Introduction
The Le Maitre MVS hazer is the latest in the range of high specification hazers and
as such will fulfil the majority of applications where higher demands are required.
It utilizes the original and patented technique of producing haze via an easily
replaceable ‘conversion’ tube, whilst at the same time benefits from advances made
during the development of its larger partner, the Stadium hazer.
Larger diameter conversion tubing, higher power air pumps, phase delayed high
sided current control, higher temperature cleaning regimes all add to the advances
made in more output and greater reliability.
The MVS features an integral Four channel current protocol DMX, digital
programming, a digital display and a unique airflow system.
Volume output is now controllable as is the projection distance of the haze. Again,
unique digital control of the two incorporated high power fans allows for not only
the projection power but the angle of that projection relative to the position of the
machine. Haze output angles can be electronically adjusted through a full 90
degrees. At no time does the haze come into contact with guides or structures which
normally leads to a build up of condensate and residues.
Two communicating processor devices are employed in the control of the machine,
allowing for efficient and dedicated control of their connected devices.
The control panel processor includes non volatile memory which allows for all
settings to be retained in that memory, and recalled upon start up. This is ideal for
club or theatre set ups where a ‘switch on and go’ mode is required.
The latest high temperature conversion tube cleaning technique requires just a two
minute operation from initial switch on and is no longer required during the
machine run time.
The MVS itself has been designed with user operation and installation in mind and
as such can be used in multiple positions. The base support plate can be adjusted to
physically support the machine at multiple angles, whilst the separate bottle carrier
can be used either attached or separated from the machine.
Le Maitre believes that this machine is one of the most effective and versatile haze
machines currently available anywhere in the world, and is backed up by our usual
high level of technical and sales communication networking. All details of the MVS

The Haze button allows an instant on/off switching in the Manual mode, so that the
haze output setting need not be reduced to zero in order to switch the effect off.
Cycled Feature Explanation.
HAZE
Volume
of
Haze
vapour
produced
PROJ
Output power of fans effecting projection distance
DIR
Relative power of fans effecting angle of projected haze
SWP
Speed of automatic direction variation, sweeping the
output of haze. This overrides the Direction setting, and
can be set to “Off”. If the sweep is on, then the setting of
the Direction angle will have the following effect.
0 degrees
— sweep will be from 0 to 45 degrees.
45 degrees
— sweep will be a full 0 to 90 degrees.
90 degrees
— sweep will be from 45 to 90 degrees.
DMX
Allows the first DMX channel in the sequence of four
to be set. This will be the Haze output
USE2, USE3, USE4 allows the channels following the set DMX channel to be used
(ON) or rejected (OFF). If a channel is set as OFF then the manual set value will be
used. This allows the user to make full use of a restricted amount of DMX channels
if enough channels are not available on a control unit. It also allows simplified DMX
control if the full range of MVS features do not need to be varied.
In the DMX mode, the upper Led ( Store / DMX status) will indicate if a correct
dmx signal is being received. If the selection on the display is set to Haze, Projection,
Direction or Sweep, then DOFF will also appear if the dmx signal is not correct.
The main display will show the variation in value as the dmx signal is varied for the
selected feature. Note – Once DMX is selected, the SELECT buttons are inhibited,
so in order to display the DMX variations, the required feature (Haze, Projection
etc) should be active before selecting the DMX mode. Simply switch back to manual
mode and select another feature to display its DMX variation, then switch the DMX
on again.
Normally there should be no need to ‘prime’ fluid into the system. If there are
pockets of air and fluid in the pipe, these will be removed as the pump is activated
during normal haze output. It might take a few minutes to completely free the air
pockets, but no harm is caused during this process. Should it be felt necessary to
prime the system quickly, then this can be done by switching to DMX control
