THE FAB
1. Introduction
THE FAB is a dark generator of the latest generation. It offers a wide range of
applications to display your lighting effects even better.
THE FAB is used to generate haze. Thus, the atmospheric effect can be created, which
is necessary for an appealing light show.
Due to the adjustability of pump capacity, fan speed and angle of attack of the two air
baffles, almost any desired haze density can be generated. A newly developed vegan,
highly concentrated fluid is used. This produces the finest droplets with maximum
lifetime in the air.
Its two extremely quiet and adjustable fans allow it to be used in areas where ambient
noise is a nuisance.
THE FAB also offers countless possibilities for control. In addition to the direct
operation on the device via touch screen, the dark generator can be controlled
remotely via DMX512/RDM, as well as via Ethernet (Art-NetTM and sACN). But also a
cable remote control or radio remote control are optionally available.
As standard, THE FAB is mounted in a 19" 2U road case. The 1 liter fluid bottle lasts
from about 150 hours at the lowest settings to 3 hours at maximum output.
THE FAB's directly heated evaporator is up to operating temperature in less than 10
seconds and requires only 500W despite extremely high output rates. Its wide range
input (100V-240V AC) allows it to be used anywhere in the world.

2. Safety instructions
• Very hot steam escapes from the mist outlet. Caution: Danger of burns!
• During the fogging process, very hot fluid droplets may occasionally escape
from the fog outlet opening. Therefore, there must be no persons or
heat-sensitive objects within a distance of 1.5 m from the fog outlet
opening.
• Never handle the mist outlet during operation or when activated.
• The device must be set up in a place that is not sensitive to heat. Keep a
minimum distance of 60 cm from flammable, combustible and heat-sensitive
objects.
• The fogging fluid used contains a glycol which burns with a slightly bluish,
almost invisible flame. Therefore, never fog into strong ignition sources such
as open fire.
• Never open the device connected to a power source.
• During operation, sporadic leakage of hot fluid droplets is possible. Care
should therefore be taken to ensure that these cannot become a hazard to
people. Keep a safety distance of 3m to the fog outlet nozzle.
• Do not ingest the fog fluid and keep away from children. In case of eye
contact, rinse with plenty of water. In case of accidental ingestion, consult a
doctor.
• Spilled or splashed fluid can cause slipping hazards. Absorb the fluid and
dispose of it in accordance with the regulations.
• Do not let visibility drop below 2m, you are responsible for people moving in
the foggy room.
• The mist produced can set off smoke detectors.
The method used here to generate artificial fog is largely harmless and is used
worldwide in the entertainment sector. We are not aware of any case in which a
healthy person has been harmed by the use of this artificial fog.
Nevertheless, we recommend that ill persons or persons with previous
damage to the respiratory tract or tendencies to allergies avoid contact
with artificial fog !

4. Preparation
4.1 Selection of the location
The location where THE FAB is operated must be
• have good ventilation, with cold and fog-free air
• Be dry
• Be vibration and shock free
• consist of a non-flammable footprint
• be far enough away from easily flammable objects
• have an ambient temperature between 5°C and 45°C
• have a relative humidity of less than 80%.
4.2 Changing the canister
• Release the plug-in nozzle from the quick coupling by pressing the locking
button
• Hold the suction hose in the right edge of the fluid compartment
• Remove the canister from the fluid compartment
• Unscrew the tank cap from the empty canister and screw it onto a new, or
full, canister.
• Slide the canister back into the fluid compartment.
• Put the plug-in nozzle back into the tank cap.
• Reset the fluid display (see chapter 7.4)
• If the pump has run dry, hold THE FAB with the front side down and let it
mist for a few seconds. The fluid pump will then fill completely with fluid
again.

6. Working with THE FAB
THE FAB is a latest generation haze generator. It can be used to create anything from
the finest haze to a fog-like effect.
The effect can build up only slowly. Therefore, you should turn on the device some
time before use.
Please ensure that no objects are placed either at the air inlet or outlet so that free
circulation is possible.
After plugging in the power plug, the main menu appears. The machine does not yet
heat up, as this takes less than ten seconds and only occurs when required.

THE FAB
In the center of the screen is the value area. The current value to be edited is always
displayed here. A short tap within the circle starts THE FAB. This activates the heating,
the pump, the fans and the air baffles are switched active.
A further tap in the value range ends the Haze process again. This is always followed
by an approx. 40 sec. cleaning process of the evaporator. Afterwards, everything is
switched off again.
Furthermore, there is a display of the fluid level around this value range. If fluid is
nebulized, the orange part of the display decreases steadily.
There are two icons at the top center of the screen. The left symbol indicates a
connection via Ethernet, the right symbol shows whether THE FAB is connected to the
mains supply or is currently being supplied via the internal battery. In the case of
battery operation, the battery charge status can be read here.
At the top right and at the bottom are the keys for plus and minus. In the middle
between them the current DMX address can be read.
At the bottom center is the button for advanced settings.
6.2 Operation in stand-alone mode
The simplest case of control is the stand-alone mode. For this purpose, the pump
value, the fan speed and the angle of attack of the air baffles are set and the haze
process is started.
When the Haze process is
active, the bars next to the
respective values are displayed
in green.
The individual values can be
changed by tapping the
desired value (in the picture
the pump value) and then
changing it with the plus and
minus keys.

THE FAB
Values between 1 and 100% can be selected for the pump value and fan speed.
The air baffles know five different positions:
down the discharge direction is downward
straight down the discharge direction always alternates between down and
straight
straight the discharge direction is straight
straight up the discharge direction always alternates between up and straight
up the discharge direction is upwards
To enter the pump value or fan speed directly, please press the desired value for two
seconds. This activates the numeric keypad and the desired value can be entered
directly.
The "Text..." then displays the current value to be changed.
