Using the auto-timer:
This feature allows the machine to produce smoke automatically for a programmable period
of time called the duration and then continuously repeat this smoke duration by a
programmable cycle . Both duration, cycle and smoke level are stored in the Magnum Pro
2000 memory, not in the remote control unit. Follow the listed example below to get familiar
with this feature:
Adjust the smoke output potentiometer to medium smoke emission.
Press the smoke button for approximately 3 seconds.
Wait 7 seconds and then press the timer store button to store the sequence.
Assuming that the READY LED is on, the Magnum Pro 2000 will now produce smoke at
medium level for 3 seconds, wait 7 seconds and then produce smoke for another 3 seconds
etc. In this example, the duration is 3 seconds and the cycle 10 seconds (duration + pause
= 3 + 7 = 10). The maximum cycle length programmable is approximately 1 hour at a
resolution of approximately 1/10 of a second.
As mentioned above, the auto-timer sequence is stored in the memory and will not be
cleared when disconnecting the machine from mains power. Switched on the machine will
automatically start executing the sequence as soon the READY LED turns on. Adjusting the
smoke output potentiometer will not affect the performance of the auto-timer. You can still
produce smoke manually by pressing the smoke button on the remote control unit and in
case this level is higher than the memory level, it will override the memory level.
To terminate the auto-timer sequence, press the timer store button for 5 seconds. This will
clear the memory.

OPERATING VIA A 0-10 VOLT SOURCE

Basically, operation via a 0-10 Volt signal is similar to operation via the remote control unit,
since the voltage level in this case determines the function. You will need to unplug the
remote control unit and connect your analog source to the XLR control input on the back of
the machine. Before connecting you must ensure that GND (ground) on your analog source
will connect to pin 1 on the XLR control input and that the +0-10V output on your analog
source will connect to pin 3 on the XLR control input.
