This product has an auto cut-off safety feature to keep the machine from becoming damaged.
This is referring to the operation of the pump. When the fluid tank is empty, the pump will still
operate for a short period of time, until all of the fluid has been removed from the system.
Then, it will sense that there is no fluid, and will automatically stop the fog output. An indication
that this has occurred is when the LED's that are lighting the fluid tank are flashing.
·
This feature takes approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute to engage once the fluid
has emptied from the tank.
·
In order for the fog machine to automatically reset, the trigger must be released
either from the wired remote, wireless remote, the manual fog button on the unit, or
via a DMX controller. If the DMX controller is used, the DMX channel must be
brought to a value of 000 (0%) in order to allow the fog machine to reset itself.
·
Once the tank has been refilled with fog fluid, you may resume using the fog
machine. The auto cut-off will automatically reset.
