Before using the unit, inspect it to ensure there is no transportation damage. If any damage is found, do not plug in or use the device, and contact your dealer immediately.

No, the BRITEQ BT-FOG2000 is rated for indoor use only. To prevent electrical or fire hazards, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

The minimum distance between the fog output nozzle of the BRITEQ BT-FOG2000 and any surrounding objects must be more than 1 meter. Never place hands near the output as the fog is extremely hot and can cause serious burns.

To prevent internal condensation, allow the unit to adapt to the ambient temperature of the room before operating. Condensation can degrade performance or cause electrical faults.

The maximum safe ambient operating temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. Do not operate the device at temperatures higher than this limit.

The surface temperature of the BRITEQ BT-FOG2000 housing can reach up to 85 degrees Celsius during operation. Do not touch the housing with bare hands while the device is running.

Always place the unit on a stable surface. Never install the fogger directly over areas where people walk or sit, as hot liquid can occasionally drip from the output nozzle and cause severe burns.

Allow the BRITEQ BT-FOG2000 to cool down for at least 10 minutes before performing any maintenance or servicing.

This unit must be earthed to comply with electrical safety standards. Always plug the power cable into a mains socket with a functional earth connection.

Never attempt to repair a fuse or bypass the fuse holder. If a fuse is damaged, always replace it with a new fuse of identical type and electrical specifications.

Fill the reservoir with high-quality, certified smoke fluid. Ensure the container is never completely empty during operation, as running the device without fluid can damage the internal pump.

The center hole of the bracket can be used to directly fix a rigging clamp. The two outer holes are designed to accommodate an omega bracket.

Press the MODE button multiple times to navigate through the option settings on the menu display.

This button is used to increase values when configuring settings in the menu. When the display shows [READY TO WORK], pressing this button activates the configured timer cycle (interval, output, and duration).

This button decreases settings values in the configuration menu. When the display reads [READY TO WORK], pressing this button activates manual fogging at the volume level set in the menu.

The ENTER/STOP button is used to confirm selected parameters in the menu. Additionally, when a manual fog emission or a timer cycle is active, pressing this button immediately stops the operation.

The mains loop-through output connector can be used to link and power external devices up to a maximum load limit of 1500W.

If the breaker is tripped, first locate and resolve the electrical issue that triggered it. Once the problem is solved, press the breaker button inward to reset it.

The BRITEQ BT-FOG2000 includes both 3-pin and 5-pin female XLR connectors for DMX output, and 3-pin and 5-pin male XLR connectors for DMX input to ensure maximum system compatibility.

No, this USB port is not intended for PC connections or updates. It is designed exclusively for connecting an optional wireless WTR-DMX dongle to enable wireless control.

This message indicates that the internal heating element has reached its operating temperature and the machine is fully prepared to generate fog.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until DMX512 ADDRESS appears on the display.

Step 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to navigate to your desired address.

Step 3. Press the ENTER button to save and confirm the change.

You can set the device to either 1 Channel (1 CH) mode or 2 Channel (2 CH) mode.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until FOG OUTPUT is displayed.

Step 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to set your desired output level.

Step 3. Press the ENTER button to save the setting.

When NONSTOP is selected, the output volume is automatically throttled down to a level that allows the heater to remain stable, facilitating continuous, uninterrupted fog emission.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until INTERVAL SET is displayed.

Step 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to choose an interval range between 1 second and 600 seconds.

Step 3. Press the ENTER button to save and confirm.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until DURATION SET appears on screen.

Step 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select a duration between 2 seconds and 255 seconds.

Step 3. Press the ENTER button to confirm.

Running the pump without fog fluid inside can dry run and severely damage the pump components. Keeping the fluid sensor active prevents the machine from firing if the reservoir runs empty.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until FLUID SENSOR is shown on the display.

Step 2. Press the DOWN or UP buttons to select ON (sensor active) or OFF (sensor bypass).

Step 3. Press the ENTER button to save the configuration.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until WIRELESS CONTROL is displayed.

Step 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select ON or OFF.

Step 3. Confirm your choice by pressing the ENTER button.

For prioritized control safety, the wireless receiver is automatically disabled as soon as an active DMX signal cable is connected to the device.

Step 1. Press the MENU button until KEY TONE is shown.

Step 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or OFF.

Step 3. Press the ENTER button to save and apply the key tone level.

The initial warm-up time is approximately 6 minutes (with operational guidelines indicating ready capability within 3 to 4 minutes under typical startup conditions).

Simply press the FOG button on the control panel to start fog output immediately. To stop the output, press the ENTER/STOP button.

Step 1. Ensure WIRELESS CONTROL is set to ON in the menu settings.

Step 2. Extend the antenna on your remote controller for maximum range.

Step 3. Press the upper button on the RF remote to initiate fog output.

Step 4. Press the lower button on the RF remote to stop the output.

The pin mapping for the 3-pin connection is:

• Pin 1 = GND (Ground)

• Pin 2 = Negative signal (-)

• Pin 3 = Positive signal (+)

The pin mapping for the 5-pin connection is:

• Pin 1 = GND (Ground)

• Pin 2 = Negative signal (-)

• Pin 3 = Positive signal (+)

• Pins 4 and 5 are not used.

To prevent signal interference and unexpected device behavior, plug a 90 Ohm to 120 Ohm terminator into the DMX output of the last unit in the daisy chain. Never use Y-splitters.

In 1-Channel mode, CH 1 is mapped to FOG. Value range 000-255 controls the fog output volume.

The channel mappings for 2-Channel mode are:

• CH 1: FOG (Values 000-255 control fog output volume)

• CH 2: MODE (Values 000-005 set Normal working mode; values 006-255 activate Continuous fog mode, where output is throttled automatically as needed)

The unit must be placed and rigged at least 50 cm away from all surrounding walls to ensure adequate ventilation.

The structural mounting point must be rated to support a minimum point load equivalent to 10 times the unit’s total weight.

Always use a certified safety cable rated to support 12 times the weight of the device. Install this secondary restraint so that the unit cannot fall more than 20 cm in the event that the primary clamp fails.

• Method 1: Install a rigging clamp directly into the central mounting hole of the hanging bracket.

• Method 2: Fasten an omega bracket along with a rigging clamp to the bracket holes, ensuring everything is locked securely.

When inspecting the unit, confirm that:

• All screws used for installation and housing are tight and free of rust.

• Mounting areas, structural points, and trussing are free of any deformation.

• Mains power cables are in pristine condition with no signs of wear, cuts, or exposure.

To avoid obstructions in the pump, heater, and lines, clean the fogger after every 100 hours of continuous operation.

Prepare a cleaning solution comprising 80% distilled water and 20% white vinegar.

Step 1. Switch the fogger off and unplug it from the power source.

Step 2. Remove the metal nozzle where fog exits the machine.

Step 3. Empty all remaining fog fluid from the internal reservoir.

Step 4. Pour approximately 1 liter of the distilled water and white vinegar cleaning mixture into the tank.

Step 5. Connect the unit to power, turn it on, and let it heat up for about 8 minutes.

Step 6. Run the fogger continuously outdoors until the cleaning solution in the tank is empty.

Step 7. Re-install the metal nozzle, wipe away residual cleaning solution, and refill the tank with fresh fog fluid.

The BRITEQ BT-FOG2000 measures 46 x 40 x 21 cm and has a weight of 12.11 kg.

The unit requires an input of AC 220-240V, 50Hz.
