Unique-2 E-8 Error
By AndrewE June 9, 2011 in Effects & Pyro

I have a Unique 2 hazer on hire this week which has today started giving an E-8 error, which I understand from the manual is a clogged vaporiser. I have a replacement on order for tomorrow, but for the sake of having some kind of working haze today, is there anything I can do myself to unclog it?
Many thanks!

You could try running de-ionised water through it but apart from that, it's a unique, it's dead unill you replace the HEM (vaporiser) oh I recommend you wear gloves when working inside as the vape is covered in a wad of fibreglass and they tend to get fluid everywhere somehow. Enjoy!

could try gently squeezing the clear tube that runs the length of the machine whilst pump and fan is at 100%,but the hire company might get upset.Next time make sure its shut down correctly
Yes I did try the squeezing but to no avail. Managed to get it to activate for a few seconds at a time before it reported the error again. Maybe if I'd persevered I may have had some luck eventually ...
I am very anal about following the shutting down procedure on the Unique and always make sure that it is.
Anyway, replacement was received and faulty unit is on its way back. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Had the same.... again.
Someone didn't wait for the clean up procedure to finnish before cutting the power.
However, found a new way of unclogging the thingie.
Very quickly, before the hazer even realizes it has an error, when powering up, went to the menu and turned it off. Did this a few times, and got it to go through the whole cleaning up sequence. Then plugged it in and everything was fine.
It takes a bit of finger juggling, but would suggest trying.

Are you using them at a very low level Pump & fan?
They seem a lot more prone to clogging up that way, understandably. I've found if you can run them at full pump & fan for a few minutes every few days then it runs the pipes through, and won't be as grumpy if you miss the odd shutdown.

I'm not sure how the Unique 1 works, but the Unique 2 I repaired last year had an aquarium air pump which was pushing air through the heater constantly. Haze fluid is introduced into the air stream by the fluid pump. Just leaving the hazer powered up, but with the pump off, for about 5 minutes should be all you need to do before turning it off. I think that all the 'shutdown' procedure does is keep the machine running, but with the fluid pump off so that the air pump can push any remaining fluid out of the machine.
The manufacturers of the Unique don't recommend using any kind of cleaning solution, but if your machine is out of warranty it can be worth trying. I've running a 50/50 mix of distilled water and white vinegar through my machine to clean it. If you try this, do it outside! You could also try working a thin single strand of copper wire through the heater block. This will help break down any carbon deposits clogging the block. Both of these options are worth trying if you've got a blocked heater. If it works then its cheaper than buying a new heater.
- 3 weeks later...
Gyro's method with the nozzle clearing is right, I use a thin drill bit with a pair of grips & twist it into the end of the nozzle to gently break up any crap built up & power her up with the pump at full immediately.
I'd say 8/10 times this eventually clears enough crap out for the unit to splutter & then suddenly kick into gear although may take a few goes at unblocking, same goes for trying this with de-ionised water which would work better but might not always be at hand.
Shutting it down properly & repeatedly after each attempt helps it to clear the fluid line too so be patient :/
Aswell as that I've found sometimes the pipe leading out from the canister can split at the valve entry, causing an air leak & a drop in pressure, in our case this is always due to some silly herbert not removing this line from the canister before putting the lid back on the flightcase, or on the wrong way around. (Not sure if our cases are specifically made for these units tho, but worth checking.)If there's a tiny split just cut back the pipe & re-seat onto the valve.
If you have time on your hands & the above just plain ain't working out you'll need to get into the unit & check the air pump (lung) as Gyro mentioned, as fluid may have entered it. You can take this apart & clean it out & bleed the fluid line but it's not a quick solution, and bloody messy!! :)
- 3 months later...
I've found this service manual online that may be of help if anyone has same problem. If you are getting the E8 error it's detecting fluid at the sensor so it's either going to be the air pump or the HEM unit.
When I took ours apart after running with an intermittent E8 error and nothing like full output I discovered that the air pump was full of fluid. It's still not giving full output so next I'm going to try unblocking the HEM as fluid is being pulled back into the airline blocking it.

Thanks for the link - worked fine for me! :)
My Unique 2.1 started smelling of burning and got complaints from the cast last night, so I shall try cleaning with a 50:50 mix of Distilled water and White Vinegar as suggested here:

