Preventing burns and fire

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Preventing burns and fire - 1

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Preventing burns and fire - 2

  • The smoke produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally. Keep people and objects at least 1 meter (39 inches) away from the smoke output nozzle.
  • Do not touch the smoke output nozzles during or after use – they become extremely hot and remain hot for several hours after the machine have been shut down.
  • Smoke output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an almost invisible blue flame. Do not point smoke output at sources of ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
  • Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
  • Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this manual for the machine.
  • Provide a minimum free space of 100mm (4 inches) around the machine.
  • Provide a minimum free space of 500mm (20 inches) around fans and air vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the machine.
  • Keep the machine at least 600mm (24 inches) away from combustible and heat-sensitive materials.
  • Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°C (41°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
  • Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.

Preventing injuries

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Preventing injuries - 1

  • Ensure that the surface on which the machine is located or installed can safely hold the weight of the machine.
  • Do not install the machine over areas where people are present.
  • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
  • Verify that the machine's temperature setting is suitable for the type of fluid in use whenever changing fluid or resetting the default menu values.
  • Smoke machines can cause condensation. Do not point the output at smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.
  • Ensure at least 2m visibility in areas where smoke is being produced.
  • Smoke fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution but may present health risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye contact occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and obtain medical advice.

Preventing breathing problems

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Preventing breathing problems - 1

  • A smoke machine can operate safely only with the smoke fluid it is designed for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Smoke fluid options” on page 19 or you may cause the release of toxic gases, presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the machine.
  • Do not create dense smoke in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
  • Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or respiratory conditions such as asthma) to smoke output.
  • Do not point smoke output directly at a person's face or at face height.

Quick Start

You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot of fog. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual.

Setting up

Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the smoke output. Read the “Installation” section before rigging the machine from suspension points.

Fill the fluid tank with JEM-approved fluid (see page 19).

Connect a suitably rated power supply to the machine. The machine requires 13.1A at 230V (EU) or 11.8A at 208V (US).

Turn on the Standby switch. The display will show HERT for about 8-12 minutes and will then change to RYY (Ready).

Making fog

You can then use the Timer or Continuous switches on the back of the machine or the buttons on the remote (optional accessory) to turn on the fog output.

If no fog is produced, check that the FOG option is not set to 0% (see page 13) and that if using Timer mode the TRUN setting is not set to 0. Also check that the machine has fluid.

Installation and setting up

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Installation and setting up - 1

DANGER! DO NOT operate the Roadie Compact until you have read and observed all the precautions listed under "Safety information" on page 3.

Location

The Roadie Compact may be located on the floor or may be suspended using the rigging points.

The machine can operate in any orientation from horizontal (on its wheels) to vertical (resting on its back firing upwards into the air). If using the machine vertically the smoke fluid bottle must be turned round in the fluid compartment so that the outlet remains on top.

The maximum downward tilt is 35 degrees (unless using an external fluid line) as steeper angles may cause fluid leakage.

If the machine is to be suspended, a qualified rigger must be employed to ensure the machine is rigged safely. Do not suspend the machine over areas where people will be underneath.

Ensure that there is at least 100mm clearance all round the machine, 500mm clearance round the fan intake and at least 600mm in front of the smoke output.

AC power

Before using the machine, a grounding-type (earthed) power plug that fits the local power outlets must be obtained locally and installed on the power cable.

XLR socket Display XLR socket (on rear) Timer button Fog button

Functions

The remote control provides the following functions:

  • Fog button: turns fog output on and off. Press once to start fog and again to stop.
  • Timer button: turns the fog timer on and off.
    • Fog level setting (FOG = 0 -100%)
    • Fan speed setting (FAN = 0 -100%)
    • Timer run time/off time settings (TRUN, TOFF = 0 - 90 seconds)
  • Run mode (RUN = OFF, STBY, FAN, TIME, CONT)
    • Head temperature setting (TEMP = LOW, NORM, HIGH)

The functions are the same as on the built in control panel and are described on page 13.

The RUN menu duplicates the functions of the Standby, Fan, Timer and Continuous Fog quick-access switches on the rear of the machine. The Fog and Timer buttons on the remote are simply a quick way to control this menu function.

Connection

The remote control has two identical XLR sockets on the top and back for connection to the Roadie Compact. Plug the cable provided with the remote control into one of these sockets and into the XLR socket labelled REMOTE on the rear panel of the Roadie Compact.

The remote control is powered through its cable by the Roadie Compact; no batteries are required.

