CHAUVET DJ FC-T Wired Timer Remote for Fog Machines | Auto Fog Control, LED Status | Fits Hurricane 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000

I have a Chauvet Hurricane 1100; this timer works perfectly with it (as you'd expect). It has the variable time, plus continuous and manual modes. All work well. (Continuous is mostly continuous; sometimes the fogger has to pause to reheat.) The only caveat is, this has a round plug, which some foggers use, not the IEC320C connection common to cheap foggers, PC power supplies and some A/V equipment. So this works with the Chauvet 1100 but NOT the Chauvet 700. The inexpensive foggers sold at department stores (usually 400 Watt units) don't put out the quantity of fog that more expensive units do, but also take a different connector. Those need the other connection. (For the curious, my 1100 using Swampy's Fog Juice puts out perhaps six times denser/more fog than my 400W unit does, but it also cost 3 times as much, so I'd consider it essentially a value-wash.)

I've owned a Chauvet Hurricane 1301 for several years and the remote died on me (probably got a wire pinched internally), so I ordered this hoping for the best -- it's just like my previous one and works great.

Works with my Eliminator 1300, but knobs are not calibrated very well. A 5 min time interval causes it to go off every 90 seconds. A 10 min interval results in a 3 1/2 min delay. Don't depend on the knobs.

This remote timer allows you to set the duration and time between bursts of fog. So you can set it to make a 5 second burst every 30 seconds or a 30 second burst every 90 seconds etc. Depending on your fogger you may have to give it a longer interval to reheat. It also has a manual button to give extra bursts on demand and a continuous button to make your fogger pump out as much fog as it can. I believe it may also work with other Chauvet products, but not sure. The product description, however, is lacking. It does not describe the specific models that it works with. This remote does NOT work with the Chauvet Hurricane 700, which is what I bought it for. The description simply says it works with "most" models. It would be better if the description had a model list. I have used the timer with a Chauvet 1100 and it worked well so that's what my review is based on. So 4 out of 5 stars for a lacking description. Overall, a really great product that I would use again. I would change my review to 5 stars if the product description is updated.

The remote I ordered is the FC-T which is what this review is for. The FC-T has an Output Control knob as well as the Interval and Duration knobs. At the time of this review it is not what was pictured in the Amazon listing which only shows the Interval and Duration knobs. I like having the Output control though it was not critical and certainly not a deal breaker, just a nice bonus. This remote has a nice long cord and a magnetic back which is also a nice feature. It seems well built with sturdy plastic like my other remotes of this style. My others have lasted for years, I expect this one will too. I purchased this to add timer remote capability to my American DJ VF1300 which has a similar 5 pin controller connection but comes with a wireless manual remote which is really only usefull for testing purposes since no one wants to sit there and have to hit a manual remote throughout the course of an event. The question for me was would it work with my VF1300 since they are two different makes, Chauvet and ADJ. Well I tested it today, my house is full of fog and it seems to be working great so I'm happy as a clam! While you are shopping keep in mind this is a 5 pin connector and not typical of your average grocery store fogger. So in my experience today the Chauvet FC-T works great with the ADJ VF1300 fog machine!

I purchased this for use with my Hurricane 901. As others have mentioned, the description simply says works with "most" Chauvet fog machines. So I searched online and found the manual. According to the manual, it mentions that the "output" knob doesn't work with some models, such as the 901. Ok, well if they mention that knob specifically doesn't work with the 901, that must mean the other features do, right? Wrong! While the 901 does have the 5-pin connector, I cannot get the timer function to work. As soon as I plug it in, the "continuous light" comes on and stays lit. At first I thought maybe it was an issue with the timer, fortunately I bought two. I plugged the second one in, same issue. Then I thought, "ok maybe it's an issue with the fog machine," again, fortunately I bought two. Nope, same issue. So two timers doing the same thing with two different 901s. Turns out this is a somewhat common occurrence if you dig through the reviews here. While it does work for the continuous function, neither the manual, nor timer functionalities seem to work with the Hurricane 901. I mention this because most of the reviews here seem to be from 1100/1101 owners who love the timer. It may be a great timer for those folks, but since no where does the description or manual mention any limitations with the 901 other than the output knob not working, it's worth the warning for all those who might want this for use with their Hurricane 901. If you want continuous fog, this will work great. Anything else, I guess you need to get a more expensive fogger...

This is good value for the money. The Chauvet machine works well with this controller. It can be set up quickly and easily. Very professional appearance

This will work with Chauvet machines that have the round 6-pin connector on the back (like the Chauvet Hurricane 1100 fog machine and the Chauvet Bubble King). This will NOT work with Chauvet machines that have a 3-pin C-13 style remote connector (like the Chauvet Hurricane 700 fog machine), and this will not work with other brands of machines. If you want your system to run itself, without investing in a DMX-512 setup, this is the way to go. It has the same function as the basic remote, plus the option to lock in the on position, or run on a timer. So far, mine has been working just fine.

Bedienung super einfach, die Installation erfolgt in Sekunden. Ich habe schon lange nach einer guten Fernbedienung mit Timer gesucht und diese ist einfach perfekt. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Came well packaged, with simple but clear instructions. Worked brilliantly for my Halloween display, keeping a large cauldron filled with fog - just plugged it in to my Chauvet 901 fog machine, set the duration and interval timing with the simple twist dials and left it to do its thing. The additional button to give it a manual burst, if required, was an added bonus, but I never had to use it for my particular situation. Potential buyers should be aware that this unit works with MOST but not all Chauvet fog machines (I cannot speak for other makes) so I checked before I bought and was told... "The FC-T will work on the Hurricane 901, 1100, 1101(new Version), 1300, 1301(new version), 1800... but NOT with the 700 or 701"

Convient à l utilisation pour une soirée complète On branche ça marche Pas besoin de pile ou d autre chose

muy bueno

This is a great device but does not fit all fog machines. I had to replace the end with a new end that was compatible with my fog machine. I also bought the fog machine from Amazon. Once I fixed it it worked excellent.
