Frontier FM-3000 Training Smoke Generator Operator’s Manual
Note: PLEASE READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING
Introduction The Frontier FM-3000 Training Smoke Generator is a Water Based Fog Generating System. The FM-3000 is for users who need a lot of fog along with a lot of control. This machine features a remote to allow the user to closely control the duration, interval, and volume of fog produced. Built with durability, power, and safety in mind Includes a remote which allows you to control output from a distance Uses water based fluid that leaves no residue and is safe to breath Small size to fit tight locations Optional wireless remote available Efficient fluid consumption rate Reliable high output Overheat thermal protection High performance smoke fluid gives you thick, realistic smoke you desire but in a harmless and residue free form Water Base Fog Technology Water Base Fog Technology is achieved by pumping a glycol/water mixture through a heat exchanger. This will vaporize the fluid as it passes through the processing block. The vaporization of the fluid forces the hot mixture through the output nozzle. When mixed with ambient air, it forms an opaque aerosol (fog). The fog is made up of tiny droplets that form around small particles in the air. The suspended droplets refract the light, allowing the fog to take on the color of the light illuminating it.
Warning Important Safety Instructions: Please follow all notices about operation. The safety and repair instructions are to ensure the machine stays in excellent condition and to avoid bodily harm. 1. Keep the machine clean. 2. Keep the machine in a horizontal position. Do no place on an incline or upside down. 3. Power off and unplug after use. 4. This machine is not waterproof. If there is humidity, water, or fog liquid inside, please switch the power off and contact your distributor as soon as possible. 5. No spare parts are included with the machine. If your machine requires repair or service, please contact your distributor.
Safety Precautions 1. Ensure that any operation of the machine is supervised by suitably trained and authorized personnel. 2. Do not modify the machine or use a machine which has been damaged in any way. 3. Allow sufficient air circulation around the machine at all times. 4. Avoid directing fog output continuously at people, structures or objects within close proximity of the discharge nozzle. 5. Ensure that adequate exhausting arrangements are available in the event of an emergency. 2
6. Please use the high quality fog liquid recommended by your distributor. 7. Always check the machine has sufficient amount of fog liquid prior to use. 8. Remove all fog liquid and thoroughly clean the machine prior to transporting or long periods of non-use. 9. Do not place hands or exposed skin within the first 20” (50 cm) of the discharge nozzle at any time during fog production. 10. Fog effects can trigger smoke alarms and detectors. Please take suitable precautions to prevent false alarms.

Frontier FM-3000 Training Smoke Generator WFR#: 590000743 Frontier FM-3000 Training Smoke Generator 474cmx38cmx29cm 14.5kg 40,000 cfm 9 min./1L at 100% output 11 minutes 3000 Watt 2L 30 feet 32 lbs. (14.5 Kg) 120 Volt A.C. 50/60 Hz. 12 Amps.; 3000W Water Based Only Indoor Use, -20C to +40C Remote Activation FOB
Operating Procedure 1. Plug machine in outlet and turn the switch “ON”. The red LED light will turn on once the machine has heated up. Takes 5 minutes 2. Press the controller and the machine will begin to spray the fog. 3. The red LED of remote console light means the machine has heated up sufficiently to spray fog. Fog will stop when heater cools and needs time to reheat. 4. The machine can be placed either on the ground or up high using a hanger. Do not spray fog directly towards a person and the machine should be at an angle less than 15°. 5. Always check that the machine has enough fog liquid in it prior to use. If the machine is used without fog liquid it will cause major damage to the machine. 6. If there is only a small amount of fog, no fog, or if there is a loud noise, please power the machine off and check the fog liquid, the fuse and/or the connection of the console with the power source. If the problem is not solved, contact your distributor for repair.
Repairs 1. Clean the smoke generator regularly to avoid damage. 2. After 40 hours of continuous use, please use an 80% distilled water and 20% vinegar mixture to flush out any dirt or build up inside the machine. 3. Disassemble the spray nozzle and use vinegar to clean it. 4. Install the spray nozzle and add for liquid for next use.
