Read the safety precautions in this manual before installing, operating or
servicing this product.
The following symbols are used to identify important safety information:
Caution! Safety
hazard. Risk of
severe injury or
death.
Caution! Burn
hazard. Hot

touch.
Danger!
Hazardous
voltage. Contact

Caution! Fire
hazard.
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 machine 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 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.
6 Safety information
• This machine 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 machine out of service and contact Martin™ for advice.
• 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 fog output at electrical
connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
• The fog 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 fog
output nozzle.
• Do not touch the fog output nozzle during or after use – it becomes
extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.
• Fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point fog 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
• Fasten the machine securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use.
The machine is not portable when installed.
• Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at
least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
• If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the machine to a rigging
clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support.
• If the machine is installed in a location where it may cause injury or
damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a secondary
attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary
attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved by an
official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it
secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be
Safety information 7
capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight
of the machine and all installed accessories.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely
fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform
whenever installing, servicing or moving the machine.
• Do not operate the machine with missing or damaged covers or shields.
• In the event of an operating problem, stop using the machine
immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a
machine that is obviously damaged.
• Do not modify the machine in any way not described in this manual or
install other than genuine JEM™ parts.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified
technician.
• Fog output 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 2 m visibility in areas where fog is being produced.
• Fog fluid contains food-grade glycols 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.
• 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.
Preventing breathing problems
• A machine can operate safely only with the fog fluid it is designed for.
Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Fog 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 fog in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
• Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or
respiratory conditions such as asthma) to fog output.
• Do not point fog output directly at a person’s face or at face height.

8 Product overview
Product overview
Product description
The JEM ZR25™, ZR35™ and ZR45™ provide a uniquely flexible and convenient
solution to a wide range of fog requirements whether permanently installed or
taken on the road. Featuring a high efficiency heating block and accepting
multiple weights of fluid, the JEM ZR series™ products can create anything from
an ephemeral steam chase to a dense, long-lasting “whiteout”.
An advanced control panel with LCD screen can be operated on the machine or
removed and used as a remote controller, or the machines may be operated by
DMX with full RDM capability for remote setup and status monitoring.
This manual contains instructions for all machines in the range, but
some features are different. These symbols show information
which is specific to a particular machine.
