POWER SUPPLY CORD:

  • A short power supply cord (or short detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk of a per-son becoming entangled in or tripping over the cord.
  • Extension cords (or long detachable power-supply cords) are available and may be used as long as care is exercised during use.
  • If an extension cord (or long detachable power-supply cord) is used, follow the guidelines below:
    1. The indicated electrical rating of the cord should be meet or exceed the rating of the device.
    2. If the device is of the grounded type, the cord must use a grounding type 3-wire cord.
    3. The cord should be routed in such a way as not to cause a tripping hazard or result in unintentional snag-ging or pulling of the cord, especially in the presence of children.

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of elec-tric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely under-stood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

  • FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING
    • Keep fixture minimum 5.0 feet (1.5m) away from flammable materials and/or pyrotechnics.
  • ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
    • A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.
  • MAXIMUM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE 104° F (40°C)
    • DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations. Before rigging/mounting a single fixture or multiple fixtures to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and accessories.

Fixture(s) should be installed away from walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand. NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing. Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before servicing.

INTERNAL CASE MOUNTING / FLAT SURFACE MOUNTING

MAGMATIC-PSC225-CRISP-MAX-Polar-Crisp-Max-High-Output-Snow-Machine-fig-9

This device can be operated with the snow gun mounted inside the case, with the nozzle spraying snow through a portal in the side of the case (below left), or the snow gun can be fitted with a bracket and mounted on any flat, stable surface, including the top of the case (below right).

CLAMP MOUNTING

MAGMATIC-PSC225-CRISP-MAX-Polar-Crisp-Max-High-Output-Snow-Machine-fig-10

This snow gun bracket features an attachment point for mounting clamp (see the illustration below). When mounting the snow gun to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, insert an appropriately rated bolt through the mounting clamp and the bracket, then secure together with a easher and nut. Loop a separate SAFETY CABLE around the bracket and attached the cable to a separate, secure anchoring point. The case should be placed close by in order to avoid stretching or damaging the fluid line.

Warning

ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.

RIGGING

Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including but not limited to: calculating working load limits, understanding the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture itself. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt to perform the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

CLAMP MOUNTING

When mounting the snow gun in an elevated setting, the snow gun should always be positioned such that the nozzle is aimed below the horizontal. DO NOT position the snow gun with the nozzle at or above the horizontal! This precaution is taken to avoid the risk of water or other fluids dripping off the mounting surface or beam and into the nozzle. Keep in mind that this device is intended for indoor use only!

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, and allows the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This pro-tocol is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.

With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled control-ler to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you experience low output, pump noise, or no snow output at all, disconnect and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to continue to operate as this may damage the machine. Check the fluid level, the breaker, and be sure the wall outlet is sending power. If all of the above appears to be okay, and the unit fails to operate correctly, the unit will require service. Please contact Magmatic Effects.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

STORAGE

When storing your snow machine be sure to store it in a cool area. Cover the machine so that dust does not build up on the unit. When storing the machine for long periods of time, it is highly advised to at least run the machine every 2-3 months. Long periods of inactivity can severly shorten the life of your machine.
