  • Page 3: Introduction

    The unique partnering of a fog effect with liquid CO2 is cost effective while providing a longer lasting effect. Designed to be utilized with the Eclipse, the Ultratec Special Effects genuine ‘Molecular Fog Fluid’ provides a dry, thick, white effect with a consistent dissipation that eliminates any ambient hazing. The “Eclipse”...

    OPERATING PROCEDURE G3000/PFI9D/ECLIPSE machine setup 1) Remove the 4” Adapter off the front of the fog machine (if equipped). 2) Place the fog machine output end directly against the foam gasket of the ECLIPSE aligning the output nozzle with the hole. TECH TIP: Proper alignment can be observed by shining a flashlight into the 10”...

    Using Low Pressure 350 lb. Dewar Tank 1) Connect CO2 hose to bottom valve on Eclipse (labeled Refrigerated or Low Pressure). The second connection must be to the Liquid output of the Liquid CO2 Dewar Tank. This is usually clearly indicated on the Liquid CO2 Tank output.
  • Page 12: Refrigerated Liquid Dewars Explained

    Refrigerated Liquid Dewars Explained The Eclipse Low Pressure valve uses CO2 Cylinders similar to the one pictured to the right. These are available from the local welding supply center, and are sometimes referred to as "Dewars". Typically, there are three valve handles, a pressure gauge and a CO2 level indicator located on the top of the Liquid CO2 Tank.
  • Page 13: Eclipse Operation With The G3000

    Eclipse Operation with the G3000 Digital Remote Operation. 1) Adjust the remote flow rate “D” (demand) using + and – buttons to desired fog output level. We recommend starting at 30% and then D50 A 27 adjust accordingly if need be. The maximum recommended flow Fog On for the G3000 is 50%.
  • Page 14: Dmx Operation

    9) Once the PRE-FOG TIME countdown reaches 0:00, the fluid pumps will start at the set flow rate (Demand). Fog will start to flow out the Eclipse. It might take a few seconds for the fog to start staying close to the floor if the flow rate is correct. Best mixing of the fog and CO2 occurs if there is a piece of 10”...

    11) Example: DMX address set 122 in digital remote. Turn up DMX channel 123 over 50% preferably 100%. Count off your required purge and pre-chill time and then bring up DMX channel 122 to the desired flow rate. Once again not exceeding 50% maximum; 30% or lower is recommended. Please note: % on a DMX fader is not the same as % showing on the digital display “D”...

    No Light: Indicates problems; a loss of power or remote is not connected. If these fail to correct the problem, contact your local Ultratec Special Effects dealer. Note: To operate the ECLIPSE using the Timer/ Duration Remote, the DMX Address must be set on 555.
  • Page 17: Show Control Operation

    Show Control Operation Show control is achieved by connecting a “Dry” or zero voltage contact to the show control terminals. The Power Fog Industrial 9D requires no power to signal the fog, only one set of contacts that close for the entire fogging cue.

    50 feet horizontally. The ducting is available insulated or non-insulated and can be purchased though an industrial supply company or from Ultratec Special Effects. The ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator may also be ducted vertically up to 20 feet to CLF-2956 Non-insulated 10"...

    ECLIPSE valve we would recommend Less then a 25 Flow Rate setting on the fog machine remote. 9. Wrong Fluid is being used. Ultratec Special Effects Molecular should be the only fluid used. Longer lasting fogs can cause this but again it is not observed often. If another manufacturers fluid is used this will definitely cause this type of problem.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    Maintenance Exterior To clean simply wash with mild soap and warm water. Check the foam gasket that sits between the G3000/PFI9D and the Eclipse for any damage and replace if required. Cover the hose ends and fittings when not in use to prevent dirt from clogging the valves. Keep road case cover over the Eclipse System open when in use.
