  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. Introduction The Cobra 3.1 is a powerful fog generator, that sets new Standards concerning noise and handling. With its novel nozzle, that can be unscrewed and cleaned as needed, the machine is very silent - the noise level at full output is 82.5 dBA. The use of two pumps ensures a very constant fog output at any pump level. The Touchscreen makes the handling of the Cobra 3.1 easy and intuitive. Beside the analog and DMX 512 control, the machine can also be operated via Ethernet (Artnet and sACN). Furthermore, the Cobra 3.1 has an internal working hours counter, that saves heating and fogging durations. A Firmware update can be made by the customer. The machine is supplied with a duct adaptor that also functions as a protection against contact. Please read the manual carefully before starting the device to ensure a correct ope- ration!
  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    2. Safety instructions A fog machine is not a toy! • Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. Danger of getting burnt. • Occasionally very hot droplets of fluid may escape when in operation. Thus never aim at persons directly and keep a minimum distance of 3 m to the nozzle. • Never touch the nozzle when in operation. Danger of getting burnt. • The location for the machine must be non-flammable, non-combustible and not sensitive to heat. It has to be twice as big as the machine. • Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to all flammable, combustible objects and objects sensitive to heat. • Glycol is alcohol and burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible flame. Never point the fog at strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects. • Never open the machine and leave the machine unattended when connected to a power supply. • It is only allowed to fly/hang the machine by using the original hanging set. • The visibility has to be more than 2 m in rooms where people walk around. • Do not swallow the fog fluid. Keep it away from children. In case of eye contact, rinse with a lot of water. Consult a doctor should you have accidentally swallowed some fluid. • Spilled fluid or splashed fluid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the fluid and dispose of it according to regulations. • Fog may activate smoke detectors. Artificially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method used here to produce fog, with a device which works according to the vaporizer principle, is the most harmless one.

  • Page 13: Working With Sources

    5. Operating the Cobra 3.1 5.5 Working with sources In version 3 of Cobra 3.1, the previous hierarchical system is replaced by a system with source selection, which is based on the source selection on a TV, for example. Fig.. 6: Menu Sources Basically, a set source is used until it is changed on the device. However, there are some exceptions to this rule: 1. DMX is selected as source If the DMX signal is lost and the analog remote control is used, the source is automatically changed to analog. 2. Analog is selected as source When the machine receives a DMX signal again, the source is automatically changed to 3. Timer is selected as source When the machine receives a DMX signal again, the source is automatically changed to 4. Manual operation via display Manual operation is only possible if the selected source is not active. If it becomes active, manual operation is automatically terminated.
  • Page 14: Manual Operation

    5. Operating the Cobra 3.1 5.5.1 Manual operation If no source is active, the device can be operated manually via the main menu. The desired amount of fog can be set via the slider. The quantity can be adjusted in single steps with the + and - keys. If fogging is possible, the Start button is highlighted and can be tapped. While the machine is fogging, Stop is displayed on this button. Tapping it causes the fogging process to stop. Slider Fig. 7: Manual operation Please note that the selected pump characteristic has an influence on the fog quantity. This means that even when manually set to 100%, less fog may be produced. For more information, see section 5.6.1. If Continuous is set as the pump characteristic, the display is limited to 30%. 5.5.2 Operating via DMX The source setting DMX is the default of the machine. The main menu displays the current DMX address and the status of the DMX connection.

  • Page 35: Cleaning, Care And Maintenance

    7. Cleaning, Care and Maintenance - Make sure that the ventilation slots are not clogged with dust deposits. If necessary, clean the ventilation slots (also underneath the machine). - Avoid overheating the unit by maintaining the operating ambient temperature. For example, do not let spotlights shine directly on the unit. - Avoid running the Cobra 3.1 without fluid. Otherwise the pump will run dry. - Wipe up leaked fluid immediately. Moisture - including fluid - can destroy the electronics. - Check the condition of the sinter filter from time to time, clean or replace if necessary. - If the same fluid canister is used frequently, you should rinse it thoroughly before filling with fresh fluid. This will prevent contamination and premature deterioration of the fluid. - If the Cobra 3.1 is permanently installed, ensure that a mist-free air supply is permanently guaranteed. Cooling air with too high a mist concentration can condense in the machine and cause electrical damage. The tank holder can be unscrewed for permanent installation. Caution: The difference in height between the external canister and the machine should not exceed 1.5 metres, otherwise the pump cannot suck in the fluid! - If necessary, clean the surface of the machine with a suitable, solvent-free cleaning agent (e.g. PURE Equipment Cleaner).
