Warnings

To prevent risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose electrical parts to rain or moisture.
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
Continuous smoke time setting	Duration

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

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
No power to main unit	Check mains voltage is correct and socket is switched on
or wired controller	Check IEC lead is OK and connected properly
	Check mains fuse in IEC connector and fuse in plug top
	If fuse blowing repeatedly, refer to qualified service personnel
Power to unit but no	Check fluid level in tank
haze output in manual	If fluid is OK and pump working, the lines may be blocked
or continuous mode	Check that output is not set to zero on the control panel
	Check that output is not switched off on the keyfob remote
	If blocked, clean with fog machine cleaner & distilled water
	Check that if DMX mode is selected, the DMX channel is correct
	In DMX mode, check that haze output is not set to zero
