IV. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. Component Mounting
1. Monitor Installation
1.1. Attach 4" 150 lbs. Flat Face class ANSI pattern companion flange to water supply pipe
so that bolt pattern will allow monitor to be installed with the "straight ahead" position
properly aligned. Alignment is correct when the "straight ahead" direction is centered
between adjacent flange bolt holes.
1.2. Install Monitor Assembly on water supply flange to match up to 4”-150 lbs. Flat Face
ANSI flange on inlet of Monitor with flange gasket between flanges. Install motor
cable junction box and secure inlet flange with eight 5/8-11 UNC Grade 5 hex. head
bolts. Torque bolts to 60-70 ft.-lbs.
1.3. Standpipe must be structurally strong enough to withstand reaction forces of the nozzle
when discharging a straight stream at 90º of the standpipe tower. The formula for
calculating nozzle reaction is: REACTION FORCE = 0.0505 x G.P.M. x √ P.S.I.
1.4. The inlet pressure at base of monitor must be high enough to allow for pressure loss
through monitor. To accomplish this use the pressure loss for G.P.M. flowing and add to
nozzle pressure. See monitor hydraulic data in section IX.
1.5. Install junction box bracket on top of monitor flange, aligning two holes in bracket with
flange mounting holes on rear of monitor. Secure bracket to monitor with two of the flange
bolts.
IMPORTANT: When installing monitor on a raised face flange or a wafer type butterfly
valve, it is critical that bolts be tightened uniformly to prevent cocking of the monitor relative to the
flange or valve. If the monitor becomes cocked, (see Fig. I) the monitor cast flanged base will fracture
and fail when the bolts on the “high” side are tightened.
Fig. I
2. Nozzle Installation
6
2.1. Install Nozzle on outlet of monitor Stream Shaper (Model #284-B). Position nozzle so that
motor is located on top of nozzle or to the left side as seen from monitor end. Tighten the
Stream Shaper to Monitor with spanner wrench. Then tighten nozzle swivel base to
Stream Shaper.
2.2. Install cable plug to receptacle on nozzle motor, aligning locator key in plug with key in
receptacle. Screw swivel down tight on male thread of receptacle.
3. Motor Control Box (MMCB) Installation
3.1. This enclosure should be located 100 feet maximum distance to the Monitor Junction Box.
3.2. The enclosure to be installed a minimum of three feet above grade and in the vertical
position, on a rigid structure. Installation is normally at the base of the riser.
4. Control Box Installation
4.1. If used for a local control the single monitor control box is to be mounted on a rigid stand,
approximately 3 to 4 feet above grade so operator can visually see monitor and nozzle
when operating controls. The 1-Monitor Control Box weighs approximately 32 lbs.
4.2. This enclosure has four mounting pads with 0.31inch diameter holes. Mounting hole
centers are 10 inches horizontal x 12 ¾ inches vertical.
B. Interconnecting & Wiring Control System
1. Motor Control Box (MMCB) to Monitor Junction Box
1.1. Install conduit between Motor Control Box and Junction Box, located at flanged base of
monitor. Junction boxes are provided with 1½” NPT Conduit Hubs.
1.2. If water valve is not installed at base of monitor, ten conductors are required.
1.3. Reference guide for wire size:
18 – AWG wire for up to 40 feet from monitor.
16 – AWG wire for up to 80 feet from monitor.
14 – AWG wire for up to 100 feet from monitor.
1.4. If water valve is provided at base of monitor, fourteen conductors are typically required.
Wire size to be determined by length of conductors and current draw of valve operator
supplied.
enclosure, an explosion proof seal fitting must be provided at valve operator conduit connection when
used in a hazardous location. This will seal the flame path between water valve and junction box.
This must be done to maintain certification of Motor Control Box.
WARNING!!! If water valve operator is provided and has arching devices in its
2. Control Box to Motor Control Box
2.1. Install conduit between Motor Control Box (MMCB) and 1-Monitor Control Box.
2.2. A minimum of 10 conductors is required per monitor
2.3. Wire size recommended for distance as follows:
18 – AWG wire for cable run up to 750 feet (0.47 voltage drop at 750 feet)
16 – AWG wire for cable run up to 1500 feet (0.48 voltage drop at 1500 feet)
14 – AWG wire for cable run up to 2500 feet (0.50 voltage drop at 2500 feet)
12 – AWG wire for cable run up to 3500 feet (0.43 voltage drop at 3500 feet)
.

3. Main Power to Motor Control Box
3.1. Install conduit from main power distribution breaker box to Motor Control Box.
3.2. Pull three conductor cables for 1 phase supply, wire sized to supply a minimum of 6-amps
at 120-VAC.
V. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (TYPICAL HARDWIRED ILLUSTRATION)
One Monitor Control:
This control box has one set of switches and pilot lights to operate one monitor and nozzle.
1. Monitor functions (UP & DOWN / LEFT & RIGHT) are operated with spring return
switches. This is accomplished by using the proper selector/pushbutton switches to move
the monitor the direction desired. When switch is released, switch will return to original
(off) position and monitor movement will stop.
2. Nozzle function (STRAIGHT / FOG) is operated with a spring return switch. This is
accomplished by using the proper selector/pushbutton switch for the STRAIGHT or FOG
position. When switch is released, lever will return to original (off) position and nozzle tip
movement will stop.
3. Water Valve Switches are momentary close, normally open contact pushbutton switches
that will latch and break latch relay in Motor Control Box to open or close water valve.
4. Pilot Light (BLUE) to indicate that water valve is open.
5. Pilot Light (RED) to indicate that local control power is on. When this light is ON, controls
can be operated from this Local Control Box.
6. Control Power Switch is a 2-position (ON/OFF) selector switch that turns control power
“ON” or “OFF” to monitor control panel.
Monitor and Nozzle Manual Override:
1. Vertical Manual Override – Push hand wheel in to engage override. While holding hand
wheel in, turn clockwise to raise nozzle and counter-clockwise to lower nozzle.
2. Horizontal Manual Override – Push hand wheel in to engage override. While holding hand
wheel in, turn clockwise to move monitor right and counter-clockwise to move monitor
left.
3. Nozzle Manual Override – Push knob in and hold to engage override. Turn knob clockwise
to move nozzle tip in direction of fog and counter-clockwise to move nozzle tip in direction
of straight stream.
When Monitor operation is completed, move monitor and nozzle to designated park position and
shutoff control power switches on control panels.

VI. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Monthly inspection and maintenance:
1. Check all Indicator lights and replace bulbs if not operable.
2. Cycle all monitor functions (left, right, up, down, straight, and fog) to insure that complete
system is fully functional.
ATTENTION: When cycling the monitor through the motions (up, down, left and right),
be sure to exercise the system a minimum of 2 (two) complete cycles. This will help move the grease
inside the monitor for better coverage and long time use/durability.
Six-month inspection and maintenance:
1. Grease monitor ball races through grease fittings located at each swivel joint.
Recommended grease for Industrial SPITFIRE Monitors is MOBILITH SHC – 100, High
Performance Synthetic Grease. Temperature range: -40º F (-26º C) to 400º F (250º C) or
equal. Greasing procedures are as follows:
a. In the lower grease fitting apply approximately 5-7 pumps of grease.
b. In the upper grease fitting apply approximately 2-3 pumps of grease.
2. Check motor control cables for wear and connectors for damage.
3. Check motor cables for binding through full movement of monitor and nozzle.
4. Check all painted surfaces for chips or scratches and repaint as required.
5. Visually check all electrical equipment in control boxes.
WARNING: Do not attempt to disconnect or work on any electrical equipment
in this system unless power is removed or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
