1 Select the remote fluid system as the fluid source by opening the door of
the fluid compartment and setting the toggle switch mounted in the top of
the compartment side panel to the 'Remote' position.
2 Fit the fluid line from the remote reservoir onto the Glaciator X-Stream's
Push in connector. The remote fluid connection is a 6 mm (0.24 in.) 'push
fit' style pneumatic fitting, and should be used with nylon or PTFE tubing
that has a 10 bar (145 psi) pressure rating.
3 To prime the pumping system, the Ice switch should be set to OFF, to
allow the machine to run the pumps at maximum output. Alternatively, wait
until the refrigeration system cools to below -15, at which point the pump
ramping system will become inactive, and maximum output will be
available.
Low-fluid warning on remote supply
The local fluid sensor will be disabled when in remote mode, but a remote
system such as a PLC can shut the machine down by using pin 5 of the
interface connector (9-way D-type).
To prevent the fog machine from running dry a fluid sensor can be
installed at the remote fluid supply. To indicate low fluid, the input on pin 5
must be pulled low, relative to the ground on pin 6. Ground isolation
should be provided between the two systems, by using relays or opto-
isolators.
An output, which is active when the machine is firing, is provided on the 9-
way D-type connector (pins 8 & 9). This signal can be combined with the
signal from a pressure switch, to control the remote pump which must
