  • Page 25: System Overview

    4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW SAM is designed to automate the pump operation by simplifying the man machine interface and speeding up the pumping process. SAMs purpose is to get water available to the fire ground faster and to allow the pump operator the freedom to control the pump from multiple locations and provides the advantage of a better (more direct) view of the fire scene and other company personnel.
  • Page 26 Finally, SAM is customizable (configurable) for your department operations regarding the follow- ing: • Valve names and colors • Up to four Quicksets (discharge valve at a preset pressure) may be selected for display on and controlled (with automation) from the SAM Auto Mode screen (which allows one touch control from that screen).

    Figure 8 shows the governors mode screens when in the low intake pressure governing mode, the left-hand graphic shows the screen in SAM Auto Mode while the right-hand graphic shows the screen in SAM Manual Mode. Low intake pressure governing is a special mode used to protect the water supply when the intake side of the pumps pressure falls to a user selectable level.

  • Page 35: Engine Data Icon Group

    The tank-to-pump icon group provides manual control of the tank-to-pump valve, which controls the flow of water from the onboard water tank to the pump. With SAM in Auto Mode, this valve is controlled by the SAM system to prime the pump and provide an initial water supply for pumping operations.

  • Page 36: Buttons/Targets (Drag And Drop Navigation)

    4.1.2 Buttons/Targets (Drag And Drop Navigation) The SAM user interface utilizes drag and drop technics and items in the form of buttons and tar- gets. (See Figure 14.) Buttons typically appear around the perimeter of (or adjacent to) the target and some buttons incorporate chevrons to enhance the intuitiveness of how to drag the button to the target.

  • Page 37: Sam Touchscreens

    Additional navigation is available during the transitions. If immediate opening of a master intake valve is required, touch the PRIMING or VENTING button (popup text). Then acknowledge the Force INTAKE X Open? confirmation popup that appears by touching the YES button. (NOTE: Us- ing this feature will override the priming function and could allow air from the supply hose into the pump.) See Figure 16.

  • Page 38: Sam Control Center Screens

    4.2.1 SAM Control Center Screens When power is first applied to the system the SAM splash screen (Figure 17) is displayed until the system boots into the user interface. If SAM completes the boot sequence and all of the Auto Mode conditions have NOT been met the SAM Control Center displays the landing screen (Figure 18) until all of the Auto Mode conditions are met and then transitions to the Auto Mode Home screen (Figure 19).

    The tablet utilized a secured wi-fi connection to ONLY communicate with the paired SAM Control Center and only one tablet can be paired to the associated SAM Control Center (apparatus). This allows multiple apparatuses to operate on the same fire scene without undesired tablet interac- tions and prevents other devices from being connected to the tablet.

  • Page 56: Pump Priming

    If the water temperature reaches (or exceeds) 122° F (50° C) the COOLANT TEMPERATURE HIGH CRITICAL WARNING (see Section 6.3.7, Operator Responses To SAM Alarms, page 106) is activated. When the onboard tank water temperature becomes too high the ONLY alternative is to flow wa- ter to atmosphere (ground) by ensuring an external water source is active and then slightly open- ing a discharge (or discharges).

  • Page 57: Manual Prime

    To stop priming prior to the timeout, simply touch the intake button and drag it off the target (swipe it back to where it was). If the SAM Auto prime does not operate as anticipated, simply use the manual prime (see para- graph 4.6.2, below).

  • Page 58: Sam And Foam Systems

    4.9 SAM And Foam Systems Hale Foam systems on a SAM equipped apparatus is always an option. One of the following foam systems may optionally be added to a SAM equipped apparatus: SmartFOAM or SmartCAFS. The SAM provided gateway to each foam system is described below. 4.9.1 SmartFOAM SAM utilizes the Green CAN bus to interface with the SmartFOAM system.

  • Page 59: Installation

    5. INSTALLATION The following guidelines assist the installer with system installation. Carefully review the proce- dures provided in the SAM TM (FSG-MNL-00211) to ensure proper installation of the system. Hale provides SAM systems in three forms: As a pump kit with loose valves, as a pump kit with installed valves, and as a Hale built module.

  • Page 60: Drive Line Requirements

    Hale Built Module As with a pump kit, the OEM/apparatus builder must install the Hale built SAM module following all guidelines provided in sections 5.1 (Drive Line Requirements, see page 44), 5.2 (Power Re- quirements, see page 45), 5.3 (Compressed Air Requirements, see page 47), and 5.4 (CAN Bus Requirements, see page 47) below.

  • Page 61: Power Requirements

    OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MUST NOT BE SUPPLIED FROM THE SAM SYSTEM SUPPLY. DO NOT CONNECT THE PRIMER AND HALE SAM TO THE SAME POWER WIRE. When an optional SmartFOAM system is selected a third +12 VDC power source capable of 40 Amps (for a 1.7 AHP or 2.1 A foam pump), 60 Amps (for a 3.3 or 5.0 foam pump), or 80 Amps...

  • Page 62: Figure 52. Connect System Power Tag

    The entire system operates from +12 VDC. The SAM +12 VDC power maximum current (stated above) verses typical operating current (approximately 10 Amp unless valves are moving against high pressure) is significantly different. This large difference is due primarily to the current re- quired to deadhead a valve drive motor which, occurs when the valves are calibrated (and may occur when the valves are fully opened/closed).

  • Page 63: Compressed Air Requirements

    5.3 Compressed Air Requirements The OEM/apparatus builder shall supply dry compressed air with a minimum of 75 psi, a maxi- mum of 150 psi. (Typically, from the vehicle air brake system which is typically capable of the 90 psi to 150 psi at approximately 13 cfm at 1250 rpm.) The pump kit or module provides a loose coil of hose to connect the OEM/apparatus builder supplied air.

  • Page 64: Valve Mechanical Override Access Requirements

    5.5 Valve Mechanical Override Access Requirements Position/orient all valves to provide access to the mechanical override shaft (Figure 54). The shaft accepts a 7/16-in (11 mm) socket (or wrench). As much as possible position all valves to provide valve override using the socket (with or without an extension) and a driver. Figure 54.

Then tell SAM what discharge lines to open and their set pressure with a few swipes on the screen and SAM takes care of the details.

  • Page 83: Selecting The Desired Pumping Method

    Getting SAM into Auto Mode requires all the applicable bulleted items (listed above the figures) to be met. Additionally, SAM requires truck supplied compressed air (from the brake system) and water in the onboard water tank. SAM performs many functions; however, SAM does NOT adjust for friction losses or altitude. The system simply maintains pressure set points as measured near each individual discharge valve.
