Page 10: Rf Transmitters
An encoder, part of the horizontal motor, provides horizontal motion control feedback. The counter in combination with the PIC controller enables the monitor to oscillate between programmable endpoints that are set directly from the remote transmitter. The encoder enables the PIC controller to remember a home or stow position. This stow position can be used as a storage position for the monitor during transport. -

81327011 Primary Panel Mount RF Transmitter (Figure 9) The fixed RF transmitter sends signals to the monitor via an encoded radio signal, requiring no wires between the RF transmitter and the monitor. It is powered by the 12V or 24V vehicle electrical system. The faceplate is intended for a flush mount onto the pump or aerial ladder control panel. -

Figure 17 Mounting Hole Pattern B. Communication Address Setup A RF transmitter controls one 8294-06, 8294-06 EXT and 8394-07 monitors. The transmitter is digitally encoded with a security code to ensure that it does not accidentally control the wrong monitor. The receiver has a matching decoder and security code that instantaneously decodes and interprets commands. -

e) Change the switches to the settings of the RF Receiver/Control Module except switch A1. One incorrect setting will prevent the system from working. f) Reconnect the power leads. The Red lead is attached to the Positive (+) terminal; the black lead is attached to the Negative (-) terminal. - Page 22 b) 8394-07 The rotational stop screws (see Figure 20) set the monitor rotational limits (left-right and up-down) to satisfy the application requirements, as well as *NFPA requirements.

Page 24: Operating Instructions
VI. O PERATING NSTRUCTIONS A. Normal Operation The Scorpion Monitors use the standard Left/Right, Up/Down, and Fog/Stream commands to provide stream direction and pattern adjustments. a) To move the monitor left or right, press and hold the left or right button until the monitor discharge is in the correct position or a mechanical stop is reached. -
Page 25: Manual Override
C. Manual Override In the event of power failure to the monitor, the motors may be actuated manually. To operate a function manually, simply apply a ¾” ratcheting type wrench (either socket type or ratcheting box end type) to the hex fitting on the motor shaft. Warning: Using the horizontal override nut when the power to the receiver is off or the horizontal motor is disconnected will move stow position from its original programmed position. -
