Fog Machine Warning

Like all high quality video projection units, the DL.2 fixture must be kept protected from excessive amounts of glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. The DL.2 fixture incorporates two-stage air filtering to reduce these risks to a minimum; however, the user must follow these guidelines to ensure continued operation of the fixture:

Air filters (both fixture and projector) should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. When used in a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at least a weekly check.

Do not situate DL.2 fixtures in areas of high fog density such as directly in front of a fog machine or mineral oil hazer.

Minimize the exposure of DL.2 fixtures to both glycol fog and mineral oil.

The DL.2 fixture is a highly complex and sensitive electro-optical device and care and thought in how it is used, rigged, and positioned will maximize the product’s life and your investment.

Failure to follow these guidelines and carry out regular maintenance will void the warranty.
