Viking Le Maitre Freezing Pro Operator's Manual

Le Maitre Freezefog Pro OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Le Maitre Freezefog - Overview

The Freezefog needs a liquid CO2 supply. Either high or low pressure, although better results are obtained with
low pressure.
The Freezefog Pro requires a Le Maitre smoke machine that is Freezefog enabled. This is found in the GGforce3.
Any other machine is not suitable for use.
The smoke machines require Low Smoke fluid. You must ONLY use this as it is designed to bond with the CO2
on a molecular level. CO2 is a colourless, odourless gas. It is only seen when the refraction density is altered.
In the past, water was used with solid CO2, which worked well but tended to leave the area damp and slippery.
The Freezefog works by adding Low Smoke fluid from the smoke machine to the liquid CO2 injected into the
Freezefog. The result is proper Dry Ice Low Smoke. The only difference being there is no dampness associated
with the effect.

The unique partnering of a fog effect with liquid C02 is cost effective and provides a longer lasting effect.
Designed to be utilised with the Freezefog Pro, the Le Maitre Low Smoke Fluid provides a dry, thick, white effect
with a consistent dissipation that eliminates any ambient hazing. The Freezefog couples with the Le Maitre smoke
machine, offering the most advanced controls and fog output available. The Freezefog consumes approximately

3.5 kilos of liquid carbon dioxide per minute of operation at 350 PSI (25bar). At the typical variflow setting of 20
the Gforce3 will consume approximately 4 litres of fluid per hour constant.

The system can be controlled via the standard digital remote control or DMX. The DMX Interface allows the
Freezefog & Gforce3 to be controlled on separate DMX channels. Standard equipment includes 10" ducting sleeve
to facilitate standard ducting in many configurations based on fog distribution requirements.

WARNING

F Keep this device dry to prevent danger of electric shock.
F Do not remove the outer case until power has been disconnected from the machine.
F Use in 3-pin earthed electrical outlets only.
F Turn off power when not in use.
F For adult use only.
F Do not touch, place hands or expose skin within 10cm of nozzle.
F Persons suffering from asthma or allergenic sensitivity may experience irritation, discomfort or

allergic symptoms when exposed to heated fog effects.

F Never use alternative fluids. Toxicity free output is your responsibility.

FREEZEFOG HIGH PRESSURE USING 20LB INVERTED CYLINDERS

These instructions are given for systems using a Le Maitre Freezefog enabled smoke machine with Freezefog
Control Option. Alternate control options are given further in this manual.

1.) Place the smoke machine output directly against the input of the Freezefog Pro.

Technical Tip

Proper alignment can be observed by shining a torch into the 10" exit of the Freezefog
Pro and noting the smoke machine output nozzle is centered in the Freezefog input.

2.) Connect the blue Twist lock connector from the Freezefog into the custom port on the rear panel of the
smoke machine.

3.) Power up the smoke machine by turning on the Mains switch.

4.) Adjust remote interval control dial fully clockwise, until 'DEL' appears on the display.

5.) Adjust remote duration control dial, until desired delay is displayed, up to 30 seconds.

Note:

This delay allows the liquid CO2 to purge the supply hose of CO2 gases ensuring only liquid is available for
optimum cooling .The recommended formula for calculating delay time is 1 sec. for every three feet of supply
hose.

Please refer to the Gforce 3 Instruction manual for use
with this machine

6.) Adjust the remote flow rate to desired fog output level. It is recommended to start at '16' and adjust
accordingly. The maximum recommended flow for the Freezefog Pro High Pressure is '20'.

7.) A Freezefog High Pressure requires High Pressure Liquid CO2 bottles. These are normally available in 20
or 50lb sizes. You must connect the supply hose to the Liquid output of the Liquid CO2 Tank. This is usually
clearly indicated on the Liquid CO2 Tank outputs

8.) The second connection to be made is the CO2 supply hose. This is connected to the liquid port of the CO2
supply. A fibre washer is necessary to prevent leaks and is available from your gas supplier.

9.) Tighten the CO2 supply fitting snug with appropriate wrench.
