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
adjust accordingly if need be. The maximum recommended flow
for the G3000 is 50%. If you find that the fog is not staying low to
the floor (when running) reduce your flow rate accordingly until it
does and check that you still have enough liquid CO2 in your tank.
2) To set the cycle time of the effect, press the menu button on the
G3000 to "Set Cycle On". Choose the time frame required. If you do not require a
preset cycle time leave setting at 0:01 and press menu to select and go to the next
screen.
3) If cycle time is required, "Set Cycle Off" time. If not needed, leave this setting at 0:00 and
press the menu to select and go to the next screen.
4) To set the CO2 line purge, set LSG PRE FOG TIME or CO2
PRE FOG TIME to appropriate minutes/seconds depending on
how long the CO2 hose is. To calculate the delay-time use 1
second for every 3 feet of hose. Example for 10' of hose
between your tank and Eclipse, your PRE-FOG TIME minimum
would be 0:04. It is good practice to add some extra time (5-10
seconds) to allow the Eclipse to pre-chill before adding fog. You
will want more pre-chill if the output is piped some distance to a
floor pocket or fog curtain.
5) Press Menu button again to change screen to DMX menu, and press Menu button again
for Low Fluid Stop menu. Set Low Fluid Stop to "Off" or "On" if needed. When set to "On"
the fluid pumps will stop automatically when a low fluid level is detected when the fluid
bottle is in the jug holder. TECH TIP: Leave the setting at "Off" when using a G3000
with a 5' industrial hose.
6) Press Menu button again to change screen to next menu selection. Screen will be back
to main menu. Ensure that fog machine is fully heated by looking at the right side of the
screen. The temperature bar graph will be to the top and the letter H in the bottom right
will no longer be displayed. Press I/O button to turn fog output "On" or "Off".
7) The PRE-FOG TIME that was set will show up in the bottom left side and start to count
down. The letter "R" will show up on the bottom right side of the screen. The Eclipse high
and low pressure valves will open, and fan will turn on (The desired fan speed of the
Eclipse can be set with the speed control dial to the right of the fan).
8) When the Eclipse is started (and has not run in several minutes) you will hear the valve
open and a sharp hissing noise as the CO2 gas first starts. Within a few seconds the
noise will soften to a liquid flow as the lines get chilled and at this point cold white CO2
cloud will be coming out the front of the Eclipse. Note: This should happen before the fog
machine turns the pumps on if the PRE-FOG TIME is set correctly.
