1.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

A safety related message is identified by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.4-1998, the definitions of the three signal words are as follows:

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

2.0 SAFETY

The operation of this monitor can be dangerous. The following must beobserved at all times.

Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of

WARNING

CAUTION

supporting 1500 lbs (700 kg) of nozzle reaction force.

The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage. Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safedirection before water to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.

The electric Hurricane RC may be remotely operated. The electric drives are current limited but may still produce enough force to cause injury. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points on the monitor.

Do not use the manual override handwheels while the electric controls are in operation. The electric drives produce enough torque to cause injury.

Maximum pressure is 200 psi (14 bar). Damage or injury may result if the monitor is operated

CAUTION

On many vehicle installations the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Often it is critical that the monitor be properly stowed before driving to avoid damage to overhead obstructions such as door openings. In these cases the use of a switch wired into the apparatus "door open" circuit is highly recommended. The switch should be wired to give a "door open" signal if the monitor is not in the stowed position. Due to the variety of possible mountings and nozzles, it is the installer's responsibility to supply the appropriate switch with mounting and wire it into the system.Always check stowed position of the monitor before moving the apparatus.

beyond these limits.

3.5 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS

The electric Hurricane RC monitor is controlled by a very powerful, state-of-the-art electronics system. The key components of the system are the motor control boards and a communication board. Each motor control board has its own microprocessor and a sophisticated motor control chip. The communication board also has a microprocessor, which handles the interface to the operator stations. All the components on these boards are solid state; there are no relays or electro-mechanical devices to wear out over time. The hardware and software have been designed withseveral key features:

3.5.1 MOTOR CONTROL BOARD (MCB) AUTO CONFIGURE

Each monitor has three MCBs, one for each motor, which controls motor movement and direction for horizontal rotation, elevation, and nozzle pattern. In the unlikely event of a MCB failure, the failed board can be removed and one of the other two remaining MCBs can be moved into that position. This MCB will then auto configure itself to take over the control of that axis, so that the monitor can continue to be used, with two of the three motors. This is also ahelpful benefit when troubleshooting and requires fewer spare parts to bestocked.

3.5.2 MOTOR CURRENT LIMITING

The microprocessor on theMCB continuously monitors the motor current.As the motor reachesan endstop orif there is an obstruction, the motor current rises very quickly and the motor controlchip automatically shuts down the motor in a fewmilliseconds. This eliminates the need for any type of external limitswitches and the associatedwiring. The microprocessor also locks the operatorfrom moving in the stopped direction again, until the operator first moves in the opposite direction.

3.5.3 MOTOR SOFT STOPS

The horizontal and vertical motors are equipped with feedback encoders, which allow the microprocessor to know the motor position at all times. The first time a motor reaches an end stop or strikes an obstruction, the microprocessor sets a new soft stop position just before the end stop. From that point on, when the axis approaches the stop, the MCB automatically slows down the motor until the end stop is reached. This significantly reduces thewear on the motor, gearbox, andexternal gears.

3.5.4 MOTOR SLOW/FAST SPEED

When an operator presses one of the buttons, the associated motor starts in slow speed mode so that the operator can accurately control the water stream. After approximately 1-2 seconds the motor automatically ramps up to a fast speed, for quickly moving into position. When quickly changing directions, monitor retains speed from prior move. If low speed is selected, monitor does not ramp to high speed but remains in slow speed.

3.5.5 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

The communication from the monitor to the operator stations is performed over two wires using RS-485 serial protocol. Multiple operator stations can be added withonly two wires for power and two wires for the RS-485 protocol between each station.

3.5.6 OSCILLATE AND STOW FEATURES

The OSCILLATE feature allows the user to program up to 65 points of continuous movement of the horizontal and vertical axes. The OSCILLATEpattern can be programmed from any operator station that has the OSCbutton.

