* Receiver:
The receiver is tested and pre-attached to the panel of each M-31. Please do not try to
remove it. The receiver responds to up to 5 different transmitters that are registered with the
machine. The included transmitter has been registered to the machine before shipping. It
can be directly operated without any start-up setting.
-Registering transmitters

with up to 5 different transmitters, each transmitter must be registered in advance. For this
purpose, turn on the machine. When the display indicates »Wireless Setup«, press the
button “A” 1 second on each transmitter. Thus the previous transmitters are cleared from the
memory of the receiver. The setting must be completed within 15 seconds after turning on
the machine. Then the machine will automatically exit the transmitter setting mode. The
display shows »Wireless Setup OK«. At this point, no further transmitter can be added.
If no transmitter is registered when the machine is switched on, the memory of the receiver
will keep the record of the previous operation.
Setting Example 1:
In order to register several transmitters with a machine, turn on the machine. When the
display indicates »Wireless Setup«, press the button “A” 1 second on each transmitter within
15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.
12
Setting Example 2:
In order to use 1 transmitter to control 2 or more machines, turn on the machines
respectively. When the displays indicates »Wireless Setup«, press the button “A” 1 second
on the transmitter within 15 seconds to establish the signal transmission.
-Battery change on the transmitter
If the range of the transmitter decreases, the battery is probably exhausted and must be
replaced. For this purpose, take off the housing cover and remove the used battery. Insert a
fresh DC 12V battery as indicated in the battery compartment and refit the housing cover.
Note: When warming-up process is completed and wireless function is activated the LCD
screen indicates “Ready To Fog W”. (“W means Wireless) On the contrary, when the
wireless function is deactivated the LCD screen shows “Ready To Fog” (Without “W”).

If you experience low output, pump noisily or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check
fluid level, the fuse, remote control connection and mains power. If all of the above appears
to be O.K., plug the unit and try again. If fog still cannot be produced, check the hose
attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose. If you are unable to
determine the cause of the problem, do not continue pushing the buttons on controller, as
this may damage the unit. Return the machine to your Antari dealer.

Performance Note
All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. This may result in some
moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, gently wipe it clean. In order
to give the best performance and longest life-span of fog machines, please use high quality
fog fluids which Antari or the authorized distributor’s recommends.
Maintenance / Storage
Do not allow the fog fluids to become contaminated. Always place the cap back on the fog
liquid container and the fog machine liquid tank immediately after refilling. Cleaning your
16
fog machine regularly can help you to reduce the frequency of parts replacement and
maintenance costs. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended to use
distilled water to clean the heater according to the steps below.
The recommended cleaning steps is as followings:
1. Fill properly distilled water into a clean tank and connect the fluid tube of the fog machine
to the tank.
2. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty.
3. Use a dry cloth to wipe the fog machine. Cleaning is now completed. Refill with fog liquid.
Run the machine briefly to clear any remaining liquid from the pump and heater.
Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid and
the high temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog
machine should provide years of reliable use.
Clean with a dry cloth only. Store dry.
If the fog machine is not in use, please clean it before storage. Store the fog machine in a dry
and cool place. Operate the fog machine at least once a month. A test-run consists of
warming-up the machine followed by a few minutes of fog emission.
Please read and save these instructions.
