A.
Normal Operation
The Scorpion Monitor uses the standard Left/Right, Up/Down, and Fog/Stream commands to
provide stream direction and pattern adjustments.
a)
To move the monitor left or right, press and hold the left or right button until the monitor
discharge is in the correct position or a mechanical stop is reached.
b)
To move the monitor up or down, press and hold the up or down button until the monitor is in
the correct position or a mechanical stop is reached.
c)
To adjust the stream pattern, press and hold the fog or stream button until the desired stream
pattern is reached. Elkhart electric nozzles have a unique ball screw drive which when it reaches
the extents of travel will continue spinning until the button is released.
Any combination of left or right, fog or stream, and up or down can be used to achieve motion
horizontal, vertical, or nozzle commands simultaneously. If the left and right buttons are pressed at
the same time, the monitor will stop all motion. To continue motion, release both buttons and
repress the desired direction button. This is also true for the up/down and fog/stream commands.
The handheld remote transmitter has a power saving feature that turns the transmitter power off if no
signal is sent for 5 minutes. Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button until the Power LED illuminates to
reactivate the transmitter. The “Low Battery” LED will flash slowly when the battery voltage drops
below a predetermined level. When the low battery LED flashes rapidly, the batteries are nearly
discharged and should be replaced immediately.
B.
Oscillation Function
This version of the Scorpion supports oscillation in either a square or sine wave pattern (both motors
moving at the same time). The first pin of switch block A designates whether the monitor will
oscillate in a square or sine wave pattern. Selecting up will oscillate in a square pattern while
selecting down will oscillate in a sine pattern.
a)
Position the monitor at either the left or the right limit of oscillation.
b)
Press and release the oscillate button.
c)
Move the monitor to the other limit of oscillation.
d)
Press and release the oscillate button.
e)
The monitor will oscillate between the limits until the oscillation button is pressed again.
f)
Pressing the left or right button on one of the controls will also stop the oscillation.
For safety reasons, once oscillation has stopped the oscillation limits need to be reprogrammed
before it can be re-engaged. The nozzle fog, stream, and discharge elevation functions can be
operated while the monitor is oscillating.
