Frequently Asked Questions - Pandora 500 TTL BeamZ

What type of fog fluid should I use?

Use only water-based fog fluid specifically designed for fog machines. Avoid oil-based fluids as they can damage the heating element. High-quality fluid ensures optimal performance and longevity.

How do I clean the fog machine after use?

Run a mixture of distilled water and a small amount of cleaning solution (like vinegar) through the system. Empty the tank after cleaning. Regular cleaning prevents clogging and extends the life of the machine.

Why does the machine stop producing fog?

Common causes: empty fluid tank, clogged nozzle, or the machine is still warming up. Check the fluid level and allow 5-10 minutes for heating. If problem persists, inspect the pump and heating element. Consult the manual for troubleshooting.

Can I control the fog machine via DMX?

Yes, the Pandora 500 TTL can be controlled with DMX512. Use a DMX controller set to the same address as the machine. Refer to the DMX section in the manual for addressing and configuration. DMX control allows precise timing and integration with lighting shows.

What is the warm-up time?

The warm-up time is approximately 5 minutes. A green LED indicator will show when the machine is ready. Do not operate before the preheat cycle is complete to avoid poor fog output.

Can I use water instead of fog fluid?

No, water alone will not produce fog. The machine requires special fog fluid that vaporizes into a dense mist. Using water may damage the heater and voids the warranty. Always use recommended fluid.

How do I adjust the fog output volume?

Use the wired remote control or DMX settings to adjust output. Some models have a knob on the back for manual control. The output can be set to continuous or burst mode. Volume control allows subtle to heavy fog effects.

What do the LED indicators mean?

Power LED (red) indicates power on. Ready LED (green) lights when heated to operating temperature. A flashing yellow LED may signal a fault or low fluid. Refer to the manual for specific indicator patterns.

How should I store the machine when not in use?

Empty the fluid tank and run the pump with distilled water to remove residue. Allow the machine to cool completely, then store in a dry, dust-free place. Proper storage prevents internal damage and ensures reliability.

Is it safe to use the fog machine outdoors?

Yes, but avoid rain or excessive moisture. Ensure the machine is on a stable, level surface and protected from wind. Outdoor use may reduce fog density. Monitor weather conditions for safe operation.

DMX-512 CONNECTION

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. If you wish to connect a DMX controller with other XLR outputs you will need to use adapter cables.

1 = Shield

2 = Signal (-)

3 = Signal (+)

DMX Output DMX Input 3-Pin XLR Socket 3-Pin XLR Socket

Connect the DMX output of the first unit in a DMX chain with the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected. If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.

Caution at the unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between Signal (-) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last unit in the chain.
