Operating Instructions

 

 
 

1  Introduction 

 

The 

DATA II 

is a very powerful fog generator. It unites the current digital 

technology with proven technique and power. New features guarantee a much more simple operation  
place and fog, reducing the amount of time needed to set up the machine. 
An external fan with one phase and max. 800 watts can be connected to the machine.

 

 
 
 

Safety instructions

 

 

A fog machine is not a toy!

 

 

2.1 

Scalding Hazard 

• 

Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. Danger of getting burnt.  Occasionally very hot 
droplets of fluid may escape when in operation. Thus never aim at persons directly and keep a 
minimum distance of 3 m to the nozzle.

 

• 

Never touch the nozzle when in operation. Danger of getting burnt.

 

• 

The location for the machine must be non-flammable, non-combustible and not sensitive to 
heat. It has to be twice as big as the machine.

 

• 

Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to all flammable, combustible objects and objects 
sensitive to heat.

 

• 

Glycol is alcohol and burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible flame. Never point the fog at 
strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects.

 

• 

During operation small amounts of hot fluid-drops may emerge Therfore you should make 
sure, that these do not become a danger to anyone. 

  

2.2 

General Safety

 

• 

Glycol is alcohol and burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible flame. Never point the fog at 
strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects.

 

• 

The visibility has to be more than 2 m in rooms where people walk around.

 

• 

Never open the machine and leave the machine unattended when connected to a power 
supply.

 

• 

Do not swallow the fog fluid. Keep it away from children. In case of eye contact, rinse with a lot 
of water. Consult a doctor should you have accidentally swallowed some fluid.

 

• 

Fog may activate smoke detectors.

 

• 

Spilled fluid or splashed fluid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the fluid and dispose of it 
according to regulations

 SMOKE FACTORY fog fluids is an enviromentally safe product 

and it can be recycled biologically.

 

• 

Artificially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method used here to 
produce fog, with a device which works according to the vaporizer principle, is the most 
harmless one. No case has so far been reported in which a human being has been harmed 
because of using our device to produce artificial fog. However, this can only be guaranteed if 
the professional fog generators are used accordingly, i.e. at the correct vaporization 
temperatures as well as with the correctly mixed fog fluid. 

We, however, recommend: 

People with health problems or problems of the respiratory tract or with an inclination 

for allergies should avoid any contact with artificially-made fog.
