Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.
• Before connecting the machine to power, check that the voltage indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the machine. Contact American Safety & SmokeMaker Service for assistance.
• Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.
• If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged, defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine and contact American Safety & SmokeMaker Service for assistance.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not in use.
4
• This machine is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not expose to high-pressure water jets.
• Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect
AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic parts, take the machine out of service and contact American Safety &
SmokeMaker for advice.
• Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer any service not described in this manual to American Safety &
SmokeMaker.
• Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or missing.
• Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim fog output at electrical connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
•
The fog produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally.
Keep people and objects at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from the fog output nozzle.
• Do not touch the fog output nozzle during or after use – it becomes extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has been shut down.
• Fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an almost invisible blue flame. Do not point fog output at sources of ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
• Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this manual for the machine.
• Provide a minimum free space of 100 mm (4 in.) around the machine.
• Provide a minimum free space of 500 mm (20 in.) around fans and air vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the machine.
• Keep the machine at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from combustible and heat-sensitive materials.
• Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
• Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
• Fasten the machine securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use.
The machine is not portable when installed.
• Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
• If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the machine to a rigging clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support.
• If the machine is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be
5
capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight of the machine and all installed accessories.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or moving the machine.
• Do not operate the machine with missing or damaged covers or shields.
• In the event of an operating problem, stop using the machine immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a machine that is obviously damaged.
• Do not modify the machine in any way not described in this manual or install other than genuine American Safety & SmokeMaker parts.
• Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
• Fog output can cause condensation. Do not point the output at smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.
• Ensure at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) visibility in areas where fog is being produced.
• Fog fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution but may present health risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye contact occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and obtain medical advice.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Preventing breathing problems
•
A machine can operate safely only with the fog fluid it is designed for.
Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Approved fluid types” on page 18 or you may cause the release of toxic gases, presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the machine.
• Do not create dense fog in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
• Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or respiratory conditions such as asthma) to fog output.
• Do not point fog output directly at a person’s face or at face height.

DMX Control
O v e r v i e w
DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512 standard may be used to control and program the fog output of the ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ machine.
When a DMX signal is present, the ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ machine’s stand-alone functions do not work. To fire the unit from the control panel or remote control, the DMX controller must be powered off or disconnected.
If the DMX signal is removed (controller turned off or unplugged), the machine will revert to its previously stored RUN MODE settings.
If the machine was set to OFF, it will revert to this state.
If the machine was set to STANDBY, it will revert to this state. If the machine was set to TIMER, it will revert to this state.
If the machine was set to CONTINUOUS, it will revert to this state.
C o n n e c t i o n
The ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ machine provides 5-pin XLR connectors on the rear of the machine for DMX connection.
For best results, use cable designed for high speed digital data transmission.
D M X f u n c t i o n s
The ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ address setting must match the DMX address allocated to it on your controller. To set the address, see “Setting the DMX base
address” on page 16. The ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ machine requires one DMX
channel.
When the machine is at running temperature and is under DMX control it displays DMX (+ the current DMX base address).

Optional PLC Interface Control
O v e r v i e w
An Optional PLC interface is available that will replace the DMX functionality of the machine and provide analog control of fog output (on and off) and fog flow rate (0-100%) or can trigger a preset flow rate. This interface uses closed- contact signaling or can respond with 0-10V reference. Up to 5 machines can be daisy chained and controlled in this manner (subject to the drive capability of the controlling system). Physical connection is via 3-pin and 4-pin male locking
XLR. Please contact American Safety & SmokeMaker for more detailed information on application and ordering.

Approved Fog Fluid Types
The ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ machine must only be used with the American
Safety & SmokeMaker/JEM fluids listed below. American Safety & SmokeMaker supplies high quality fog fluids that are based on ultra-pure deionized water. No other fluid is suitable for use.
Pro Smoke Studio Fluid ( DX mix )
In a studio or theatre environment, a lighter, faster dispersing fog is often preferred. Pro-Smoke Studio offers a less dense environment to Pro-Smoke
Super and is therefore less likely to interfere with TV camera focusing.
Pro Smoke Super ( ZR mix )
Pro Smoke Super fluid is a high-quality, general purpose fluid that produces a dense white airborne fog with medium dispersal time. Its medium to high index of refraction permits both good atmospheric effects and denser “white-outs”.
Pro Smok e H i g h D e n s i t y ( S P m i x )
Pro Smoke High Density fluid generates a high density, white, airborne fog with a very high index of refraction and slow evaporation rate. It is well suited for scenic obscuring, dramatic strobe effects, and “white-outs”.
I-fog fluid
i fog is not only kind to your lights, but is also more economical to use thanks to its incredible long “hang time” characteristics. It is well suited for scenic obscuring, dramatic strobe effects, and “white-outs”.
ZeroVisibility MAX
ZeroVisibility MAX Smoke Fluid is a clear, colorless, odorless, water-based
Glycol fluid for Fire & Rescue Training, Military, Emergency Air Evacuation, Air
Flow Studies, Leak Detection and other uses where intense, enduring, peoplefriendly smoke is required.
Pro Steam Simulation
For ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker only - Pro Steam Simulation fluid is a light fluid that produces well-defined cones of vapor that disperse quickly. It is ideal for chase effects and theatrical use.
18
DANGER! The ZV ZR45 SmokeMaker™ machine can run safely only on the specific fog fluids they are designed for. Use ONLY the American Safety &
SmokeMaker fog fluids designated in this manual. NEVER use any other type of fluid, or toxic gas may be produced. You will probably also cause damage to the machine that will invalidate the product warranty. Do not dilute fog fluid with water or any other liquid. Discard fog fluid if it becomes contaminated.
