The remote uses a standard 3-pin XLR connector. You can control the amount of fog ia the remote, but the density (fan) level must be set using the control panel on the Glaciator X-Stream.
  • Page 12 The interface allows 'voltage free' control signals to switch the Fog, Standby, Timer and Ice functions. The output levels and timer settings must be made using the Glaciator X-Stream control panel. This interface is further described in “DMX-512 setup &...
  • Page 13: Dmx-512 Setup & Control

    & SETUP CONTROL The Glaciator X-Stream can be operated via a DMX control device. The interface uses the two XLR 3-pin connectors marked DMX on the interface panel, and uses the usual DMX electrical standards (RS 485). The inputs are protected against overvoltage and an output connector is provided to allow multidrop operation of the link.

  • Page 19: Plc Interface

    INTERFACE The PLC interface connector is operational without the need to fit an extra interface PCB to the machine. This allows installers to control the functions of the machine using active low signals from a PLC or other automatic control system. The fog and density levels must be preset on the display units, or alternatively, a 0-10V signal can be used at the remote interface connector (XLR3).
  • Page 20: Control Panel Overview

    ONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW This section describes the Glaciator X-Stream: • “Display” below • “Control switches” on page 23 • “Messages” on page 24 The onboard control panel consists of four control switches and two LED displays, which show all information relating to fog and ice.
  • Page 21 Menu key Pressing the menu key once will display the current menu function, whilst pressing it more times or holding it down will scroll through the available menus. Enter key The enter key is used for storing selected values into non-volatile memory.
  • Page 22 The software that controls the displays and the other functions of the machine is stored in 'Flash' memory on the DMX receiver PCB. As new features become available, this program code can be updated by using the Martin Uploader programming device for the AVR microprocessor. Glaciator X-Stream user manual...

  • Page 26: General Operation

    Do not bypass the fluid sensor, this could cause damage to the machine. The Glaciator X-stream has an on-board 5L (1.3 US Gal.) container that provides approximately 1.5 hours of continuous operation at full output. This will vary with the power supply voltage, which will determine the maximum continuous output level.
  • Page 27 • Heavy Fog Fluid C3 For normal operation we recommend the standard B2 fluid. For longer lasting effects we recommend C3. Contact a JEM / Martin distributor for advice on using other fluid grades/types. P u mp ra mp in g The system uses a technique called 'Pump Ramping' to allow continuous fog output during the entire operation period.