The STOW feature allows the user to move the monitor, with one touch of a button, to a safe position before moving the fire truck. The monitor will always move to two end stops to verify the correct position. During the programming procedure, the user has the ability to select which axis moves first. This is helpful to avoid lights, hoses, obstructions, etc. The user can program up to 10 points of movement to reach the final STOW position. TheSTOW pattern can be programmed from any operator station that has the STOW button.

See section 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 for programming instructions.

4.0 INSTALLATION

4.1 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITOR MOUNTING

The structure that the Hurricane RC Monitor is mounted to must withstand the internal pressure of the monitor as well as shear and bending forces due to nozzle reaction. Nozzle reaction can be as high as 1,050 lbs (480 kg) (1250 gpm at 200 psi).

For flanged connections, the use of flat flanges without raised faces is recommended. Use a full-face gasket as defined in SME 16.21 or ISO 7483. Tighten flange bolts in an alternating sequence as shown in figure 4.1. Tighten to 76-80 ft-lb (100-110Newton-Meters).

3 4

FIG 4.1 - Flange Bolt Tightening Sequence

Tighten sequentially each bolt three times.

WARNING

Injury can result from an inadequately supported monitor. The monitor mount must be capable of supporting the nozzle reaction force which can be as high as 1500 lbs (700 kg). Flanges and pipe made from plastic are inadequate for monitor mounting and must not be used. This monitor is not recommended for portable use.

Page 8

4.2 INLET FITTINGS OR EXTEND-A-GUN RC INSTALLATION

The Hurricane RC Monitor is available with various inlet fittings as shown in figure 3.3. The Hurricane RC Monitor also connects directly to TFT's Extend-A-Gun RC3 or RC4.The fittings andExtend-A-Gun RCare attached to the monitorby meansof athreaded jointwith an o-ring seal. Once in the proper orientation, the threaded joint is locked from rotation by two ¼-28 button head cap screws as shown in figure 4.2A. This makes for easy removal of the monitor, since the large threads of the joint are not tightened and do not have any thread locking compounds on them. It is best to install the inlet fitting or Extend-A-Gun RC to the apparatus and than install the monitor to the inlet fitting or Extend-A-Gun RC. This gives more room to install the bolts in the case of flanged fittings. Referring to figures 4.2A and

4.2B, the installation sequence is as follows:

1) Install inlet adapter or Extend-A-Gun RC to apparatus.

• Mount so that 180 degree apart threaded cross holes will give desired direction relative to the “Straight Back Reference Mark”

when the monitor is installed.

2) Screw monitoronto inlet adapter or Extend-A-Gun RC until threaded joint bottoms out.

• Do not use pipe dope or Loctite on the inlet base threads. These threads are sealed with an o-ring. The use of thread locking

compounds will make removal difficult.

3) Unscrew monitor slightly until a pair of 90 degrees apart slots line up with the 180 degrees apart threaded cross holes in the inlet adapter or Extend-A-Gun RC.

• Orient monitorso that the Straight Back ReferenceMark is facing the desired direction.

• Slots will line up with threaded cross holes every 90 degrees of rotation.

• Monitor maybe unscrewed up to one full turn from the bottomed out position.

4) Install ¼-28 by ½ long button head cap screws and washers in the two threaded crossholes.

NOTE: Hurricane RC monitor, for use with Extend-A-Gun RC, comes with the wire installed in a nylon tube. The nylon tubing gives the wire additional stiffness so it better follows as the Extend-A-Gun RC extends or retracts. A fitting is also supplied and is to be used where the nylon tubing and wire pass though the deck.

Page 10

4.3 NOZZLE CONNECTION

The Hurricane RCmonitor outlet thread types are as shown in figure 3.3.The nozzle is simply screwed onto the Hurricane RC monitor's exit threads. Insure that the nozzle's coupling does not make contact with the elevation drive housing when the monitor is in its highest elevation position.

For nozzles with electric pattern control, a waterproof connector wire is provided at the bottom outlet of the Hurricane RC's control station box. This wire attaches directly to TFT's electric Masterstream 1250 nozzle. The electric actuator box of nozzle must be oriented to the top side of nozzle for the connection wire to extend 90° above horizontal and 45° below elevation movement. (see figure 4.3 and refer to Sections 5.12 and 6.6.2 for properly attaching female to male connectors). Any other nozzle should have the corresponding male electrical connector installed and long enough wire to extend of the nozzle.

