Special Note: Line Termination.
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termina-
tor on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120
POWER
ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a
male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the
female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate
the line. Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of
erratic behavior.
Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.
Linking:
The Pro Haze DMX™ is a DMX intelligent hazer and must follow stan-
dard DMX protocol when used in DMX mode. A DMX signal cannot
be split unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the
LSC
DMX Branch 4.
Link your hazers together using standard DMX
™
®
cables as described on page 7 of this manual. Be sure that each fixture
follows an "IN"/"OUT" pattern starting from your DMX controller. Your
controller will always be the first output in a DMX chain. Link all your
DMX devices together regardless of their brand or type. To control all
the hazers at once, set all the hazers to the same DMX address.

Universal DMX Control:

Designer to control haze output.
1. The Pro Haze DMX™ uses one DMX channel. Channel value 0
POWER
to 5 will not produce haze output, channel value 6 to 255 the
Pro Haze DMX will produce haze.
3. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 8 - 9 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
4. Use the controller's faders to control the DMX fixture trait.
5. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
6. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
Remote Operation:
Place your haze machine in a well ventilated area. Be sure your hazer
is placed on a flat, level surface. Be sure your hazer remote has been
plugged in securely. Always maintain an adequate supply of Elation
Haze Juice™ in the fluid reservoir. Running the haze machine dry will
cause pump failure and or clogging. Running a haze machine dry is
the largest cause of haze machine failure. Only Elation Haze Juice™
is recommended and not all haze juice is created equal. Plug your
haze machine into a standard 110V/120V supply. Once the machine is
plugged in and turned on, the power switch will begin to glow indicat-
ing the unit is receiving power.
