Chauvet Printer B-550 Leaflet

Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET Bubble Machine. We are confident you

will enjoy many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we

have prepared this short guide.

This bubble machine has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either

120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your 

local voltage. Check the label on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.

Place the machine on a level surface and loosen the thumbscrew  on the front of the unitfor fluid

tank access, see diagram (fig.1). This will allow the whole of the top cover to be lifted revealing

the fluid tank in the base. Fill the tank with quality bubble fluid only. We recommend use of

CHAUVET bubble fluid (BJU) as it has been specially formulated for use with CHAUVET

bubble machines and produces the best results. Replace the cover and tighten screws. Plug into

the mains power and stand back in amazement as you fill the area with hundreds of bubbles!

The bubble machine must be used in a horizontal position sitting on a level surface or it may be

mounted using the bracket provided ensuring that the bubbles are not shooting directly at

anyone’s face or above areas of heavy traffic as bubble fluid leaves a slippery surface. Whatever

method of installation you choose, the bubble machine must not have more than a 5 degree

angle of inclination. We always suggest that for safety purposes use of a suitable hanging clamp

and safety cable is essential. CHAUVET offers a range of items, which are ideal for safe

mounting.

The B-550 accepts a range of Chauvet optional controllers. The mode selector switch on the rear

of the unit has 3 positions: On – Off – Controller. When in the “Controller” setting, the fan will

continue to run, but the wand wheel will be in standby awaiting a signal from the controller.

Optional Controllers:
Timer Remote (FCIECT-120V / FCIECT-230V)  

Wireless Remote (FCIECW-120V / FCIECW-230V)
Please see the appropriate user manual included with each controller for the instructions on use.

After every 40 hours of continuous operation or when the machine will be idle for a long time it is

recommended to rinse the bubble wands and fluid tank with warm water, to prevent a build-up of

residue which could reduce performance.

1.

While the unit is unplugged, loosen the thumbscrew and lift cover to reveal fluid tank.

2.

Empty all bubble fluid from the tank and replace with warm water. Plug the unit in and allow

it to run as usual until all wands appear to be free of residue.

3.

Cleaning is now complete. Unplug the unit from power and refill with bubble fluid.

The body of the unit may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Store dry.

Do not allow bubble fluid to become contaminated. Always replace cap after use.

Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any covers is

considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under any such agreement unless

authorized first by CHAUVET.

If you experience low output, or no output at all, unplug immediately. Check fluid level, the

external fuse, and main power supply. If all appear to be OK, plug the unit in again. If you are

unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply continue to use as this may damage

the unit. Contact CHAUVET for servicing.

•

Do not obstruct the bubble wands. Never allow children to place fingers inside the front of

the machine. Do not leave machine unattended.

•

Danger of Slipping. Bubble fluid produces a slippery residue. Do not leave machine

unattended.

•

Always disconnect from main power supply before cleaning or servicing.

Never use any other type of liquid other than recommended fluid. CHAUVET provides suitable

contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

•

Beware of overfilling or spillage. Always mount on a flat, level surface.
