Me2, Fog Generator
Operating Guide, Rev: A/a 15 / 30
Shut down procedure
Never shut down the MDG Me2 while making Fog.
Power off the generator observing the following sequence:
Turn off the fog emission,
Wait 30 seconds for the APS
TM
cycle to complete,
Switch the generator «UNIT OFF» mode («CONTROLUNITOFF»),
Power off the MDG Me2, by switching off the “MAIN POWER SWITCH”.
Switching directly the generator in «UNIT OFF» mode by DMX/RDM will yield the same result as
above. Wait for all the cycles to complete before powering off the generator.
FAIL State
FAIL state mode is initiated if any critical error occurs.
In this state, the MDG Me2 is off, awaiting an action from the user.
A critical error is always displayed in the Status Menu («STATUSERROR»), as well as the five
(5) last critical errors («STATUSLAST ERR»),
ERROR = HEATER LAST ERR CODE = 6
This error will occur if the temperature of the heating module is not increasing with the proper
thermal ramp.
This is generally due to a heater cartridge(s) problem. Shut down the generator and restart it.
Check the heating process with the value of the Status («STATUSSTATExx% HEAT»). If
the percent is not increasing, the heater cartridges have failed.
ERROR = P. LOW LAST ERR CODE = 7
This error will occur if the generator is unable to reach the operating pressure within a fixed
time interval.
This may be due to a leaking gas line (between the gas bottle and the generator), a closed or
empty gas bottle, the set pressure of the regulator below 50-60 psi (3.5-4.1 bar, or 350-410
kPa), a ball valve closed on the gas line or a problem with the pressure transducer.
ERROR = P. HIGH LAST ERR CODE = 8
This error will occur if the pressure is too high for a specific regime, while the gas flow inlet is
fully closed.
This may be due to a solenoid valve malfunction (electronic or physical blockage), a problem
with the pressure transducer, the heating module partially clogged or the use of cryogenic
(liquid) gas.
