Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment necessary to operate the system has
arrived intact. Refer to the “Features” section for information on what items are included with
your model. If any equipment is missing contact your ANTARI dealer immediately.
Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI Snow Machine, make sure that there is no
evident damage caused by transportation. In the event that the unit’s housing or cable is
damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until after contacting your ANTARI dealer
for assistance.
Setup
♦ Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Check that all foam and plastic padding is
removed, especially in the nozzle area.
♦ Place snow machine on a flat surface and remove snow liquid tank cap.
♦ Fill with ANTARI Snow Liquid or other dealer-recommended high-quality water-based snow
fluid. Any other types of fluid can damage the unit. When filled, place cap back on liquid
tank.
♦ Firmly attach the 3 pin connector on the remote control cable to the proper input on the rear
of the machine.
Operation
♦ Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn power switch on rear of unit to “ON”
position.
♦ To emit snow, press the appropriate button on the remote for the desired length of time.
♦ Two pilot lamps on the remote control indicate power and operation status.
♦ Use the adjustable knob on the remote control to regulate the volume of snow output.
3. Remote Control Operation of the Snow Machines.
The units can be controlled by either DMX or the SC-101 volume
remote control. See the appropriate topic below:
SC-101 Remote Control
Connect the remote control’s male 4 pin plug to the LCU-1’s REMOTE INPUT socket.
When the machine is turned on, you have control of on/off and volume functions of the snow
machine.
DMX Control
1. Connect the DMX cord to the DMX-IN socket on the machine.
2. Test the system by activating the snow system’s selected DMX channel. When the
channel value is increased the snow machines in the series should produce snow in
steadily increasing volume. This volume will be at 100% when the channel is set to 255.
Your ANTARI Snow Machine may be installed at floor level or suspended overhead. When
mounting the unit overhead, it is important that the snow does not shoot directly at anyone’s
face. Whatever installation method you choose, do not allow the unit to have more than a 15
degree angle of inclination.
Important: Always monitor tank fluid level during operation. Running a snow machine with no
fluid can permanently damage the unit.
If you experience low output, mechanical noise or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check
fluid level, the external fuse, remote connection, and power from the wall. If all of the above
appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If snow does not come out after holding the remote
button down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid
going through the hose. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply
continue pushing the remote button, as this may damage the unit. Return the machine to your
ANTARI dealer.
Maintenance
Do not allow the snow liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the snow
liquid container and the snow machine liquid tank immediately after filling.
Before storing, flush out system with clean water.
Snow Liquid
Depending on the desired effect, use either ANTARI SL-5 Snow Liquid for normal snow or
ANTARI SL-5A Snow Liquid for fast-dissipating snow.
