INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Tempest Shadow Dusk smoke machine. The Dusk offers the
perfect balance of performance, reliability and affordability. To ensure efficient and safe operation,
please take a few moments to read this manual completely.
The Shadow Dusk is a thermal aerosol generator designed for continuous fog output. This machine
is one part of a system, the other component being Tempest’s Smoke Simulation Fluid. All Tempest
Smoke Fluids are unique water-based formulations that contain no petroleum distillates and are safe
when used according to instructions. The operating temperature, pump pressure, and output nozzle of
the Dusk have been specifically designed and engineered together to maximize the aerosolization of
Tempest Smoke Simulation fluids.
Do not use any fluids in the Dusk other than genuine Tempest Smoke Simulation fluids as they have not been
tested for optimal performance and safety considerations. Doing so may damage the machine and will void
the warranty.
Note: The terms “fog,” “haze” and “smoke” are used interchangeably throughout this manual. Tempest Shadow
Smoke Machines do not produce actual smoke, only a mist or aerosol.
