Preventing electric shocks • Always ground (earth) the machine electrically. • Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection. • Before connecting the machine to power, check that the voltage indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power voltage.
Page 7
Preventing injuries • Ensure that any surface on which the machine is installed can safely hold the weight of the machine. • Suspending the machine directly over peoples heads is not recommended. Use smoke ducting instead. • Do not point the smoke output directly at a person’s face or at face height. •...
▪ Optional ducting kits. Use only an approved LEADER fog fluid as shown on page 16. Use of other fluid will void warranty. ▪ Physical LEADER Smoke 3 LEADER Smoke 5 Length 485 mm (19.1 in) 602 mm (23.1 in) Width 335 mm (13.2 in)

Install approved LEADER fog fluid as shown on page 16. Connect the machine to a suitably rated power source. The power requirements are: LEADER Smoke 3 1200 W, 5.3 A / 240 V (EU) 1050 W, 8.75 A / 110 V LEADER Smoke 5 2100 W, 9.2 A / 240 V (EU)
DANGER! Make sure the power plug is correctly rated: For UE LEADER Smoke 3 and LEADER Smoke 5 models use a plug rated at 10 A 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.
7.1 Setting up Fill the fluid tank with an approved LEADER fluid as shownon page 16. 7.2 Final checks Before applying power to the machine, verify the following: • The machine is safely located or installed and meets the location requirements stated on page 11.
8 CONTROL SETTINGS 8.1 Overview The integrated digital remote control on the rear of the machine allows you to configure it using option menus. Display Timer value Up/Down buttons Output level Up/Down buttons Timer button Smoke Button The integrated digital remote control may be removed from the unit and used as a handheld remote control by removing the two hand wheel bolts either side of the display.
8.3 Setting continuous operation At power up the machine will automatically heat to its operating temperature. READY 00% When the operating temperature is reached the display will show “READY”. To set continuous operation, adjust output level to desired value and press “SMOKE” button.
8.5 Resetting the machine after fluid out FLUID OUT If the machine runs out of fluid, it will automatically shut down and show FLUID OUT on the display to prevent damage to the pump(s). To reset this, fault down power the system and refill the fluid reservoir. Avoid prolonged operation without fluid, since this will damage the pump and prevent the machine from re-priming.

No other fluid is suitable for use. Trainer Fluid (Medium) This fluid is used in areas where shorter duration training exercises occur and faster dispersal of the fog is required.
DANGER! Disconnect the power supply before removing any covers orchanging fuses. Live parts inside! Rear panel fuse LEADER Smoke 3: 6.3 AT (slow-blow), 250 V 10 AT (slow-blow), 110 V LEADER Smoke 5: 12.5 AT (slow-blow), 250 V 20 AT (slow-blow), 110 V Replace fuse only with one of exactly the same size and rating.
