The Rock Haze 1000 is a powerful haze machine that outputs 1,000 cubic feet of haze per minute, making it perfect for large rooms, music venues, parties, and clubs. This machine enhances light shows and creates a dynamic ambient effect. It comes with both wired and wireless remotes for easy control and is designed for both ground and truss mount operation.

What You’ll Need

• Rock Haze 1000 DMX Haze Machine
• Rock Haze 1000 haze fluid (recommended RHF)
• Wired and wireless remotes (included)
• Power cable
• DMX cables (optional, for connecting to other machines or DMX chain)
• Fluid for the haze machine (1.2 liter tank capacity)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Set Up the Machine

• Position the Haze Machine:
  • Use the rubber feet on the bottom to place the machine on the floor, or attach the included truss handle to hang it from a truss.
  • Ensure the machine is securely positioned in your desired location.

2. Connect the Power

• Plug the power cable into the machine and connect it to a power outlet.
• Switch the power on using the power button on the machine.

3. Install the Fluid

• Open the fluid tank and fill it with the recommended water-based haze fluid (RHF by Rockville).
• Ensure the tank is sealed properly to avoid any spills, thanks to the non-spill fluid gasket.

4. Control the Haze Output

• Wired Remote Setup:
  • The wired remote allows you to control multiple parameters:
    • Fan Speed (Green Knob): Controls how far the haze will be thrown.
    • Output (Red Knob): Adjusts how much haze is produced.
    • Duration (Yellow Knob): Determines the length of time the haze will be outputted. This is linked to the timer function.
    • Timer Mode (Yellow Knob with Button): Determines the frequency of haze output based on the duration.
    • Manual Haze Button (Green Button): Press and hold to start haze output. Release to stop.
    • Continuous Haze Button (Red Button): Press to output haze continuously.
• Wireless Remote Setup:
  • Plug in the wireless receiver into the machine’s back.
  • The receiver has a magnetized base, allowing you to easily attach it to the machine.
  • Use the wireless remote to control:
    • Button A (Manual Haze): Press to start haze output, release to stop.
    • Button B (Continuous Haze): Press to output haze continuously.
    • Up and Down Arrows: Adjust the haze output size.

5. Monitor the Fluid Level

• Use the digital display on the back of the machine to check the fluid level.
• The fluid tank can hold up to 1.2 liters, and the display shows both maximum and minimum levels to ensure you don’t run out of haze fluid during use.

6. Safety and Handling

• The Rock Haze 1000 is designed with a non-spill fluid gasket to prevent leaks when moving the unit.
• The handle on top makes it easy to transport and set up, whether you're using it on the ground or hanging it from a truss.

7. Start Using the Haze Machine

• Once the fluid is filled, the machine is powered on, and the remote controls are set up, you are ready to go.
• Adjust the fan speed and output to create the desired haze effect in your venue.

8. DMX Control (Optional)

• If you want to link multiple haze machines or incorporate the Rock Haze 1000 into a larger DMX setup, use the DMX in and out ports on the back.
• Use a DMX cable to connect this machine to another Rock Haze or as part of your DMX chain.

The Rock Haze 1000 is an easy-to-use, portable, and powerful haze machine that can transform any event or performance. Whether you're creating a unique effect for a live performance, party, or club setting, this machine will fill large spaces with a consistent and controllable haze.
