You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot
of fog. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time
to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual.
Setting up
"
Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the smoke
output.
Fill the fluid tank with MARTIN-approved fluid (see page 18). The fluid
compartment is opened by pulling outwards on !he cover (pull using a finger in
the round hole).
Connect a suitably rated power supply to the machine. The power requirements
are:
Magnum 1200: 3.9A at 230V (EU) or 7.4A at 120V (US)
Magnum 1800: 5.2A at 230V (EU) or 8.6A at 120V (US)
Connect the remote control to the REMO TE IN connector on the rear panel.
Turn on the power switch. The red Heat indicator on the remote and the top of
the unit willlight. After about 7-10 minutes the green Ready indicator on the
remote and the top of the unit willlight. The machine is then ready to produce
fog. To obtain rnaximum fog output wait another couple of minutes for the Heat
indicator to go out.
Making fog
Once the machine has heated up, hold the FOG button on the remote to start
the fog output. (Pressing the FOG button for less Ihan 1 second will start Timer
mode iftimes are programmed).
You can se! the fog density by turning the knob. lf the knob is turned fully
anticlockwise, no fog will be produced.

DANGER! DO NOT operate the Magnum smoke machine until you have read
and observed all the precautions listed under "Safety information" on page 3.
l..ocation
·
The Magnum smoke machine may be Ieeated on !he floor or may be suspended
using theoptionai flying bracket.
The machine can operate in any orientation from 45 degrees upwards to 45
degrees downwards. Steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage.
lf the machine is to be suspended, ensure the mounting surface can support the
weight of the machine. Do not suspend the machine over areas where people
will be underneath.
Ensure that there is at least 1 oomm clearance all round the machine and at least
600mm in front of the smoke output.
AC power
Before using the machine, ensure that a grounding-type (earthed) power plug
that fits the local power outlets is installed on the power cable.
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated:
• For EU (230V) use fit a plug rated 6 amp minimum
• US (120V) models must be fitted with a plug rated 10 amp minimum
When installing the plug, follow the plug manufacturer's instructions and
connect pins as follows:
yellow and green wire to ground (earth), blue wire to neutral and brown wire to
live.
The table below shows some common pin identification schemes.

Before connecting the Magnum smoke machine to power, verify that the AC
supply is adequately dimensioned for the current draw of the machine. The
machine requires:
Magnum 1200: 3.9A at 230V (EU) or 7.4A at 120V (US)
Magnum 1800: 5.2A at230V (EU) or 8.6A at 120V (US)
Check that the local AC voltage is appropriate, as indicated on the machine's
serial number label. lf your AC voltage is outside the appropriate range, do not
use the machine. Contact Martin Service for assistance.
