Installation Instructions
1. Foam Proportioning Flexibility
Q: The foam proportion can be 3% or 6% (optional). How is this adjusted, and what factors determine the right proportion for a fire?
A: Adjust the foam proportion via a dedicated control (e.g., a valve or selector) on the monitor. For Class A fires (ordinary combustibles), 3% might suffice; for Class B (flammable liquids), 6% could be better for effective suppression. The choice depends on fire type, fuel load, and local fire - fighting protocols.
2. Tiller Control Operation
Q: What's the learning curve for mastering the tiller control, and how does it enhance manual operation?
A: The tiller control uses lever - based movements, which are intuitive-most operators adapt quickly (e.g., 1-2 hours of training). It allows precise, responsive adjustments of the jet direction and pattern, making it easier to target fires accurately in dynamic scenarios.
3. Dual - Use (Water and Foam) Compatibility
Q: When switching between water and foam, do you need to flush the system, and how to ensure no cross - contamination?
A: Yes, flush the system with clean water after using foam to prevent residue buildup. Use dedicated lines or valves for water and foam, and label connections clearly. This avoids cross - contamination, ensuring both media work effectively when needed.
4. Flow Rate Customization
Q: The flow rate has optional sizes (24/32/40/48 LPS). How to select the right flow rate for a facility's fire - protection needs?
A: Assess the facility's fire risk (e.g., storage of flammables, area size). Larger, high - risk areas need higher flow rates (e.g., 48 LPS). Consult fire - protection engineers to match flow rate, pressure, and coverage requirements for optimal safety.
5. Flange Standard Adaptability
Q: With flange standards like BS4504, ANSI150, etc., how to adapt the monitor to a facility's existing non - standard piping?
A: Use custom - made flange adapters or request the manufacturer to provide the monitor with the required flange standard. Ensure the adapter meets pressure ratings and sealing requirements to avoid leaks during operation.
6. Foam Expansion Performance
Q: The foam expansion is "≥6 times"-how does this affect fire suppression, and can it be adjusted?
A: A 6 - fold expansion creates a thicker, more persistent foam blanket, which is ideal for smothering flammable liquid fires. Expansion is determined by the foam concentrate and mixing system; it's not adjustable on the monitor itself. Choose the right concentrate to meet expansion needs.
7. Working Pressure Consistency
Q: All models have a 10 - bar working pressure. What happens if the system pressure fluctuates below or above this?
A: Below 10 bar, the flow rate and jet range decrease, reducing effectiveness. Above 10 bar, excess pressure may damage seals or the monitor body. Install pressure regulators to maintain 10 bar, ensuring consistent performance and safety.
8. Corrosion Resistance of Aluminium Alloy
Q: The aluminium alloy construction-how does it hold up in coastal or chemical - plant environments with high corrosion risks?
A: Aluminium alloy offers good corrosion resistance, but harsh environments (e.g., saltwater, chemicals) may accelerate wear. Apply additional protective coatings (e.g., epoxy) and conduct frequent inspections to maintain integrity.
9. Jet Range Differences (Water vs. Foam)
Q: The water jetting range and foam jetting range differ-why, and how to use this to advantage?
A: Water jets travel farther (due to lower viscosity), while foam expands and lingers but has shorter range. Use water for initial fire - perimeter control at a distance, then switch to foam for close - in suppression of flammable liquids, leveraging their respective strengths.
10. Maintenance of Lever Mechanisms
Q: The tiller (lever) control-what maintenance is needed to prevent stiffness or failure over time?
A: Lubricate pivot points regularly (e.g., every 6 months) with a corrosion - resistant lubricant. Inspect for wear, misalignment, or debris buildup. Clean the lever and control linkage after use, especially in dirty environments, to ensure smooth operation.
