MDG Me4 Quick Start

Installation

 Connect the gas inlet to a gas bottle equipped
with a regulator. The gas inlet is an Oxygen
Adaptor (9/16-18 R.H).
 Connect the data wiring (Male XLR-5
connector for DMX/RDM) if you are using a
DMX or RDM controller.
 Connect the power cord 190-250 VAC, 50/60
Hz, 2815W.
 Open the gas bottle (CO
grade, over 99% of purity), and set the
regulator pressure between 50 and 60 psi
(3.5 and 4.1 bar, or 350 and 410 kPa).
 Fill the reservoir with MDG Neutral Fog
Fluid.
Power ON the MDG Me4.

Working with the keyboard (LOCAL Mode)

 Verify the communication mode in the «INTERFACE
COMM. ». When the «AUTO» mode is activated, the MDG Me4 is then
controlled by DMX, only if there is a signal. If the DMX wire is unplugged, the
control remains local.
 When the generator is manually switched to «UNIT ON» mode («CONTROLUNITON»), the program starts the heating
cycle for approximately 8 minutes («STATUSSTATE = % HEAT»).
When the temperature reaches operating level, the Automatic Purging System
(«STATUSSTATE = PURGE»).
After the first purging cycle is completed (1 min), the generator is ready to produce fog («STATUSSTATE = READY»).
 To produce Fog, switch the generator to «FOG ON» mode («CONTROLFOGON»).
The MDG Me4 will start to produce fog right away.
Fog emission can be controlled by adjusting the working pressure of the internal reservoir («CONTROLPRESSURE»).
The MDG Me4 will produce fog as long as the control parameters are within specifications, the fog fluid reservoir filled and
the gas bottle pressurized.
If a critical problem occurs, the fog generator automatically shuts down, and displays an error message in the Status Menu.
The most common errors are (check the manual for more details):
 ERROR = P. LOW
 ERROR = P. HIGH
 ERROR = HEATER
 ERROR = PCB HIGH

Gas bottle is probably closed, empty or not connected. Check also the regulator pressure.
The input gas pressure is too high (Pressure between 50-60 psi / 3.5-4.1 bar / 350-410 kPa).
Check the AC voltage.
Move the generator to a colder location.