AND MUST REMAIN ON TO MAINTAIN THE WATER TIGHTNESS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

DO NOT CUT OFF THE FEMALE CONNECTOR ON THE MONITOR. THIS CONNECTOR IS MOLDED ONTO THE WIRE

90° above horizontal and 45° below elevation movement

CAUTION: TFT's Master Stream 1250 ER Nozzle Electric Actuator Box must be on the Top Side for its Edge to line up with Monitor Waterway Top Body as shown.

FIG 4.3

Correct ER Nozzle Install Orientation

The nozzle threads must match the threads on the Hurricane RC in both size and type.

CAUTION

Mismatched or damaged threads may cause the nozzle to leak or uncouple under pressure and could cause injury.

Do not connect aluminum to brass or brass to aluminum. Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that will freeze the threaded joint or cause complete loss of thread engagement. If dissimilar metals must be coupled together, the effects of corrosion can be greatly delayed by various coatings on the metal such aspowder paint, hard anodizing or silicone grease.

4.4 HORIZONTAL ROTATION TRAVEL STOPS

The range of Horizontal (left-right) travel for the Hurricane RC monitor is limited to 450 degrees or 225 degrees from either side of a nozzle discharge position. Horizontal (left-right) travel stop bolts may be installed in the monitorto limit travel asshown in figure 4.4Aand

4.4B. Note that left and right are relative to the “Straight Back Reference Mark” shown in figure 4.4A, and refer to the operator's position behind the monitor, opposite the nozzle's discharge direction. Also, Figure 4.4A shows the range of travel for the various stop bolt locations along with installation notes as shown inFigure 4.4B.

4.5 PRESSURE GAUGE PORT

There is a ¼” NPT female threaded hole located behind the elevation hand wheel for the installation of a pressure gauge if desired. This hole has a pipe pluginstalled from the factory. Unscrewthe pipe plugand install the gauge using pipesealant. Make sure that thegauge does not interfere with the handwheel.

4.6 AUTOMATIC DRAIN

There is an automatic drain on the Hurricane RC installed from factory, that will empty the water from the low point of the lower bend to prevent freezing (Figure 3.2). This valve will close automatically when the internal pressure in the monitor reaches approximately 5 psi (0.34 bar) and will reopen again when the pressure drops to this point. Refer to Section 6.4 for disabling the automatic drain if desired.

Asecondary drain valve should be installed on the monitor's inlet piping to drain water in the riser.

Page 12

5.0 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS INSTALLATION

The electric RC monitor is supplied with a monitor mounted operator station. The wiring on the monitor and for this operator station is factory installed. The assembly is supplied with a 30-foot length of cable for connection to the operator control stations as shown in Figure 5.0 or directly to a protected voltage supply. This cable has 4-conductors which supply power and the communications from the operator stations to the monitor. To complete the installation, the installer will need to mount and wire the selected operator stations.The power supply for the monitor will need to be connected to a protected circuit from the truck's power distribution center. Refer to the specifications section 3.2.1 for nominal current draw.

Good mechanical connections on the wires are absolutely necessary and should be checked periodically. Poor electrical connections can cause power loss to the electric RC monitor and be a fire hazard.

Careful selection of wiring is critical to avoid excessive voltage drop.

Be careful to route cables in a protected area away from high heat sources.

Use grommets whenever wires pass through holes to prevent damage due to snags, abrasions, etc.

Secure cables close to control box with plastic wire ties or cable clamps to relieve stress on the cables.

Disconnect power before installing or servicing the electrical components. The RC monitor control boxes and motors are not rated as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe.

