Intended use
Safety
10
This device is intended to be used to produce ne haze by vaporising hazer uid. Use the
device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating con‐
ditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No
liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sucient physical, sensorial, and intellectual
abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this
device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not
within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from
the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.

Safety instructions
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never
remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or
damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐
tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so
could result in electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐
tered electrician.

Safety instructions
WARNING!
Risk of burns from ammable liquids
The use of ammable liquids in this appliance can cause serious burns and prop‐
erty damages.
Use only approved hazer uids. Never ll ammable liquids into the container of
the device.
WARNING!
Risk of slipping caused by condensate
Hazer can produce condensate. Do not point the haze on oors. Floors and sur‐
faces can become slippery by condensed haze.
Check regularly that all oors can be accessed without slipping hazard and
remove any condensate, if necessary.

Safety instructions
WARNING!
Health hazard when handling hazer uid
Hazer uid contains glycols, which meet the requirements for food products. Nev‐
ertheless, uid is harmful if swallowed.
Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention. Keep hazer uid in a
safe place. Rinse the eyes upon contact with hazer uid thoroughly with water.
CAUTION!
Possible respiratory problems
The device can only be operated safely when using approved hazer uids. Using
other uids can generate toxic gases. Any claims for compensation for damages
caused by using non-approved uids are excluded.
Do not let the device produce haze in poorly ventilated areas.
Do not expose people with health problems (such as allergy-related respiratory
symptoms, asthma) to articial haze.

5 Starting up
Starting up
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐
nary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐
ers.

Connections in DMX mode
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the rst DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

NOTICE!
Possible damages caused by unsuitable hazer uid
Hazer uids not approved by the manufacturer may permanently damage the
unit.
Only use the hazer uids listed on www.thomann.de and follow their instructions
for use.
First, make sure the unit is disconnected from the mains.
Open the screw-cap of the liquid container and ll in the hazer uid. Make sure that no hazer
uid is spilled or gets into the device. The easiest way is using a funnel. Fill the uid container
up to the upper level indicator [FULL].
Screw the cap rmly back on.

Turning the unit on
Operating
NOTICE!
Fire hazard
Do not operate the machine unattended.
Connect the device to the mains and switch the device on with the main switch. The appliance
heats up, the red LED on the rear panel lights up.
As soon as the required operating temperature is reached, the red LED on the rear panel goes
out. The device is now operational.
Operation
Turning the unit o
When operating, always ensure that there is sucient hazer uid in the liquid container to
avoid no-load running.
Disconnect the device from the mains. Transport the device only when it is completely cooled
down. To avoid leaking hazer uid during transport, you should transport the device only with
empty uid container.
Remove the condensate collector pad from the haze / air outlet to dry. Put the pad back into
the haze / air outlet before using the device next time.

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐
ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug
ts into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a
short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
The unit oers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please
refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug.

10 Troubleshooting
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Symptom Remedy
The unit does not work Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
No haze output 1. Check the uid level of the hazer uid.
2. Switch the device o and check the hose that leads into the uid container
for ow.
No response to the DMX controller 1. Check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
2. Try using another DMX controller.
3. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside to high voltage cables
that may cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuits.

11 Cleaning
Procedure
Cleaning
NOTICE!
Possible damages caused by unsuitable cleaning agents
Cleaners not approved by the manufacturer may permanently damage the unit.
Only use the fog machine cleaners listed on www.thomann.de and follow their
instructions for use.
Clean the appliance after every 30 operating hours, or if it was not in use for a longer period of
time.
1. Make sure that the device is turned o, disconnected from the mains and completely
cooled down.
2. Position the unit in a well ventilated place.
3. Insert the suction hose of the haze machine into the bottle with the fog machine
cleaner.
4. Connect the device to the mains and switch it on with the main switch.
Hz-200 DMX
39
Cleaning
5. As soon as the required operating temperature is reached, the red LED on the rear panel
goes out. The device is now operational.
Let the device produce haze with maximum output volume for about 20 seconds.
6. Insert the suction hose of the haze machine back into the fog uid container and let the
device again produce haze for about 20 seconds. This will rinse the lines.
The cleaning is completed.
