CHAUVE DJ FC-T Wired Fog Machine Timer Remote + Cleaner - Reliable

In this review of the CHAUVET DJ FC-T wired timer remote with accompanying fog machine cleaner, the bottom line is simple: this bundle is for installers and performers who need dependable, hands-off fog bursts plus a maintenance fluid that helps keep water-based units performing. The wired remote automates fog output with clear LED status indicators, while the cleaner is formulated to flush the heater core and reduce buildup. For those who run H900, H1100 or H1300 series machines or other compatible CHAUVET units, this combo saves time on both show control and routine upkeep.

Key Features

• Wired timer remote: Triggers fog output automatically so operators can schedule consistent fog shots without manual activation.
• Compatibility: The remote plugs directly into CHAUVET H900, H1100 and H1300 machines, making it simple to integrate into existing setups.
• LED indicators: Two LEDs clearly show whether the machine is heating or ready, reducing guesswork during setup and performances.
• Adjustable output control: Multiple settings allow variation of fog shots and output volume to match stage, club, or rehearsal needs.
• Dedicated cleaner fluid: The Chauvet cleaner is formulated for water-based fog machines to cleanse the heater core and improve longevity.

Who It's For

This package is best for venue technicians, touring DJs and small production teams who use CHAUVET water-based fog machines and want a straightforward wired control option plus a maintenance fluid. The remote removes the need for constant manual triggering during a show, and the cleaner helps sustain consistent output over time.

Users who need wireless multi-unit synchronization or advanced DMX automation should look elsewhere, since the FC-T is a wired timer intended for direct plug-in control of compatible CHAUVET foggers rather than as a full wireless system controller.
