* Transmitter:

Antari W530D - * Transmitter: - 1

With the transmitter it is possible to emit fog via radio over a distance of up to 50 meters. The transmitter is compatible to any receiver of the W-series and can control an unlimited number of machines in parallel.

Press the button "A", to emit fog. The button "A" has the same function as the button VOLUME on the control panel, i.e. the fog output depends on the setting of menu item Volume Output . The display indicates Volume followed by the defined value or NONSTOPBURST when continuous fog output was selected. As additional control, the blue LED light. To stop the fog output, press the button "B".

* Receiver:

Antari W530D - * Receiver: - 1

The receiver is tested and pre-attached to the rear panel of each W-series model. Please do not try to remove it. The receiver responds to up to 5 different transmitters that are registered with the machine. The included transmitter has been registered to the machine before shipment. It can be directly operated without any start-up setting.

- Registering transmitters

To operate the machine with a different transmitter than the included one, or to operate it with up to 5 different transmitters, each transmitter must be registered first. For this purpose, turn on the machine. When the display indicates » Wireless Detect...«, press the button "A" 1 second on each transmitter. Thus the previous transmitters are cleared from the memory of the receiver. The setting must be completed within 15 seconds at indication » Wireless Detect...«.

If no transmitter is registered when the machine is switched on, the memory of the receiver will keep the record of the previous operation.

Setting Example 1:

In order to register several transmitters with a machine, turn on the machine. When the display indicates « Wireless Detect...«, press the button “A”1 second on each transmitter within 15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.

Setting Example 2:

In order to use 1 transmitter to control 2 or more machines, turn on the machines at the same time. When the display indicates » Wireless Detect...«, press the button “A” 1 second on the transmitter within 15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.

- Battery change on the transmitter

If the range of the transmitter decreases, the battery is probably exhausted and must be replaced. For this purpose, take off the housing cover and remove the used battery. Insert a fresh 12V battery, type 27A as indicated in the battery compartment and refit the housing cover.

DMX Connector Pin Assignment

The machine provides 3 or 5 pin XLR connector for DMX connection. The diagram below indicates pin assignment information

Antari W530D - DMX Connector Pin Assignment - 1

Antari W530D - DMX Connector Pin Assignment - 2

DMX512 Settings

Channel A

Antari W530D - DMX512 Settings - 1

0 - 5 = off (no output)

6 - 255 = output volume control (1 - 100 % output)

Both models are equipped with a DMX512 system. For connecting a DMX controller, 3-pin and 5-pin male-female XLR connections are provided at the back of each machine. The machines use one control channel for adjusting the output volume. The channel has a DMX value range of 0 to 255. After connecting a DMX controller, timer functions such as output duration and interval can be programmed using the DMX controller or the DMX control software. The machine cannot be controlled via the built-in control panel nor the W-1 wireless remote anymore. By using the DMX protocol, fog machines, lighting effects, and other special effects machines can be interconnected and easily controlled.

If channel A has a value from 0 to 5, the unit is off.

Between the values 6 to 255 the fog output volume is regulated. With 6 being the minimum output volume and 255 approaching the maximum output volume. The output volume rises as the DMX value is increased.

Note: If, for example, the machine is assigned to the DMX address 124, channel A corresponds to DMX address 124.

Note

If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check the fluid level, the external fuse, the connection to the remote control, and power from the wall. If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If fog does not come out after holding the remote button down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue pushing the remote button, as this may damage the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer.

Performance Note

All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in some moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this condensation when installing your unit.

All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a minute or so after being turned off.

All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself down for a short period in order to heat up again. During this time no fog can be produced.

Cleaning and Storage

Do not allow the fog liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the cap on the fog liquid container and the fog machine liquid tank immediately after filling. Cleaning your fog machine regularly can help you to reduce the frequency of parts replacement and maintenance costs. After every 40 hours of continuous

operation, it is recommended to use distilled water to clean the heater according to the steps below.

  1. Fill properly distilled water into a clean tank and connect the fluid tube of the fog machine to the tank.
  2. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty.
  3. Use dry a cloth to wipe the fog machine. Cleaning is now complete. Refill with fog liquid. Run the machine briefly to clear any remaining liquid from the pump and heater.

Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use.

Clean with a dry cloth only. Store dry.

If the fog machine is not in use, please clean it before storage. Store the fog machine in a dry and cool place. Operate the fog machine at least once a month. A test-run consists of warming-up the machine followed by a few minutes of fog emission.

The signal has a 1s period, that goes low in 100ms steps to indicate repepon rate:

100% recepton: High

90% recepon: 900ms high, 100ms low

60% recepon 600ms high, 400ms low

1) The low passIter should iter pulses that are up to 50 us long. Pin 9 can drive up to 0.5mA and for Iter purpose, there is a 330ohm resistor on the PCB between the driver and the pin.

There will be a pulse for each received radio package, if the pulse is high or low depends on the current signal level, there will be an error of up to 2 pulses for each second, so the error is negligible if the recepon is measured with pulse counting.

LED Overlay Interface, G5 cards For the G5 cards with SPI functionality (two pinheaders).

It is possible to implement a display interface similar to the one used on the W-DMX BlackBox/WhiteBox range.

The overlay interface consists of an SPI interface that shis out data for the LEDs as described below. To avoid icker a latched shi register is recommended.

The SPI speed is 2.5MHz and Overlay CS is pulled high before the output start and pulled low aer the SPI output has ended, SCK and MOSI is output signals.
