5.3 Col·locació

Place the ANF350 on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for ventilation and that the output nozzle is directed away from people, animals, and sensitive equipment. The unit can be operated in a standard upright position or laid flat using optional feet (if included).

5.4 Connexió d'alimentació

Connect the provided power cord to the power input on the rear panel of the ANF350, then plug the other end into a grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage.

5.5 DMX Setup (Optional)

If using DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the DMX IN port on the ANF350. If daisy-chaining multiple DMX devices, connect from the DMX OUT of the ANF350 to the DMX IN of the next device. Set the DMX address using the DIP switches on the rear panel according to your DMX controller's instructions.

6. Funcionament

6.1 Encès

After connecting power and fluid, flip the main power switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The machine will begin its warm-up cycle. The status indicator will typically illuminate to show heating progress. Once ready, the indicator will change (e.g., turn solid green).

6.2 Control manual

Once the machine is ready, use the 'Smoke' knob to adjust the fog output intensity and the 'Fan' knob to control the fan speed, which affects the dispersion of the fog.

6.3 Control DMX

When a DMX signal is received, the ANF350 automatically turns on and begins heating. You can then control the fog output and fan speed via your DMX controller, using the assigned DMX channels. Refer to your DMX controller's manual and the ANF350's DMX chart (usually found in a separate DMX supplement or on the unit itself) for specific channel assignments.

7. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ANF350 Fog Machine.

7.1 Neteja

• Exterior: Netegeu l'exterior de la màquina amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
• Sistema intern: The ANF350 features an automatic self-cleaning process when the DMX signal is removed.
