Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction The Orka deLuxe is probably the most powerful touring machine on the market. Built into a robust flight case with a powerful fan, the Orka deLuxe is ready for any use. New features make it even easier to use - placing and fogging without wasting a lot of time setting and preparing. The new 20L flat tank can be filled conveniently and easily, guaranteeing a longer ope- rating time. The castor dishes allow for easy and safe stacking and stowing of the equipment. The performance of the machine allows applications from clubs to large halls, festivals, stadiums and events, as well as use for airflow or leak testing in large buildings and tunnels. The intended use of the device is to create artificial fog. -

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. -

7. Troubleshooting The fog machine does not fog • Check external control signals • Check mains supply • Check fluid tank (empty?) • Check for correct connections at the fluid bottle • Check for fluid in the fluid tube • Check if the tank lid is clogged • Disconnect the filter mat on the right side of the machine and check through the grille, whether the display shows a malfuntion code (f.e. E - 1). If yes, please contact your dealer for further information. The fog machine fogs uncontrollably • Check mains supply • Check unit for moisture (moisture inside the machine, especially on the PCB can cause fogging) The fog machine switches off suddenly • The „ Temperature cutout“ has switched off due to overheating. Remove external heat source (for instance lamps shining right onto the housing) and ensure fresh air supply. After 15 to 30 minutes the unit should switch back to „ on“ again. Loud droning sound during fogging • The pump is running dry. Avoid this absolutely! • Refill the fluid bottle • Double check connection fluid tube and fluid bottle. -
