III. S YSTEM OMPONENT ESCRIPTIONS 8294-07 Scorpion RF Monitors (Figure 4) The 8294-06 Scorpion is a cast aluminum monitor with 4" waterway. The waterway contains a central vane to minimize large-scale turbulence and provide superior fire streams. Monitor water supply connection is a 4 inch 150 lb. ANSI pattern flange. -

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 ten turn potentiometer 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 6) 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. -

Page 14: Communication Address Setup
Figure 9 Mounting Hole Pattern B. Communication Address Setup A RF transmitter controls one 8294-07 monitor. 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. -

Page 18: Operating Instructions
VI. O PERATING NSTRUCTIONS A. Normal Operation The Scorpion Monitor uses 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 19: 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. - Page 20 Warning: Never activate the “Stow” feature while water is flowing. Serious injury to personnel and damage to apparatus could result. Warning: It is up to the system designer to appropriately handle the open circuit condition of the stow signal. In the open circuit mode there is no source to turn off the stow signal load; which may lead to erroneous signal indications if not handled properly.
