PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION 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.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS MONITOR Monitor – 7250 monitor is specially designed to be compact providing a greatly reduced swing radius. Unique waterway swivel joints utilize stainless steel thrust rods, and needle roller thrust bearings, for unprecedented durability in a range of applications. utilizes a cast vanned waterway to minimize large-scale turbulence.

CONTROL Joystick Controller - 7030 The Joystick Controller must be used in conjunction with the 7070 OEM Interface Module (Joystick and OEM Interface Module can be ordered together as the 7035 package). The Joystick Controller can be mounted inside the apparatus cab to control all monitor functions, including oscillation.
Page 7
OEM Interface Module - 7070 The OEM Interface Module is used in conjunction with either the Elkhart Brass or customer supplied joystick, or OEM installed switches. The OEM Interface Module may be configured to handle switching power or ground. The Interface Module provides the option of mounting a joystick or switches in the apparatus cab to control all monitor functions, including oscillation.

Light Kit – 7083/7084 The Light Kit provides illumination specifically for the areas targeted by EXM monitors. The Light Kit is mounted on top of the discharge elbow and follows the aim of the monitor. Installation instructions are included with the light kit. 7083 –...
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Overview: Step 1 – Mount and Wire All System Components Step 2 – Configure the EXM System (If Required) Recommended electrical requirements for monitor: Power and Ground wire gauge and length: Distance Ft.(m) Wire Gauge (AWG) 100(30.5) –...
When using CAN lines for communication there must be 2 termination points within the system. Termination points are explained further in the Configuration section (installation step 2). What is important at this time is that in order to maximize the efficiency of communication in your CAN network, you must terminate the two components at the extreme ends of your main CAN line.

Caution: Do NOT use motors or discharge as leverage to tighten monitor. Warning: When installing the monitor on a raised face companion flange, it is critical that the bolts be tightened uniformly to prevent misalignment of the monitor relative to the flange or valve. If the monitor becomes misaligned, the base flange will fracture and fail when the bolts on the “high”...

Connecting an OEM supplied proximity sensor to the wire from position 3 will provide conditional extended travel functionality via a ground or open circuit (see Operating Instructions). Connecting the proximity sensor wire from position 3 to a ground will provide an always enabled extended travel.

Joystick Controller and OEM Interface Module – Using the Joystick Controller template shown in the Valve Plug Component Mounting Templates section, drill all holes shown through the panel intended for mounting the Joystick Controller. Mount the Joystick Controller using 10-24 x ½” fasteners secured with blue Loctite 242 or equivalent.

If using a customer-supplied joystick or switches, all controls being used with the OEM Interface Module must be customer-supplied. o Customer-supplied controls/switches and the Elkhart Brass Joystick may not be used simultaneously. If there are any unused OEM Interface Module connections plug the connections with appropriate Deustch connectors and plugs.

o If the Stow Module will be a termination point (at the extreme end of your main CAN line), install the supplied jumper between positions 8 & 9 of the Stow Module Harness. Jumper Jumper Connect the Stow indicator leads of the Stow Module Harness to the customer supplied devices that the Stow Module is to actuate.

Install the valve into the water supply line. Supply power to the valve by connecting the red and black leads coming from the valve plug to an appropriate power source. Using the black, green, and blue leads from the plug, connect the valve to the appropriate CAN line.
Installation Step 2: Configure the EXM System NOTE: EXM systems using CAN communication and consisting of a monitor and one controller (panel mount or OEM interface) do not require configuration. EXM monitors and controllers come factory set for CAN termination. A position feedback display can also be used without the need for configuration;...
Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM System After successfully configuring the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types. To view a demonstration of system calibration and entering setup commands go to www.elkhartbrass.com to download the appropriate EXM System Instructional Video.
Page 21
If an Elkhart Brass Unibody valve is being used in your system, calibrate it at this time by first placing the valve in a half open position, and then pressing and holding the CLOSE and PRESET buttons on any controller until the valve calibration begins.
Installation Step 4: Check Installation After mounting, wiring, configuring, and calibrating the EXM system, check the installation of the entire EXM system. Ensure that all components have been mounted securely and have had the correct fuses installed within their wiring leads. ...

or itself as this will cause the motors to over current. The monitor may need to be manually reversed if this occurs. C. Re-calibrating Horizontal and Vertical Rotation Calibrating the EXM system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM systems of all types.

o The vertical travel limit should be set within the total allowed factory set travel or total travel specified during configuration of the system. If a travel limit is set outside the intended operating area, operation of the monitor may be unpredictable. o To set the highest travel point, hold the STREAM button, press the UP button, then release both buttons.
Page 26
Important: If using a Position Feedback Display with an extended travel monitor, the position display will need to be calibrated after setting new limits. F. Keep-Out Zones Keep-Out Zones are used when it is desired to restrict the motion of the monitor to a smaller more specific range than that set during system calibration.
Page 27
Figure 1: Keep-Out Zones G. Stow Position The Stow Position is a preset position that can be used to bring the monitor into a position suitable for when the system is powered off. A stow position must be within the allowed travel area defined by any travel limits or keep-out zones, therefore it is recommended that travel limits and keep-out zones are set before setting a stow position.
Page 28
The Clear All Function allows the user to remove any Travel Limits, Keep-Out Zones, or Stow Positions set while in Setup Mode. When the Clear All Function is used, it will remove all of the previously listed operations. The Clear All Function will not affect calibration points, Motor Speed, or Preset valve positions.

USB mode). Contact Elkhart Brass to make arrangements to send the EBDIAG.CSV file for review. O. Update Firmware ...
If the update did not perform correctly, the preset LED will blink three times every three (3) seconds. If the update did not perform correctly please call Elkhart Brass at (800) 346-0250. Remove the USB flash drive from the input controller to exit USB Mode. (On older systems it may be necessary to push the right button on the panel mount or hand held, or move the joystick right, to exit USB mode).

During nozzle flow test, inspect monitor swivel joints and water valve for leaks Inspect all exposed wiring for signs of damage If a Docking Station is used in the EXM system, use a clean cloth to wipe clean the brass contacts on both the Docking Station and any Handheld controllers used with the station.

If the Docking Station LED is rapidly flashing red (6 flashes per second), this could mean that the Handheld battery pack of the controller being charged is bad. If this occurs, contact an Elkhart Brass representative for further instruction.
