  • Page 2: Introduction

    DMX lighting console, or a 0-10 volt signal. The Delta 3000 is part of a system, the other basic component being the full line of Rosco fog fluids. They should always be used together. These unique fluid formulations are safe when used according to instructions.
  • Page 3: Important Safeguards

    Enclosing any heating device so it is invisible to the operator creates a potential fire hazard, no matter what the ambient tempearture of the enclosure. To do so with any high-amperage device is to assume substantial risk. Rosco strongly recommends against it.
  • Page 4 10. Unauthorized repair or alteration of any safety devices can lead to improper operation and accidents. Repairs should be performed only by an authorized Service Center. WARNING: USE OF ANY FLUID OTHER THAN ROSCO FOG FLUIDS OR MODIFICATION OR ATTEMPTED UNAUTHORIZED REPAIR OF THE ROSCO DELTA 3000 WILL IMMEDIATELY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
  • Page 5: General Operating Instructions

    GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW The Delta 3000 fog machine is a unique fog system that consists of a base unit that can operate from any of three remote controls. Because of the variation in operability between the different remotes, there is an operations section for each remote. First follow the General Operating Instructions and then go to the section for the remote that is being used.
  • Page 6 In addition to operating directly from the remote controls and a DMX console, the Rosco Delta 3000 is also equipped to operate from a 0-10 volt input. The input is located on the rear of the machine near the DMX connectors. The 0-10 volt input is wired through an RJ-11 connector.
  • Page 7: Initial Operation

    Follow steps 1-4 above. When first powered the DIGITAL/DMX REMOTE will display a scrolling “ROSCO DELTA 3000 FOG MACHINE” message and then display the Operation Menu. The Operation Menu is the primary interface for operating the Delta 3000.While in the Operation Menu, the LCD will give a “HEATING” message. Note: The DIGITAL/DMX REMOTE will indicate when the fluid container is low on fluid with an alternating message “LOW FLUID LEVEL”...

  • Page 9: Dmx Mode

    Note that the DMX signal can pass through to another device by plugging another cable into the DMX OUT plug. Note: Like any DMX controlled device, if the Delta 3000 is the last device in the DMX line then a terminator plug must be plugged into the DMX OUT connection.
  • Page 10: Analog/Dmx Remote Instructions

    The ANALOG/DMX REMOTE CONTROL is an analog interface that consists of an array of switches and knobs. These allow the Delta 3000 base unit to be operated: manually; from timers; from DMX control; or from a 0-10 volt signal. The timers will allow production of fog for up to 2 minutes with intervals of up to 4 minutes between bursts.
  • Page 11 Note that the DMX signal can pass through to another device by plugging another cable into the DMX OUT plug. Note: Like any DMX controlled device, if the Delta 3000 is the last device in the DMX line then a terminator plug must be plugged into the DMX OUT connection.
  • Page 12: Test Button

    LED marked “LOW FLUID”. Once the Delta 3000 is heated the unit can be tested to see that it is operating properly. The TEST switch is located on the right side of the remote control. If the upper part of the switch is depressed, the Delta will produce fog until the switch is returned to the center position.
  • Page 13 Note that the DMX can pass through to another device by plugging another cable into the DMX OUT plug. Like any DMX controlled device, if the Delta 3000 is the last device in the DMX line then a terminator plug must be plugged into the DMX OUT connection.
