Host Controller with bi-directional communication with device, please allocate a unique DMX address for
each unit of uFlamer Volcano.
Press “Pre-heat” to start to pressurize uFlamer Volcano.
Firing the preset flame effect by enter the preset sequence No. to FIRING HEIGHT.

Δ Operation
1. Safety Distance
Definition and Instructions
Safety distance for uFlamer Volcano 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.
For uFlamer Volcano due to it with 5 flame heads, firing angle from -40° to +40°, operators should pay
special attention to the radius around machine (a) and safety distance at firing direction (b). Especially
when multi heads firing simultaneously the heat wave is enormous.
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 Volcano safety isolation zone is a three-dimensional space with an 80° fan-shaped section
enclosed by a and b (check below diagram). Unauthorized persons and objects are strictly prohibited from
entering
.

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.

Direction Explanation

There is direction explanation on top panel of uFlamer Volcano as show above picture.
1. 1 to 5 is 5 flame heads of uFlamer Volcano, Far Right is flame head 1, Middle is flame head 3, Far Left
is flame head 5.
2. Audience side and control side are indicated in above picture.

Label of uFlamer Volcano
The label is at rear panel of machine and information is show as below.

Fuels for uFlamer Volcano
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 Volcano 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 Volcano
a) Choose the correct nozzle, ensure the installation position of uFlamer Volcano meet above safe
distance requirements. New uFlamer Volcano supplied with a nozzle M which generate up to 10m
flame.
b) Horizontal installation is highly recommended for uFlamer Volcano.
c) Make sure uFlamer Volcano is securely installed. For truss installations always connect with safety
ropes to ensure extra safety. If there is any other national or regional guidelines please follow it
accordingly.
3. Connect Power and DMX cable to uFlamer Volcano
Before power and/or DMX cable connection, make sure safety lock of uFlamer Volcano stay at TEST
MODE as below.

If control by DMX, follow below steps:
a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of uFlamer Volcano. Connect the other end of
power cable to the power source. Each unit of uFlamer Volcano connected to power supply directly.
Make sure power supply in consistent with the rated voltage of the equipment, and the socket must
well grounded.
b) Power on machine.
c) Assign a DMX address for each unit of uFlamer Volcano. If use SHOWVEN host controller or
FXcommander to control the machine please allocate a unique DMX address for each unit of
machine.
d) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX IN socket of first unit of Volcano, another head of this DMX cable
connect to DMX console (such as FXcommander). Make sure the DMX console is powered off.
e) Connect a DMX cable to the DMX OUT socket of previous Volcano, and the other end to the DMX
IN of next machine. Connect all devices in series in this way.
f) 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.

If control by 9-60V pyro signal, follow below steps:
a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of uFlamer Volcano. Connect the other end of
power cable to the power source. Each unit of uFlamer Volcano connected to power supply directly.
Make sure power supply in consistent with the rated voltage of the equipment, and the socket must
well grounded.
Power on uFlamer Volcano.
b) Set the Ext Ignite to ON status in advanced interface, set the Ext Ignite Time. When use External
trigger, uFlamer Volcano can only firing 5 heads simultaneously.
c) Connect the power control cables to the 9-60V pyro signal connector on uFlamer Volcano.
d) Connect the other end of power control cables to the pyro controller (9-60V external trigger source).
Make sure the pyro controller is powered off.
4. Power ON the DMX console or pyro controller
5. Programming
Program the uFlamer Volcano with DMX console.
6. Test the ignition function of uFlamer Volcano
Test the ignition function of uFlamer Volcano, we can check whether the igniters of each unit of
Volcano are 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.
7. Fill the uFlamer Volcano
a) Please fill the machine with qualified fuel. The fuels suggested on Volcano are ISOPAR,
ISOPROPANOL, please make sure water content in fuel should less than 0.5%.
b) uFlamer Volcano can also support automatic fueling through SHOWVEN fueling station uPumper
Fueling, connect the Volcano and Fueling station through Fuel Input quick coupler.
c) For maximum safety, when use the uPumper Fueling only use fuel with flash point between 60-80°C,
ISOPAR L is highly recommended. ISOPROPANOL, Ethanol etc highly flammable fuels are forbidden
to use on uPumper Fueling.
8. Firing
a) Double confirm the prescribed safety isolation zone is clear, no person, animal or other property
within this region.
b) Switch the safety switch of uFlamer Volcano to USER MODE.

c) Pressurize uFlamer Volcano.
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.
9. Depressurize
Depressurize all uFlamer Volcano after use or if not use for a long time during the show we also
suggest to depressurize to ensure the safety.
10. Power OFF
a) Power OFF DMX console.
b) Switch safety switch of uFlamer Volcano to TEST MODE.
