E LAYOUT Display unit Fluid compartment DMX in out 3 5 pin Remote input On Off switch Power inlet with fuse Haze outlet Air guide adjustment ZR24 7 Hazer USER GUIDE THE FLUID SYSTEM The ZR24 7 Hazer uses a 2 5L container to give approximately 6 hours of continuous operation at full output Power supply voltage fluctuations should have little effect on this since the unit has automatic supply voltage compensation for pump speed The machine control system uses a water based fluid to create the haze effect and has adequate power to produce the maximum haze output continuously Supply voltage and frequency variations are measured and compensated for within the limits of the specified operating voltage frequency range for the model concerned Continuous operation gives rise to the possibility of pump damage if the machine runs out of fluid This is overcome in the ZR24 7 Hazer by using an indirect electronic fluid sensing system ensuring that the pump is shut down when the fluid level is too low The display will show a Flu Out message to warn the user that the machine is shut down due to lack of fluid The indirect nature of the system means that it is slow to respond and may take up to 10 minutes to recognize a low fluid condition However the fluid system components are capable of running dry for this length of time with no risk of damage When the machine is refilled with fluid
