Description The FFS single/dual flow monitors offer a unique combination of high performance in relation to weight and dimensions. The units are extremely robust and require minimal maintenance.

The monitor flow channels are designed using the latest technology in fluid engineering.

In this way low pressure loss is achieved, and the throw characteristics are well within

FI-FI 1 requirements.

The monitors are manufactured and performance tested in Scandinavia in accordance with the highest quality standards.

Material for main castings is nickel-aluminium-bronze with superb strength and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel (AISI 316L) and composites are used for smaller components. Ball bearings for elevation and horizontal movements are made from high grade stainless steel and permanently grease filled. They are sealed from both internal water pressure and atmosphere by O-rings. The monitor is protected by a lightweight

GRP cover, which can easily be removed.

The dual flow mechanism is operated by water pressure. The components are well protected against external damage as integrated parts of the castings.

The vertical and horizontal movements are operated by electrical motors via gearboxes.

All gears are completely sealed from the surroundings, thus eliminating accidental contact. Robust hand wheels made from composites and stainless steel provide manual back-up operation for the monitor movements.

4. Description FFS fire water monitor

This instruction provides information of FFS manufactured fire water monitor models: FFS 600, FFS 1200, FFS 2400 and FFS 3600. The name corresponds to the monitors nominal working capacity, FFS 600 equals 600m3/h, but the capacity may vary depending on nozzle size. All models can be delivered in several different types. The actual unit(s) supplied may not include all features described in this instruction.

FFS monitors offer a unique combination of high performance in relation to weight and dimensions. The units are extremely robust and require minimal maintenance.

The monitor flow channels are designed using the latest technology in fluid engineering. Hence, low pressure loss is achieved, and the throw characteristics are well within marine Fi-Fi 1, 2 and 3 requirements.

Material for main castings is nickel-aluminum-bronze with superb strength and corrosion resistance.

Stainless steel (AISI 316L) and composites are used for smaller components. The monitor is painted with red color coating (RAL 3002). Ball bearings for elevation and horizontal movements are made from high grade stainless steel and permanently grease filled. They are sealed from both internal water pressure and atmosphere by O-rings. The monitor is normally protected by a lightweight cover, which can easily be removed.

The vertical and horizontal movements are operated by electrical motors via gearboxes. All gears are completely sealed from the surroundings, thus eliminating accidental contact. Robust hand wheels made from composites and stainless steel providing manual back-up operation for the monitor movements.

The various models in the FFS monitor range can also be supplied as manually operated monitors.

In these cases, the rotation and elevation of monitor is done by two hand wheels connected to shafts via gear wheels. All additional function can also be operated manually by hand wheel. The gears are self-locking for any horizontal, elevation or additional functions.

Monitors can be equipped with various nozzles:

Standard: Monitors with solid jet for long distance fire-fighting. Nozzle is equipped with a deflector to spread the water jet.

Jet-Screen: Monitors with possibility to either have a hollow jet for long distance fire-fighting, or a wide conical screen that can be used either for self-protection as well as short distance fire-fighting.

Monitors can be equipped as Single, Dual or Stepless Flow type. Dual Flow offers a reduced water flow-setting at typical foam fire-fighting applications. Stepless Flow offer an adjustable flow-setting between reduced and full flow-setting.

For safety precautions, installation and maintenance, see relevant chapters.

4.5. Work area/sector

Note!

With manually operated monitors, and remotely operated monitors in manual override, it is possible to rotate the monitor 360°. Be highly aware of any obstacles as people, buildings etc. in the surroundings when in use.

If the monitor is mounted on a platform, mobile unit etc., make sure to add clearance according to laws and regulations outside the monitors work area to prevent risk of crushing.

General dimensions of the monitor are stated in the order specific documentation.

When the fire water monitor is in operation, the water impact area must be carefully observed by the operator. The maximum throw length is stated in the order specific documentation. Note that the water impact force can be very dangerous to personnel, as well as potentially causing serious damage to objects and structures. Many monitors therefore have the option of reducing the direct impact force by activating the actuator to spread the water jet, or activating the screen function to get a wide conical screen. In these cases, the spray pattern will also cover a larger area.

