Maintenance
The Nebula S-150 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect
the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Please
clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner. Do not use alcohol or
solvents.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the connections with a damp cloth.
Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Do not allow the snow liquid to become contaminated. Always replace the caps on the snow liquid
container and the snow machine liquid tank immediately after filling.
After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended to run a cleaning solution composed of
80% distilled water/20% white vinegar through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate
matter in the heating element.
When cleaning, use only a clean, lint-free soft cloth. An effective cleaning regimen is as follows:
1. While unit is unplugged and cool, unscrew nozzle at very front of unit and clean out debris with vinegar
and a pipe cleaner, making sure that the hole is free of clogs.
2. Empty all snow fluid from machine. Add cleaning solution to tank. Plug unit in and begin warm up.
3. Run unit in a well-ventilated area until tank is empty.
4. Replace nozzle and refill with liquid.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do
so.
1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.
2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will
come out.
3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
Troubleshooting
Showtec Nebula S-150
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
Always monitor tank fluid level as you are blowing snow. Running a snow machine with no fluid can
permanently damage the unit.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit
operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
If the snow machine does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
1. If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all, unplug immediately.
2. Check fluid level, the external fuse, remote connection, and power from the wall.
3. If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
4. If snow does not come out after holding the remote button down for 30 seconds, check the hose
attached to the tank to make sure there is fluid going through the hose.
5. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue pushing the remote
button, as this may damage the unit.
6. Return the machine to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card
malfunction.
1. Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
2. Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products ? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light
effect to a qualified technician.
