1. GETTING STARTED
What’s In The Box?
• 1 x AtmosFEAR® 221b Fog Machine
• 1 x Remote Control
• 1 x 5m Cable for Removable LCD Control
• 1 x Ever-So-Handy Power Cord
• This Lovely User Manual
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations! Your audiences will be blown away when they take a gander at the
colored fog eects of your new AtmosFEAR® 221b! Now that you’re the proud owner
of a AtmosFEAR® 221b (or hopefully, 221b’s), you should carefully unpack the box
and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If
anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately
and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all
packing materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that
the xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run o
a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that
the xture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the
xture or refer to the xture’s specications chart for more information. A xture’s
listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the
xture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it
is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the
line voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage
applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch.
All xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
Getting A Hold Of Us

Fuse Replacement
AtmosFEAR® 221b is equipped with an easy-to-use, push-button thermal cir-
cuit breaker. The button will extend for visual trip indication, and can simply be
pushed back in to be reset.
Connecting A Bunch of AtmosFEAR® 221b Units
You can use a serial data link to run shows using a DMX-512 controller or to
run shows on two or more units set to sync in master/slave operating mode.
The combined number of channels required by all the units on a serial data link
determines the number of units the data link can support.
Units on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also, con-
necting more than 32 units on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
The maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). The
maximum recommended number of units on a serial data link is 32 xtures.
Data/DMX Cabling
You should use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are
less prone to electromagnetic interference. For instance, Belden© 9841 meets
the specications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables will
“probably” be OK, but note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over
long distances.
3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?
This unit is ideal for use with any DMX controller. It comes equipped with both
3-pin and 5-pin XLR in/out sockets with standard pin conguration:
Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input)
Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1
Data 1- (Primary Data Link) Pin 2 Pin 2
Data 1+ (Primary Data Link) Pin 3 Pin 3
Data 2- (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 4 Pin 4
Data 2+ (Optional Secondary Data Link) Pin 5 Pin 5
This fog machine comes equipped with a 20A, push-to-
reset thermal circuit breaker.
3. SETUP
Page 7
AtmosFEAR® 221b Manual - Rev. B (c) 2019 Blizzard Lighting, LLC
CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the xture’s chassis
ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your xture may
perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control
Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector
(output) on the controller.
Step 2: Connect the female connector of
the DMX cable to the rst xture’s male
connector (input). Note: It doesn’t
matter which xture address is the
rst one connected. We recommend
connecting the xtures in terms of their
proximity to the controller, rather than
connecting the lowest xture number
rst, and so on.
Step 3: Connect other xtures in the
chain from output to input as above.
Place a DMX terminator on the output
of the nal xture to ensure best
communication.
Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)
1. Connect the male 3/5-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output
(female) 3/5-pin connector of the rst xture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the rst xture which will have a
(female) 3/5-pin connector to the input connector of the next xture consist-
ing of a (male) 3/5-pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as
stated above to the input of the following xture and so on.
Mounting & Rigging
• This unit may be used on the oor, or mounted in any SAFE position provided
there is enough room for ventilation.
• Mount the xture using a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. The clamp should
be rated to hold at least 10x the unit’s weight to ensure structural stability. Do
not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure properly “rated” rig-
ging is used when mounting xtures overhead.
• Adjust the angle by loosening both knobs and tilting the unit. After nding
the desired position, retighten both knobs.
• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.
• Never mount in places where the unit will be exposed to rain, high humidity,
extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