Limit-switches (if used) are provided and needs to be set individually in each specific case, to limit monitors operating sector for remotely operation.

Contact: spareparts@fifisystems.com

If service or maintenance has been performed on the monitor, it must be operated remotely and without water before it can be set in to duty. This is to ensure that the monitor is within its operating sectors.

Make sure that the power supply is disconnected and that the water supply is shut off before doing any

Detailed inspection of the monitor is recommended to be carried out monthly;

Inspect the monitor carefully for improper or unauthorized adjustments etc. or any signs of damages or other deviations. Check for visible damages on coating, repair if needed.

The oil level of the gear-motors is not necessary to check; permanent lubrication is provided.

All bearings are permanently grease filled so re-lubrication is NOT needed.

On manual monitors, it is recommended to re-grease the threaded rod for deflector mechanism on a regular basis.

The monitor must be operated electrically or manually on a regular basis, at least once a month to ensure that the monitor is in good working order and to prevent load damages. All functions of the monitor are required to be operated. Operation check can be done with or without water supply (it is recommended to do it with water supply on). This is carried out by running the monitor to its end stops (6x), Rotation (2x), Elevation (2x), Deflector (2x), all additional functions are also required to be operated.

7. Lifting instructions

Start by removing cover (if applicable) to access the lifting points (remember to mount cover after lifting).

Only use approved and certified lifting gear for performing lifting operation.

When lifting the monitor either from the crate or onto the monitor standpipe, never attach lifting gear to the monitor nozzle. This could cause damage to the unit.

7.1. Sizes FFS 1200 series and smaller

8. General information for installation

The monitor foundation and standpipe must be dimensioned in each specific case depending upon the actual installation. Monitors can be installed on mobile units as well as permanent installations. Guidelines for foundation/standpipe design shall be applicable to rules and regulations regarding requirements for stress and deformation calculations of mechanical equipment.

Design and production of foundation/standpipe, must be performed by personnel with relevant engineering competence. When building the foundation/platform/standpipe make sure that there are no objects within the monitors operating area.

The order specific documentation gives input to foundation-calculations by providing information of weights, dimensions, reaction forces and other relevant data of the various monitor sizes. The image below is showing a typical arrangement for monitor foundation/standpipe.

When installing monitor FFS 2400 or FFS 3600 it is recommended that the FFS supplied docking bracket is mounted. The docking bracket is to be mounted outside the monitors normal operating sector.

Standpipe

Valve

Monitor

Reducer

8.1. Mechanical installation

Make sure the customer supplied standpipe has correct dimensions and is designed according to monitor weight and reaction force. The counter-flange surface must be flat and free from burrs and scratches to secure good sealing function. Check flatness of flange before monitor is lifted into position.

If a shut-off valve is installed just before the monitor, the swing-out for the disc must not interfere with the monitor inlet flange. A concentric butterfly-valve is recommended installed min 0,5m before the monitor.

Make sure the complete piping system from pump inlet to fire water monitor is free from any internal debris. This may cause serious damage to monitor internal parts at high water velocities.

The monitor is intended to be mounted on a vertical standpipe. Check to see that the interface flange on the standpipe matches the inlet flange on monitor base.

Place a standard gasket on the standpipe flange and make sure that the correct number of fasteners are available. Make sure that the gasket is in place between the two flanges before the bolts are inserted. Use high quality gasket material suitable for fire water service. The gasket dimensions must be according to pressure class and nominal flange dimension.

Lift the monitor onto the standpipe by use of suitable lifting slings and a crane according to lifting instruction described in chapter 7. Do not detach the lifting equipment before the monitor is fastened securely onto the standpipe.

All data and installations must be verified by the customer to ensure correct and safe installation.

Minimum requirements for flange bolts: Class 8.8.

The flange bolts shall be tightened in steps to avoid tilting of flange and in cross-sequence up to the recommended torque according to bolt class and size.

8.2. Installation on mobile units

When mounting a monitor on a mobile unit, pay special attention to the monitors high reaction force. The reaction force is stated in the order specific documentation.

The monitors FFS 2400 and FFS 3600 are supplied with a docking bracket as part of standard delivery.

