DF-50
DIFFUSION HAZER
INTRODUCTION
The DF-50 Diffusion Hazer is the
cleanest most cost effective atmospheric fogger available in the market today.
Fluid use is less than 2 ounces an hour! The Diffusion Haze produced is totally
odorless and can only be detected visually. No more sore throats or burning
eyes. This patented machine utilizes a triple filtered system that breaks down
the Diffusion Fluid (food grade mineral oil) to a uniform 1-micron sized or
less droplet. The unit is self-contained needing only the proper power rating
and a sufficient amount of fluid.
UNPACKING
Each DF-50 is carefully checked
and tested to strict factory standards before being shipped. In each carton is
the DF-50 and accompanying power cord.
Warning: Do not connect the power cord to the unit
and switch on until you have thoroughly read the operating instructions section
of this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW
The DF-50 Diffusion Haze should
NOT be considered as a standard haze machine. Because of the minute particulate
size of the haze produced and its long lasting hang time (3+ hours in an
enclosed area) it is not necessary to have the concentration of haze that is
normally associated with other machines. The particles produced are so minute
that they are hardly visible to the eye. Although you make think the
concentration is insufficient, you will find that after a very short period of
use the DF-50 will have produced more than a sufficient amount of atmosphere.
Due to the efficiency of the
machine it is recommended that the machine be used intermittently, NOT
continuously, and in situations where the machine is not monitored by an
operator, it is suggested you use a timer to switch the machine ON and OFF.
Under normal conditions you may find that a running time of 10 minutes ON each
15-20 minutes should provide the desired atmosphere, however length of running
time will vary for each job.
Another important factor in the
operation of the DF-50 is that it should NOT be fully enclosed, unless enclosed
in a case approved by the manufacturer such as the one shown on Page 9. If the
air temperature around the machine rises too high the thermal sensor in the
machine will turn it OFF. The machine works on the principle of drawing air from
the back of the machine and passing air through the machine, then out the front
of the machine mixed with the diffusion particles, which have gone through a
triple filtration process. Therefore, a steady flow of cool air is recommended
for the machine, hence it is best operated in an unobstructed position.
If the machine is used non-stop
(and this is NOT recommended) over a long period you may create a situation
whereby the concentration of smoke is too much, which can result in build-up of
residue in the environment. You may also experience some residue after a long
period of using the machine as recommended and this can be seen on equipment
close by, especially those with air filters and fans etc. However, normal
periodic cleaning of this equipment will prevent this. If the machine is to be
used continuously, then a timer should be used to create a 10-second off period
to allow the water trap to automatically drain.
OPERATING
Always
1. Transport the unit right side
up or empty.
2. Before operating, fill with
Diffusion Fog Fluid just below the top of the tank window on the side of the
unit. ALWAYS
TAKE CARE NOT TO OVERFILL.
3. Check the machine for correct
voltage.
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Unscrew the cap on the top of the unit
and pour fluid into the opening. Be careful not to overfill. 2. Do not use more than 2 liter’s or 1/2 gallon
of fluid. 3. Check the level by using the sight window on
the side of the unit. 4. If overfilled, empty excess by tipping to the
side of the spout and pouring back out. If you have spilled fluid inside the
machine it may be necessary to remove the cover to clean up the excess fluid.
If this is required DISCONNECT the machine from the power supply before
opening. CAUTION Only Diffusion Fog Fluid may be used in
the operation of the DF50. Any other fluid may clog the machine, create a
health hazard, cause damage to the machine and will void the manufacturer’s
warranty coverage. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE DF-50 CALL
YOUR DEALER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FLUID LEVEL: Using the glass sight level on the side
of the machine fill with a sufficient amount of fluid to approximately
1/2" below the top level. If you overfill, then tip the machine on its
side to dispose of the excess. COMPRESSOR: No maintenance is required and no
attempt should be made to service the compressor. The compressor is rated at
MTBF 5000+ hours before any rebuild may be necessary. AIR FILTER: Remove top of the black filter element.
By twisting counter clockwise 1/4 turn. Remove wool element and wash in soap
and water, then reassemble. WATER TRAP: To maintain maximum filtering
efficiency and to avoid excessive pressure drop, the filter must be kept
clean. To access the filter you need to remove the cover of the DF-50. Turn
the drain valve to remove any bowl accumulation before it reaches level of
lower baffle. A visible coating of dirt or condensation on the filter element
or excessive pressure drop indicates cleaning is necessary. To clean, depressurize air line
and remove bowl. Wash filter elements with household soap. Elements should be
replaced if soiled or creating excessive pressure drop. Blow out body with
compressed air. Clean bowl only with household soap. TANK: No maintenance is required and no attempt
should be made to service. If any problems occur, you should contact your dealer USEFUL TIPS
DO NOT block the supply of air to the back of
the unit as you will prevent the compressor from performing efficiently and
may overheat the compressor. SPECIFICATIONS SIZE: 35cmH X 38cmL x 21cmW 14"H X 15"L x
