System Components -
In this section, the reader will be introduced to the various
The reader’s specific
A. EXM Monitor – 7161
The Sidewinder EXM 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. 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 Sidewinder EXM monitor has a flow efficient 21/4” vaned waterway to minimize turbulence and provide superior nozzle
streams. The water supply connection in the monitor base is a 2-1/2” female
national pipe thread, and the discharge nozzle connection has a 1-1/2”
national hose male thread.
EXM system may not include all components shown in this section.

EXM UHP– Installation Instructions
(Calibrate the EXM System)
Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM System
After successfully configuring the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM system’s
horizontal is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
To view a demonstration of system calibration and entering setup commands go to www.elkhartbrass.com to
download the appropriate EXM System Instructional Video.
A. Setup Mode
Before the EXM system can be calibrated, the system must be put into Setup Mode. To bring the system into
Setup Mode press and hold the FOG and STREAM buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. (On the joystick use
the PRESET and AUX buttons)
When the system has successfully been brought into Setup Mode, the blue status LED on the monitor and
the yellow status LED on the input controller (top right corner) will light. (There is no status LED on the
joystick, instead all valve button LEDs will flash once)
Once in Setup Mode a user can set travel limits, travel keep out zones, and stow position, as well as
change motor speeds, etc.
When in Setup Mode the RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN buttons function normally, but valve OPEN,
CLOSE, and PRESET do not control the valve. Instead, they are used for entering setup commands.
To leave Setup Mode simply press and release the FOG and STREAM buttons simultaneously one time.
Changes made will not take effect until after exiting Setup Mode. Setup Mode will automatically be
exited after five minutes of no user inputs.
Caution: There are no vertical or horizontal travel limits when in Setup Mode. Move the
monitor with caution while in this mode. If monitor is obstructed by an object or by itself, the
motors may over current and need to be moved manually out of the interfering object’s way.
B. Calibrating Horizontal and Vertical Rotation
Calibrating the EXM system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
The calibration points serve as a starting point for all other motion limits and commands entered to the EXM
system. If not properly calibrated, the system may not operate correctly.
Calibrating Horizontal Rotation - This calibration process will establish the zero (0˚) horizontal position
and allow rotation half to the left and half to the right of the total rotation range specified during system
configuration.
o Using RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN buttons, position the monitor such that it is aimed at the
center forward position (i.e. the 0˚ horizontal position).
14
EXM UHP– Installation Instructions
(Calibrate the EXM System)
o Press and hold PRESET and then press either the LEFT or RIGHT button. (On the joystick, hold
PRESET and move the stick to the right or left and release)
o The status LED on the monitor should blink then turn solid.
o Release the PRESET and either the LEFT or RIGHT button. The horizontal axis is now calibrated.
Calibrating Vertical Rotation - The Vertical zero (0˚) position is factory set, however you may still set a
new vertical zero point. This calibration will establish the highest vertical travel point of the monitor and
allow rotation in the downward direction the total range specified during system calibration. This differs
from the horizontal rotation calibration where the zero point is in the middle of the rotation range.
o Using RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN buttons, position the monitor such that it is aimed directly
vertical or at the uppermost limit of travel specified during system configuration.
o Press and hold PRESET and then press the UP button. (On the joystick, hold PRESET and move the
stick up and release)
o The status LED on the monitor should blink then turn solid.
o Release the PRESET and UP buttons. The vertical axis is now calibrated.
o Exit Setup Mode and check the monitor’s rotation limits. The monitor should not hit itself or other
objects. Recalibrate the EXM system if needed.
Caution: If the vertical zero point is set too far forward, the monitor may be allowed to
crash into itself at the lower points of vertical travel. Be careful not to move the monitor into
obstructions or itself as this will cause the monitor motors to over current. The monitor may
need to be moved in reverse, manually, if this occurs.
Installation Step 4: Check Installation
After mounting, wiring, configuring, and calibrating the
installation of the entire EXM system.
Ensure that all components have been mounted securely and have had the correct fuses installed within
their wiring leads.
Ensure that all components have been configured and that all components are functioning.
Ensure that the
Ensure that all components are performing normally.

EXM UHP– Operating Instructions
C. Re-calibrating Horizontal and Vertical Rotation
Calibrating the EXM system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.
The calibration points serve as a starting point for all other motion limits and commands entered to the EXM
system. If not properly calibrated, the system may not operate correctly.
The EXM system should be calibrated from when installation of the EXM system occurred, but if it is desired
that the monitor’s rotation be re-calibrated it is possible to do so. Please refer back to Step 3 in the Installation
Instructions section for directions of how to calibrate, or re-calibrate your EXM system.
D. Travel Limits
Travel limits are used when it is desired to restrict the motion of the monitor to a smaller, more specific range
than the one set as default during system configuration. Travel limits can be used to aid in avoiding objects that
may interfere with the motions of the monitor.
It is important to note that travel range can not be increased further than that range which was set as system
default during system configuration. If a larger travel range is desired, this must be changed by reconfiguring
the system with the EXM Configuration Tool.
Horizontal Travel Limits
o Put the EXM system into the Setup Mode (reference Part B of the Operating Instructions section)
o Move the monitor to the intended point of left-most (or right-most) travel
o The horizontal travel limit should be set within the total allowed factory set travel or total travel
specified during configuration of the system. If a travel limit is set outside the intended operating
area, operation of the monitor may be unpredictable.
o To set the left-most travel point, press and release the CLOSE button
(To set the right-most travel point press and release the OPEN button)
o When the EXM system is brought out of Setup Mode, horizontal travel limits will be set
Vertical Travel Limits
o Put the EXM system into the Setup Mode (reference Part B of the Operating Instructions section)
o Move the monitor to the intended point of highest (or lowest) travel
o The vertical travel limit should be set within the total allowed factory set travel or total travel
specified during configuration of the system. If a travel limit is set outside the intended operating
area, operation of the monitor may be unpredictable.
o To set the highest travel point, hold the STREAM button and press the UP button
(to set the lowest travel point hold the STREAM button and press the DOWN button)
o When the EXM system is brought out of Setup Mode, vertical travel limits will be set
17
EXM UHP– Operating Instructions
E. Keep-Out Zones
Keep-Out Zones are used when it is desired to restrict the motion of the monitor to a smaller more specific
range than that set during system calibration. Keep-Out Zones are different from travel limits in that they do
not restrict motion completely in any one direction. Keep-Out Zones can be set to allow the monitor to move
above a certain zone or beside the zone to either the left or right.
Lower-Right Keep-Out Zone - The Right Keep-Out Zone will prevent the monitor from moving down
and to the right into a specified zone (reference figure 1 on the following page)
o Put the EXM system into Setup Mode (reference Part B of the Operating Instructions section)
o Move the monitor to the upper left corner of the keep out zone
o The Keep-Out Zone should be set within the previously set monitor calibration points. If a Keep-
Out Zone is set outside the intended operating area, operation of the monitor may be unpredictable.
o Press the PRESET and OPEN buttons at the same time
o When the EXM system is taken out of Setup Mode, the monitor will be prevented from moving
below and to the right of this point

