3.3.7 Slave Monitor/Turret Left/Right Switch
When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a center-off toggle switch with momentary positions each side of
center off. When the common of the switch is connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “Right” position, the monitor/tur-
ret will be driven to the right until the switch is released, a soft-limit is encountered, a hard stop is encountered, a Master Left/Right
switch is activated, or some other disabling function is encountered. When the common of the switch is connected to –Battery
(usually ground) by moving the toggle to the “Left” position, the monitor/turret will be driven to the left until the switch is released,
a soft-limit is encountered, a hard stop is encountered, a Master Left/Right switch is activated, or some other disabling function
is encountered.
3.3.8 Slave Nozzle Pattern Fog/Stream Switch
When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a center-off toggle switch with momentary positions each side of
center off. When the common of the switch is connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “Stream” position, the nozzle will
be driven such that the pattern will become more straight stream in discharge nature until the switch is released, the limit of
adjustment is reached, a Master Fog/Stream switch is activated, or some other disabling function is encountered. When
the common of the switch is connected to -Battery (usually ground) by moving the toggle to the “Fog” position, the nozzle will be
driven such that the pattern will become more fog in discharge nature until the switch is released, the limit of adjustment is reached,
a Master Fog/Stream switch is activated, or some other disabling function is encountered.
3.3.9 Flow Rate High/Low Switch
When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a two position maintained toggle switch so that flow rate (some-
times referred to as the gallonage control) will be evident by looking at the toggle switch position. When the common of the switch
is
connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “High” position, the monitor/turret flow baffle will be driven toward the
high flow rate position until the limit of adjustment is reached, or some other disabling function is encountered. When the common
of the switch is connected to - Battery by moving the toggle to the “Low” position, the monitor/turret flow baffle will be driven
toward the low flow rate position until the limit of adjustment is reached, or some other disabling function is encountered.
3.3.10 Oscillation Set/Start – Pause/Resume Switch
When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a center-off toggle switch with momentary positions each side of
center off. When the common of the switch is connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “Set/Start” position, the moni-
tor/turret rotation will be driven toward the right until the switch is released, a soft-limit is encountered, or a hard-limit is encoun-
tered. That point will be assigned the rightmost travel point in the auto-oscillate profile. The monitor/turret will again automati-
cally reverse direction and move to the left until the “Set/Start” switch is pushed and released, a soft-limit is encountered, or a
hard-limit is encountered. That point will be assigned the leftmost travel point in the auto-oscillate profile. The monitor/turret
will then automatically oscillate back and forth between those two points until the common of the switch is connected to -Battery
by moving the toggle to the “Pause/Resume” position, a Left or Right command is received from a switch or joystick input, or some
other disabling function is encountered. Use of the “Pause/Resume” switch will only pause oscillation, and pushing the Pause/Re-
sume switch a second time will cause oscillation to be resumed using the current positions. Use of a Left or Right command will
cancel oscillation and the profile will be cleared. The monitor can be moved up and down during oscillation without cancelling the
oscillation function.
3.3.11 Discharge On/Remote/Disable Switch
When this switch input functionality is provided, it is best fed by a center-off toggle switch with maintained positions each side of
center off. When the common of the switch is connected to +Battery by moving the toggle to the “On” position, the Discharge
output (logic output #3 and H-Bridge Axis #5 output) will be driven such that the discharge will be turned on regardless of any
external device (joystick) until the switch is returned to the “Remote” or “Off” position. When the common of the switch
is connected to -Battery (usually ground) by moving the toggle to the “Off” position, the Discharge output ((logic output #3 and H-
Bridge Axis #5 output) will be driven such that the discharge will be turned off regardless of any external device (joystick) until the
switch is returned to the “Remote” or “On” position. When the switch is in the center or “Remote” position, control of the discharge
output(s) is turned over to the state of remote devices (i.e. Joystick trigger).
3.3.12 Collision Zone Permissive
When this switch input functionality is provided, it is normally driven by some type of limit switch. To provide the maximum
flexibility, it will accommodate a PNP sourcing or NPN sinking device as well as a normal electromechanical limit switch. The use
of this is to force an operational envelope subset on the monitor/turret when certain external conditions apply. An example might
be a ladder being extended beyond the monitor on occasion which would need to partially restrict movement of the monitor. This
input is active in the permissive condition. It needs connected to Battery or –Battery to permit movement into the collision
zone.
