Operating Procedure
Stand Alone Operation
1. Insert a 2 or 4 Litre Jug of Ultratec Special Effects Luminous 7 Haze Fluid into the uid jug holder.
2. Remove the cap and break the foil seal. Insert the uid pickup tube into the jug and tighten the lid. Ensure the uid lter
located at the end of the tube sits at the lowest end especially if the machine is not mounted level.
3. An optional Versa Fan can be controlled at the same rate as the internal fan. Plug a matching voltage fan into the
U-Ground (120 volt) or Lockable Volex Connector (220-240 volt). It will now vary with the internal fan control.
4. The Haze Rate and Fan Control is limited to 8 steps plus OFF for the assist fan and the haze rate. The DMX switches are
used to select the desired operation. The ‘Hundreds’ switch must be set to 6 before the unit is turned on. This starts the
unit in stand-alone mode. This mode is indicated by the valid DMX light ashing. The ‘Tens’ switch controls the haze
rate. ‘0’ is off, 1-8 runs from low to full (9 is the same level as 8). For minimum Flow Rate use DMX or Optional Hand
Remote Control. The ‘Ones’ switch controls the assist fan in the same way, 1-8 is low to full. The fan has a minimum
setting and should always run when the power is applied. The fan only speeds up when haze is issued.
5. Plug the unit into a suitable power source. Turn the main power switch on and it will illuminate if power
is present. The valid DMX light should also now be ashing. The heat up time is approximately 7 minutes before
haze can be produced. The Green LED indicates “Heating” when “Flashing” and “Ready” when LED is “Solid”.
A three ash pattern indicates an over temperature error.
Operation with Hand Remote
1. Insert a 2 or 4 Litre jug of Ultratec Special Effects Luminous 7
Haze Fluid into the uid jug holder.
2. Remove the cap and break the foil seal. Insert the uid pickup
tube into the jug and tighten the lid. Ensure the uid lter
located at the end of the tube sits at the lowest end especially
if the machine is not mounted level.
3. An optional Versa Fan can be controlled at the same rate as the
internal fan. Plug a matching voltage fan into the U-Ground
(120 volt) or Lockable Volex Connector (220-240 volt). It will
now vary with the internal fan control.
4. Plug the Hand Remote cable into the rear connector marked
remote. Please Note: DMX control will override the hand
remote settings. DMX control is indicated when the valid DMX
light is solid RED. If the DMX LED is ashing, the unit is in
Stand Alone Mode; change the DMX switches to “000” and
repower the machine.
5. Plug the unit into a suitable power source. Turn the main power switch on and it will illuminate if power is present. The
heat up time is approximately 7 minutes before haze can be produced. The Hand Remote indicates the heating cycle
when the laze switch light is ashing. When the unit is ready to haze the light will be solid. A three ash pattern indicates
an over temperature error. The rear panel Green LED indicates the same status.

6. The haze rate can be switched on, off and varied by using the Hand Remote controls. Haze output increases as the
variow knob turns clockwise.
7. The assist fan is always on low. Fan speed can be increased by rotating the fan knob clockwise. The fan only speeds up
during haze output.
8. The interval knob is used to provide cycled output. It must be set fully counter-clockwise when not in use. The hazer will
produce 10 seconds of output at the requested ow spaced by a 1 - 300 seconds interval dependent upon the knob
position.

DMX Operation
9. Insert a 2 or 4 Litre jug of Ultratec Special Effects Luminous 7 Haze Fluid into the uid jug holder.
10. Remove the cap and break the foil seal. Insert the uid pickup tube into the jug and tighten the lid. Ensure the uid lter
located at the end of the tube sits at the lowest end especially if the machine is not mounted level.
11. An optional Versa Fan can be controlled at the same rate as the internal fan. Plug a matching voltage fan into the
U-Ground (120 volt) or Lockable Volex Connector (220-240 volt). It will now vary with the internal fan control.
12. Select the desired DMX address for the hazer. Please Note: The hazer occupies two sequential addresses. The selected
address is the Haze rate and the selected address + 1 is the fan speed. Control is from 0 - 100% with ‘0’ turning the
output off. Insert the DMX line into “DMX in” connector. The fan has a minimum setting and should always run when
the power is applied. The fan only speeds up when haze is produced.
13. Plug the unit into a suitable power source. Turn the main power switch on and it will illuminate if power is present. The
valid DMX light will be solid when DMX signal is present. The heat up time is approximately 7 minutes before haze can
be produced. The Green LED indicates Heating when ashing and Ready when solid. A three ash pattern indicates an
over temperature error.
14. 5 Minutes prior to shutting down your Radiance Hazer, move your output valve to “0”. Doing this will consume any
haze uid that is still in your distribution feed tubes and processing block. Failure to do so will result in raw uid being
discharged from your output nozzle when you operate it next start-up.