The electric motors and other components are ignition sources. The electric drives should be

6.0 OPERATION

6.1 OVERRIDE HANDWHEELS

In the event of electrical system failure of the monitor or firetruck, Hurricane RC is factory supplied with handwheels so the monitor may be manually operated. The factory-supplied handwheels are 6 inches in diameter. To make the Hurricane RC more compact, the handwheels may be removed.

6.2.1 OPERATOR STATIONS

The electric Hurricane RC monitor has seven different styles of operator stations for use in various locations on the fire truck or fire ground.

The design of the operator station communications allows users to override commands on other stations. The "last" button pressed has control. The overridden user can regain control by releasing his/her button and pressing again. The wireless and joystick operator stations cannot override commands fromthe primary operator station they are wired into, but can override other stations.

Platform and ladder electronics enclosures are pre-configured for one set of inputs to have a master override feature. The operator station connected to these inputs, typically at the base of the ladder,will override any other operator station.

Any operator station with a communication board or connected to a communication board can be field configured with the master override feature. This allows the user to setup an operator station on the fire truck or fire ground as the master override station. See Section 6.2.2 for details.

6.2.1.1 MONITOR MOUNTED OPERATOR STATION

This operator station is factory installed on the monitor and is used by personnel right at the monitor.

6.2.1.2 PRIMARY OPERATOR STATION

This operator station is installed on the truck, for example the pump operator's panel. It is used to operate the monitor from a location on the truck.

6.2.1.3 OPTIONAL OPERATOR STATION

This operator station allows the monitor tobe operated from an additional location on the truck.

6.2.1.4 TETHER OPERATOR STATION

This operator station is tethered to the truck with either a 30 foot (9 meter) cable or a 100 foot (30.5 meter) cable. It is used to move slightly away from the truck to get a better view for redirecting the monitor.

6.2.1.5 WIRELESS OPERATOR STATION

This operator station uses RF signals to control the monitor. It is used to move far away from the truck to get a better view for redirecting the monitor. Maximum range is 500 ft (152 meters). The wireless transmitter is coded to a particular monitor so several wireless monitors may be in use at the same location without interference. It uses rechargeable batteries that will give 160 hours of continuous operation when fully charged. When not in use the wireless transmitter should be kept in its charging base. The transmitter will turn on a red LED to warn the operator when the battery charge is low.After thispoint there are less than 8 hours of continuous use available.

To activatethe transmitter, press the green buttonat the top. While the transmitter is active, the yellow LED will blink continuously.

Pressing the red button at the bottom will deactivate the transmitter. The transmitter will automatically deactivate after 10 minutes if no buttons are pressed.

6.2.1.6 JOYSTICK OPERATOR STATION

This operator station is installedin a protected location and allows the monitor to be controlled bya joystick.

6.2.1.7 TOGGLE SWITCH OPERATOR STATION

This operator station allows the monitor tobe operated by three toggle switches.

Page 23

6.2.2 MASTER OVERRIDE FEATURE (DIP #1)

Any operator station with a communication board can be reconfigured with the master override feature. These stations include the Y4E-RP, Y4E-RO, Y4E-CT-30, Y4E-CT-100, Y4E-TS, or any inputs connected to an Y4E-COMM. To enable the master override feature on an operator station, follow these steps:

ON CTS

1. Remove lid from enclosure.

2. Locate DIP switches on communication board.

3. Slide DIP switch #1 to theON position.

4. Replace lid. Verify rubber seal is clean and undamaged. Verifythat no wires are caught between lid and box.

Figure 6.2.2

6.2.3 STOW FEATURE

Master Override Setup

The STOW position needs to be programmed during installation. The monitor needs to “find” two (2) hard stops, one for each axis, before the monitor can move to the STOW position. When programming, the first two commands teach the monitor where to find the hard stops. This guarantees that the position is accurate. From that point, the programmer can program the move to the final STOW position.

During normal operation, each time the STOW button is pressed, the monitor moves the nozzle to the full straight stream position, moves to each programmed hard stop, and then moves to the STOW position. While the monitor is performing the STOW feature, pressing any button will stop the monitor.

