FFS 1800LB SINGLE / DUAL FLOW MONITOR


FFS 406 JUN 2011

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.

OPERATION

2.1 Electric remote control mode The electric remote control mode is the normal way to operate the monitor. This can be done from a local or remote control panel. For details see separate documentation for the controls system. Note ! Installation instructions and setting of operating sectors must be followed and completed prior to running the monitor in remote control mode. Warning Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries.

2.1.1 System activation 1. Activate the water supply to the monitor starting the pump. 2. Fill up the piping system up to the monitor slowly and carefully in order to prevent any water hammering in the system. 3. Activate the control system for the monitor if it is not already activated. 4. Orient the outlet barrel of the monitor in such a direction that the water jet can not cause injuries or damages. Be aware that the power of the jet is extremely dangerous. 5. Orientation of the jet can now easily and accurately be manoeuvred from the control panel. Usually by means of ajoystick. 6. The monitor is also equipped with a deflector allowing for a wider spray beam pattern, this is normally activated from the control panel. 7. (Option Dual Flow) The unit can also be delivered with a Dual Flow, allowing for a lower flow setting at typical foam fire fighting applications. This function will normally be activated from the control panel 8. (Option Dual Barrel) The unit can also be delivered with a Dual Barrel, allowing for a lower flow setting trough a separate barrel. This barrel has an aspirating function for foam fire fighting applications. This function will normally be activated from the control panel. 2.1.2 System deactivation 1. Shut the water supply off. 2. Orient the monitor in the desired park position 3. If risk for sub zero whether condition, the nozzle shall be directed downwards below horizontal level in order to drain the nozzle. 4. Deactivate the monitor control system 5. Report any observed deviations from normal operation or wear.

2.2.2 Deactivating manual override. 1. To again prepare the monitor for electric remote control the crank handles must be folded into the hand wheel in their standby fold in position. Note! Never operate the monitor remotely with the cranking handles pointing out on the monitor. 2. Connect the power supply to the control circuits of the monitor. 3. Orient the monitor into a desired parking position. 4. Activate the monitor control system if that is included in the local procedures. 2.3 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 is reported and corrected.

3 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION


3.1 Maintenance The monitor does not require any regular maintenance. It is however recommended that the monitor should be operated electrically or manually on a regular basis. At least once a month is recommended, to see that the monitor is in good working order. This can be done with or without water supply. 3.2 Inspection Detail Inspection of the monitor is recommended to be carried out monthly. Visually inspect the monitor for any occurred damages, improper or unauthorised adjustments etc. Inspect for and repair any paint damage. The oil level of the gearboxes is not necessary to check since permanent lubrication is provided. The only check point necessary is to look for oil leakage, which is unusual. Electric motors and other moving parts are intended for marine application and will not require any special attention. Inspect and check that all bolts on the fire monitor are securely tightened.

4 TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAULT FINDING


This monitor is made to meet the highest requirements for reliability. If the operations and maintenance instructions are followed properly, malfunction or deviating performance shall not be expected. If any trouble is encountered, the guide can be of use. Observation Monitor does not move during remote control operation. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Check power supply to control circuits Check if motor protection is tripped. Make sure the monitor is not positioned in any extreme position (limit switches activated). Check functionality of electrical control system. 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 advice.

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

7 FFS 2400 and FFS 3600 series Barrel Docking Station


The FFS water monitors of type FFS 2400 and FFS 3600 are supplied with a support bracket. The bracket is to be mounted as a Barrel Docking Station and will unload the gravity forces generated by the heavy monitor barrel. This bracket is to be mounted outside the monitor working area and the monitor must be manually operated into the Barrel Docking Station when it is not in operation. The Barrel Docking Station is not an absolute requirement, but it is recommended by FFS to dock the monitor when not in operation to ensure a long life time of the monitor. The limit switches are set relevant to the opportunities of each individual application. Therefore, the FFS prescribed procedure is to use the elevation and rotation(if needed) hand-crank to manually fit the barrel to the Docking Station.

The support bracket is delivered with 4 mounting holes. This is to be mounted to the vessel structure for example on a supported rod to the deck or in combination with the vessels railing.
