Page 3: Product Safety Information
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. Also, check to make sure stream direction will not cause avoidable property damage. -

SYSTEM COMPONENTS MONITOR Scorpion RF Monitors – 8294-06 & 8394-07 The 8294-06 and 8294-06 EXT is a cast aluminum monitor with 4” waterway while the 8394-07 is cast brass. The waterway contains a central vane to minimize large-scale turbulence and provide superior fire streams. - Page 6 As a further enhancement, the left-right motor direction of rotation automatically reverses when the monitor discharge is in the range of 0° to +30°. Without this feature, when the discharge travels above 0°, “left” would functionally become “right” and vice versa. If the proximity sensor changes state while the monitor is in the “master stream”...

The handheld remote case has a NEMA 4 rating. Primary Panel Mount RF Controller – 81327101 The fixed RF transmitter sends signals to the monitor via an encoded radio signal, requiring no wires between the RF transmitter and the monitor.

Page 9: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Overview: Step 1 – Mount and Wire All System Components Step 2 – Communication Address Setup Step 3 – RF Settings Setup Installation Step 1: Mount and Wire All System Components Warning: It is up to the system designer to appropriately handle the open circuit condition of the stow signal. - Page 10 Monitor Wiring – Crimp a fused lead from a switched positive power source to the red lead (pin C) of the power harness supplied. Use a 10A fuse for the 8294-06 & 8294-06 EXT, and a 15A fuse for the 8394-07. Crimp a lead from the vehicle ground to the black lead (pin A) of the monitor power harness.
- Page 11 Power indication can be created by attaching an LED and proper resistance between the VCC (+3V) and ground connections. Max rating for the VCC connection is 250mA. The transmitter’s antenna is to be mounted using the 10’ antenna cable provided. Locate one of the antennas outside the vehicle compartment, and in a position that provides the least obstructed line of sight to the monitor’s antenna.

Installation Step 3: RF Settings Setup RF Receiver/Control Module Settings – Remove the cover from the RF Receiver/Control Module. SW4 (see Figure 1) allows this board to be used in different product applications. In order for it to properly operate the Scorpion RF monitor, it must be set to one of the following positions: 8294-06 &... - Page 14 This can take 3-5 minutes and is required to sync the handheld to the monitor. The handheld is now ready for use. Figure 2: Handheld RF Controller Circuit Board Caution: Do NOT change switch A position 1 on any transmitter. This switch is used to set the priority setting of the transmitter and changing this switch may remove override capabilities.

Installation Step 4: System Programming Programming Stow Position 8294-06 & 8394-07 On the monitor receiver board switch A position 1 “ON” is stow up, while switch A position 1 “OFF” is stow down. If any selections are changed, power must be cycled. ... - Page 16 Rotational Limit Settings 8294-06 The rotational stop screws (see Figure 4) set the monitor rotational limits (left-right and up-down) to satisfy the application requirements, as well as NFPA* requirements. The monitor is shipped from the factory with the horizontal travel limits set at 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right of the zero (straight ahead) position.
- Page 17 Figure 4: Scorpion RF Rotational Stops Caution: At least one stop screw is required to prevent damage to the monitor. If the monitor is set with the horizontal setting at 174 degrees left or right of the zero (straight ahead) position, the vertical setting will need to be set to 30 degrees below horizontal as the maximum lowest position.

Page 18: Operating Instructions
The monitor(s) shall allow the operator to control the aimed direction of the 20.12.3.2 nozzle through a rotation of at least 45° on either side of center and at least 45° above and below horizontal. The horizontal and vertical traverse of the monitors shall not exceed the 20.12.3.3 elevating platform manufacturer’s recommendation. - Page 19 Storing the Monitor Elkhart Brass recommends that a stow position be set and the stow routine be utilized to place the monitor in its stowed position after each use. 8294-06 & 8394-07 These monitors have a user selectable stow position (see Programming Stow Position section for instructions).
- Page 20 Once the monitor starts to move to the stow position, the stow signal output will continue to supply a ground while the monitor is moving to the stow position. The ground will be removed after the monitor reaches the stow position and the stow signal output will be an open circuit.

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION Monitor Preventive Maintenance The complete monitor and control system should be inspected during each apparatus check. Careful inspection for damage to the monitor or nozzle is especially important after use of the Scorpion RF monitor in emergency operations. ... - Page 22 Understanding System LEDs LED Notations o DS1 – Lights when either nozzle direction is engaged. o DS2 – Lights when either of the AUX buttons are pushed. o DS3 – Comes on when the UP or DOWN button is pressed. o DS4 –...
- Page 23 Handheld Controller Battery Type The Scorpion handheld controller uses two AA Lithium batteries. The low battery light will illuminate with approximately two hours of transmission time remaining before the batteries are completely discharged. Due to the time-voltage characteristics of rechargeable batteries, this time could be drastically reduced if rechargeable batteries are used.