6.3 RECOMMENDED MONITOR STOWING POSITION

For truck mounted applications, it is recommended that the monitor be stowedin a position such that the monitor'snozzle rests against a bracket or support surface. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the apparatus is traveling.

properly stowed before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid damage from overhead obstructions such as doors or bridges.

On many vehicle installations, the monitor is the highest point on the apparatus. Often it is critical that the monitor be properly stowed before driving to avoid damage to overhead obstructions, such as door openings. In these cases, the use of a switch wired into the apparatus's "door open" circuit is highly recommended.The switch would be wired to give a "door open" signal if the monitor is not in the stowed position. Due to the variety of possible mountings and nozzles, it is the installer’s responsibility to supply the appropriate switch with mounting and wire it into their system.Always check stowed position of monitor before moving apparatus.

Always be sure the monitor is

6.4 AUTOMATIC DRAIN

Doing the following may disable the automatic drain:

Refer to the exploded view in Section 9.0.

1) Unscrewthe drain assembly from the monitor and remove the screw (#33) and washer (#28).

2) Turn over the rubber drain valve (#32) so that the raised edge is facing down, against the face of the housing (#31).

3) Reinstallthe washer and screw. Reinstall the drain assembly.

6.5 FLOWS AND PRESSURES

The Hurricane RC is designed for a maximum pressure of 200 psi (14 bar). Do not exceed these limits.

The stream exiting a monitor is very powerful and capable of causing injury and property damage.

CAUTION

Because the stream trajectory can obscure the view of the operator, it is recommended that a spotter be used to accurately direct the stream.

Make sure the monitor is securely attached to the base and pointing in a safe direction beforewater to the monitor is turned on. Use care in directing the stream.

6.6 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS

6.6.1 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH STACKED TIP NOZZLES

Stream quality and reach, especiallywith stacked tip(smooth bore)nozzles, isgenerally improved witha streamstraightener because the water must make many bends before it reachesthe nozzle.

6.6.2 STREAM STRAIGHTENERS WITH FOG NOZZLES

When using a fog nozzle, it is recommended that no stream straightener be used sincethe fog nozzle's flow path generally serves as a stream straightener. Use of a stream straightener with a fog nozzle will increase the stress on the monitor's gear train and may lead to premature wear.

8.0 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

The Hurricane RC monitor requires little maintenance. The monitor should be kept clean and free of dirt. All controls should be checked for freedom of movement and proper operation before each use. Any inoperable or damaged parts should be repaired or replacedimmediately.

• Make sure that the monitor's handwheels rotate freelyand without binding throughout its range of travel.

• Make sure that there are no leaks whenthe monitor is flowing water.

• Make sure the nozzle is free of debris.

Consult factory for recommended service procedure.

8.1 LUBRICATION

8.1.1 ELEVATION CONTROL WORM GEAR

Turn the hand wheel to raise the nozzle to its highest position and pump medium viscosity automotive chassis grease into the grease fitting on the Elevation worm gear housing until excessappears at the joint. See Fig. 3.2 for grease zerk location.

8.1.2 HORIZONTAL ROTATION WORM GEAR

The Hurricane RC monitor generally should not require greasing in the Horizontal (left-right) worm gear.In the event that the operation becomes stiff, grease may be applied to the horizontal worm gear grease port shown in Fig. 3.2. Use medium viscosity automotive chassis grease. Apply only enough grease to restore normal operation. If greasing does not restore normal operation, inspect for other causes of stiff operation.

Note: Do not over pump grease to Horizontal worm gear. The monitor's Horizontal worm gear greased areas lead to the wire skirt/cable guide that would trap several pounds of grease before becoming visible.

8.2 PERFORMANCE TESTING

Performance tests should be conductedon theHurricane RC monitor after repairs aremade, or any time a problem isreported to verify operation in accordance with Task Force Tips test procedures. Consult the factory for the test procedure that corresponds to the model and serial number of your monitor. Any equipment that fails the test criteria should be removed from service immediately. Equipment can be returned to the factory for serviceand testing.
