Description
The FFS single/dual flow monitors offer a unique combination of high performance in relation to weight and dimensions. The units are extremely robust and require minimal maintenance. The monitor flow channels are designed using the latest technology in fluid engineering. In this way low pressure loss is achieved, and the throw characteristics are well within FI-FI 1 requirements. The monitors are manufactured and performance tested in Scandinavia in accordance with the highest quality standards. Material for main castings is nickel-aluminium-bronze with superb strength and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel (AISI 316L) and composites are used for smaller components. Ball bearings for elevation and horizontal movements are made from high grade stainless steel and permanently grease filled. They are sealed from both internal water pressure and atmosphere by O-rings. The monitor is protected by a lightweight GRP cover, which can easily be removed. The dual flow mechanism is operated by water pressure. The components are well protected against external damage as integrated parts of the castings. The vertical and horizontal movements are operated by electrical motors via gearboxes. All gears are completely sealed from the surroundings, thus eliminating accidental contact. Robust hand wheels made from composites and stainless steel provide manual back-up operation for the monitor movements.

Installation
1.1 Safety precautions The installation is uncomplicated, but must be performed by qualified personnel. The directives given in this manual must be followed closely. Make sure that all electric power is disconnected before any installation or maintenance work is started. Only use approved and certified lifting gear for performing lifting operation.
Warning! Do not direct the flow beam towards any persons Cut the power before repairs and maintenance Risk of squeezing when the monitor is moving
1.2 Inspection Inspect the monitor carefully for any signs of transport damage or other deviations which may have occurred during transport. Make sure that all equipment and parts are available. Check ID plate for correct part and serial no. 1.3 Installation The monitor is intended to be mounted on a vertical standpipe. Reducer shall be max. 1m from the monitor inlet pipe bend min. 1m from the monitor inlet. Check to see that the interface flange on the standpipe matches the inlet flange on monitor base. Place a standard gasket on the flange and make sure that the correct no. of bolts and nuts are available. Lift the monitor onto the standpipe by use of suitable lifting slings and a crane according to enclosed lifting instruction 8.5. Make sure that the gasket is in place between the two flanges before the bolts are inserted. If a shut-off valve is installed just before the monitor, the swing-out for the disc must not interfere with the monitor inlet flange. Valve is recommended installed min 0,5m before the monitor. Install the bracket for the electrical junction box as following: 1) Normally to be mounted on the opposite side of the general throw direction by use of two of the flange bolts. 2) The Junction box should also be positioned at the middle point of the horizontal operation sector, allowing the flexible cable to move freely in both directions. The flange bolts shall be tightened in cross-sequence up to the recommended torque according to bolt class. Minimum recommended bolt class 8.8.
1.4 Adjustment of the operating sectors Caution! Read chapter 3 Operation before starting the monitor. Warning! Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries. 1.4.1 Setting the elevation limit switches Fig. 1, FFS 1200LB (limit switch setting), Remove the monitor protection cover. This is done by removing the four hand knobs Adjustable holding the cover. cam segments Two limit switches are located in the (2pcs). transparent circular box on the left side of the monitor. Remove the cover by turning it by hand counter clockwise. The top limit switches is restricting the movement upwards and the bottom one is Limit switches restricting the downward movement. (2pcs). Orient the outlet barrel of the monitor to the desired extreme lower position. Its recommended to use the manual override (see section 3.2) and avoiding operating the monitor beyond its mechanical limitations. Set the limit switch by lifting the bottom cam and turn it until the lower switch is activated and then release the cam. The spring will push the cam back on the splined shaft and lock it in correct position. Check afterwards with your hand that the cam is securely locked in position. When the outlet barrel located in its intended extreme position, control that the limits switch is operating normally by trying to activate the electrical motor beyond this point. If the setting is correct the monitor will only be possible to move from this extreme position towards the intended sector of operation. Set the limit switch in the upper extreme position operation by repeating the above described steps for the limit switch. The upper cam shall be pushed down and turned. Install the cover, and make sure that the sealing o-ring is in right position.
1.4.2 Setting the rotation (horizontal) limit switches Two limit switches are located in the transparent circular box/cover at the top of the monitor (see Fig. 2). Remove the top of the box by turning it counter clockwise. The top limit switches is restricting the movement towards left and the bottom one is restricting the movement towards right.
Orient the outlet barrel of the monitor to the desired extreme left direction (clockwise or counter clockwise). Its recommended using the manual override (see section 3.2) and avoiding operating the monitor beyond its mechanical limitations. Set the limit switch by lifting the bottom cam and turn it until the lower switch is activated and then release the cam. The spring will push the cam back on the splined shaft and lock it in correct position. Check afterwards with your hand that the cam is securely locked in position. When the outlet barrel located in its intended extreme position, control that the limits switch is operating normally by trying to activate the electrical motor beyond this point. If the setting is correct the monitor will only be possible to move from this extreme position towards the intended sector of operation. Set the limit switch in the right extreme position operation by repeating the above described steps for the limit switch. The upper cam shall be pushed down and turned.
