The Microprocessor is responsible for the following control elements - Monitoring the heat exchanger temperature. Driving the heater within the heat-exchanger in a proportional power mode. Driving the fluid pump units in a pulse mode, relating fluid flow to temperature Accepting and manipulating data from the Flow, Duration and Interval controls. Accepting data from the Smoke Switch. Accepting data from the 0-10 volt inputs. Sending and receiving data relating to machine/machine linking. Monitoring the heater and pump power switching devices. Monitoring t ...

Important Safety Instructions: Do not touch or place hands, expose skins, within 50 cm. of discharge nozzle. Important Safety Instructions: Do not remove the outer case until power has been disconnected from the machine. Important Safety Instructions: Persons suffering from asthma or allergenic sensitivity may experience irritation, discomfort, or allergic symptoms when exposed to fog effects. Important Safety Instructions: Ensure that this unit is grounded at all times. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. Important Safety Instructions: Never use alternative fluids.

least 18 Amps, and be adequately Grounded. The supply should be ‘clean’ and free of interference. 2) The Power to the G300 should be controlled by the illuminated Mains Power switch located on the rear panel. 3) Shortly after switching ‘ON’, the digital display on the remote panel will show a 50H or 60H. This is an automatic line frequency check which allows highly accurate timing features. 4) The Display unit will now start flashing ‘HAZE’. This is a default setting. If Regular Haze fluid is to be used, then the machine should be allowed to continu ...

power, the ‘Flow’ rate setting, and the ‘Ready’ status. At this stage the flow rate may be adjusted freely between minimum and maximum settings. (Upon entering a ‘ready to operate’ phase the maximum allowable flow rate will be automatically adjusted based on the energy available. ) 6) The Timer controls are of an auto-display option, and will display immediately upon being adjusted, or if set to any position apart from the Interval being ‘Off’ will display approximately every 10 seconds. The ‘Interval’ control ( time between repe ...

reduce from 3 bars to 2, and then 1 and finally no bars, as the heater switches off. When settled, the ‘Heat Flash’ indicator will indicate the power being used in maintaining the working temperature. Since proportional control is used, this will vary upon the operating environment. 8) The machine may now be operated fully as desired with due attention to all prevailing safety regulations. FLUID REPLACEMENT Replacing fluid does not require any attention to ‘priming’ conditions. The G300 uses a unique system of fluid pumping which a ...

effectively away from the issue site. The maximum recommended cable length is 30 Me- tres.(100 Feet). It is not recommended to plug/unplug the handset while the machine is still pow- ered up. If this should occur, there is a possibility that the display will produce non read- able characters if transmission is broken mid stream of a display update. The rear panel of the machine is fitted with a 4 Pin ‘XLR’ connector which will allow the connection of two 0 - 10 volt lines. One line is of a switching characteristic for the activation of fog, simulating the ‘S ...

then the ‘Flow Accept’ switch on this machine must be active. If it is required for a machine to accept the ‘Smoke On’ switch data from an ‘up- stream’ unit, then the ‘Smoke Accept’ switch on this machine must be active. If it is required to control the next ‘downstream’ machine with the ‘timer’ control of the local machine then the ‘Send Timer’ switch must be active. Using these various switching options will allow flexibility in a link up pattern, and enable individual machine setup without the need to break the linki ...

chine is in the correct mode for the prevailing fluid type. All that is required is a brief machine switch ‘Off’ then back ‘On’ again. In the example given i.e. from Hi-Power G300 mode to HAZE mode, a re- adjustment period will be required for the machine to settle to the ‘Hazing’ characteristics. ( Indicated by a flashing ‘C’ in the heater flash window of the digital display.) To allow a quicker change over from G300 to Haze, operate the machine with normal’ fluid to the point of continuous flow, switch the machine off, replace th ...

soap and warm water. Periodically check to ensure that the fluid pick up filter screen is in place and clean from debris. Using high quality Le Maitre fluid should result in a long heat exchanger life however we recommend that our EZ Kleen Preventative Maintenance fluid be run through the fog machine on a regular basis - every month for about 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how heavily the G300 is used; to help prevent blockages. 10 Maintenance Exterior: Fluid Pick Up: Heat Exchanger ...

1. Remove G300 cover and existing fluid assembly 2. Drill hole in front control panel to accept key switch Figure 1. Solder wires from G300 mode button to Pins 1 and 3 on key switch (be careful not to over-heat the switch). 3. Take the long end of the black hose and feed up through the existing hole Figure 2. (from inside out) Be sure to use the hole plug provided to permit the hose clamp from protruding through the hole. 4. Slide on the strain relief and insert the brass filter Figure 3. To adjust the depth of the hose simply loosen nut ‘A’ and slide up or down the hose and retighten. Be careful n ...

the steam simulation/ air purge effect. B- Air Pressure Control: This is used to control the velocity of the steam/ air purge effect, with the setting being displayed on the Air Pressure Gauge in p.s.i (pounds per square inch). C- Air Input: This quick coupler connector is used as the input for the compressed air, and is an industrial interchange 1/4” body. D- Continuous Air Over Ride: This switch is used if continuous air output is desired. If show control air is used, this switch must be in the off position. E- G300 Mode Control (Key ...

are the air pressure will determine the velocity of the effect, while the flow control of the fog machine will determine the density of the effect. When using the air option as a fog purge, enough time must be allowed for the air to com- pletely purge the heat exchanger of fog and fog fluid. Remember on the next fog cue enough time must be allowed for the fog fluid to fill the heat exchanger and exit out the nozzle. 1.) Place the G300 directly against the foam ring input of the LSG. Proper alignment can be observed by shining a flashlight in ...

This is connected to the liquid port of the CO2 supply. A washer is necessary to prevent leaks and are available from your gas supplier. 8.) A LSG Low requires a 350 Lb. Low Pressure Dewar. You must connect the supply hose to the Liquid output of the dewar. This is usually clearly indicated on the dewar outputs. The dewar pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge must read between 300 - 340 psi to operate the LSG, this is achieved by opening the pressure builder valve at least one hour in advance of us ...

many of our customers would like it to hang longer so we introduced the “Long Lasting Fluid”. It is still odourless but a little less white than our “Director’s Choice”. It hangs in the air 2 - 3 times longer than the “Director’s Choice”. Quick Dissipating Fog Fluid: We have been mixing this for some time for our special effects people working in the movies. We have decided that there are many other applications for this fluid. When using this in the LSX or LSG, you will find it works very well if you are having problems with the s ...

personnel. 2. Do not modify the machine or use a machine which has been damaged in any way. 3. Allow sufficient air circulation around the machine at all times. 4. Protect the G300 from direct weather effects and wet locations. 5. Only use fluids recommended by the Manufacturer. 6. Do not continue to produce Fog output in an enclosed area when visibility is reduced below 50cm. 7. Avoid direct Fog output continuously at persons, structure or objects within close prox imity of the discharge nozzle. 8. Ensure that adequate exhausting arrangements a ...
