Manwal għall-Utent tal-Magni taċ-ċpar Antari Z-3000II

1. Introduzzjoni

The Antari Z-3000II is a high-performance fog machine designed for professional applications requiring significant fog output and precise control. This unit features a high-efficiency power control system, which contributes to energy savings, and an electronic low fluid detector to prevent damage when the fluid reservoir is low. It offers versatile control options including a Z-20 LCD control module and DMX 512 connectivity.

This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, setup, and maintenance of your Antari Z-3000II Fog Machine.

2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the machine. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the unit.

• Always connect the machine to a grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the machine's requirements (220V).
• Use only Antari-approved fog fluid. Using other fluids may cause damage to the machine and void the warranty.
• Tħaddimx il-magna jekk il-korda tal-enerġija tkun bil-ħsara.
• Keep the machine away from flammable materials. Maintain adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Do not touch the nozzle during operation or immediately after, as it becomes very hot.
• Kun żgur li l-magna titqiegħed fuq wiċċ stabbli u livell.
• Timblokkax il-fetħiet tal-ventilazzjoni.
• Żomm fejn ma jintlaħaqx mit-tfal.

3. Setup

3.1 Disimballaġġ

Carefully remove the fog machine from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the packaging for future storage or shipping.

3.2 Fluid Reservoir Filling

1. Kun żgur li l-magna tkun mitfija u splaggjata.
2. Locate the fluid reservoir cap on top of the machine.
3. Unscrew the cap and carefully pour Antari-approved fog fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill.
4. Erġa' poġġi l-għatu sew.

The image below shows the Antari Z-3000II with its fluid reservoir visible.

3.3 Tqegħid

Place the fog machine on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it directly against walls or in enclosed spaces. The fog output should be directed away from people and sensitive equipment.

3.4 Konnessjonijiet tal-Enerġija u l-Kontroll

• Connect the power cord to a suitable 220V grounded power outlet.
• For manual control, connect the Z-20 LCD control module to the designated port on the machine.
• For DMX control, connect a DMX cable (3-pin or 5-pin XLR) from your DMX controller to the DMX IN port on the fog machine. If daisy-chaining multiple DMX devices, connect from the DMX OUT port to the next device's DMX IN.

4. Operazzjoni

4.1 Ixgħel u Tisħin

1. Ensure all connections are secure and the fluid reservoir is filled.
2. Ixgħel is-swiċċ tal-enerġija li jinsab fuq il-magna.
3. The machine will begin its warm-up cycle. This typically takes several minutes. The Z-20 LCD control module will indicate when the machine is ready for operation.

4.2 Using the Z-20 LCD Control Module

The Z-20 LCD control module allows for precise control over fog output. You can set the volume and timing parameters from 1% to 100% output.

• Kontroll tal-Volum: Adjusts the intensity of the fog output.
• Kontroll tat-Tajmer: Sets the duration and interval of fog bursts.
• Refer to the Z-20 LCD control module's specific instructions for detailed programming.

4.3 Kontroll tad-DMX

The Antari Z-3000II utilizes 1 DMX channel for control. Consult your DMX controller's manual for setting up DMX addresses and programming scenes.

• The DMX address is typically set via the Z-20 LCD control module or DIP switches on the machine.
• A DMX value of 0 will result in no fog output. Increasing the DMX value will increase the fog output intensity.

4.4 Low Fluid Detection

The machine is equipped with an electronic low fluid detector. When the fluid level becomes critically low, the system will automatically reduce pump power and eventually stop pumping to prevent damage to the heating element. Refill the fluid reservoir promptly when this occurs.

The image below illustrates the fog output from the Antari Z-3000II.

5. Manutenzjoni

5.1 Tindif

• Barra: Imsaħ il-barra tal-magna b'artab, damp drapp. Tużax tindif jew solventi li joborxu.
• Internal System: For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to run a cleaning solution (Antari Fog Machine Cleaner) through the system periodically, especially if the machine will be stored for an extended period. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning solution.

5.2 Fluid Type

Always use high-quality, water-based fog fluid specifically designed for fog machines. Antari recommends using their own brand of fog fluid for best results and to ensure the longevity of your machine.

5.3 Ħażna

When storing the machine, ensure it is clean and dry. If storing for a long period, run cleaning fluid through the system first. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
