• After connecting to the power supply, “Welcome to Cameo”, the model designation, and the software version will display one after the other. At the same time, the vaporizer will heat up (approx. 7 minutes), during which “Heating ...” will be shown on the display; system settings can be applied as needed during this time.

• After the heating phase is complete, “Ready!” will display briefly and then the operating mode previously selected will activate.

• When the heating phase is complete, fog will only release when the main screen shows one of the available operating modes (DMX, Stand Alone, Timer, Slave mode); the fog discharge halts as soon as one of the menu options is chosen from the options menu or submenu.

• Do not operate the fog machine without fog fluid! When the canister runs out during use, the fluid pump is switched off automatically for protection purposes, “Low Liquid Protection” is shown on the display, and the canister light simultaneously starts to flash. Disconnect the fog machine from the power supply before changing the canister or filling it with fog fluid. Then, use the “Instant Fog” function (maximum fog discharge) in order to completely fill the fluid hose with fog fluid again, in order to prevent the automatic pump switch-off from reactivating.

• In order to remove fluid residue in the vaporizer system of your fog machine and thus ensure a long device service life, clean the vaporizer system regularly (approx. every 60 operating hours).

A DMX controller sends DMX data to the connected DMX device(s). The DMX data is always transmitted as a serial data stream that is forwarded from one connected device to the next via the "DMX IN" and "DMX OUT" connectors (XLR plug-type connectors) that are found on every DMX-capable device, provided the maximum number of devices does not exceed 32 units. The last device in the chain needs to be equipped with a terminator (terminating resistor). DMX CONNECTION DMX is the common "language" via which a very wide range of types and models of equipment from various manufacturers can be connected with one another and controlled via a central controller, provided that all of the devices and the controller are DMX compatible. For optimum data transmission, it is necessary to keep the connecting cables between the individual devices as short as possible. The order in which the devices are integrated in the DMX network has no influence on the addresses. Thus the device with the DMX address 1 can be located at any position in the (serial) DMX chain: at the beginning, at the end or somewhere in the middle. If the DMX address 1 is assigned to a device, the controller "knows" that it should send all data allocated to address 1 to this device regardless of its position in the DMX network.

SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS

1. Connect the male XLR connector (3-pin or 5-pin) of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female XLR socket) of the first DMX device (e.g. DMX-Controller). 2. Connect the female 3-pin XLR connector of the DMX cable connected to the first projector to the DMX input (male 3-pin socket) of the next DMX device. In the same way, connect the DMX output of this device to the DMX input of the next device and repeat until all devices have been connected. Please note that as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and connections cannot be shared without active splitters. The maximum number of DMX devices in a DMX chain should not exceed 32 units. The Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR product ranges include an extensive selection of suitable cables. DMX CABLES When fabricating your own cables, always observe the illustrations on this page. Never connect the shielding of the cable to the ground contact of the plug, and always make certain that the shielding does not come into contact with the housing of the XLR plug. If the shielding is connected to the ground, this can lead to short-circuiting and system malfunctions.
