Frequently Asked Questions - Panther 60 BeamZ

How to use the Panther 60 for the first time?

Fill the tank with quality fog fluid. Plug the machine into a mains socket (230 V). Turn it on and wait about 5 minutes for the machine to heat up. The heat indicator light goes off when it is ready. Use the wired remote control to produce fog.

What type of fluid to use?

Use exclusively water-based fog fluid specially designed for effect machines. Never use oil or flammable liquid. BeamZ fluids or equivalent are recommended.

How to clean the machine?

Unplug the machine and let it cool down. Empty the tank. Rinse it with clean water. Run the machine with distilled water to clean the pump and circuit. Dry thoroughly before reuse. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth.

The machine does not produce fog, what to do?

Check that the machine has heated up (heat indicator off). Check the fluid level and the proper connection of the remote control. If the problem persists, clean the pump and circuit. Check the fuse and connections.

Can the machine be used without the remote control?

No, the included wired remote control is necessary to trigger the fog. There is no direct manual button on the machine. In case of loss, contact customer service for a replacement remote control.

How to connect the machine to a DMX controller?

The machine is DMX512 compatible. Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the DMX port of the machine to your controller. Set the DMX address using the DIP switches (see manual). The machine will respond to the corresponding channels.

What is the range of the remote control?

The wired remote control has a range of about 3 meters. It is connected via a jack or XLR cable depending on the model. For remote use, opt for DMX control or an optional wireless remote control.

Does the machine overheat?

The machine has overheating protection. In case of excessive temperature, it turns off automatically. Ensure adequate ventilation (at least 20 cm free space around). Do not use continuously for more than 30 minutes without a break.

What safety precautions to take?

Place the machine on a stable, non-flammable surface. Avoid any contact with the hot nozzle. Do not direct the spray at people, animals, or sensitive surfaces. Unplug before maintenance.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts (pump, tank, electronic board, fuse) are available from authorized BeamZ dealers or by contacting customer service. Check the official website for compatible parts.

NOTE: To make sure that the unit will function normally, it must be used in rooms with a temperature between 5° C/41°F and 35° C/95°F.

Electric products must not be put into household waste. Please bring them to a recycling centre. Ask your local authorities or your dealer about the way to proceed. The specifications are typical. The actual values can slightly change from one unit to the other. Specifications can be changed without prior notice.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTION

CAUTION! Immediately upon receiving a product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damage from shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and packing.

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

POWERSUPPLY

On the label on the backside of the product is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.

Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized employee or dealers!

Attention:

• The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
  • Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
• The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
• The fixture should be installed in the position where persons cannot reach and where persons may walk by or be seated.

CAUTION: When installing the device, make sure there is no highly in inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min 20inch / 0.5 meter.

DISPLAY

The control board offer several features: you can simple set the starting address, run the pre-programmed program or make a reset. The main menu is accessed by pressing the Mode-button, browse through the submenu by pressing Up or Down.

Press the Enter-button in order to select the desired menu.

You can change the selection by pressing Up or Down. Confirm every selection by pressing the Enter-button.

You can leave every mode by pressing the Mode-button. The functions provided are described later in this manual.

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. 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.

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. 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 fixture in the chain.

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.

FIXTURE CLEANING

The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit's optics.

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
• Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.
- The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.
- In order to protect the fixture from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.

- The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.

- Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.

• Always dry the parts carefully.

- Clean the external optics at least every month. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.

ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified worker!
