SAM BOOST™ WITH SMART NOZZLE N
4. OVERVIEW
The SAM BOOST™ system has two SAM™ SMART NOZZLES. These nozzles allow for the user to charge
the line remotely. Each nozzle is paired to a SAM enabled discharge valve that has the capability to close
loop pressure control the line. Activating a discharge line using the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE will automatically
increase the pump pressure and line pressure until the rated nozzle pressure is achieved.
The SAM BOOST™ system also acts as a normal NFPA compliant pressure governor capable of operating
in RPM and PSI engine control modes. It also includes an integrated tank-to-pump valve that will
automatically open with pump engagement and can be controlled via the display.

SMART NOZZLE OVERVIEW
The SAM™ SMART NOZZLE allows a pre-connected hose line paired to the nozzle to be charged from the
nozzle itself. The SAM™ SMART NOZZLE is designed for use with pre-connected hose lines up to 300 feet
in length. After charging the hose line from the nozzle, the system will adjust valve position and pump
pressure to attain rated pressure for rated flow at the nozzle using a nozzle pressure sensor.
When there is a restriction in flow, that reduces nozzle pressure, then SAM Boost™ will increase pump
pressure at the truck (up to the NFPA compliant limit for pressure spikes) automatically and will warn the
operator if desired pressure is not automatically obtained.
guesstimates at the pump panel.
Since the SAM™ SMART NOZZLE senses pressure, the typical manual estimates for
friction loss and elevation are not needed. The nozzle will deliver its rated flow and
pressure which may be higher than previous SOG provided and additional nozzle
reaction may be noticeable.
Nozzles which SAM™ SMART NOZZLE module can be integrated with include the Turbojet™, Assault™,
and Pyrolite shutoffs with smoothbore nozzles. Specified combination nozzle operating pressure can be 50,
75, or 100 psi depending on the nozzle and customer requirements. The SAM™ SMART NOZZLE module
and customer specified nozzle come completely assembled, ready to use with a properly configured SAM™
SMART NOZZLE system installed in the truck. The system will support up two separate nozzles equipped
with a SAM™ SMART NOZZLE module at the same time.
The SAM™ SMART NOZZLE also contains a tank level gauge that shows water level in the booster tank on
the truck. This water level is continually updated. The water level gauge turns blue when no longer running
from tank and running from an external water supply. Additionally, the level gauge goes dark if wireless
communication is lost. The nozzle display also shows a single red, slow blinking LED when there an issue
that can prevent the valve from opening. A firefighter can see what is happening at the nozzle and the digital
radio sends data back to the truck that the pump operator can use.
Unique to SAM™ SMART NOZZLE is an integrated pressure transducer. This transducer is used to send
nozzle inlet pressure back to a SAM™ equipped truck via digital radio. This closed loop system maintains
proper nozzle pressure automatically.

INSTALLATION, OPERATING, & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Firefighting is an inherently risky activity. Understand operation and limitations of
equipment and check for flow before entering any Immediately Dangerous to Life
and Health (IDLH) environment. Follow all training and guidelines from the Authority
