1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x AtmosFEAR® 221b Fog Machine

• 1 x Remote Control

• 1 x 5m Cable for Removable LCD Control

• 1 x Ever-So-Handy Power Cord

• This Lovely User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations! Your audiences will be blown away when they take a gander at the

colored fog eects of your new AtmosFEAR® 221b! Now that you’re the proud owner

of a AtmosFEAR® 221b (or hopefully, 221b’s), you should carefully unpack the box

and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If

anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately

and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all

packing materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that

the xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run o

a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or

dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that

the xture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the

xture or refer to the xture’s specications chart for more information. A xture’s

listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the

xture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it

is set to the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the

line voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage

applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch.

All xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Attention:

To keep your AtmosFEAR® 221b in good working order please remember to:

• IMPORTANT! This machine requires a power cord of at least 14 AWG.

• Use only water-based, non-toxic fog uid in the uid tank.

• Keep the machine clean.

• Turn the power o before adding fog uid.

• Turn the power o when not in use.

And also...

• ALWAYS make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that the

line voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear

panel of the xture.

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

• To prevent risk of re or shock, do not expose xture to rain or moisture.

• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.

• The unit must be used in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50cm)

from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no air intake slots are blocked.

• ALWAYS disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse and

be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.

• DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104°F (40°C).

• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.

NEVER try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people

can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical

assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.

• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.

• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.

Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open

the housing to attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit

may require service, please visit our support website at: www.blizzardpro.

Fuse Replacement

AtmosFEAR® 221b is equipped with an easy-to-use, push-button thermal cir-

cuit breaker. The button will extend for visual trip indication, and can simply be

pushed back in to be reset.

Connecting A Bunch of AtmosFEAR® 221b Units

You can use a serial data link to run shows using a DMX-512 controller or to

run shows on two or more units set to sync in master/slave operating mode.

The combined number of channels required by all the units on a serial data link

determines the number of units the data link can support.

Units on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also, con-

necting more than 32 units on one serial data link without the use of a DMX

optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

The maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). The

maximum recommended number of units on a serial data link is 32 xtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

You should use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are

less prone to electromagnetic interference. For instance, Belden© 9841 meets

the specications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables will

“probably” be OK, but note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over

long distances.

3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?

This unit is ideal for use with any DMX controller. It comes equipped with both

3-pin and 5-pin XLR in/out sockets with standard pin conguration:

Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

Data 1- (Primary Data Link) Pin 2 Pin 2

Data 1+ (Primary Data Link) Pin 3 Pin 3

Data 2- (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 4 Pin 4

Data 2+ (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 5 Pin 5

This fog machine comes equipped with a 20A, push-to-

reset thermal circuit breaker.

3. SETUP

Page 7

CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the xture’s chassis

ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your xture may

perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and

to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control

Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector

(output) on the controller.

Step 2: Connect the female connector of

the DMX cable to the rst xture’s male

connector (input). Note: It doesn’t

matter which xture address is the

rst one connected. We recommend

connecting the xtures in terms of their

proximity to the controller, rather than

connecting the lowest xture number

rst, and so on.

Step 3: Connect other xtures in the

chain from output to input as above.

Place a DMX terminator on the output

of the nal xture to ensure best

communication.

Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1. Connect the male 3/5-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output

(female) 3/5-pin connector of the rst xture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the rst xture which will have a

(female) 3/5-pin connector to the input connector of the next xture consist-

ing of a (male) 3/5-pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as

stated above to the input of the following xture and so on.

Mounting & Rigging

• This unit may be used on the oor, or mounted in any SAFE position provided

there is enough room for ventilation.

• Mount the xture using a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. The clamp should

be rated to hold at least 10x the unit’s weight to ensure structural stability. Do

not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure properly “rated” rig-

ging is used when mounting xtures overhead.

• Adjust the angle by loosening both knobs and tilting the unit. After nding

the desired position, retighten both knobs.

• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.

• Never mount in places where the unit will be exposed to rain, high humidity,

extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
