It also features variable output. At the heart of the MDG ATMe is an electronic assembly that keeps the heat exchanger at a very stable temperature, with three different types of fail-safe systems. Those three types of electronic fail-safe systems are designed to protect against over and under-heating conditions and against component failure. - Page 7 ATMe, Haze Generator Haze fluid reservoir Haze output Handle nozzle Downward Fan USB Connector Keyboard MAIN POWER Switch XLR-5 DMX/ RDM Connector VAC Input or N Gas input 100-240 VAC (50-60 psi) 50/60 Hz User Guide, Rev: C/e, March 2023...

Page 14: Operating Instructions
When powering up the generator, the control program configures the Input/Output, and loads the configuration parameters saved in the EEPROM memory. At this point, the MDG ATMe switches to stand-by mode, and most of the electronic controls are off. When the generator is manually switched to «UNIT ON» mode («CONTROLUNITON»), the program starts the heating cycle («STATUSSTATE = % HEAT»), which will last approximately 7 to 8 minutes. -
