Preparation and troubleshooting
Ultratec G3000: fog preparation and control diagnosis
Define variant, fluid and operation before comparing requested and actual output.
Proposed test, scope and alternatives
The reference is standard G3000 Fog Effects Generator, not Mega Fog Burst or a G3000/cooler system. Low fog or specific bursts require assessment of the corresponding documented assembly.
The 2022 manual distinguishes demand and actual output during heating; DMX takes priority over remote control. It requires approved Ultratec fog fluid and warns against haze fluid. Do not copy hazer settings.
- Record code/label, voltage, variant, control and identified fluid. Have the technical lead verify power for the exact unit; do not modify internal wiring to fix heating.
- Agree on venue permission, ventilation and detection responsibility. Prepare no-fog alternatives if prohibited; do not disable alarms.
- Allow preparation/rehearsal before the first cue. Compare thermal state and displayed control with the command; reduced output alone does not prove an incorrect DMX profile.
- Test remote and DMX separately in rehearsal with known address/values. Check received data and cue before deleting programming or changing firmware.
- Record fluid level and protection state without running dry. If there is a persistent error, abnormal noise or an unusual odor, remove the unit from service and refer it to a technician; do not open the heater or pump.
- Test the effect and recovery, and record the settings and who is responsible for shutdown. Demand percentage alone does not establish visible volume or runtime.
Does 100% demand guarantee immediate full output?
No. Check thermal state and actual output before assessing results.
Why does the remote appear ignored?
The manual gives DMX priority. During an authorized rehearsal away from the performance, compare remote operation without a DMX signal, then DMX control with known address and values. If remote response returns when DMX stops, review the console command, cue and patch before treating it as remote failure. If it also fails alone, check thermal status, actual output, fluid and messages; remove the unit from service if there is a persistent error, abnormal noise or an unusual odor, and refer it to a technician. Record each path’s result; do not change connections during a cue to perform this test.
Can it use our hazer fluid?
Do not assume so. Choose only G3000-approved fog fluid for the intended effect.
What can you propose?
We can assess the generator, consumables, distribution, programming, rehearsal and operator, or a visual alternative. Send the date, venue, duration and intended effect; the variant, availability and scope need confirmation.
