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.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS MONITOR EXM2 Monitors The EXM2 monitors are 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.
CONTROL Joystick Controller – 7030X2 The Joystick Controller can be mounted inside the apparatus cab to control all monitor functions, including oscillation, stow and deploy. The monitor direction (both vertical and horizontal movement) is changed by moving the joystick in the desired direction of travel. The up-down and left-right motions can be operated simultaneously with pressure sensitive speed, moving the monitor faster or slower depending on how far the joystick is pushed and pulled.
MONITOR & VALVE ACCESSORIES Position Feedback Display – 7051X2 All EXM2 monitors come with Absolute Position Feedback sensors. These sensors provide constant feedback to the monitors’ processor even when the monitor is moved via manual override. This information is then transmitted to the Position Feedback Display.
Recommended electrical requirements for the EXM2 input devices • Power and Ground wire gauge and length: 18-20 AWG Cross link or equivalent 105°C 150V up to 150 ft. (45.7 m) • Maximum input controller amperage draw: 500mA • CAN wire type and shielding: Twisted shielded pair - 105°C 150V (Belden 9841 series or equivalent) •...
Installation Step 1: Mount and Wire All System Components • Before mounting the EXM2 monitor, ensure that space allows for monitor to be rotated and calibrated. Disconnect all electrical connections. • Mount the monitor onto base: Flange Size Bolt Size Torque 3(76.2)-150# 5/8-11 UNC grade 5...

Stow Output: The EXM2 monitor provides one electrical output to which an OEM can connect to in order to enable/disable truck operations based on whether an EXM2 monitor is stowed or not stowed. This could be used, for example, for a truck that has an aerial or other movable object that may hit the monitor if moved when the monitor is not stowed.
Connecting an OEM supplied proximity sensor to the wire from position 4 will provide conditional extended travel functionality via a ground or open circuit (see Operating Instructions). Connecting the proximity sensor wire from position 4 to a ground will provide an always enabled extended travel.

• Group number used for multiple monitors on system • Valve ID change for multiple valves • CAN address for special system of not using Elkhart Brass controls • Valve closure before stowing monitor need to be turned off If the system requires configuration, please refer to the EXM2 System Configuration Manual (P/N 98612001) for configuration instructions.
Installation Step 3: Calibrate the EXM2 System NOTE: If calibration was completed during the previous step, skip step 3. After successfully installing the system, the system must be calibrated. Calibrating the EXM2 monitor’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM2 systems. If it was necessary to configure your system using Wi-Fi, calibration can also be done via the Wi-Fi interface.

• Press and hold PRESET and then press and release either the LEFT or RIGHT button. (On the joystick, hold PRESET and move the stick to the right or left and release) The status LED on the monitor should blink then turn solid. •...
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 using the manual override, and then pressing and holding the CLOSE and PRESET buttons on any controller until the valve calibration begins.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A. Button / Joystick Operation • POWER – Turns Hand Held controller on and off. • OSC (OSCILLATE) – Used to set automatic motion of the monitor • STREAM – Moves the nozzle in order to flow a straight stream of water (See step I, Oscillation for directions) (Roll thumbwheel forward on the Joystick)

D. Re-calibrating Horizontal and Vertical Rotation Calibrating the EXM2 system’s horizontal and vertical rotation is a necessary step for EXM2 systems of all types. The calibration points serve as a starting point for all other motion limits and commands entered to the EXM2 system. If not properly calibrated, the system may not operate correctly.
F. Extended Travel (Applies only to Cobra & Boa EXM2) The extended-travel-capable EXM2 monitor’s maximum vertical travel is dependent on the state of an additional input to position 4 of the 8-pin monitor power connector. This input allows the attachment of an OEM provided proximity sensor to trigger an open or grounded state of operation.
• Lower-Left Keep-Out Zone – The Left Keep-Out Zone will prevent the monitor from moving down and to the left into a specified zone (reference figure 1). • Put the EXM2 system into the Setup Mode (reference Part B of the Operating Instructions section) •...
J. Motor Speed The speed of both the horizontal and vertical motors can be changed from something different than that set at the factory or during configuration of the EXM2 system. The monitor’s horizontal and vertical motors can be set to either Fast or Slow in one of four combinations. •...
N. Valve Operation • OPEN – opens the valve. If the button is released, the valve will remain in the current position until another valve operation is performed. • In order to initiate auto-travel open, press and hold the OPEN button, then press and release the CLOSE button, then release the OPEN button.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Preventive Maintenance The complete monitor and control system should be inspected during each apparatus check. Careful inspection for damage to the monitor, valve or nozzle is especially important after use of the EXM2 monitor in emergency operations. • Operate all possible functions to ensure that each works normally •...
