INTRODUCTION This manual contains information relevant to Godiva single or multi-pressure World Series Pumps, when partnered with Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS) FoamLogix Models 3.3, 5.0 & 6.5. Other than performance, foam capability and installation of the FoamLogix units, the Godiva components are common.
SAFETY - RELEVANT DATA Thank you for purchasing a Godiva Pump. Godiva Pumps are designed to give safe and reliable service. BEFORE use however, it is essential that the Operating and Installation Instructions are carefully read and understood. Maintenance It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the equipment is maintained in a safe operational condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION It is prohibited to pour engine oil and other contaminants onto the ground, down sewers, drains, or into water courses. Dispose of lubricants through authorised waste disposal contractors, licensed waste disposal sites, or to the waste reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact your Local Environmental Agency for advice regarding disposal policies.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW The WT_C or WS_C is a Compressed Air Foam System comprising of five major components – Air compressor, FoamLogix (foam proportioning unit) CAFS Manifold (foam mixing and control system), Oil-water heat exchanger & Separator tank A metered amount of foam is introduced into the Manifold and mixed with water from the pump discharge manifold.
Manifold The manifold incorporates an air ratio control valve through which degrees of wet or dry foam mixture can be selected. Compressed air is then injected and the resulting foam / water / air combination is thoroughly mixed by the X-mixers during discharge. A By-pass valve is fitted to help obtain the required dry foam flow rate, this valve is adjusted and set during the installation stage, it is not required during normal operation.
Oil Filling Points The unit is supplied without oil and must be filled with the correct quantity and specification before starting the pump. Bearing Housing Bearing housing oil filling point For oil type and capacity refer to Recommended Gearbox The pump gearbox filling point depends on the gearbox position in relation to the pump.
Gearbox in Horizontal Position, Left or Right of pump The oil filling point is on the side of the casing (RH gearbox shown) and is symmetrically opposite for LH gearbox. The oil level check point is lower on the side. Oil capacity and type as down position detail.
Compressor Drive Belt The compressor is driven by a synchronous belt. The installer must allow for access to adjust the jockey pulley belt tensioner. Tension the belt to achieve a 6-8mm deflection with a 6kg load applied at mid span, see diagram below.
Foam Tank Low Level Sensor The unit is supplied with a connector for a low foam level sensor. The sensor is supplied with the unit ready for installation (instructions supplied with the sensor). Note: the low foam level switch must be installed in the tank in the correct orientation.
Note hoses marked * should be capable of withstanding pressures of 10 bars and temperatures of 110 CAFS Manifold By-pass valve lever for setting dry foam consistency Foam Injection Water flow 3” Victaulic connection Air Injection (Both ends) Manifold should be mounted with provision for drainage. Foam and air injection points identified above.
VEHICLE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The following information is included to assist the vehicle builder to achieve a successful installation. The in-line foam strainer / valve assembly is a low-pressure device, rated at 3 bar and will NOT withstand high flushing water pressure. Seal all electrical power and ground connections with silicone sealant to prevent corrosion.
INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP FOAMLOGIX. Installation of the WT_C or WS_C assembly into a vehicle, when sourced with a FoamLogix 3.3 system is the same as the integrated 2.1A option, with the exception of the remote mounted foam pump assembly. For pump installation, please refer to the FoamLogix Model 3.3 &...
Turn the bypass valve on the FoamLogix to bypass and provide a suitable receptacle to collect the foam, agent. Ensure that there is sufficient foam agent in the tank(s). For two tank systems, select tank A Select simulated flow on the FoamLogix by pressing both up ↑ & down ↓ at the same time.

Smart Switch operation The CAFSAttack SPS Panel is the primary component of the CAFSAttack with compressor air-inject system. The SPS Panel allows monitoring and control of the consistency of the discharged CAFS concentrate. WET and DRY buttons The WET (or DRY) button is used to position the water valve at the preset position for the desired CAFS consistency.

Configure the WET and DRY presets The operator can set the WET and DRY presets for desired CAFS consistency. Configure the WET preset Press and hold the WET and DRY buttons simultaneously until the WET and DRY LEDs and backlighting begin flashing (approximately three seconds). Release the buttons.
Operating the WT_C WS_C from a Vehicle Water Source 1. Connect a suitable delivery hose and branch to the CAFS discharge. φ38 to φ45mm diameter lay flat hose with a φ25 to φ38mm smooth bore nozzle is suitable for delivering compressed air foam. Note: Superior foam quality is produced using a smooth bore nozzle and a delivery system with the least amount of valves and sharp bends.
Discharging Foam Agent Only (May be operated from open water, tank, or hydrant into pump suction) 1. Set pump at required pressure. 2. Ensure that the compressor clutch is not engaged. 3. Press the on button, and choose desired foam % setting to suit the foam agent being used and the operating conditions (factory default is 0.5% for Class A foam and 3% for Class B foam, if configured to run with two foam Foam to water ratio (%)
Shutting Down 1. Turn off compressor. 2. Turn off the FoamLogix, press RED button. 3. Set pump to fast idle. 4. Run water through the CAFS discharge system to flush out the foam agent. 5. Close the CAFS discharge valves. 6.
Note: Both the drive belt and the air cleaner may have to be renewed more often in dusty, dirty or heavy duty applications. Note: The Godiva Compressor service intervals replace those in the Gardner Denver Compressor manuals MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOAMLOGIX...
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS COMPRESSOR Compressor Oil Level Check - Oil / Filter Change Please refer to section Installation and Initial Set-Up for location of level checking, drain and filling features. Drain oil and change the filter (with the compressor warm) in accordance with the instructions in the Gardener Denver Tamrotor Tempest manual.
