Frequently Asked Questions - HQHZ10001 HQ Power

How to fill the smoke fluid tank?

Remove the tank, take off the cap, pour in smoke fluid (high-density fluid recommended), then close the cap. Put the tank back into the device, making sure the plastic tube is not bent or pinched.

How to use the wired remote?

Plug the remote into the designated input (no. 3). The remote has a MANUAL button for continuous smoke output while pressed, and INTERVAL, DURATION, OUTPUT and TIMER ON/OFF buttons for timer mode. Make sure the smoke output button on the back of the device is turned off when using timer mode.

How to set the timer (programmed mode)?

On the remote, press TIMER ON/OFF to activate the timer. Use the INTERVAL button (interval between outputs, from 1 to 200 s) and DURATION button (duration of each output, from 1 to 200 s) to set the cycle. The machine will emit smoke automatically.

How to clean the fog machine?

Unplug the device and let it cool down. Empty the tank. Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth for the housing and external lenses. Never immerse the device in any liquid. Let all parts dry before reconnecting.

What safety distances must be observed?

Install the device at least 12 m from any flammable object and at least 3 m between the smoke outlet and the illuminated surface. Do not cover the lens and leave 15 cm of clearance around the ventilation slots.

How to connect the machine using DMX?

Connect a DMX cable to the DMX input of the machine and the output of a controller. Press FUNCTION several times until DMX512 ADD is displayed, then select the start address (1 to 512) with the arrows. Make sure the addresses do not overlap. If the cable is long, use a termination resistor (120 Ω between pins 2 and 3).

What to do if the machine does not turn on?

Check the power supply, the power cord and the fuse. If the fuse has blown, replace it with a F5A type fuse. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

Can I use any smoke fluid?

It is recommended to use a high-density fog machine fluid (ref. VDLHLH5) for better performance and to avoid damaging the device. Do not use unsuitable fluids.

How long does it take for the machine to be ready?

After power-up, the machine heats up for about 3 minutes. The display shows READY TO FOG when the operating temperature is reached.

How to activate the fluid level sensor?

Access the menu by pressing FUNCTION several times until FLUID SENSOR is displayed. Use the arrows to select ON to activate the sensor, which will prevent the machine from operating if the tank is empty.

Preparing your Haze Machine

1. Remove the fluid tank from its compartment. Also, remove the cap.
2. Verify that the plastic hoses attached to the cap are in place and in good condition.
3. Pour fog fluid into the tank and close the tank.
4. Replace the tank into its compartment. Make sure the plastic hose entering the haze machine from the fluid tank is not bent or kinked.
5. Connect the haze machine to the mains, switch it on and let it warm up. The haze machine is ready-to-use after approximately 7 to 8 minutes.

In any operation mode, the display must read READY TO FOG to output fog.

Start-Up

1. Make sure the haze machine is switched off before connecting it to the mains.
2. Switch on the haze machine.
3. Press .
4. Adjust the fog output volume with or .

DMX Configuration

To set the haze machine in DMX mode:

1. Connect the haze machine to the mains, switch it on and let it warm up.
2. Connect a DMX cable to the DMX input of the haze machine and the DMX output of a controller (not included).
3. To activate the DMX function, press repeatedly until DMX512 ADD is displayed. Select the start address from 1 to 512 with or .

Make sure that the starting address of the interconnected haze machines do not overlap.

A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.

Setting the Output Volume

1. Press repeatedly until VOLUME OUT is displayed.
2. Select the desired output volume (1-100 % or non-stop) with or .
3. Press to confirm.
4. Press again to trigger the fog at the set output.

The haze machine will memorize the set output after switch-off. To reset the fog output, repeat the steps above.

Activating the Fluid Sensor

The integrated fluid sensor measures the fluid level in the tank. To activate the fluid sensor:

1. Press repeatedly until FLUID SENSOR is displayed.
2. Select ON with or .
3. Select OFF with or to deactivate the fluid sensor.

Setting the Fan

1. Press repeatedly until FAN SET is displayed.
2. Select ON with or .
3. Select OFF with or to deactivate the fan.

Timer Mode

In timer mode, the haze machine will output fog in pre-configured time intervals (see Timer Mode Parameters below).

1. Press until a timer is displayed.
2. The haze machine starts outputting fog when the counter reaches zero (0).
3. Set the timer duration in the DURATION SET menu option; set the output volume in the TIMER OUT menu option.
4. The cycle repeats itself until you press again or until the haze machine runs out of fluid.

Manual Mode

In manual mode, the haze machine will output fog for as long as the button remains pressed. The output volume will be at 100 % output volume.

1. Keep pressed to output fog.
2. Release to stop the fog output.

Time Mode Parameters

These parameters determine the interval and output volume in timer mode.

1. Press repeatedly until INTERVAL SET is displayed.
2. Select the interval time (1-200 sec.) with or .
3. Press repeatedly until DURATION SET is displayed.
4. Select the duration time (1-200 sec.) with or .
5. Press repeatedly until TIMER OUT is displayed.
6. Select the desired output volume (1-100 % or non-stop) with or .

When the haze machine is connected to a DMX controller, this controller will take priority to the on-board control panel of the haze machine. Remove the DMX cable before using the on-board control panel.