Tour Hazer II
![tour hazer 2 error 8 Worlds best water based Hazer System](https://smoke-factory.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Logo-black-long-01.png)
State of the Art for over 15 Years
By smoke factory.
Water based Hazer the safest way to make Haze
2 dmx channels for very fine haze or fog-like output.
The Tour Hazer II is controlled by two DMX channels. So it is possible to control the internal fan and the Haze-Output independently. With the help of the fan of the Haze produced can be widely distributed in the venue, and it does not require C02 or anything similar for operation.
No residue for lasting memories
Oily residues belong to the past. Thanks to the high-quality water-based Tour Hazer fluid you need not worry about residue on stage or in other equipment. Save yourself the time on cleaning and concentrate on the essentials. Create the perfect light show for your guests to marvel about.
Flexible in all positions
„Behind the drummers are only 30 cm of space!“ „No Problem, simply tilt the Hazer on its side!“ Thanks to the closed and robust hose system inside the Tour Hazer it can be tilted and operated on eather side. If you want to direct the haze directly towards the ground, it does not matter if it is laying on its side or completely upside down. Only the side where the air vent is located should remain exposed, and the direction of the haze can easily be changed due to the 45° adjustable air baffle.
Just a little bit more to connect.
Thanks to the PowerCon TRUE1 connector, short cables are a thing of the past. If necessary, you can easily connect a longer cable with a PowerCon TRUE1 plug. Neutrik connectors are known for their extreme robustness and reliability. The locking system prevents accidental removal of the plug while connected to the power source and eliminates the danger of shock.
The classical touring unit
Since the first version in 2000, the Tour Hazer has been developed for mobile use utilizing robust components and a case that contains all required materials which can withstand the impact of a fall from a loading dock. Plug it in and let the show begin.
„S“ Standard Case Vintage Look
Since 2006, the Tour Hazer has been available in the „Standard Case“ or „Vintage Look“ version. Made in Germany, these cases are ideal to withstand the rugged wear and tear of touring. Reinforced by ball corners and heavy duty hardware, the Tour Hazer is well prepared for transport on tour.
„SF“ BLACK
Back in Black. Also manufactured in Germany, the Tour Hazer II „SF“ Black comes with black lamination. It is well prepared for tough on stage performances without looking „down rocked“ afterwards.
„A“ Amptown
The high-end version of the Tour Hazer II is presented in an Amptown Case. With thicker wood and robust profiles, it is the ideal partner for a world tour or the bulk distributor with more than 300 operating calendar days.
Touring or fixed installation
Perfect, whether you wish to utilize our Tour Hazer on a large world tour, or as a sole unit on a musical stage. We are flexible.
Tour Hazer II „BOXED“
No profiles, no boxed lid. The Tour Hazer in its smallest and simplest version. Ideal for theaters, permanent installations in discotheques, laser tag halls or for mobile DJ’s require no touring unit. The canister slot can accommodate a 3ltr. Canister of Tour Hazer fluid which can generate up to 72 hours continuous haze on reduced output.
Consumption
Thanks to the special Tour Hazer fluid, the Tour Hazer II consumes very little fluid. Each drop of fluid is used efficiently, making it possible to create continuously generated Haze for up to 120 hours (5 days) with a 5ltr. canister.
Super Silent
The high-quality components in the Tour Hazer II make an extremely quiet operation possible. The air pump regulates itself automatically during operation, and depending on the amount of fluid consumption the Hazer will operate much quieter.
Self-Cleaning Mode
With the Tour Hazer II in “off mode”, it is able to clean itself when the show is finished. The “off mode” can either be started manually or will automatically start after the DMX console is turned off for several seconds activating the built-in air pump to clean the heater and hoses thus ensuring a long life of the components.

Tour Hazer II “BOXED” discontinued as of 01.03.2024.
Unobtrusive, but efficient, the room fills with a delicate
Designer Haze. Ideal for beam effects & moving light shows.
Mist volume & fan separately adjustable, also via DMX.
Ready for transport in three different touring cases or in the handy BOXED version.
The Tour Hazer II “BOXED” is delivered in a handy wooden box.
Made in Germany
Description
Additional information.
The BOXED version was discontinued on 01.03.2024. All other case versions are available as usual.
The Tour Hazer II is a hazer with stage experience worldwide.
Detailed information is available at www.tourhazer.de .
Due to the water-based fluid, a clean production of fine haze is possible. The special fluid of the Tour Hazer enables us to minimize the consumption of the device. The Tour Hazer II requires only 1 ml/m for 40% performance. A 3ltr. canister Tour Hazer Fog is sufficient for 50 hours, i.e. 2 days continuous Haze.
Two DMX channels provide an individual effect that can be adjusted from very fine, barely visible haze to fog-like output.
With the BOXED Case, the device is immediately set up. Just 60 seconds after plugging in the power cable, the Tour Hazer II is heated up and ready for use.
Another advantage of the case design is commissioning in almost any position. Only on the side with the load inlet, the device should not be tilted during operation. This allows the Tour Hazer II to be placed optimally even on small stages.
With the variable air baffle, the Haze can still be directed in the desired direction.
The use of high-quality materials guarantees a long service life of the device.
Only the Tour Hazer Fluid should be used in order to use the device effectively and to maintain its long service life!
If original fluid is used, we grant 3 years warranty on our devices.

Fog Machine. As quiet as a mouse thanks to new low-noise components and design. Discreetly but efficiently fills the air with a fine designer haze. Ideal for beam effects and moving light shows. BGV C1 certified fog system. Please use only original Tour Hazer fluid for the Tour Hazer as other fluids can clog the device.
A tube that is heated and the fluid runs through. Remove it from the hazer. Be careful with it, the heat coil and wires are pretty fragile. You will need to unblock the tube. I use a guitar string. Also if you have a syringe or squirt bottle, shoot some hydrogen peroxide through it. You can also use canned air.
