2. Housing

3. Mounting bracket

4. Tank cap

a. Smoke Liquid

• Only fill the tank when the device is unplugged from the mains.

• Use only non-inflammable smoke liquid without oil or grease. Any other liquid may damage the device and void the

warranty.

• Only fill the tank with specially developed water-based smoke liquid:

 VDLSL1: 1 litre of standard smoke liquid

 VDLSL5: 5 litres of standard smoke liquid

 VDLSL5H: 5 litres of high density smoke liquid

 VDLSLHT5: 5 litres of professional high density smoke liquid

• Procedure:

1. Make sure the device is switched off and disconnected from the mains.

2. Unscrew the cap of the tank (figure above #4) on the top of the device.

3. Carefully pour the smoke liquid in the tank.

4. Reposition the cap and fasten it.

Remark: Do not operate the device when the tank is open.

b. Fuse

• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.

• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see “Technical Specifications”):

1. Make sure the device is switched off and disconnected from the mains.

2. Unscrew the fuse holder at the back with an appropriate screwdriver.

3. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.

4. Replace the fuse holder and fasten it with the screwdriver.

c. Mounting the Device

• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.

• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for

one hour without deformation.

• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable (VDLSC7 / VDLSC8).

• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician

check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.

• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.

• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation

material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the

device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.

VDL500SMM VELLEMAN

• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.

• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device.

• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.

• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

5. Use

Make sure the power switch is set to OFF. Connect the device to the mains. Flick the power switch to ON. After a

certain warm-up time (3 to 4 minutes), the device is ready to be used.

Use the button on the remote control to select continuous smoke output. The stand-by lamp may be off and the

smoke emission may stop even though you are holding the button – this means the device is heating up again and

will be ready to operate in approximately 2 minutes. This process guarantees an optimum vaporization temperature

and the best possible smoke emission.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

1. All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.

2. The housing, visible parts, mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling, suspension, trussing)

should not be deformed, modified or tampered with e.g. do not drill extra holes in mounting supports, do not

change the location of the connections,

3. Moving mechanic parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.

4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the device.

5. Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.

6. Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

7. There are no user-serviceable parts except for the fuse (see "Fuse").

8. Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.

9. Clean the heating element after every 30 hours of use with a special cleaning liquid available from your dealer

(order code VDLCL). Fill the tank with 1/3 of the bottle of cleaning liquid and let the machine run for several short

periods. Remove the remaining cleaning fluid from the tank and rinse the tank thoroughly with distilled water.
