Never aim the output nozzle directly at people.

Fog machine output is very hot. Avoid coming within 50 cm of the output

nozzle during operation.

Locate the fog machine in a well-ventilated area. Never cover the unit's vents.

In order to guarantee adequate ventilation, allow a free air space of at least

20 cm around the sides and top of the unit.

Never aim the output nozzle at open flames.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by manufacturer or its

Operation

Control Panel

The built-in control panel on the rear of the machine features an LCD panel

displaying all operation statuses 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 address, the wireless function and the

fluid sensor. There are six 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 switching on, the display shortly indicates »Antari W-515/W-530«. 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 »W« for wireless and an »S« for fluid sensor is indicated if these

functions are activated.

-04-

Press the button VOLUME, to activate continuous fog output. The display

indicates »Volume« followed by the value that was set in menu item »Volume

Out« or »NON STOP BURST« when continuous fog output was selected. To

stop the fog output, press the button VOLUME once again.

NOTE: When a fog output volume higher then 30 % was set for continuous

operation, the fog machine occasionally needs to stop the fog output to

reheat.

When »NON STOP BURST« was selected, the fog machine adjusts the fog

output volume and heater temeperature automatically and does not need to

stop to reheat.

- Manual operation

For immediate fog output at the maximum volume of fog, keep the button

MANUAL pressed. The display indicates »Manual 100 %«. As soon as you

release the button, the fog output will stop. The manual operation will take

priority over the continuous operation and the timer operation. Even if one of

these operating modes is activated, the fog machine will always emit the

maximum volume of fog when the button MANUAL is pressed.

- Timer operation

In the timer mode, the fog machine will automatically emit fog. The time

intervals, duration and fog volume depend on the corresponding menu

settings. Press the button TIMER, to activate the timer mode. The display

indicates the set time interval. The unit counts down to 0 seconds and emits

fog. To deactivate the timer mode, press the button TIMER again.

W-1 Wireless Remote

The wireless remote control system W-1 consists of a transmitter equipped with

two buttons for fog on and off, and a receiver pre-attached to the rear panel of

each W-series model.

* Transmitter:

With the transmitter it is possible to emit fog via radio over a distance of up to

50 meters. The transmitter is compatible to any receiver of the W-series and

can control an unlimited number of machines in parallel.

-05-

Press the button “A”, to emit fog. The button “A” has the same function as the

button VOLUME on the control panel, i.e. the fog output depends on the

setting of menu item »Volume Out«. The display indicates »Volume« followed

by the defined value or »NON STOP BURST« when continuous fog output was

selected. As additional control, the blue LED light. To stop the fog output,

press the button “B”.

* Receiver:

The receiver is tested and pre-attached to the rear panel of each W-series

model. 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 shipment. It can be

directly operated without any start-up setting.

- Registering transmitters

To operate the machine with a different transmitter than the included one, or

to operate it with up to 5 different transmitters, each transmitter must be

registered first. 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

switching 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.

Setting Example 2:

In order to use 1 transmitter to control 2 or more machines, turn on the

-06-

machines at the same time. When the displays indicate »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 12 V battery, type 23A as indicated in

the battery compartment and refit the housing cover.

DMX Connector Pin Assignment

The machine provide 3 or 5 pin XLR connector for DMX connection. Diagram

below indicate pin assignment information

DMX512 Settings

Channel A

0 - 5 = off (no output)

6 - 255 = output volume control (1 - 100 % output)



Both models are equipped with a DMX512 system. For connecting a DMX

controller, 3-pin and 5-pin male-female XLR connections are provided at the

back of each machine. The machines use one control channel for adjusting

the output volume. The channel has a DMX value range of 0 to 255. After

connecting a DMX controller, timer functions such as output duration and

interval can be programmed using the DMX controller or the DMX control

software. The machine cannot be controlled via the built-in control panel nor

the W-1 wireless remote anymore. By using the DMX protocol, fog machines,

lighting effects, and other special effects machines can be interconnected

and easily controlled.
