HEAVY FOG GLACIATOR

INTRODUCTION

The Heavy Fog Glaciator X-Stream is the latest product in the new
generation range of JEM professional machines. Designed for touring and
installation in a variety of applications, it has provision for easy integration
into most common control systems currently used in the entertainment
industry. As well as providing remote control options via DMX, the machine
comes with a comprehensive control panel for local operation and display of
operating parameters.
The Heavy Fog effect is provided by cooling the smoke output from the main
heat exchanger until it is at a temperature lower than the ambient in which
the machine is operating. Air is added to the smoke, prior to cooling, from
the fan mounted in the rear of the machine. This increases the volume of the
effect and allows the output to be pushed through ducting.
A fluid container with 5L capacity (1.3US Gal.) is provided for Heavy Fog
fluid. To allow reliable unattended operation, the fluid level is monitored
electronically, and the machine shut down if necessary.
All machines come with robust carrying handles, and heavy duty braked
castors. A ducting adaptor as an accessory.

BASIC FAULT FINDING
The Heavy Fog Glaciator is a complex machine and will require a competent
service technician to repair any major faults. However, the following guide
will allow the user to overcome the more common problems.
SYMPTOM
CAUSE
