SYSTEM COMPONENTS

MONITOR

Monitor – 7100

The monitor is specially designed for severe duty cycles. Unique waterway swivel joints utilize stainless steel thrust rods and needle roller thrust bearings for unprecedented durability in mining, construction, and wild land firefighting applications. The monitor can be controlled by hardwired input devices via CAN bus or by an optional upgraded Radio Frequency (RF) device. The monitor may be powered with 12 or 24 Volts.

High power, permanent magnet variable speed DC gear motors that drive the left-right and up-down monitor motions are NEMA 4 rated for use in harsh environments. The monitor has a flow efficient 2¼” vaned waterway to minimize turbulence and provide superior nozzle streams. The water supply connection in the monitor base is a 2½” female national pipe thread, and the discharge nozzle connection has a 2½” national hose male thread.

An optional 2½” electric valve kit is available to allow the user to control water flow directly from the EXM input device. This enables

“pump and roll” functionality with complete control by the operator in the cab.

Sidewinder EXM Monitor

(P/N: 00007101)

Caution: All EXM monitor motors are 12VDC. If using a non-EXM nozzle, another 12VDC nozzle should be used, or nozzle control may not function properly.

NOZZLE

Nozzles –

There are four nozzles available for the

6000-200E & 6000-700E

CONTROL

Joystick Controller - 7030

The Joystick Controller must be used in conjunction with the 7070 OEM Interface Module (Joystick and OEM Interface Module can be ordered together as the 7035 package). The Joystick Controller can be mounted inside the apparatus cab to control all monitor functions, including oscillation. The monitor direction (both vertical and horizontal movement) is changed by moving the joystick in the desired direction of travel. The up-down and left-right motions can be operated simultaneously with pressure sensitive speed, moving the monitor faster or slower depending on how far the joystick is pushed and pulled. The water valve can be opened with a trigger switch located on the front of the joystick or can be locked into position through the use of the valve buttons on the joystick. Nozzle pattern can be changed using the thumb wheel on the top of the joystick. Oscillation is programmed by using the joystick in conjunction with the oscillate button.

Panel Mount Controller – 7010

The Panel Mount Controller is a sealed controller for operation of the monitor, nozzle, and water valve (optional). Separate push button switches are provided for up, down, left, right, fog and straight stream, valve open, valve close, valve preset, oscillation, and auxiliary functions. The Panel Mount may be powered with 12 or 24 Volts.

Handheld Controller with Docking Station– 7015

When paired with battery pack, docking station, and RF transceiver module, the Panel Mount Controller becomes a Handheld Controller. The Handheld Controller is a sealed remote control that contains all the controls necessary for operation of the monitor, nozzle, and water valve (optional). The handheld wireless remote allows the operator to control the monitor from a significantly improved point of view, allowing the operator to confirm that they are hitting the desired target. Separate push buttons are provided for up, down, left, right, fog and straight stream, valve open, valve close, valve preset, oscillation, and auxiliary functions. The handheld remote, through the use of frequency hopping techniques, allows multiple transmitters to operate on a common site without interference. The remote also has an automatic power down feature that will shut down the power after 5 minutes of no activity. As an additional power saving feature, the radio signal is only transmitted while buttons are pushed. The handheld remote case has a NEMA 4 rating. The Handheld may be powered with 12 or 24 Volts.

Caution: Any modification of the Joystick, Panel Mount, or Handheld Controller enclosures will destroy the NEMA 4 rating to that piece of equipment and will void the warranty coverage.

OEM Interface Module - 7070

The OEM Interface Module is used in conjunction with either the Elkhart Brass or customer supplied joystick, or OEM installed switches. The OEM Interface Module may be configured to handle switching power or ground. The Interface Module provides the option of mounting a joystick or switches in the apparatus cab to control all monitor functions, including oscillation. The OEM Interface Module may be powered with 12 or 24 Volts.

MONITOR ACCESSORY

Position Feedback Display - 7051

All EXM monitors come with Absolute Position Feedback sensors. These sensors provide constant feedback to the monitors’ processor even when the monitor is moved via manual override. This information is then transmitted to the Position Feedback Display.

EXM CAN Stow Module7095

The EXM CAN Stow Module provides electrical outputs to which an OEM can connect to in order to enable/disable truck operations based on whether an EXM monitor is stowed or not stowed. This could be used, for example, for a truck that has an aerial or other movable object that may hit the monitor if moved when the monitor is not stowed. These outputs could also be used to turn OEM-supplied indicator lights on or off depending on the monitor stow state.

External RF Antenna Module - 7062

The External RF Antenna Module can be utilized with an RF equipped 7070 OEM Interface Module. The 10ft. extension harness allows the antenna to be mounted in a position with a better line of sight to the monitor. Use of the external RF antenna module is required for aerial applications. The external antenna should also be used with the OEM interface module when RF interference is likely.

RF Transceiver Module - 7061

The RF Transceiver Module can be used with any input controller to enable RF communication within the EXM system.

Light Kit - 7080

The Light Kit provides illumination specifically for the areas targeted by EXM monitors. The Light Kit is mounted on top of the discharge elbow and follows the aim of the monitor. Installation instructions are included with the light kit.

Monitor Quick Connect - 7150

The Quick Connect Coupler is a custom designed accessory for quick, easy installation and removal of Elkhart Brass monitors. Once the 2.5”

Quick Connect Coupler is installed, no tools are required to operate. It only requires a 1/3 rotation to lock or unlock the monitor into place. A patented safety lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnects while waterway is pressurized.

CAN Connector Kit - 37221000

This kit provides the wired connectors needed to branch off the main CAN communication line, and allows you to connect another EXM component between the two EXM components at the ends of the main line. One kit is needed for each additional EXM component that is added to the main CAN line.

VALVE

Unibody Valve with E3F Electric Actuator -

The water valve kit provides a convenient remote on/off and preset valve positioning control of the water supply to the . This allows the operator complete control of the unit from the safety of the vehicle cab or handheld radio controller. The water valve motor speed prevents water hammer, yet closes quickly enough to help preserve the limited on-board water supply. The electric actuated Unibody Valve may be powered with 12 or 24 Volts.

Termination Points:

When using CAN lines for communication there must be 2 termination points within the system. Termination points are explained further in the Configuration section (installation step 2). What is important at this time is that in order to maximize the efficiency of communication in your CAN network, you must terminate the two components at the extreme ends of your main CAN line. This should be taken into consideration as you setup your EXM system. Each additional EXM component that requires connection to the main CAN communication line between the two end components will require the use of CAN Connector Kit (P/N 37221000). The maximum length of wire from the main CAN line is 3ft. and would be considered a branch (node) off the main CAN line.

CAN Connector Kit:

You may install any of the EXM CAN components that require the use of a CAN Connector Kit (P/N 37221000) by plugging the tri-pin CAN connector from the EXM component directly into the wye connector (Deutsch DT04-3P-P007) of the CAN Connector Kit. You can also use the crimp connectors on the mating connector leads to make your own connection.
