Cptin D. / Cptin D. Gse Operting lmstructions lntroduction The CAPTAIN D. CASE is very powerful fog genertor. lt unites the current digitl technology with proven technique nd power. New fetures gurntee much more simple opertion plce nd fog, reducing the mount of time needed to set up the mchine. An externl fn with one phse nd mx. 800 wtts cn be connected to the mchine. 2 Sfety instructions A fog mchine is not toy! 7.7 Sclding Hzrd. Very hot stem escpes from the nozzle. Dnger of getting burnt. Occsionlly very hot droplets of fluid my escpe when in opertion. Thus never im t persons directly nd keep minimum distnce of 3 m to the nozzle. o Never touch the nozzle when in opertion. Dnger of getting burnt. o The loction for the mchine must be non-flmmble, non-combustible nd not sensitive to het. lt hs to be twice s big s the mchine.. Keep minimum distnce of 60 cm to ll flmmble, combustible objects nd objects sensitive to het.. Glycol is lcohol nd burns with slightly bluish, lmost invisible flme. Never point the fog t strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects. r During opertion smll mounts of hot fluid-drops my emerge Therfore you should mke sure, tht these do not become dnger to nyone. 7.7 Generl Sfety Glycol is lcohol nd burns with slightly bluish, lmost invisible flme. Never pointhe fog t strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects. The visibility hs to be more thn 2 m in rooms where people wlk round. Never open the mchine nd leve the mchine unttended when connected to power supply. Do not swllow the fog fluid. Keep it wy from children. In cse of eye contct, rinse with lot of wter. Consult doctor should you hve ccidentlly swllowed some fluid. Fog my ctivte smoke detectors. Spilled fluid or splshed fluid droplets cn cuse slip hzrd. Mop up the fluid nd dispose of it ccording to regultions fog fluids is n enviromentlly sfe product nd it cn be recycled biologiclly. Artificilly-mde fog cn be produced in mny different wys. The method used here to produce fog, with device which works ccording to the vporizer principle, is the most hrmless one. No cse hs so fr been reported in which humn being hs been hrmed becuse of using our device to produce rtificil fog. However, this cn only be gurnteed if the professionl fog genertors re used ccordingly, i.e. t the correct vporiztion tempertures s well s with the correctly mixed fog fluid. We, however, recommend: People with helth problems or problems of the respirtory trct or with n inclintion for llergies should void ny contct with rtificilly-mde fog. issue 1 Pge: 3 v. 15

Tke cre tht the mchine cn not get overheted. Do not run the CAPTAIN D. CÄSE without ny fluid, s the pump will run dry. Wipe up spiled Fluid immeditely. Moisture - lso fluid - cn destroy the electric of the mchine. Check the stte of the ir vlve filter from time to time nd clen or replce it when necessry. When frequently using the sme fluid cn it should be clened thoroughly before dding new fluid. This reduces the chnces of the mchine clogging up. lf you instll the CAPTAIN D. CASE mke 100% shure tht permnent fog-free ir supply for the unit is gurnteed. Cooling ir with too high fog concentrtion very often in Clubs nd Discos) cn condense inside the mchine nd cuse moisture dmge. For clening the surfce the device use suitble, solvent-free clener.

Check for correct connections t the fluid bottle. Check for fluid in the fluid tube. Check if fluid filter is clogged The CAPTAIN D. CASEfogs uncontrollbly o Gheck mins supply. Check unit for moisture (moisture inside the mchine, especilly on the PCB cn cuse fogging) The GAPTAIN D. CASE switches off suddenly r The,,Temperture cutout" hs switched off due to overheting. Remove externl het source (for instnce projector shining right onto the housing) nd/or mke shure sufficient fresh ir suppty. After 1S io 30 minutes the unit should switch bck to,,on" gin. Loud droning sound during fogging o The pump is running dry. Avoid this bsolutely! r Refillfluid bottle. Double check connection fluid tube nd fluid bottle' E-4 ppers on the LED disply. The mchine is getting too hot. The heting switches off nd the mchine cools down.
