Programmed Operation Manual Operation

A. Switch timer light to on position and yellow light will come on.

B. Green light indicating manual operation will automatically come on when unit reaches proper op-erating temperature.

C. Unit will begin fogging automati-cally, according to the duration and interval settings. Adjust in-ternalknob to regulateelapsedtime between fogging cycles, variable from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. Adjustdurationknobtocontrolquantityoffogdispensed,variable from 1 to 12 second bursts.

A. Switch the timer to off position. Yellow light will not be lit.

B. Green light indicating manual operation will automatically come on when unit reaching proper operating temperature.

C. Press illuminated green button to begin fogging.

D. When green light goes off, unit is recycling/reheating.

OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE STATISTICS

TheProRestoreProductsElectro-GEN2000applicationdeviceallowstheoperator a choice of three different modes of operation. With the Dual ActionTimerwhichcomesasstandardequipmentwiththeProRestoreProducts Electro-GEN 2000, the device may be operated either manually or in a timing mode where both the time between fog generation cycles and the duration or length of the cycles may be precisely controlled. Theoptionalwirelessremotecontrolsystem,whichconsistsofaremotereceiver control and a hand-held transmitter allows the unit to be oper-ated remotely from distances of up to 80 feet away.

Toensurethegenerationofdryfogdroplets,theunitisequippedwithaverysensitivethermostatcontrolledtemperaturemonitoringsystem.TheProRe-store Products Electro-GEN 2000 may be operated manually or automatically.

Thetimingmodescontroltheintervaloftimebetweeneachfogdeliverycycle and the length or duration of time that the device will dispense fog. Setting the interval and duration settings on the dual action timer allows the operator to precisely control each application.

PROGRAMMING THE DEVICE FOR UNATTENDED OPERATION

Prior to programming the device for unattended operation it is impera-tivethattheoperatorperformasafetycheck: 1. Setthefogdeviceonametalstandorothersuitablenon-flammable

5. Assure that all electrical cords, plugs, and outlets are in good conditionandworkingorder.

6. Unattended operational periods should be of short to moderate duration, such as 1-4 hours.

7.

8. AdjusttheDualPurposeStandandMountingBracketsothatthefog discharge is pointed upward at a slight angle.

9. Strategically locate fans throughout the area to be treated to ef-fectively circulate and distribute the fog.

10. Allow the unit to go through at least one operational cycle before leaving the device unattended. Be sure that the unit goes on andoffbeforeleavingjobsite!