L. Update Firmware
Before updating firmware ensure that all components intended for the update are powered up and
connected to the chosen input controller through either the CAN string.
Remove the USB cover from any input controller.
o Although any input controller may be used for updating firmware, it is suggested that a controller
connected via the CAN string is used, if available.
Install the USB flash drive with the newest firmware version into the USB port of the desired input
controller, and the controller will automatically enter Programming Mode (If Update Mode does not
initiate, hold AUX and OSCILLATE for 2 seconds)
o The yellow status LED on controller will begin to blink at once per second
o If using Joystick, all valve LEDs will flash once to indicate that you are in Update Mode
Press and release the PRESET button
The input controller will read the hex file on the flash drive and install it as long as the copied firmware is
newer than the existing firmware.
o This process will likely take up to ten minutes to complete.
o This action will also update all input controllers on the CAN bus (primary and secondary)

EXM UHP– Operating Instructions
o Once all of the input controllers are updated and there were no errors while upgrading; then the
preset LED will blink once every three (3) seconds.
o If the primary input controller does not recognize it as newer firmware, then no update will take
place and the preset LED will flash twice every three (3) seconds.
o If the update did not perform correctly, the preset LED will blink three times every three (3)
seconds. If the update did not perform correctly please call Elkhart Brass at (800) 346-0250.
Remove the USB from the input controller to leave Programming Mode

Maintenance Instructions -
In this section, the reader will be instructed on how to properly care for their EXM system.
A. Preventive Maintenance
The complete monitor and control system should be inspected during each apparatus check. Careful inspection
for damage to the monitor, valve or nozzle is especially important after use of the EXM
Monitor in emergency operations.
Operate all possible functions to ensure that each works normally
Flow water to check the nozzle pattern
o If the pattern is disrupted, clear the debris
o If the obstruction still remains, remove the nozzle and check for debris lodged between the
nozzle stem and body
During nozzle flow test, inspect monitor swivel joints and water valve for leaks
Inspect all exposed wiring for signs of damage
Note: Although grease fittings are provided for the up-down and left-right gear cases, routine greasing should
not be necessary. If the monitor is exposed to high level of radiant heat for a prolonged period, it may be
possible for the factory grease to thin and run out of the gear cases. In such an event, fresh grease should be
applied. It is recommended that Mobilith AW2 grease be used to lubricate the monitor gearing.
Caution: Do not use high pressure spray to clean the EXM or any
EXM controllers. Using high pressure spray can damage seals and lead to
serious damage of electrical components.
B. Understanding System LEDs
Monitor Controller LEDs
o When the monitor is first powered up all LEDs turn on for approximately 1 second, then only the
Power LED remains illuminated
o When the monitor control box receives a right or left command, the horizontal LED illuminates.
o When the monitor control box receives an up or down command, the vertical LED illuminates.
o When the monitor control box receives a fog or stream command, the nozzle LED illuminates.
o At this time no function illuminates the auxiliary LED on the monitor control box.
o When in Setup Mode, the blue status LED on the monitor control box will illuminate

Interpreting Flow Data
The following graphs offer the pressure losses for the monitor (and other devices) in terms of Total Static
Pressure Drop. This Total Static Pressure Drop can be found by measuring the difference between the static
inlet pressure and the static outlet pressure. The static pressure at either of these points can be found using a
simple pressure gauge. An illustration of this method can be seen below.
In mathematical terms, the Total Static Pressure Drop is the change in Velocity Pressure plus Friction Loss.
The change in Velocity Pressure results from the change in velocity of water caused by the change in the cross
section of a waterway. Friction Loss results from the drag and sidewall interference of the water through a
device. A simple equation can be seen below.
∆PS = HF + ∆P
∆PS = Total Static Pressure Drop
= Friction Loss
H
F
P
= Velocity Pressure Loss
V
In the firefighting industry, the terms Total Static Pressure Drop and Friction Loss tend to be used
interchangeably. However, these are significantly different measurements. This misconception could
ultimately lead to lower than anticipated performance from equipment. When designing a system and
determining performance, Total Static Pressure Drop is the value that should always be used. The
Friction Loss curve is also supplied in order to make a comparison with competitor products that may only
supply Friction Loss curves. If there are any further questions regarding this matter, please contact Elkhart
Brass.
