Safety information The following symbols are used to identify important safety information: Caution! Safety hazard. Risk of personal injury. Caution! Burn hazard. Hot surface. Do not touch. Danger! Hazardous voltage. Contact will cause electric shock. Caution! Fire hazard. Warning! This product is not for household use.
• Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer any service not described in this manual to Martin. • Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or missing. • Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim smoke output at electrical connections or devices. Preventing burns and fire • The smoke produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally.
Preventing breathing problems • A smoke machine can operate safely only with the smoke fluid it is designed for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Smoke fluid options” 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 smoke in confined or poorly ventilated areas.

Quick Start You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot of haze. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual. Setting up Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the haze output. Fill the fluid tank with MARTIN-approved haze fluid (see page 18).
Installation and setting up DANGER! DO NOT operate the Magnum 2500HZ until you have read and observed all the precautions listed under “Safety information” on page 3. Location The Magnum 2500HZ should be located on a solid surface such as the floor. The machine can operate in any orientation from 30 degrees upwards to 30 degrees downwards. Steeper tilting may cause fluid leakage. Do not suspend the machine over areas where people will be underneath.
Setting up Fill the fluid tank with MARTIN-approved haze fluid (see page 18). The fluid compartment is opened by pulling outwards on the cover (pull using a finger in the round hole). The cover is held closed by a magnetic catch and hinges upwards. If the optional DMX input is fitted and DMX control is being used, connect the machine to the DMX line (see page 16). Connect the remote to the REMOTE IN socket on the back panel.
Final checks Before applying power to the Magnum 2500HZ, verify the following: • the machine is safely located or installed and meets the location requirements stated on page 9 • the operator is familiar with, and able to comply with, the requirements for safe operation listed on page 3 • the haze fluid is genuine Martin fluid listed under “Smoke fluid options” on page 18 • the machine is electrically grounded (earthed) • the AC power distribution circuits and lines are adequately rated for the curre
Control settings Overview Output level / timer programming knob Machine ready to fog light Machine heating light Fog / Timer engage button Timer On light Timer Off light Timer set button The unit is controlled using the remote control. You can control it in these ways: • Automatic Continuous run mode. • Automatic haze bursts using a repeating timer • You trigger a timed burst of haze using the “one-shot” timer You can also set the haze output level using the knob.
1. Press the TIMER SET button. The ON light will flash. You are now setting the On/Run time. 2. Turn the knob to the required “run” time, as shown on the outer scale of the knob (OFF – 255 seconds). 3. Press the TIMER SET button once. The ON light will come on static and the OFF light will flash. You are now setting the Off/Wait time. 4. Turn the knob to the required “wait” time. 5. Press the TIMER SET button once more. Both ON/OFF lights will come on to show the timer is programmed.
Priming the machine after fluid out If the machine runs out of fluid it may not pump properly after refilling the fluid due to airlocks in the fluid pipes. To prime the machine, hold down the FOG button and turn the knob to maximum. Keep the button held until the haze output is strong and steady. Then turn the knob back to the required output level and release the FOG button.
What the status lights mean The four lights on the remote have the following functions. The red “HEAT” light and the green “READY” light are also duplicated on the rear of the machine itself. HEAT+READY meaning no lights Machine is not powered, or remote is not connected. heat Machine is heating but is not yet up to operating temperature. heat + ready Machine is heating and has reached minimum operating temperature. Haze output level may be reduced while heating.
DMX control Overview 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 haze output of the Magnum 2500HZ. The Magnum 2500HZ requires the optional DMX control module to allow DMX operation. Connection The Magnum 2500HZ provides a 3-pin XLR plug and socket on the rear panel for DMX connection. The wiring is shown below.
Setting the DMX address Each unit on a DMX system must be allocated an address so that the DMX controller can send separate commands to the unit. On the Magnum 2500HZ, the DMX address is set using the bank of switches (“dip switches”) on the back panel next to the DMX connectors. The switch settings for each possible DMX address are given in the table below.
Fluid types The following types of Martin/Jem haze fluid are suitable for use in this machine. Martin supplies high quality haze fluids that are based on ultra-pure deionized water. Use only the following genuine Martin/Jem haze fluids. No other fluid is suitable for use. DANGER! The Magnum 2500HZ can run safely only on the specific haze fluids it is designed for. Use ONLY the Martin/Jem haze fluids designated in this manual. NEVER use any other type of fluid, or toxic gas may be produced.
