Preventing Burns and Fire
• During the warm-up phase and during operations, people should not stand within three
feet (one meter) of the front of the machine. Flammable material like paper, fabric, etc.,
should never be placed directly on or around this equipment, or any other electrical
device with a heating element.
• The fog should be blown into an open space and should not be directed at people
or objects. Never blow fog on hot surfaces, into glowing heating elements or into
open flames. The normally non-flammable and non-toxic fog could react on very hot
surfaces and be burnt or decomposed .
• Do not operate the machine in a tightly confined space where the ambient
temperature might exceed 135° F (57° C). A continuous flow of air is required to
maintain temperature within the machine housing. Sensitive electronic components
deteriorate rapidly under high heat conditions. Operation of the machine in an enclo-
sure of less than ten cubic feet (one cubic meter) is dangerous, and automatically
voids the warranty.
• Enclosing any heating device so it is invisible to the operator creates a potential
fire hazard, no matter what the ambient temperature of the enclosure. To do
so with any high-amperage device is to assume substantial risk. Tempest
strongly recommends against it.
Safety Precautions
• In any facility, the fog concentration should be controlled. The fog should never mask
emergency exits, safety signs, staircases or other safety constructions.
• After long use, or if the machine is not properly set, some liquid droplets or wet area
may appear in front of the machine’s outlet. This liquid should be wiped up to prevent
a condition where someone might slip and fall.
Preventing Improper Operation
• Unauthorized repair or alteration of any safety devices can lead to improper operation
and accidents. Repairs should be performed only by an authorized Service Center.
• Use of any fluid other than Tempest Smoke Simulation Fluids or modification
or attempted unauthorized repair of the machine will immediately invalidate
the warranty.
• Machines are designed for continuous use over an 8-hour day, but to protect components,
it is wise to turn off the machine when it is not in use. In permanent installations, it is
advisable to equip the circuit with a night cut-off device.

Additional Precautions: Do’s & Don’ts
• Do Read the entire manual before operating the machine and pay particular attention to all
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS.
• Do Use an extension cord that is properly rated for voltage, current and length, and is free from
nicks, cuts or other signs of wear.
• Do Check to see that the machine is clean and free of foreign objects before each operating period.