The bracket should be mounted to the surrounding structure and will unload the gravity forces generated by the monitor nozzle. This is recommended on mobile units like trucks, trailers, boats etc. since vehicle movements can cause stress to gear wheels carrying the monitor nozzle. This can potentially reduce the lifetime of the gear motors.

The support bracket is delivered with 4 pre-drilled mounting holes.

Example of docking bracket below.

Docking bracket

8.3. Electrical installation

Before installing the monitor, make sure that the sign plate data corresponds to the power supply and operating condition and that the installation complies with the manufactures recommendations.

Install the electrical junction box in centre of horizontal operation sector and at the opposite side of the nozzle allowing the flexible cable to move freely in both directions. Use two of the flange bolts to fasten the bracket.

If limit-switches are to be used, direction of monitor movement must be confirmed. Make sure that monitor rotation to left is connected via left limit switch, rotation to right is connected via right limit switch, elevation upwards is connected via upper limit switch, and elevation downwards via lower limit switch.

Limit-switches use Normally Closed (NC) contacts that break the control circuit when switch is activated.

How to adjust the limit-switches are described in chapter 9.

8.3.1. Special conditions (CE, ATEX, etc.)

All external electrical connections are to be connected according supplied wiring diagram attached as

Appendix 01 and inside cover of the junction box.

Data for the electrical equipment mounted on the monitor is to be found attached as Appendix 02.

The supplier of the control system for the monitor must arrange installation according to local laws and regulations. The monitor is equipped with a safety switch near the junction box. This is to disconnect control system when doing mechanical maintenance or manual operation.

For all other electrical work on the monitor, power supply must be switched off and secured.

Bonding must be provided. Bonding point is located on the monitor inlet flange, marked with a blue decal.

The potential-equalizing connections to the monitor and surrounding installation must be sized with a suitable cross-section area and made in compliance with local laws and regulations.

To make the monitor ATEX-compliant, the limit switches must be connected through EX-barriers in the control system

9. Adjusting limit-switches

If limit-switches are to be used, adjusting the operating sectors must be followed and completed prior to running the monitor.

Remove the monitor cover (if applicable). Unscrew the black lids on the limit-switches, turn by hand.

Inside the limit-switches there are two sensors (micro-switch or inductive switch) together with adjustable cams, one for each direction (left, right, up, down).

The outer cam must be pushed down and rotated into position, and the inner cam must be pulled up and rotated into position. Make sure that cams are firmly in its position after adjustment.

Orient the nozzle in each maximum direction.

Start by setting the relevant cam so the top of the cam is on the opposite side if the sensor. Rotate cam until sensor is activated:

Left: outer sensor, rotate cam clockwise

Right: inner sensor, rotate cam counter clockwise

Up: outer sensor, rotate cam clockwise

Down: inner sensor, rotate cam counter clockwise

Confirm that all directions are properly adjusted by running the monitor remotely. Small adjustments may be necessary on the cams.

Mount lids on limit-switches and monitor cover (if applicable).

Adjustable cams

10. Start-up and comissioning

Read operation manual before starting the monitor.

Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries.

1 Remove monitor cover (if applicable).

2 Check that all bolts and screws that have been adjusted or relocated are firmly fixed. Follow the instructions given in this chapter.

3 Check the equipment against material specification and order confirmation to ensure that voltage rating etc. is corresponding to the available power connection. Check also the water capacity and pressure rating.

4 If limit-switches are to be used, check that the settings of operating sectors are corresponding to the safe areas of operation. Study instructions in chapter 9.

5 After adjustment, a new functional test without water is recommended before monitor is tested with water.

6 Run the system according to instructions given in operation manual. Make sure there are no water leakage.

7 Verify that the maximum pressure of the monitor is not exceeded.

8 If foam concentrate has been used, flush the monitor with fresh water afterwards.

11. Troubleshooting

The monitor is made to meet the highest requirements for reliability. If the operations and maintenance instructions are followed properly, malfunction or deviating performance should not be expected. If any trouble is encountered, this guide can be of use.

Observation:

Monitor does not move or moves slowly/unevenly during remote control operation.

