The machine accepts a variation of temperature of a few degrees. As soon as a deviation is detected, the smoke production will be toned down. In practice, these variations of smoke productions will not be noticed. The SG4000™ is developed to use LION’s Smoke Liquid. The machine and smoke liquid are tuned to produce an optimal result.

After that, the machine will switch back to normal density (100%) If the heater isn’t warm enough, it will immediately switch to 100% density and skip the boost mode.

Wireless Remote Control (RC) Wireless Remote Control settings The wireless RC had two groups of buttons: group A and group B. This allows for two generators being controlled at the same time by one remote. Group A uses the top 4 buttons of the RC. Group B uses the bottom 4. The four buttons have the same function as the four buttons on the left of the generator display.

Changing the RC identification code Every RC has its own identification code. It can happen that multiple RC’s share the same code. The consequence is that the generator is controlled by many RC’s at the same time even though that may not be wished. In that case, the identification code of the RC can be changed.
