Timer Controller Antari Z-8 (model 5170298Y) — external timer for fog/atmosphere machines

The Antari Z-8 timer controller is an external timing unit designed to automate fog and atmosphere machines. Intended for integration with compatible Antari devices, this controller provides scheduled on/off control to produce consistent fog effects during events, performances, installations, and other applications where repeatable timing is required. The device simplifies operation by handling intervals and durations without the need for continuous manual activation.

Advantages

The Antari Z-8 offers reliable interval timing and straightforward connectivity to fog machines, enabling precise repeatable output. Its external form factor allows placement near equipment racks or control areas, reducing the need to access the fog machine directly. The controller supports programmable on and off intervals to meet timing requirements for shows, special effects, or venue atmospherics.

How to use

Connect the Antari Z-8 controller to a compatible fog or atmosphere machine following the manufacturer’s connection guidelines. Set the desired on and off times using the controller’s interval and duration controls to match the timing required for your application. Place the controller in a stable, dry location near the fog machine or central control area. Once programmed, the unit will switch the fog machine on and off according to the set schedule, eliminating the need for manual triggering during operation.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your specific fog machine model before installation. Use the controller in indoor environments and protect it from moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct exposure to fog fluid. Test timing settings during a rehearsal or before public use to confirm desired effect frequency and duration.
