Quick Start
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 reservoir with Martin approved haze fluid (see page 19). The fluid
compartment is opened by pulling outwards on the cover (pull using a finger in
the round hole).
Connect the machine to a suitably rated power source. The power requirements
are:
EU Models – 920 W, 220-240 V
US Models – 920 W, 100-130 V
Connect the remote control to the REMOTE IN connector on the rear panel.
Turn on the power switch. The red Heat indicator on the remote and the rear of
the unit will light. After about 6-8 minutes the green Ready indicator on the
remote and the rear of the unit will light. The machine is then ready to produce
haze. To obtain maximum haze output, wait another couple of minutes for the
Heat indicator to go out.
Making haze
Once the machine has heated up, press the FOG button on the remote to start
the haze output. The green ON light will come on. Press the FOG button again to
turn off the haze.
You can set the haze density by turning the knob. If the knob is turned fully
counter-clockwise, no haze will be produced.

The machine can operate in any orientation from 30° upwards to 30° downwards.
Steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage.
Do not suspend the machine over areas where people will be underneath.
Ensure that there is at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance around the machine and at
least 600 mm (24 in.) in front of the haze output.
AC power
Before using the machine, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug
that fits the local power outlets is installed on the power cable.
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated:
• For EU models fit with a plug rated at 6 A minimum.
• For US models fit with a plug rated at 10 A minimum.
When installing the plug, 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.

Control settings
Control settings
Overview
The unit is controlled using the remote control. You can control it in these ways:
Automatic Continuous run mode.
Automatic haze bursts using a repeating timer
You trigger a timed burst of haze using the “one-shot” timer
You can also set the haze output level using the knob.
Continuous Run Mode
Press the FOG button once (for less than one second) to enter continuous run
mode or timer mode. If the timer is set, the timer mode will run automatically,
otherwise continuous mode will be enabled and the machine will produce haze
until the button is pressed again. The green timer LED will light when in
continuous run mode.
Setting the Automatic Timer
The Automatic Timer allows you to set the machine to keep producing timed
bursts of haze without anyone having to press any buttons. You need to set two
times: the run/on time during which the machine will produce haze, and the
wait/off time during which the machine will idle.
1. Press the TIMER SET button. The ON light will flash. You are now
setting the On/Run time.

2. Turn the knob to the required “run” time, as shown on the outer scale of
the knob (OFF – 255 seconds).
3. Press the TIMER SET button once. The ON light will come on static and
the OFF light will flash. You are now setting the Off/Wait time.
4. Turn the knob to the required “wait” time.
5. Press the TIMER SET button once more. Both ON/OFF lights will come
on to show the timer is programmed.
The run and wait times are now stored and will be remembered even after the
unit has been switched off.
To start the timer using the times you’ve set, press the FOG / TIMER ENGAGE
button briefly. To turn off the timer, press the FOG / TIMER ENGAGE button
briefly again. When the timer is engaged, the ON light will come on during the
On/Run time and the OFF light will come on during the Off/Wait time.
If you only want to change the Off/Wait time, leaving the On/Run time
unchanged, press TIMER SET twice. This will take you directly to
setting the Off time without changing the On time.
To find out what the current time settings are, press TIMER SET then rotate the
knob slowly until the “ON” light begins to flash very rapidly. The knob is now set
to the current run/on time. Press TIMER SET once and rotate the knob slowly
again until the “OFF” light begins to flash very rapidly. The knob is now set to the
current wait/off time. Press TIMER SET again to get back to normal.
Se t tin g t h e “ o ne-s hot ” ti m er
The “one shot” timer allows you to pre-program the length of the haze burst. This
can be useful if you want to have a fixed-time burst of haze which you can repeat
at will by pressing the haze button.
1. Press the TIMER SET button. The ON light will flash. You are now
setting the On/Run time.
2. Turn the knob to the required “run” time, as shown on the outer scale of
the knob (OFF – 255 seconds).
3. Press the TIMER SET button once. The ON light will come on and the
OFF light will flash.
4. Turn the knob fully right to where “OS” (“One Shot”) is marked.
5. Press the TIMER SET button once more.
The timer is now programmed to one-shot mode and this will be remembered
even after the unit has been switched off.
To produce a timed burst of haze, press the FOG button briefly. To stop the
timed haze output early, press the FOG button briefly again.
Page 15

Control settings
Priming the Machine
If the machine runs out of fluid, it may not pump properly after refilling the fluid
due to airlocks in the fluid pipes.
To prime the machine, hold down the FOG button and turn the knob to
maximum. Keep the button held until the haze output is strong and steady. Then
turn the knob back to the required output level and release the FOG button.
During PRIME mode the machine will prime for 10-seconds if any
airlock is still visible on the fluid line, prime machine again until the
haze output is continuous. Note that you must turn the knob to start
the prime process.
If the machine is left to run when out of fluid, damage may be caused to the
pump leading to premature pump failure. The automatic fluid sensing system will
shut the machine down within approximately 5-minutes of running dry.

DMX control
DMX control
Overview
DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural
lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512A standard may be used to control
and program the haze output of the Magnum 2500Hz.
The Magnum 2500Hz requires the optional DMX control module to allow DMX
operation.
Connection
The Magnum 2500Hz provides a 3-pin XLR plug and socket on the rear panel for
DMX connection. The wiring is shown below.
Connector pin

Ground
2
Data – (“Cold”)
3
Data + (“Hot”)
For best results, use cable designed for high speed digital data transmission.
DMX functions
The Magnum 2500Hz operates from a single DMX channel which gives
proportional control of haze density and the fan from 0-100%.
DMX Level
function
0 – 29
No haze
30 – 255
Haze at variable density, (30=minimum, 255=maximum)
When the machine is receiving valid DMX data, the indicator light next to the
address switches will light.
It is possible to control the machine by DMX and using the remote control at the
same time, the highest setting will take precedence.
No provision is made for resetting the fluid out condition via the DMX system.
Reset this using the remote or by powering down the machine to perform a full
reset.
Note that the last switch (switch 10) on the DMX address setting dipswitch is
used for the test function not address 512. Setting this switch to ‘on’ will produce
a timer (10 second) burst of haze allowing the machine to be tested without the
remote control being present.
Page 18

DMX control
Setting the DMX start address
Each unit on a DMX system must be allocated an address so that the DMX
controller can send separate commands to the unit. On the Magnum 2500Hz, the
DMX start address is set using the bank of switches (“dip switches”) on the back
panel next to the DMX connectors. The switch settings for each possible DMX
address are given in the table below.
