. The power requirements are 3.1A @ 230V (EU model) or 6.2A
@ 120V (US model).
Now turn on the mains switch at the rear of the machine. The display will show
HEAT, then after about 5-6 minutes the machine will reach operating
temperature. If the display shows OFF, press the RUN button to the right of the
display.
Making haze
If the machine does not automatically start making haze, press the RUN quick
access button to the right of the display. Press RUN again to stop the haze.
If you want to change the haze density, press the Menu < > buttons until the
display shows HAZE, then press the Enter button and use the Value up/down
buttons to select a value above 0%.
You can also adjust the fan speed using the FAN menu.
If no haze is produced it may be necessary to prime the machine,
press the Menu <> buttons until the display shows PRME, then
press the Value Up button so the display shows Y, then press the
Enter button.
Switching off
The Ready 365 is designed to run a self-cleaning cycle after power down to help
prevent blockages. It uses an internal rechargeable battery to do this.
If cleaning is needed, when the power is disconnected the display will show
“WAIT”, then “WAIT 89” counting down to “WAIT 00” will scroll across the
display. The unit will then automatically power down.
If the unit is not to be used for some time, turn off the valve on the CO
2
cylinder.