The cable may be extended to up to 25 m (82 ft.) with a 3-pin XLR DMX cable, available from your Jem dealer.

Overview

DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512 standard may be used to control and program the fog output of the Roadie Compact.

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Overview - 1

When a DMX signal is present, the Roadie Compact's stand-alone functions do not work. To fire the unit from the control panel or remote control, the DMX controller must be powered off or disconnected.

Connection

The Roadie Compact provides both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets on the rear panel of the base for DMX connection. The sockets are interconnected: a DMX line connected to the 3-pin IN socket may be continued through the 5-pin OUT socket and vice versa. Do not, however, attempt to split a DMX line by using both the 3-pin and 5-pin OUT sockets.

For best results, use cable designed for high speed digital data transmission. Suitable DMX cable is available from your Jem dealer.

DMX functions

The Roadie Compact's address setting must match the DMX address allocated to it on the controller. To set the address, see "Setting the DMX base address" on page 14. The Roadie Compact requires two DMX channels.

DMX channel function

1Fog density 0-100%
2Fan speed 0-100% and Shutdown

Channel 1 uses the full range 0-255 for fog density control. Channel 2 has the following control values.

DMX value function

0-244Fan speed 0-100%, heaters on
245-255machine shutdown, heaters off

For example if the Roadie Compact is set to DMX address 100, channel 1 will be controlled by address 100 and channel 2 will be controlled by address 101.

When the machine is at running temperature and is under DMX control it displays .

Fog fluid types

The following types of Jem fog fluid are suitable for use in this machine. Each produces a different effect as described below. Jem supplies high quality fog fluids that are based on ultra-pure deionized water. Use only the following genuine Jem fog fluids. No other fluid is suitable for use.

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Fog fluid types - 1

DANGER! The Roadie Compact can run safely only on the specific smoke fluids it is designed for. Use ONLY the Jem smoke fluids designated in this manual. NEVER use any other type of fluid, or toxic gas may be produced. You will probably also cause damage to the system that is not covered by the product warranty. Do not dilute smoke fluid with water or any other liquid. Discard smoke fluid if it becomes contaminated.

Ensure the operating temperature is set to the correct option for the fluid type. See page 14.

Pro Steam Simulation

Pro Steam Simulation fluid is a light fluid that produces well-defined cones of steam that disperse quickly. It is ideal for chase effects and theatrical use. When using Pro Steam Simulation fluid, the operating temperature must be set to LOW.

Regular DJ Fluid (DJ mix)

Regular DJ fluid is an economical fluid that gives a good, medium density smoke well-suited for atmospheric effects. When using DJ mix, the operating temperature must be set to NORM.

Pro Smoke Super (ZR mix)

Pro Smoke Super fluid is a high-quality, general purpose fluid that produces a dense white airborne fog with medium dispersal time. Its medium to high index of refraction permits both good atmospheric effects and denser "white-outs". When using ZR mix, the operating temperature must be set to HIGH.

Pro Smoke High Density (SP mix)

Pro Smoke High Density fluid generates a high density, white, airborne fog with a very high index of refraction and slow evaporation rate. It is well suited for scenic obscuring, dramatic strobe effects, and "white-outs". When using SP mix, the operating temperature must be set to HIGH.

Basic service

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Basic service - 1

Before servicing the Roadie Compact, read and observe all the precautions listed in “Safety information” on page 3. Any service not described in this section must be carried out by a Jem service technician.

Cleaning

Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and dirt buildup will degrade performance and cause overheating and damage to the machine that is not covered by the product warranty. To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the outer casing and air vents of the machine periodically.

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Cleaning - 1

Isolate the machine from power and allow to cool completely before cleaning. The smoke output nozzle remains hot for up to 10 hours after use.

  • Remove dust from the air vents with a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air.
  • Clean smoke fluid residues from the fog output of the machine.
  • Clean the outer casing with a damp cloth only.

Fuse replacement

The main fuse for the Roadie Compact is in a fuse holder located adjacent to the power inlet. To replace the fuse, disconnect the power cord from the supply, unscrew the cap of the fuse holder and pull out the fuse. Remove the spent fuse and replace with one of exactly the same size and rating. The fuse type is indicated on the serial number label. Contact Jem Service if the fuse blows repeatedly.

If the machine partially runs but some features do not operate, one of the internal fuses may have blown. These fuses are located on the power pcb which may be accessed by removing the power inlet panel.

MARTIN JEM Roadie Compact - Fuse replacement - 1

DANGER! Isolate the machine from power before removing any panels. Live electrical parts inside.
