Frequently Asked Questions - FT50 Antari

What fluid to use with the FT-50?

Use exclusively Antari FLP-700 fog fluid. Using other fluids may damage the machine and void the warranty.

How to turn on the machine?

Plug the power cable into a grounded outlet, then set the switch to ON. The LED blinks green during preheating (about 7.5 minutes). When it stays on, the machine is ready.

Can the FT-50 be used wirelessly?

Yes, once hot, you can unplug it. It then operates autonomously for up to 45 minutes. If the fog becomes thin and blue, plug it back in to reheat.

How to adjust the fog volume?

Turn the rotary regulator: left to increase, right to decrease the flow.

Why is the machine not producing fog?

Check that the machine is properly plugged in, the switch is in ON position, the aerosol can is correctly screwed on, and the preheating is complete. If the problem persists, press the button on the handle.

How to maintain the FT-50?

Regularly clean the ventilation openings with an air compressor or soft brush. Use a dry cloth for the exterior. Before storage, rinse the circuit with distilled water.

What to do in case of overheating?

Immediately turn off the machine and unplug it. Check that the air vents are not blocked. Let it cool before reuse. If the problem persists, contact your Antari dealer.

How to replace the fuse?

Unplug the machine. Open the fuse compartment and replace it with a fuse of the same type: for 120 V, a 15 A / 250 V fuse; for 230 V, an 8 A / 250 V fuse.

What safety precautions to follow?

Place the machine on a flat surface with at least 50 cm of free space around it. Use a grounded outlet. Never leave the machine unattended. Do not mix flammable liquids with the fog fluid.

What to do if fluid is leaking from the nozzle?

This indicates that the machine has not reached its operating temperature. Wait for the preheating to finish (solid green LED). If the problem persists, check that the aerosol can is properly attached.

Product Overview

Operation

Step 1: Place the machine on a flat surface and in a suitably large area with at least 50 ~cm open space around the machine.

Step 2: Ensure that there aren't any foreign objects obstructing the threaded aerosol insert. Align aerosol valve with threaded insert and carefully turn clockwise to fix into position. Aerosol should be screwed in tightly to create an effective seal

Step 3: Connect the machine to a suitably rated power supply. To determine the power requirement for the machine refer to the label on the back of the machine.

Always connect the machine to a protected circuit and ensure it is properly grounded to avoid risk of electrocution.

Step 4: Turn on the machine and allow it to heat up. Heat up takes approximately 7.5 mintues. Once the machine has reached operating temperature, the LED inidicator located in back panel will turn solid green. Now the machine is ready for operation.

Step 5: To start making fog, press and hold the push button on handle bar, release to stop.

Step 6: To adjust output volume, rotate the knob located in back panel. Turn counter-clockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease.

Step 7: To turn off the machine, flip the power switch to OFF position. Remove aerosol and power cord.

Off Power Operation

FT-50 can be operating off the main power once it has reached working temperature. The amount of smoke can be produced depends on its temperature cycle when it is disconnected. With a complete heating cycle the machine can still generate smoke up to 45 minutes after disconnection.

The quality of fog must be carefully observed while operating off the reserved power. When smoke has become thin and blue indicates the temperature is getting low. Reconnect machine to power for heating process, once it reached working temperature it can be operate off power again.

FT-50 might eject fluid when working temperature is not reached.

Aerosols

Only use Antari FLP-700 aerosol for the FT-50 Fire Training Fog Machine.

The machine is tested and calibrated with this aerosol to get the best output performance. Warranty will be voided if any other type of aerosol is used, improper use of aerosol may lead to machine failure and malfunction.

Service and Maintenance

• Do not allow the machine to become contaminated.
• Remove dust from air vents with air compressor, vacuum or a soft brush.
• Only use a damp cloth to clean the casing.
• Before storing run distilled water through the system to help avoid condensing the pump or heater.
• It is recommended to run the machine on a monthly basis in order to achieve best performance and output condition.
• Excessive dust, liquid, and dirt built up will degrade performance and cause overheating.

Breaker Reset

Disconnect AC power before resetting the breaker. Only replace fuse with same type and rating.

Step 1: Disconnect AC power.

Step 2: Flip breaker to ON position.

Step 3: Turn on machine for testing.
