Before beginning your initial setup on ANTARI W-515D & W-530D Fog Machine,
make sure that there is no evident damage caused by transportation. In the event
that the unit's housing or cable is damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt
to use it until after contacting your ANTARI dealer for assistance.
Setup
Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Check that all foam and
plastic padding is removed, especially in the nozzle area.
Place the fog machine on a flat surface and remove fog liquid tank cap. Place
the liquid tube into a properly filled liquid tank.
Fill with high-quality, water-based fog liquid recommended by ANTARI dealer.
The W-515D or W-530D only works with uncontaminated Antari FLR or FLG
Fog Liquid. Any other types of liquid can damage the unit resulting in
spitting and serious clogging problem. When filled, place cap back on liquid
tank. Be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Operation
Control Panel
The built-in control panel on the rear of the machine features an LCD panel
displaying all operation status of the fog machine. The control panel allows the
user to customize fog machine functions by adjusting the fogging duration,
interval, and volume as well as the DMX and W-DMX address, the wireless function
and the fluid sensor. There are 4 buttons on the control board. All current
operating parameters are automatically stored in non-volatile memory, allowing
the machine to be powered down without losing function settings.
After powering on, the display shortly indicates »Antari W-515D/W-530D«. At this
time, users may press the MENU button and hold for 2 seconds to switch the language of
the control interface from English to Chinese.
Then the display indicates »Wireless Detect…«. This indication lasts for 15
seconds. Users may register the W-1 wireless transmitter to the fog machine
by pressing Key A on the W-1 during this period. When the wireless control
function is off, this indication won’t be shown.
Then the fog machine starts with the warm-up process and the display indicates
»Warming Up«. While the unit is warming up, fog output will not be possible yet.
Program the necessary menu settings with the control panel. Once the warm-up
process is completed, fog output will be possible. The display indicates »Ready to
Fog«. Additionally, a »P« for W-DMX, a »W« for wireless or an »S« for fluid sensor
is indicated if these functions are activated.
