ATMe, Haze Generator
User Guide, Rev: C/e, March 2023 6 / 33
Basic Description
The ATMe Haze Generator was designed with safety and reliability in mind. It is capable of generating
pure white, non-toxic haze for as long as you have fluid (100% duty cycle). This generator is also equipped,
as a standard feature, with the Automatic Purging System™ (APS™). This system purges the heating
module after the first heating cycle and after every emission of haze preventing residual build up and
clogging.
The ATMe is a non-stop haze generator capable of creating the finest and almost invisible mist. It highly
emphasizes laser and light beams. It also features variable output.
At the heart of the MDG ATMe is an electronic assembly that keeps the heat exchanger at a very stable
temperature, with three different types of fail-safe systems. Those three types of electronic fail-safe systems
are designed to protect against over and under-heating conditions and against component failure. When
an overheating condition is detected, or if the internal temperature of the Hazer reaches 60°C (140°F), a
safety circuit is triggered. This circuit removes the power to the heating elements, preventing hazardous
conditions. When an under-heating condition occurs, the Hazer will stop producing haze until the
temperature of the heating module is back within parameters.
A fourth safety system consists of a pressure relief valve which limits the working pressure and protects
against over-pressure.
The temperature of the heat exchanger is maintained within a narrow margin. If an error occurs (see FAIL
State), the Haze Generator will automatically shut down. When one of the safety systems is activated, the
Fail state will be displayed on the LCD, in the Status Menu. Check the FAIL State and Troubleshooting
paragraphs for diagnostics, then shut down the main power switch, wait 30 seconds, and then switch the
generator back on. If the failure persists, send your generator back to an authorized service center for
verification.
When « Haze On » mode is activated (DMX or Control Menu), the MDG ATMe Generator will produce
haze for as long as the ready level is reached (temperature) and all other control parameters are within
specifications.
When « Haze On » mode is deactivated, the APS™
cycle is automatically initiated to clear the heating
module. Never remove the power to a generator while it is producing haze – See the Shut down
procedure.
WARNING
• When not in use ALWAYS switch off the power switch located on the back panel, and
disconnect both gas and AC line.
• Never install above people.
• This ATMe Haze Generator must be installed in an upright position on a stable and
leveled surface at least one (1) meter (3 feet) above the floor.
• Use in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not operate at less than 2 meters (6.5 ft.) from people.
