System Description
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
A system that consists of a 120 or 60 gallon stainless steel holding tank, an electric or pneumatic actuated shut-off valve, in-cab control switch, hosing and a foam eduction nozzle mounted to the monitor. ELECTRIC/PNEUMATIC SHUT-OFF VALVE
FOAM CONCENTRATE TANK A stainless steel tank mounted in the forward upper portion of the water tank. The holding tank contains a supply tube that extends to the bottom of the tank and connected to a flexible hose at the top of the tank and then routed to the foam agent shut-off valve. The tank also contains a pressure/vacuum cap which keeps foreign matter out of the tank while providing for pressure relief and air displacement during temperature changes.
The in-line shut-off valve is mounted on the foam tank upper lip and is controlled by the incab control FOAM switch. The shut-off valve is actuated by either an electric or pneumatic actuator that is controlled by the in-cab control switch. Once the shut-off valve is opened, foam concentrate will flow from the holding tank to the monitor nozzle if the monitor and water pump switches are ON. FOAM EDUCTION NOZZLE A manual or remote adjustable (fog/stream) nozzle is attached to the monitor waterway. The nozzle inner housing uses monitor high pressure water to create a venture effect that will create a suction force that pulls foam concentrate from the holding tank. Once foam concentrate is flowing, the nozzle proportions foam concentrate, water and air to produce finished foam. The nozzle can be adjusted to allow control of foam solution at a rate of 1%, 3% or 6%. Rate adjustment is obtained by replacing a removable disk.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION AND STORAGE

Ice will cause serious damage to water pump, spray heads, butterfly valves and the monitor if water is allowed to remain in the volute case, water piping or on top of a closed butterfly valve and freeze. Ensure all water is drained from system when the temperatures are expected to fall below freezing for any period of time. Failure to ensure all systems are drained and free from standing water will result in shaft, operator, diaphragm, drive motor, water pump or butterfly valve damage when operation is attempted with ice in the housings. To ensure all water is drained from tank check the following; 1. Park unit on a slight nose up angle to allow water to flow to the rear of the tank. 2. Drain the tank using an appropriate method until the Water Level Gauge reads EMPTY. 3. Open all drain petcocks (water pump, suction load pump, rear spray bar, front spray bar, etc.). N-16
