Δ DMX CONTROL
uFlamer with 3 different channel mode: 2CH-P, 2CH-N and 6CH.
2CH-P:
In this channel mode uFlamer occupies 1 functional channel and 1 separate safety channel (this channel is
independent from operational channel, can be shared with other machine).

2CH-N:
In this channel mode uFlamer occupies 2 functional channel.

6CH:
In this channel mode uFlamer occupies 6 functional channel. This channel mode is designed to control the
uFlamer together with CIRCLE FLAMER on our Host Controller.

Δ Control with SHOWVEN Host Controller ZK6200/ZK6300
If use SHOWVEN Host Controller ZK6200 or ZK6300 to program the uFlamer, after set DMX channel
mode on uFlamer please also set on Host Controller. The setting step is:
Press “F3” on Host Controller – find “Device” – choose the right device “CIRCLE FLAMER” (6CH mode).
Host Controller with bi-directional communication with device, please allocate a unique DMX address for
each unit of uFlamer.
FIRING HEIGHT is meaningless, just need to set the FIRING DURATION.

Δ Operation
1. Safety Distance
Definition and Instructions
Safety distance for uFlamer divided into two parts safety radius around machine (a) and safety distance at
firing direction (b). No person and flammable materials are allowed to stay inside the safety isolation zone
when flamer was armed.
The safety radius around machine depends on the firing height (nozzle size).
For safety distance at firing direction equals to maximum firing height * 1.5.

The uFlamer safety isolation zone (show as below) is a cylindrical three-dimensional space with Safety
radius around machine (a) and Height of b. Unauthorized persons and objects are strictly prohibited from
entering.
For angled installation, the safety distance both around machine and firing direction should shift
accordingly.

Safety distance in windy environment
The safety isolation zone radius (a) increase with wind direction and wind speed (v, m/s). The safety
distance in windy conditions can be calculated as below:
For Nozzle L: a = 2.5 + v;
For example when the wind speed is 3m/s, we use the Nozzle L, then the safety isolation zone radius
should be 5.5m.
CAUTION:
When the wind speed ≥ 8m/s (wind force ≥ 5), please use it with caution. When wind speed ≥ 17m/s
wind force ≥ 8 , please stop use flamer.

Safety mark

Label of uFlamer

Fuels for uFlamer
1. Water content in fuel should less than 0.5%
2. For maximum safety, please use fuel with flash point between 60-80°C, ISOPAR L is highly
recommended.
3. Ethanol is not suggested due to three reasons, first ethanol is highly flammable makes it not as safe as
ISOPAR; secondly the color of flame is very weak; thirdly there are always high water content (> 0.5%)
in ethanol.
4. Colored fuels are forbidden to use on uFlamer it may damage the machine.
SHOWVEN excludes liability for the losses, damages and accidents caused by not using qualified fuels in
accordance with this requirement.
Always have a dry powder fire extinguisher, a CO2 fire extinguisher and an extinguishing blanket next to
the equipment in case of needed. And someone must be on duty during operation. In case accident
occurs, a dry powder fire extinguisher can be used when the fire is large, and a carbon dioxide fire
extinguisher can be used when the fire is small.

2. Install uFlamer
a) Choose the correct nozzle, ensure the installation position of uFlamer meet above safe distance
requirements. New uFlamer supplied with a nozzle M which generate up to 10m flame.
b) Horizontal installation is preferred for uFlamer. If need to install uFlamer in angles, to avoid fake
error message please turn the TIP Setting and Low fuel switch to OFF status first. uFlamer with
maximum tilt angle of 45° or -45°, and it can be angled to two directions as show in below picture.
Besides please be aware the fuel level in fuel tank to avoid fuel leakage when tilt installation.
c) For truss installations always connect with safety rope to ensure extra safety. If there is any other
national or regional guidelines please follow it accordingly.
d) Double confirm the machine was firmly installed.

3. Connect Power and DMX cable to uFlamer
Before power and/or DMX cable connection, make sure safety button of uFlamer stay at TEST MODE.
When safety button is pressed down, it is USER MODE; when it pops up, it is TEST MODE. So before
connect power and DMX cable make sure the safety button of uFlamer pops up.
a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of uFlamer. 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) Each unit of uFlamer can be connected to power supply directly. 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 POWER IN of the next machine. Do not connect exceed units to a single
electrical circuit.
c) Power on all uFlamer. Check the safety button, double confirm it stays at “TEST MODE”.

d) Assign DMX address for each unit of uFlamer. If use SHOWVEN host controller or FXcommander to
control the machine please allocate a unique DMX address for each unit of machine.
e) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX IN socket of first unit of uFlamer, another head of this DMX cable
connect to DMX console (such as FXcommander). Make sure the DMX console is powered off.
f) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX OUT socket of previous uFlamer, and the other end to the DMX
IN of next machine. Connect all devices in series in this way.
g) 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. Power ON the DMX console and programming
Power on DMX console and program the uFlamer effect on DMX console

5. Test the ignition function of uFlamer
Test the ignition function of uFlamer, we can check whether the igniters of each unit of uFlamer is
working fine. Due to the safety switch is stay at TEST MODE the pump won’t work, there will be only
ignition while no fuel spray out, so no flames generated.

6. Fill the uFlamer
Please fill the machine with qualified fuel. The fuels suggested on uFlamer are ISOPAR, ISOPROPANOL,
please make sure water content in fuel should less than 0.5%.

7. Firing
a) Double confirm the prescribed safety isolation zone is clear, no person, animal or other property
within this region.
b) Switch the safety button of uFlamer to USER MODE.

c) Pressurize uFlamer.
d) Firing, the operator should always have a clear view of the device, so that he/she can stop the show
immediately when there is danger.

8. Depressurize
Depressurize all uFlamer after use or if not use for a long time during the show we also suggest to
depressurize to ensure the safety.

9. Power OFF
a) Power OFF DMX console
b) Switch safety switch of uFlamer to TEST MODE
c) Power OFF uFlamer
d) Unplug power cable, DMX cable.

specifications are as below:

Δ Maintenance
1. To maintain the system in good performance and running status, it is recommended to running the
device at least once per month.
2. Check the ignition probes both before and after each show, if there is any foreign objects on it please
clean it up.
3. Maintenance of the nozzle: Nozzle needs to be cleaned from time to time, and it is recommended that
once every six months (depending on the environment and frequency of use). In the process of using
the equipment, if the flame shape is seriously deformed or the fuel injection line is significantly
deformed or coarsened, the nozzle should be removed immediately for cleaning. If after clean, there
are still problems please replace new nozzle.
4. Maintenance of the O-ring: If it is found that the O-ring of the nozzle is damaged or ageing when
cleaning the nozzle, the O-ring should be replaced in time (material and size of O-ring: fluororubber O-
ring, the outermost diameter is 14 mm, and the line diameter is 2 mm).
