4. Installatie-instructies

Follow these steps to properly set up your CO2 jet machine:

1. Uitpakken: Carefully remove the CO2 jet machine and all accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Plaatsing: Position the CO2 jet machine on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions and that the CO2 column will not spray directly onto people or sensitive equipment.
3. CO2 Bottle Connection:
   • Ensure the CO2 bottle is placed securely and flat on the ground. If the bottle is not stable or flat, the gas column may not be emitted correctly.
   • Connect the provided gas hose to the CO2 bottle. Ensure the connection is tight and secure to prevent gas leaks.
   • Connect the other end of the gas hose to the quick connector on the CO2 jet machine. Verify that the trachea connection is firmly linked.

5. Stroomaansluiting: Before connecting the power, ensure that all parts of the CO2 column system are securely connected and in their correct positions. Once verified, connect the power cable to the machine and then to a suitable AC 110V 50/60Hz power outlet.

5. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The MOKA SFX CO2 Jet Machine is primarily controlled via DMX512. Follow these steps for operation:

1. Inschakelen: Turn on the main power switch on the CO2 jet machine. The digital display should illuminate.

4. Activating CO2 Jet:
   • From your DMX512 console, push the first switch (or fader corresponding to the assigned DMX channel) to activate a CO2 column for approximately 1 second.
   • To maintain a continuous CO2 column, keep the first switch (or fader) pushed down.

6. Veiligheidsmaatregelen en waarschuwingen

Adherence to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and equipment damage:

• Jet Duration: The CO2 column squirt time must not exceed a prolonged duration. Excessive continuous use can lead to equipment overheating or CO2 bottle issues.
• Interval Between Jets: Ensure that the interval between two consecutive CO2 jets is not shorter than 5 seconds. This allows the system to reset and prevents rapid pressure fluctuations.
• Pre-Power Check: Before connecting the power supply, always verify that every component of the CO2 column system is securely connected and properly installed.
• CO2 Bottle Positioning: The CO2 bottle must be placed upright and kept flat on a stable surface. Failure to do so may prevent the gas column from being emitted correctly or cause the bottle to tip over.
• Trachea Connection: Confirm that the trachea (gas hose) connection is firmly linked to both the machine and the CO2 bottle. A loose connection can result in gas leaks.
• Opslag: When the machine is not in use, the nozzle and the steel bottle intake must be covered or sealed to prevent foreign objects from entering the system.
• Ventilatie: Operate the machine in a well-ventilated area to prevent CO2 accumulation, which can displace oxygen.
• Professioneel gebruik: This equipment is intended for professional use by trained personnel.

7. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your CO2 jet machine:

• Schoonmaak: Periodically clean the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Mondstukinspectie: Regularly inspect the CO2 nozzle for any blockages or debris. Ensure it is clear before each use.
• Verbindingscontroles: Before and after each use, check all gas hose and DMX connections for tightness and wear. Replace any worn or damaged components immediately.
• Opslag: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the CO2 bottle, cover the nozzle and steel bottle intake, and store the machine in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Vervanging van zekering: If the machine fails to power on, check the fuse located on the rear panel. Replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating if blown.
