The Creeper AQ Low Fog Generator, available in both standard Creeper AQ and Creeper AQ PLUS models, is a professional low fog machine designed for various indoor and outdoor applications. It produces a dense, ground-hugging fog effect, ideal for enhancing stage performances, events, and atmospheric settings.
The Creeper AQ series utilizes a multi-optimized air supply system to ensure a far-reaching and uniform fog output. The Creeper AQ PLUS model features 40 atomizer heads for a thicker fog output, while the standard Creeper AQ has 30. Both models incorporate a weather-proof design, making them suitable for use in diverse environments. The machines are equipped with abrasion-resistant silent casters for easy portability and quiet operation.
At its core, the device generates low fog by atomizing a specialized fog fluid. The system includes a fluid tank for the FX-M fog fluid and a water tank, which can be automatically refilled. The fog output is adjustable, allowing users to control the density, moisture, and fan speed to achieve desired effects. A low-water sensor is integrated to prevent damage to the machine, and a patented fog leakage prevention technology ensures no fluid leakage, even during operation or refilling.
Operating the Creeper AQ is designed to be user-friendly, with an intuitive LCD control panel providing access to various settings and real-time status updates. Before operation, users must ensure the machine is placed on a flat surface to prevent inaccurate water level alarms and that the power supply matches the rated voltage and is properly grounded.
The machine requires SHOWVEN original FX-M fog fluid, which is crucial for optimal performance and to maintain warranty validity. The fluid tank has a capacity of 3.3L, supporting up to 2 hours of continuous output. Pure water must be filled into the outer water tank until the low water level alarm (E3, E4) is triggered, or the machine can be connected to a water supply via a G1/6 pipe connector for automatic refilling.
Upon powering on, the machine automatically heats up, displaying "WARMING UP" on the LCD screen. Once the operating temperature is reached, the screen will show the current temperature, fog output, and fan speed, which can then be adjusted. Fog generation is initiated by pressing the "+" button and stopped with the "ENTER" button. For safe shutdown, the machine should be powered off, and the power cable unplugged. It is also recommended to drain the machine before transportation.
The control panel allows for comprehensive management of the device. The main interface displays the DMX address, fan speed, core temperature, and fog volume. An LED display area provides visual feedback, and a menu system allows users to navigate through settings. Parameters can be adjusted using "+" and "-" buttons, and changes are confirmed and saved with the "ENTER" button. The screen automatically reverts to the main interface after a period of inactivity.
The device supports DMX control, offering both 2-channel and 3-channel modes. In 2-channel mode, the first channel controls fog output (density and dissipation time), and the second channel controls fan speed (affecting how well the fog stays on the ground and its spread). In 3-channel mode, the third channel provides manual control over the number of ultrasonic atomizers, allowing for more precise fog generation.
Wireless control is an optional feature, enabling remote operation of the machine. Users must ensure the wireless function is activated and no DMX cable is connected for this feature to work. The remote controller typically includes buttons for "Fog output START" and "Fog output STOP."
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the Creeper AQ low fog generator. The manufacturer strongly recommends using SHOWVEN original FX-M fog fluid to prevent fluid spill and atomizer blockages. Low-quality fog fluid can lead to impurities adhering to the pipe inner wall, blocking temperature transmission, and causing insufficient atomization. Using inappropriate fog fluid can also be an issue, as different fluids require different atomization temperatures.
A common problem is the heating aluminum pipe clogging, which manifests as fog fluid spill due to insufficient atomization. This is often caused by using non-brand fluids or neglecting regular maintenance. To address and prevent these issues, regular maintenance is advised every 1-2 months. This involves cleaning the pump and pipe system by running the machine 10-15 times with a solution of 35% vinegar and 65% distilled water.
The device also includes error information on the LCD panel to assist with troubleshooting. Error codes like E2 (Temp. Sensor Malfunction), E3 (Inner Water Tank Low Water Level/Sensor Malfunction), E4 (Outer Water Tank Low Water Level/Sensor Malfunction), E5 (Circuit Board Malfunction), and E6 (Heater Broken/Circuit Board Malfunction) provide specific indicators for potential issues, guiding users or service personnel in diagnosing problems.
For situations requiring water drainage from the outer water tank, a "Manual Drainage" option is available in the setting menu, which pumps water from the outer tank into the inner tank for drainage. This feature is useful for transportation or when the machine needs to be emptied.
