    4.2.1 INLET FITTING OR EXTEND-A-GUN INSTALLATION The Typhoon Monitor is available with various inlet fi ttings as shown in fi g 3.3. When the inlet fi ttings are used see fi gure 4.2.1A for the addition to overall height. The Typhoon Monitor also connects directly to TFT’s Extend-A-Gun RC3 or RC4. The fi ttings and Extend-A-Gun RC are attached to the monitor by means of a threaded joint with an o-ring seal.
  • Page 15 Straight Ahead Reference Mark on the monitor. NOTE: Typhoon monitor, for use with Extend-A-Gun RC, comes with the wire installed in a nylon tube. The nylon tubing gives the wire additional stiff ness so it better follows as the Extend-A-Gun RC extends or retracts.