1 Check power supply to control circuits.

2 Check if motor protection is tripped.

3 Make sure the monitor is not positioned in any extreme position (limit-switches activated).

4 Check for foreign objects in monitors inlet and main body.

5 Check flange for flatness, and that flange bolts are evenly torqued.

6 Check functionality of electrical control system.

7 Run the monitor in manual operation mode to exclude possibility of mechanical failure.

If none-of the above suggested investigations lead to any conclusion, contact FFS for consultation.

Observation:

Monitor does operate, but outside the pre-set operation sector during remote control operation.

Stop operating the monitor immediately since permanent mechanical damage may occur!

1 This problem may occur if service or repair has been performed and the phase on the terminals on the

3-phase electrical system has been changed. In this case, the directions of rotation for the electrical motor may have changed; up become down and/or left becomes right.

2 Check if the limit-switches are correctly set or if they are damaged.

Important Safety Information and Warnings:

Pay attention to the various important warnings listed below.

Warning! Means potential risk of serious damage to personnel or objects.

Modifications and operation of the monitor performed by unauthorized personnel disclaims FFS responsibility of any personal injury or property damage.

More details regarding the various issues are given in the following pages of this manual.

Warning! Make sure the monitor nozzle is pointing in safe direction before starting the system.

Warning! Keep safe distance from the high velocity water jet coming from fire water monitor nozzle.

Warning! Operator must always have clear view of the total fire water monitor working area during operation.

Warning! Make sure power supply is disconnected and water supply is shut off before doing any

Warning! Use proper safety gear when handling fire water monitor.

Warning! It is the customer responsibility that fire water monitor foundation and support are properly engineered.

Operation

How to operate depends on if the monitor is remotely or manually controlled. The general procedure is very much the same, so read the general instruction together with instruction regarding either remotely or manually controlled.

General

Do not stand in front of the monitor before the valve for the water supply is closed (risk of high waterjet/ water pressure).

Control system must be operated in such a way that max. water pressure is not exceeded. That means correct pump speed in relation to opening/closing of valves, numbers of water consumers in use etc.

Installation instructions and setting of operating sectors must be followed and completed prior to running the monitor.

If docking station is used, the monitor needs to be manually operated into its normal working sector before starting.

Monitor start up

1 Orient the nozzle of the monitor in such a direction that the water jet cannot cause injury or damage.

2 Activate the water supply.

3 Fill up the piping system up to the monitor slowly to prevent any water hammering. This can typically be done by having a small by-pass pipe from pump, running the pump at very low speed or having a small valve opening. The water shall be seen flowing out of nozzle before main valve can be opened and/or pump speed increased. Note that water hammer can cause serious damage to the equipment and pose risk to personnel.

4 Orientation of the jet can now easily and accurately be operated.

Monitor shut off

1. De-activate the water supply slowly.

2. Orient the monitor into the desired park position.

3. If risk for subzero weather condition, the nozzle shall be directed downwards below horizontal level to drain the monitor.

After use

Make sure the monitor is ready to be used on short notice, and that all functions are in good working order.

Make sure that any observed deviations are reported and corrected.

Remotely controlled monitor

Make sure that the manual crank handle on the handwheels are folded in before remote operation

Make sure no personnel can be in accidental contact with moving parts when switching between manual and remote fire water monitor control.

The electric remote control can be done from a fixed or remote control panel. For details see separate documentation from the control system supplier.

Manual override mode

The manual override mode serves as a backup possibility of the monitor in case of a power supply failure of the control circuits. This can be used with or without water supply to the monitor.

Activating manual override

1. Make sure power supply is disconnected by using the safety switch located near the junction box.

2. Release the crank handles located inside the hand wheels of the gear-motors; these are spring loaded and must be folded out.

3. The monitor is now ready to be operated manually. To alter the orientations of the monitor, turn the hand wheel accordingly.

4. If dual flow; locate the solenoid valve under the monitor nozzle. To regulate the flow, the valve is equipped with a manual override. Press the grey knob and rotate 90° to inner position.

Deactivating manual override

1. To prepare the monitor for electric remote control, make sure that the monitor is in normal working sector defined by the limit-switches.

2. Crank handles must be folded into the hand wheel in their standby fold in position.

3. Connect the power supply by using the safety switch near the junction box.

4. Activate the monitor control system if that is included in the local procedures.

Manually controlled monitor
