If liquids are spilled on areas other than inside the fluid tank, disconnect the mains, allow the unit to dry out and have it checked by qualified personnel before further use.
Avoid any impact, dropping or extreme pressure to the housing.
No user serviceable parts inside - do not open the case.
Allow the unit to acclimatise to room temperature before operating.
The HZ-800 has a built-in fluid container and should be operated in an upright position. Ensure that the unit is positioned on a stable, non-slip surface.
Safety and Cleaning
Check for correct mains voltage and condition of IEC lead before connecting to mains.
This unit must be earthed.
This unit uses a heating element – be aware that parts of the housing may be hot during use!
Use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the casing.
Do not use strong solvents for cleaning the housing.
Clean the haze mechanism periodically by operating with distilled water instead of haze.
It is also recommended to use fog machine cleaning fluid (160.670UK) periodically.

Setting Up
Unpack the HZ-800 unit.
Unscrew the top cap of the tank and remove to fill with haze fluid.
Replace the bottle and screw the cap securely, making sure that the pipe is fed down to the bottom of the bottle to ensure a consistent flow of fluid.
Connect the wired remote controller to the socket on the rear panel.
If DMX is to be used for control, connect the DMX signal from the controller to the DMX IN XLR connector. Any further DMX controlled units may be connected via the DMX OUT XLR connector.
Connect the IEC mains plug and power the unit on.
The unit will begin the warming up process and the display panel on the wired remote will display “Warm up” which normally takes around 3-5 minutes.
Once the unit is warm enough for use the display panel will change to “Ready”.
Operation
Use the control buttons on the panel of the wired controller to operate the unit’s modes and functions quickly and efficiently as below:
Button | Response |
---|---|
Function | Scrolls between DMX, Pump, Wind, Interval and Duration modes |
Up | Increase function or setting |
Down | Decrease function or setting |
Timer | Enter timer mode |
Start/Stop | Turn pump on/off |
Manual | Manually adjusts the fan speed |
The LCD panel on the wired controller will display the following outputs:
Function | Display |
---|---|
Warm up state | Warm up or Ready |
DMX address code | 1-512 |
Pump settings | Pump |
Fan settings | Wind |
Time setting | Interval |

The small RF remote control supplied can also be used when wireless control of the unit is needed. Its possible to increase and decrease the values of the pump (button A) and wind (button B) settings using the remote control. As the receiver for the RF remote is fitted inside the wired controller this must be connected and switched on for it to function correctly.
If the LCD panel display is showing the DMX address, the unit will operate from DMX control as follows:
Chanel | No | Control |
---|---|---|
0 | Off | |
Channel 1 (start address) | 1-255 | Pump control 1-100% |
Channel 2 (start address +1) | 0-255 | Fan speed slow to fast |
