Dmx Operation - Ultratec Eclipse G3000 Operator's Manual

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" tube (5') on the output nozzle. If you find that the fog is not staying close to the
floor after a few seconds, reduce your flow rate accordingly and confirm that you still have liquid
Co2 left in the tank.
10) If you have set the ON / OFF cycle timers mentioned previously, the next time that is displayed in
the bottom left of the screen will be first be the ON time and once that reaches 0:00 the next time
that is shown is the OFF time at which point the fluid pumps will stop and the Eclipse will turn Off.
Once the Off time reaches 0:00 the time will switch back to the PRE-FOG TIME again and the
whole process starts over again.

DMX Operation

Note: The G3000 requires 2 channels of DMX for the Eclipse to operate.
1) Attach a DMX signal to the "DMX IN" 5 pin connector on the rear of the unit. For good DMX
practice, a terminator is used on the "DMX OUT" connector
2) Select a valid DMX address on the digital remote.
3) Data = fog rate controlled 0-100%, DMX+1=Eclipse power turns
on above 50%.
4) Valid DMX LED on the back of the G3000 is on solid if good DMX
signal is present. Slow or irregular flashing indicates a poor DMX
signal. DMX control overrides the digital remote flow, Cycle timers
and PRE-FOG TIME settings.
5) The screen will show the words DMX and the set DMX address at the bottom left.
nd
6) Select the 2 consecutive DMX channel that you have set above 50% to turn On the Eclipse first.
This is the equivalent to the PRE-FOG TIME and you have to count the delay time, as it is not
automatic like when you are using the digital remote (Unless you are using a DMX console that you
can preprogram timed queues).
7) The screen will show the letter "R" in the bottom right to indicate the Eclipse is powered On.
8) The Eclipse high and low pressure valves will open, and fan will turn on (You can set the desired
speed of the fan on the Eclipse with the speed control dial to the right of the fan).
9) 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 is done before turning on the fog machine pumps.
st
10) Now bring up the 1 DMX channel to the desired flow to turn the fluid pumps On. We recommended
30% as shown on the digital remote display "D" (demand). Do not exceed 50% demand setting. If
you find that the fog is not staying close to the floor after a few seconds, reduce your flow rate
accordingly and confirm that you still have liquid Co2 flowing from the tank.
