Setting Up Step 1: Place the machine on a flat surface and in a suitably large area with at least 50 cm of open space around the machine. Step 2: Fill the fluid tank with Antari approved fluid. 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 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 approximatly 6 mintues. Once the machine has reached operating temperature, the display will show “Ready to Fog”. Now the machine is ready for operation. Step 5: To start making fog, press the VOLUME button on the control panel.

DMX Operation Making the DMX Connection – Connect the machine to a DMX controller or to one of the machines in the DMX chain. The machine uses a 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for DMX connection, the connector is located on the front of the machine. Address Setup – Use control menu to set DMX address. The machine occupies 3 control channels. The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the machine will respond to the controller. Always double check to make sure there are no overlapping9 channles in order to control the machine correctly. DMX Channel Function Channel Value Function

Service and Maintenance ․ Do not allow the machine and fluid to become contaminated. ․ Regularly fill distilled water to fluid tank and run the machine to clean the system. After cleaning, refill Antari fog fluids into fluid tank and make sure the machine can produce fog properly. ․ 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.10 Technical Specifications - Input voltage - Rated power - Warm-up time - Fluid consumption - Fluid tank capacity - Compatible fluid - Operating time - Ambient temp. range - Control - DMX channels - Connection - Dimension - Weight US model : AC 100-120V, 50 / 60Hz 13.5A EU model : AC 220-240V, 50 / 60Hz 7A 1600W 8 minutes (approx.)

Information for migrating from G4 to G5 PLEASE NOTE:

• Pin 6 can handle 5 to 15V input on all receiver cards A40895G5 and A40896G5SPI

• Pin 6 can handle 5V input on following transceiver cards A40890G5 and A40891G5SPI

• Pin 6 can handle 5 to 26V input on following transceiver cards

• Pin 8 can only be connected to 3.3V

• Connect only one power source to the card

• OEM LED output 3.3V when the LED should be on, adjust resistor to give enough current to the LED, maximum output current is 0.5mA

• Pin 9 does not indicate MODE on the receiver, on receiver it is indicating reception

• Shutdown voltage: To ensure stable operation, the voltage need to be according to the pinout list. But the card may be operational all the way down towards 1.5V, to ensure that the cards is disabled, power need to be reduced to 0VTitle: G5 migration short guide Authors: Anders Zellén Date: 17-03-31 Revision: E Wireless Solution Sweden AB Page 3(5) Stureparksvägen 7 – 451 55 Uddevalla – Sweden Tel: [phone] Fax: [phone] Wirelessdmx.com [e-mail] Transceiver cards IMPORTANT DMX direction for cards All transceiver cards can operate as transmitter or receiver, by setting the voltage on pin 10 in the following 3 configurations Pin 10 voltage Function GND Transmitter (like G4 type O cards) 3.3V (Open) Receiver (like G4 type O cards) 1.65V Transmitter or receiver (like G4 type R cards) Direction is fetched from non-volatile storage; direction is changed if the button (pin 4) is connected to GND during power up To accomplish this, it is easiest to use two 4.7kOhm resistors, put one 4.7kOhm from pin 8 (3.3V) to pin 10 and one 4.7kOhm resistor from pin 7(GND) to pin 10.

MODE LED indication Transmitter card Receiver card

1) The low pass filter should filter pulses that are up to 50 us long. Pin 9 can drive up to 0.5mA and

for filter 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 neglectable if the reception is measured with pulse counting.

Continuously On = G4S mode Continuously Off = G3 mode After a low pass filter

The signal has a 1s period, that goes low in 100ms steps to indicate reception rate: 100% reception: High 90% reception: 900ms high, 100ms low 60% reception 600ms high, 400ms lowTitle: G5 migration short guide Authors: Anders Zellén Date: 17-03-31 Revision: E Wireless Solution Sweden AB Page 5(5) Stureparksvägen 7 – 451 55 Uddevalla – Sweden Tel: [phone] Fax: [phone] Wirelessdmx.com [e-mail]

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 shifts out data for the LEDs as described below. To avoid flicker a latched shift register is recommended. The SPI speed is 2.5MHz and Overlay CS is pulled high before the output start and pulled low after the SPI output has ended, SCK and MOSI is output signals.
