Operating Procedure  
1. During use this machine generates condensation. After use the LSX should be drained via the drain valve.  
CAUTION: This may cause the floor to become very slippery. This may also inhibit the performance of the LSX unit.  
2. This unit requires a 15 amp circuit to run properly. The use of any extension cords or shared circuit is strongly not  
recommended.  
3. It is essential that Ultratec Special Effectss Genuine Molecular Fluid is used in the Fog Machine to achieve optimum  
effect.  
4. The LSX unit is controlled by a user-friendly panel. When the system switch is in the ‘On’ position and illuminated,  
power is established to the LSX unit. A ‘green led’ is provided to indicate the compressor is operating.  
5. An Automatic Reset Low Pressure Switch is provided as protection against compressor damage. If the Low Pressure  
Switch has been activated the ‘Red’ LED will illuminate (the ‘Green’ LED will not be illuminated).  
6. The Variable Fan Control regulates Fog Density Output. Some experimenting will produce various effects. An OFF  
position is provided on this control. It is not recommended that this control be left in the off position as this will  
eventually result in activation of the Low Pressure Switch and cause a freeze up condition.  
Control Panel Operations  
1. Fan Knob: this controls the speed of the lower fan.  
Turning clockwise reduces the speed. Off is at the  
counter clockwise end.  
Note: It is not recommended to leave the control left  
in the ‘Off’ position or in a very low setting, the low  
pressure switch may activate turning off the compressor.  
2. Low Pressure Light: when lit, indicates that Low Pressure  
1

Protection has been activated. The Low Pressure Switch  
will automatically reset but may take 2 - 3 cycles to start,  
unless a leak has occurred in the system.  
3. Compressor Light: compressor is operating normal when  
lit.  
4. Power Switch: power is on when lit.  
Note: A cooler ambient temperature may result in  
activation of Low Pressure Switch within a short period  
of time after initial start up. To remedy this problem the  
unit can be stored in a warm location, a “load” can be  
put on the cooling chamber by introducing warm fog  
into the unit just after start up, or by simply covering the  
top of the unit to stop air flow.

Before Requesting Service  
If LSX will not Power Up  
Check Power source and connections  
Green ‘LED’ is not illuminated & Red ‘LED’ is  
illuminated  
Low Pressure Switch has tripped, allow for Auto Reset  
Low Pressure Switch will not Auto Rest. Red ‘LED’ Low Refridgerant Charge (Contact Local Dealer)  
remains illuminated  
Fog will not remain on ground  
1. Ensure the use of Ultratec Special Effects Fluid  
2. Check digital temperature display reading for coil  
temperature  
3. Check Green and Red ‘LED’ see above  
Green ‘LED’ goes out when unit is operating and  
Red ‘LED’ doesn’t illuminate  
Check Power Source for sufficient voltage. Do NOT use  
extension cords.  
Condensation on floor / Floor seems slippery  
4. Too much fog going through LSX  
5. Fog machine nozzel is too close to LSX  
6. Reduce fog output, or duration  
Recommended Fluids  
Molecular Fog Fluid: A faster dissipation versus the Directors Choice Fog Fluid. This thick, clean, white fog is an  
optimal solution for a dense low-lying fog effect when chilled with the LSG or LSX machines.  
Maintenance Fluid  
EZ Kleen Preventative Maintenance Fluid: Using EZ Kleen preventative maintenance fluid on a regular basis ensures  
longer life for the heat exchanger in Ultratec fog machines by reducing blockage.  
All of our Fog Fluids are water based. Damage will occur if Haze Fluid is used.
