Δ Operation Panel
1. LED display area

READY: Green light flashing means heating up. Turns from flashing into long on, indicates that
the machine is ready to work
DMX: Flashing shows that DMX signal is connected, light OFF means there is no DMX signal
FAULT: Light ON when error occurs
HEAT: Light ON when system is heating up
2. Control button area

MENU: Press to switch through menu, press and hold for 3s enter advanced menu
DOWN: Parameter down
UP: Parameter up
ENTER: Confirm and save parameters
3. RFID area

Composite Ti with RFID card, swiping cards used to identify parameters and types of granules.
The RFID card is disposable, one card can only use one time.

Δ Interface
1. Main Interface:

First Line:        DMX: DMX address          P: pressure value
Second Line:      T: inner core temp.         Delay: firing trigger delay
The working principle of the machine is when the firing is triggered, it takes some time (jet
delay) for the system to transfer and stimulate the consumables. When it reached the firing
trigger delay time, the valve will open automatically and firing.

Δ Operation Guide
1. Install SPARKULAR®JET
a) SPARKULAR® JET can only installed horizontally. If need to firinng SPARKULAR® JET in
angles, please use angled extension tube.
b) Make sure the machine is securely installed to avoid tipping.
c) Check carefully the output nozzle and extension tube of each machine, make sure the
output nozzle and extension tube are in good shape and there is no powder aggregate.
d) Install the extension tube if use HC8200 MEDIUM and HC8200 LARGE. When use HC8200
SMALL there is no need to install extension tube.
e) Beside the standard straight extension tube, there are other two angled extension tubes
optional: 30° angled extension tube and 45° angled extension tube.
f) Be aware that there will be sparks drop on ground when use angled extension tube.
g) Safety distance should shift accordingly when use angled extension tube.

2. Fill SPARKULAR®JET
a) Open powder bags and fill the feeding hopper. Hopper capacity of SPARKULAR®
JET is 450g.
b) Make sure the powder is originally from SHOWVEN or SHOWVEN authorized distributor,
other types of powder may block even damage the machine.
c) Choose correct consumable according to the application scenario. SPARKULAR®
JET can only use HC8200 LARGE, MEDIUM and SMALL.
d) Please be noted that there may sparks or remains fall to the ground. Make sure no
flammable material on ground in the safety zone.
e) Maximum effect height: HC8200 LARGE is 10m, HC8200 MEDIUM is 8m, HC8200 SMALL is
5m.
f) Make sure the lid of hopper is locked tight after filling.
3. Connect Power / DMX cable
a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of SPARKULAR® JET. Connect the other end
of power cable to the power source. Make sure power supply in consistent with the rated
voltage of the equipment, and the socket must well grounded.
b) If connect machine in sequence, please connect a power link cable to the POWER OUT of
previous machine, connect the other end of the power link cable to the POWER IN of next
machine.
c) The SPARKULAR® JET power supply cable maximum allowed cascade is 6 units (BT91) / 3
units (BT92). Do not connect exceed units to a single electrical circuit.
d) Power ON all SPARKULAR®JET.
e) Assign DMX address for each unit of SPARKULAR®JET. If use SHOWVEN host controller or
FXcommander to control the machine please allocate a unique DMX address for each unit
of machine.
f) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX IN socket of first unit of SPARKULAR® JET, connect the
male connector end of DMX cable to your DMX controller (FXcommander, HOST
CONTROLLER, light console etc).
g) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX OUT of previous machine, and the other end of to the
DMX IN of next machine. Connect all devices in series in this way.
h) Suggest to plug in a DMX terminator into the DMX OUT in last unit of machine to improve
signal reliability. Signal amplifier is required for long distance (>200m) DMX signal
transmission.
4. Activate SPARKULAR®JET by swipe RFID card

a) Swipe an RFID card. Read the card as show below. SPARKULAR® JET screen flash once if
read successfully.
b) SPARKULAR® JET will report E4 when remaining firing times is less than 10times.
c) Please note each RFID card come with 200g package HC8200 can increase single machine 30
firing times, the maximum recharge times each time for SPARKULAR® JET is 120 times,
when remaining firing times reached 120, it can’t recharge anymore RFID card.

5. Programming and Firing
a) Programming SPARKULAR® JET, set the “Material Select” in the menu according to the
consumable (HC8200 LARGE / MEDIUM / SMALL) you use.
b) Heating up and pressurize the machine, it takes around 8min.
c) Make sure the prescribed safety zone is clear.
d) Suggest to clear material before firing.
e) Firing. Between each firing there is a firing interval which is for the pressure recovery of the
built in pressure tank.
f) The operator should always have a clear view of the device, so that he/she can stop the
show immediately when there is danger.
g) Clear material for SPARKULAR® JET after show, clear material will remove the remaining
particles from heating chamber.
6. Turn off and clean up
a) Power off SPARKULAR® JET, allow SPARKULAR® JET to cool down.
b) Disconnect all POWER and DMX cables.
c) Empty the remaining HC8200 in hopper, and store the remaining HC8200 in a dry sealed
bottle for next time use. Never touch the output nozzle of SPARKULAR® JET when empty
the hopper. DANGER OF GET BURNT!
d) Operators can use handheld vacuum cleaner to empty the feeding hopper. Do make sure
the machine was cool down when clean it. Do NOT use high-power vacuum cleaners to
avoid hot consumables being sucked into the vacuum cleaner from the heating chamber
and cause fire.
e) Clean the surroundings to remove powder residues.

Δ Maintenance
a) Empty the feeding hopper before shipment of machine.
b) Empty the feeding hopper if long time not use, for high humidity environment we suggest
to empty feeding hopper after each show.
c) Clear material both before and after the show.
