Frequently Asked Questions - AF-14 Antari

What type of fluid should I use with the Antari AF-14?

Use only water-based fog fluid specifically designed for fog machines. Avoid oil-based or homemade fluids as they may damage the heating element.

How long does it take to heat up?

The AF-14 typically takes 4-5 minutes to reach operating temperature. The indicator light will show when it's ready.

Why is my AF-14 producing little or no fog?

Check if the fluid tank is empty, the heating element is fully warmed up, and the output level is set high enough. Also ensure the remote control is properly connected and functioning.

How do I clean the AF-14?

After each use, run a mixture of distilled water through the machine to flush out any residual fluid. Clean the outside with a soft, dry cloth.

Can I use the AF-14 outdoors?

Yes, but only in sheltered areas protected from wind, rain, and extreme temperatures. Always keep the machine on a stable, level surface.

How does the timer control work?

The timer function allows you to set fog output intervals. Adjust the timer dial to control how long the fog is emitted and the interval between bursts.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Never point the nozzle at people or animals. Keep the machine away from flammable materials and do not block the ventilation openings. The fog may be hot during emission.

How do I replace the fuse?

Disconnect the unit from power, locate the fuse holder on the rear panel, and replace the fuse with one of the same rating (usually 8A). Consult the manual for exact specifications.

Can I repair the heating element myself?

Replacing the heating element is possible but requires technical skill. It is recommended to contact a qualified technician or the Antari service center to avoid hazards.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule?

Clean the fluid tank and flush the system after every 10-15 hours of use. Inspect the power cord and remote control for damage regularly.

The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture, and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP55 rated machine is designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (5), and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).

Appendix I - Grounding Instruction

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
