VF1600
The new VF1600 fog machine included a revolutionary new heating
element that has been specially designed to prevent excessive parti-
cle build up that can cause premature fogger failure. This fog machine
has a wide-angle spray nozzle and long-life pump that was specially
designed for high performance fogger output. The fog machine also
includes a remote control, that may be removed for periods on non-
use.

Power Supply:
age in your area matches the required voltage for your ADJ VF1600.
The VF1600 is available in a 120v and 220v version. Because line volt-
age may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your unit volt-
ages matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to operate you
fixture.
DMX-512:
Set-Up
tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX
controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fix-
ture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture
via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on all DMX
fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA "OUT" terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models
of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a
single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX
compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using
several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The
order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence
the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address
of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the
end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first fixture controlled
by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture
is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send
DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located
in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The VF1600 can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. The VF1600 1 channel DMX

on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX
controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm
Data cable for data input and data output (Figure

are making your own cables, be sure to use stan-
dard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may
