Ultratec LSX Low smoke converter manual Operating Procedure, Control Panel Operations

Operating Procedure

1.During use this machine generates condensation. After use the LSX should be drained via the drain valve. CAUTION: This may cause the floor to become very slippery. This may also inhibit the performance of the LSX unit.

2.This unit requires a 15 amp circuit to run properly. The use of any extension cords or shared circuit is strongly not recommended.

3.It is essential that Ultratec Special Effects’s Genuine Molecular Fluid is used in the Fog Machine to achieve optimum effect.

4.The LSX unit is controlled by a user-friendly panel. When the system switch is in the ‘On’ position and illuminated, power is established to the LSX unit. A ‘green led’ is provided to indicate the compressor is operating.

5.An Automatic Reset Low Pressure Switch is provided as protection against compressor damage. If the Low Pressure Switch has been activated the ‘Red’ LED will illuminate (the ‘Green’ LED will not be illuminated).

6.The Variable Fan Control regulates Fog Density Output. Some experimenting will produce various effects. An OFF position is provided on this control. It is not recommended that this control be left in the off position as this will eventually result in activation of the Low Pressure Switch and cause a freeze up condition.

Control Panel Operations

1. Fan Knob: this controls the speed of the lower fan. Turning clockwise reduces the speed. Off is at the counter clockwise end.

Note: It is not recommended to leave the control left in the ‘Off’ position or in a very low setting, the low pressure switch may activate turning off the compressor.

2. Low Pressure Light: when lit, indicates that Low Pressure	1	2	3
Protection has been activated. The Low Pressure Switch

will automatically reset but may take 2 - 3 cycles to start, unless a leak has occurred in the system.

3.Compressor Light: compressor is operating normal when lit.

4.Power Switch: power is on when lit.

Note: A cooler ambient temperature may result in	4
activation of Low Pressure Switch within a short period

of time after initial start up. To remedy this problem the unit can be stored in a warm location, a “load” can be put on the cooling chamber by introducing warm fog into the unit just after start up, or by simply covering the top of the unit to stop air flow.
