Introduction

Thank you for choosing the SW-2 DMX snow machine for stage and events special effects. This product is

designed to produce high volume snow output on demand for festive and themed events. Please read these

instructions in full to gain the best results from this item and avoid damage to the unit through misuse.

Unpacking

Your SW-2 should reach you in good condition and should be supplied with IEC mains lead(s) and a wired

remote control.

If there are any signs of damage or items missing from the packaging, contact your dealer immediately.

Warning

To prevent risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose electrical parts to rain or moisture.

If liquids are spilled on areas other than the fluid tank or nozzle, disconnect the mains, allow the SW-2 to dry

out and have it checked by qualified personnel before further use.

Avoid any impact, dropping or extreme pressure to the housing.

No user serviceable parts inside - do not open the case.

Allow the SW-2 to acclimatize to room temperature before operating.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Placement

The SW-2 has a built-in snow fluid container and should be operated in an upright position.

If free-standing, ensure that the SW-2 is positioned on a stable, non-slip surface.

If mounted at height, use the integral mounting bracket and attach a safety cable for added security.

Safety

Check for correct mains voltage and condition of IEC lead before connecting to power outlet

Check the condition of the remote lead and ensure that it is not trapped

This unit must be earthed

This unit produces a snow effect using foam, which may cause a slip hazard on some floor surfaces

Cleaning

Use a soft dry or slightly damp to clean the casing

Do not use strong solvents for cleaning the unit

Clean the foam mechanism periodically by operating with distilled water instead of snow fluid

Rear Panel

Setting up

The SW-2 requires snow fluid, which forms small foam drops to create the snow effect.

It is recommended to use qtx snow fluid for best results (160.578, 160.579)

A chart for recommended fluids is included further along in this document.

Unscrew the top cap of the fluid tank (removable) and fill with the selected snow fluid

The SW-2 can accommodate a complete 5 litre snow fluid refill if preferred

Replace the cap and close securely, ensuring the pipe is fed down to the bottom of the bottle so that a

consistent flow of fluid is supplied to the machine

Connect the remote control to the 5-pin DIN connector on the rear panel (6)

Connect the IEC mains lead supplied to the rear mains inlet (5)
