FAQs

Do I need to use special fog fluid?

No, the QTX UMBRA-1200 uses standard water-based fog fluid. However, using high-quality fluid will yield better results.

How much water does the unit hold?

The product description does not specify the exact water reservoir capacity, but it requires regular filling for optimal performance. Ensure it is filled to the indicated level.

What is the warm-up time?

The unit has a 1200W heater, allowing for a relatively quick warm-up, typically a few minutes. The digital panel will indicate when it is ready.

Can I control the fog output intensity?

Yes, if using DMX control, you can typically adjust the fog output intensity via your DMX controller.

How often do I need to refill the fluid and water?

Refill frequency depends on the duration and intensity of fog use. It is recommended to check both levels periodically during operation and refill as needed.

Is the flight case included with the UMBRA-1200?

Yes, the product is supplied in a full flight case with lockable castors.

What are the dimensions and weight?

The dimensions in the flight case are 590 x 510 x 410mm, and the weight in the flight case is 25kg.

Troubleshooting

No fog output

Check if the unit has reached its operating temperature. Ensure both water and fog fluid reservoirs are adequately filled. Verify DMX settings if applicable. Clean the fog nozzle for blockages.

Fog dissipates too quickly or rises

Ensure the water reservoir is filled correctly and the water is at the optimal temperature. Use a higher-density fog fluid. Ensure the ambient temperature of the room is not excessively warm.

Unit not responding to DMX

Verify DMX cable connections. Ensure the DMX address is set correctly on the control panel. Check if the DMX controller is functioning properly.

Water leaking from the unit

Ensure the water reservoir is not overfilled. Check all seals and connections for damage. Do not operate if significant leakage is observed; contact support.

Error message on digital panel

Refer to the specific error code in the full manual. Common solutions include checking fluid/water levels, ensuring proper ventilation, or power cycling the unit.