Lock the cam segment in this position. When the outlet pipe is located in its intended extreme position, control that the limits switch is operating normally by trying to activate the electrical motor beyond this point. If the setting is correct the monitor will only be possible to move from this extreme position towards the intended sector of operation. Set the limit switch in the other extreme sector of operation by repeating the above described steps for the limit switch. Install the cover, and make sure that the sealing o-ring is in right position.

Caution! Read chapter 3 Operation before starting the monitor. Warning! Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries. 1. Remove protection cover. This is done by removing the four hand knobs holding the cover. 2. Check that all bolts and screws that have been adjusted or relocated are firmly fixed. Follow the instructions given in this chapter. 3. Check the equipment against material specification and order confirmation to ensure that voltage rating etc. is corresponding to the available power connection. Check also the water capacity and pressure rating. 4. Check that the settings of operating sectors are corresponding to the safe areas of operation. Study instructions in chapter 2. 5. Run the system according to instructions given in chapter 3. 6. After adjustment, a new functional test without water is recommended, before monitor is tested with water. 7. If foam concentrate have been used, flush the monitor with water afterwards. 8. Be aware of any obstacles, as radars, antennas, mast funnel and lights which may get damaged if hit by the water beam.
OPERATION
2.1 Electric remote control mode The electric remote control mode is the normal way to operate the monitor. This can be done from a local or remote control panel. For details see separate documentation for the controls system. Note ! Installation instructions and setting of operating sectors must be followed and completed prior to running the monitor in remote control mode. Warning Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries.
2.1.1 System activation 1. Activate the water supply to the monitor starting the pump. 2. Fill up the piping system up to the monitor slowly and carefully in order to prevent any water hammering in the system. 3. Activate the control system for the monitor if it is not already activated. 4. Orient the outlet barrel of the monitor in such a direction that the water jet can not cause injuries or damages. Be aware that the power of the jet is extremely dangerous. 5. Orientation of the jet can now easily and accurately be manoeuvred from the control panel. Usually by means of ajoystick. 6. The monitor is also equipped with a deflector allowing for a wider spray beam pattern, this is normally activated from the control panel. 7. (Option Dual Flow) The unit can also be delivered with a Dual Flow, allowing for a lower flow setting at typical foam fire fighting applications. This function will normally be activated from the control panel 8. (Option Dual Barrel) The unit can also be delivered with a Dual Barrel, allowing for a lower flow setting trough a separate barrel. This barrel has an aspirating function for foam fire fighting applications. This function will normally be activated from the control panel. 2.1.2 System deactivation 1. Shut the water supply off. 2. Orient the monitor in the desired park position 3. If risk for sub zero whether condition, the nozzle shall be directed downwards below horizontal level in order to drain the nozzle. 4. Deactivate the monitor control system 5. Report any observed deviations from normal operation or wear.
2.2 Manual override mode The manual override mode is a good and safe way to operate the monitor during installation and adjustment of limit switches. Also during maintenance and service, the manual override is useful. The manual override mode serves a back up possibility of the monitor in case of a power supply failure of the control circuits. 2.2.1 Activating manual override (with or without water supply to the monitor). 1. Make sure that the power supply to the monitor control circuits are shut off. 2. Release the crank handles located inside the hand wheel; these are spring loaded and must be folded out. 1. The monitor is now ready to be operated manually. To alter the orientations of the monitor turn the hand wheel accordingly.
Fig. 3, FFS 1200LB (rear view),
2.2.2 Deactivating manual override. 1. To again prepare the monitor for electric remote control the crank handles must be folded into the hand wheel in their standby fold in position. Note! Never operate the monitor remotely with the cranking handles pointing out on the monitor. 2. Connect the power supply to the control circuits of the monitor. 3. Orient the monitor into a desired parking position. 4. Activate the monitor control system if that is included in the local procedures. 2.3 After use Make sure the monitor is ready to be used on short notice, and that all functions are in good working order. Make sure that any observed deviations is reported and corrected.
If none-of the above suggested investigations lead to any conclusion, contact FFS for advice.
Observation Monitor does operate, but outside the pre-set operation sector during remote control operation. Warning. Stop operating the monitor immediately since permanent mechanical damage may occur! 1. This problem may occur if service or repair has been performed and the phase on the terminals on the 3 phase electrical system has been changed. In this case, the directions of rotation for the electrical motor may have changed; up become down and/or left becomes right. 2. Check if the limit switches are correctly set or if they are damaged.
