PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION

Important: Before installing and operating provided equipment, read this manual

thoroughly. Proper installation is essential to safe operation.

 All personnel who may be expected to use this equipment must be thoroughly trained in its safe and

proper use.

 Before flowing water from this device, check that all personnel (fire service and civilian) are out of

the stream path. Also, check to make sure stream direction will not cause avoidable property damage.

 Become thoroughly familiar with the hydraulic characteristics of this equipment, and the pumping

system used to supply it. To produce effective fire streams, operating personnel must be properly trained.

 Whenever possible, this equipment should be operated from a remote location. Do not needlessly

expose personnel to dangerous fire conditions.

 Open water valves supplying this equipment slowly so that piping fills slowly, thus preventing

possible water hammer occurrence.

 After each use, and on a scheduled basis, inspect equipment per instructions in the Maintenance

section.

 Any modifications to the electrical enclosures will destroy the NEMA 4 rating and void warranty

coverage of the enclosure and all components within.

(P/N: 08593041)

Copperhead RF Monitor – 8593-04 The 8593-04 Copperhead RF is a brass monitor that contains a central

vane inside the waterway to minimize large-scale turbulence and provide superior fire streams. The water supply is provided through the monitor base by a 3” 150# flat faced flange. The discharge nozzle

connection is a 2½“ National Hose Thread. Nozzle stream direction is

controlled by two permanent magnet type gear motors, one controlling rotation about the axis of the water inlet, and the other controlling nozzle elevation and depression.

Max Flow: 1250 GPM (4732 LPM) Weight: 74 Lbs

Copperhead RF Nozzles – There are two nozzles recommended for the Copperhead RF.

SM-1250BE The maximum monitor flow capacity is 1250 gallons per minute. Monitors can be supplied with the SM-1250BE constant pressure (automatic) type master stream nozzle. This nozzle has a flow range of 300 to 1250 gallons per minute at 75 psi and has an electric drive mechanism for RF control of the spray pattern from a straight stream to wide fog.

SM-1250BE; 300 GPM @ 50 PSI – 1250 GPM @ 75 PSI

181 Deluge & 282-B Stream Shaper Pairing the 282-B stream shaper with the 181 brass smooth bore ensures great stream quality with the flow of a smooth bore nozzle.

CONTROL

Caution: Any modification of the Handheld Controller or Panel Mount enclosures will

destroy the NEMA 4 rating to that piece of equipment and will void the warranty coverage.

Handheld RF Controller – 81282001

A sealed handheld RF transmitter contains all the controls necessary for operation of the monitor. The handheld remote allows the operator to direct the monitor from a significantly improved point of view. With the wireless remote, the operator can view the stream from the side and confirm that the stream is hitting its target. Separate push button switches are provided for up, down, left, right, fog, and stream functions. The handheld remote has user selectable frequency and security codes that allow multiple monitors to operate on the same fire ground at the same time. The remote 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 a button is pushed. The handheld remote case has a NEMA 4 rating.

Primary Panel Mount RF Controller – 81327101 The fixed RF transmitter sends signals to the monitor via an encoded

radio signal, requiring no wires between the RF transmitter and the monitor. It is powered by the vehicle electrical system. The faceplate is intended for a flush mount onto the pump panel. Separate sealed push button switches are provided for up, down, left, right, fog, and stream functions. This fixed RF transmitter provides two-button access to the Stow feature. It will override any low-priority controls, allowing the apparatus operator to retain ultimate control over the monitor. Comes with 10 foot coax antenna cable and (1) 90° antenna and (1) straight antenna.

Secondary Panel Mount RF Controller – 81327201 The fixed RF transmitter sends signals to the monitor via an encoded

MONITOR ACCESSORY

Caution: Any modification of the enclosures of any of the transmitters or switch box

will destroy the NEMA 4 rating, and will void the warranty coverage. Ensure all O-ring and gaskets are properly installed when closing receiver or controller enclosures.

Primary OEM RF Transmitter – 81353101 The OEM RF transmitter allows the monitor installer to use their

switching arrangement while still having the benefit of the W.E.T. It has all of the same features of the Primary Panel Mount RF controller, but has a wiring harness for the installer to connect to the switches. Comes with 10 foot coax antenna cable and (1) 90° antenna and (1) straight antenna.

Secondary OEM RF Transmitter – 81353201 The OEM RF transmitter allows the monitor installer to use their

switching arrangement while still having the benefit of the W.E.T. It has all of the same features of the Secondary Panel Mount RF controller, but has a wiring harness for the installer to connect to the switches. Comes with 10 foot coax antenna cable and (1) 90° antenna and (1) straight antenna.

Secondary Switch Box Control – 81549001 This component is a surface mount type switch box with controls for

operation of the monitor for use with the OEM secondary RF transmitter. Separate sealed toggle switches are furnished for up-down, left-right, and strt-fog functions. The box has a NEMA 4 rating. A terminal strip inside the enclosure allows for connection of the control cable, and a watertight strain relief fitting provides for sealing around the cable entry

Auxilary Battery Pack – 81492001 A 12-volt, 12 amp-hr. sealed lead-acid battery pack is available to

allow operation of the monitor in case of vehicle electrical system failure. These battery packs are also used as a means to minimize the required size of conductors routed. This is accomplished by mounting the battery pack near the monitor, with a small trickle-charge conductor to the battery from the vehicle system.
