Look Solutions Viper NT

The Look Solutions Viper NT, or just the Viper, is a high power smoke machine which can be operated manually, through a timer or over DMX.

Unlike hazers, such as the ZR24/7, smoke machines produce dense bursts of vapour similar in appearance to smoke or fog. These bursts do not last as long as those from a hazer.

Operation

Like our hazer, the Viper is usually one of the last things to be remembered to get rigged when setting up for a bop, but because it only needs connecting to the mains via an IEC lead, it doesn't take long.

To operate manually, simply press the key with the "Enter" arrow on to start, and again to stop. When not connected to DMX, a program number will be displayed on the LCD - this relates to the automatic timer programs. If DMX is attached, the address is displayed.

Troubleshooting

  • If no smoke is being produced, check (if appropriate) the DMX cable run. Check the fluid bottle is not empty and that the "Ready" light is lit. If the ready light is flashing, the unit needs to heat up. Wait for the light to go steady, then try again.
