1. Introduction The Piccola is a battery-operated smoke machine for use both as a fog effect in the entertainment area, as well as for flow tests or leak detection. It only needs the shortest heating times (1 sec.) And also has a compact housing with low weight (2.6kg).
2. Safety instructions Very hot steam comes out of the mist outlet opening. Caution, risk of burns! During the fogging process, very hot fluid droplets can occasionally emerge from the fog outlet opening. For this reason, no people or heat-sensitive objects may be located within 1.5 m of the fog outlet.
"click" sound be heard. 4.3 Hose The Piccola is supplied with a hose cover for 15mm hoses. Please only use hoses that can handle the temperatures. The hose cover is held by a magnet on the device. The protruding ring on the hose cover is used for centering.
A single shot mode is also implemented. 5.1 Display of the Piccola The operation of the Piccola takes place via the three buttons (minus / left, plus / right, enter) and the OLED display. In the upper part of the display, the charge status of the battery can be read on the left.
In DMX mode, the socket is used to receive a DMX-512 telegram. Furthermore, the Piccola is RDM capable, so the DMX address can also be using an RDM changed capable lighting console. A firmware update via RDM is also possible.
If a valid DMX signal is received, a small "R" appears above the quantity display. Since the Piccola needs energy from the battery for DMX reception, in this case it switches off one hour after the last valid DMX signal. This saves the battery.
The Piccola switches itself off automatically after the fogging process in order to extend the battery life. However, if a mode other than "Manual" is set, the Piccola can be switched off using the "Off" menu item. Note that the machine can then only be switched on using the buttons on...
6. The battery pack The supplied battery pack contains a maintenance-free 12V lead-gel battery. This can be used independently of the location. The Piccola is connected via a 4-pin. XLR connector. The charger is connected via a low voltage socket.
