Interpretations of "how it works" vary between people, so yes we did explain it as it has helped others. For you, theres a 30+ minute video on our channel that explains your request of "how it works", as well as other videos that go more in depth. Thank YOU much.

This definitely wins comment of the Year! Watch out on future videos as we will implement a time card house now that you mention it!

This depends on batch. Some are and some are not. The CSA Certification cost a decent amount to continuously keep as they randomly inspect not only the facility but also random machines. We've heard about NJ and them checking on this also!

Hi, Indoor Vs Outdoor could be summarized by the actual size of the granules themselves. There are Small-Medium-Large. Imagine individual grains of sand (granules) this SM-M-L is the size of those individual grains. The smaller the grain the quicker the burnout/glow period, the larger=longer.

Yes there is, depending on machine type there will be a feature/option in the menu labeled "Manual" or "Manual Operation"

Great question, we have a video being released soon on just this. Stay tuned!

Yes you can, CryoFX.com

Hi, This may be battery issue. Feel free to visit CryoFX.com/repairs for help on fixing your machine.

Thanks for comment. On brand new machines, there may be a slight amount present while the heating element and other items "wear in" for lack of better words. Generally there should be no smoke, which in specific terms when used in larger area will not affect fire alarms. Smaller confined spaces have less space avail so sampling size for fire alarms is more frequent/larger therefore will set off alarms. Every situation is different and without seeing your garage this is the comments we can offer.

@@Cryofx thanks!

Typically you can wait until the event is done however we have seen some machines that when left too long may become jammed. This could be after much use or after many times being left on (heated) whereas the granules in the heating chamber burn up. Another trick we do is prime the machine (test until small amount of sparks come out) then use the clear function (activates the heating coil cork screw only - not the top cork screw feeding more grans in to heater) so you will still get the spark shooting out (only limited amount since your clearing it) but you'll also clear the heating chamber at same time. This has worked on live sets/movie sets/events where we cannot access the machines for long periods of time.

HI, Yes however all machines have to be addressed to channel 1 since they take 2 channels each, you cant use one with channel 1 and the other with channel 3 because there is no channel 4 on the Chauvet Obey 3 controller.

Hi, Shipping is generally within 1-2 days, unless there is a part of the order that may be back ordered, such as granules or power cord. Split shipping can be provided at this point to prevent a delay. Any shipping delays are the responsibility of the carrier as we have seen delays in all carriers recently for all versions and speed of shipping selected.

HI, Great question, simple answer YES! Depending on machine they will take between 50-200 grams. Mini Sparkular take 50grams, most other machines mini or large/regular size would take 200. We fill just under that to ensure theres nothing crammed in the chamber. Too much crammed into the chamber will place unneeded pressure on the corkscrew funneling the grans into machine which ultimately will wear it out faster (same concept when you compact the granules down by moving the machine in some instances).

Great question! Generally around 600ºC / 1112ºF!

@@Cryofx Thank you for getting back to me!!

Every location is different, however we do recommend checking with Fire Dept or conducting a controlled test beforehand. Due to the different types of sensors (Photoelectric, Ionization, Laser etc) each has its own sampling parameters so while some may easily setoff, others may not. Distance comes into play as well. Generally these machines don't emit much "smoke" at all however just because the eye doesn't pickup on it, doesn't mean the smaller particles wont set them off.
