MDG theONE Quick Start

Installation

•
Connect the gas inlet to a gas bottle via a flexible braided hose.
The gas inlet is a 1/4" male JIC 37° flare fitting.
•
Connect the fog fluid container to the fluid inlet via a 3/8" plastic tube.
Open the vent on the container.
Leave the reservoir as close as possible to the MDG theONE.
•
Connect the data wiring if necessary.
Male XLR-5 connector for DMX ( DMX512-A protocol) and RDM (ANSI E1.20
protocol).
Male RJ45 connector for network( ArtNet, Pathport Protocol, Strand
Shownet, ETC Net2 eDMX, Streaming ACN, ETC Net3).
•
Connect the power cord, 100–250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1100-1480 W.
•
Open the gas bottle and check the gauge, on top of the generator, to make
sure there is enough pressure
MIN: 690 kPa (6.9 bar) / 100 psi, MAX: 17 MPa (172 bar) / 2500 psi.
The MDG theONE is ready to be powered on.
NOTE: At start-up, the MDG theONE tries to fill the internal reservoir. If there
is not enough fog fluid, the generator will not operate.

Working with the keyboard (LOCAL Mode)

•
Verify the communication mode in the «INTERFACE COMM. ». When the «AUTO» mode is activated, the MDG theONE is then
controlled by DMX, 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
(«STATUSSTATE = UNIT ON») for approximately 8 minutes.
When the temperature reaches operating level («STATUSSTATE = READY»), the Automatic Purging System
initiated («STATUSSTATE = PURGE»). After the first purging cycle is completed (20 to 60 sec.), the generator is ready to produce
fog («STATUSSTATE = READY»).
•
The Fog / Haze mode is controlled by the menu («CONTROLMODE»).
Choosing «HAZE» switch the MDG theONE in a Haze mode, while «FOG» will switch the MDG theONE in a Fog mode.
Fog / haze emission can be controlled by adjusting the working pressure of the internal reservoir («CONTROLPRES. HAZ» or
«CONTROLPRES. FOG»).
•
To produce Fog / Haze switch the generator to «FOG ON» mode («CONTROLFOGON»).
Depending of the mode choice («CONTROLMODE», or see «STATEMODE»), the MDG theONE will start to produce a haze (HAZE
mode) or a fog (FOG mode), with an internal pressure defined by the working mode pressure.
The MDG theONE will produce fog as long as the control parameters are within specifications, the liquid reservoir filled and the gas bottles
pressurized.
If a critical problem occurs, the fog generator automatically shuts down, and displays an error message in the Status Menu while the LDC
Screen will flash.
