Electrical connection:
The 3-wire communication line (between fog generator and controller):
- For a length of cable up to a maximum of 20 meters, the wire should
have at least a section of 3 x 0.2 mm² (24 AWG alarm cable).
- For a length of cable up to a maximum of 100 meters, the wire should
have at least a section of 3 x 0.75 mm² (19 AWG).
Keep in mind that this cable is the "lifeline" between the controller and its
connected fog generator. Install this cable in such a way that the risk of
sabotage (cutting) or accident breakage or damage is minimised as much
as possible.
Setting procedure for communication
The objective of this setting procedure is to enable the controller to recognise
its communication counterpart and subsequently whether or not to accept
it or not (Learn mode).
Performing a setup procedure is possible only if:
a) The electrical connection "Controller fog generator" has been installed
correctly (Fog LED ).
b) The controller has 12VDC power supply (12 VDC LED = green ).
To enter new identification data, press the Comm key. .
Result: - Within two seconds the green Comm. LED lights.
- The controller reads the type and serial number
of the fog generator.
From this point the controller will not
communicate with any other fog generator.
- The fog generator reads the type and serial
number of its controller.
From this point the fog generator will not
communicate with any other controller.
- The controller establishes an encrypted
communication protocol with the connected
fog generator.
The connection has been established: the fog generator will accept and
execute all settings provided by its controller. And in reverse, the fog
generator will regularly report its status to its controller.

As long as there is no communication
problem the Comm. LED is
continuous green.
