    TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE...22 PARTS LIST ... 23 INTRODUCTION This manual offers a detailed explanation of the operation of the ROSCO MODEL 1700 smoke machine. To assure efficient and safe operation, please take a few minutes to read this material. The ROSCO MODEL 1700 smoke machine is a thermal aerosol generator designed for variable fog output.
  • Page 3: Important Safeguards

    To do so with any high-amperage device is to assume substantial risk. Rosco strongly recommends against 5. In any facility, the smoke concentration should be controlled. The smoke should never mask emergency exits, safety signs, staircases or other safety constructions.
  • Page 4: How The Machine Works

    NOTE: The terms “fog” and “smoke” are used interchangeable. However the ROSCO MODEL 1700 does not produce smoke, but a mist or aerosol.

    Turn on the main power switch (I/O) located at the rear of the machine. The remote control fits into a cavity on the rear of the machine. The Model 1700 ships with the remote control already screwed in place and can be removed. If it is not already plugged in, plug the remote control into the socket in the cavity on the back of the machine.
