6. Increase pump speed to required operating pressure (4-10 Bar). The system should
not be operated outside these pressures.
For dry foam the best pressure setting is 6-7 Bar. When air is being injected into the
manifold, the air injection indicator will be illuminated (item 11, page 17).
7. Open the delivery valve to discharge compressed air foam solution.
Note: when discharging dry foam at low pump pressure, the possibility of hose kinking is
increased and should be considered when deploying hoses.
Shutting Down
1. Set pump to fast idle.
2. Turn off compressor by setting the Foam / CAFS selector switch to foam position -
.
3. Turn off the FoamLogix, press
RED
button.
4. Run water through the CAFS discharge system to flush out the foam agent.
5. Close the CAFS discharge valves.
6. Disengage PTO.
7. If frost is expected, drain the manifold and gearbox oil cooler.
Overheat Shut down
1. Should the compressor oil temperature reach 105
o
C, a control panel warning
indicator will illuminate. The compressor can sustain 105º C for short periods without
damage.
2. If the compressor oil temperature reaches 110º C, the electromagnetic drive clutch
will automatically disengage. This will stop the compressed air supply and only
foam/water solution will be discharged. The compressor will automatically re-engage
when the unit has cooled.
3. The most probable cause of compressor overheating is insufficient cooling water
flow.
Flushing FoamLogix 3.3 or 5.0 only
When returning the apparatus to ready condition after using class B foam, the Hale
FoamLogix foam pump
must
be flushed. This is because some Class B foam
concentrates deteriorate rapidly. It is recommended that water be run through the pump
for two minutes.
NOTE:
Approved class A foam concentrates do not deteriorate at the rate of class B
foam concentrates. Provided that an approved class A foam concentrate is used and
the system is used within 10-12 weeks, flushing is not required. After class B foam
concentrate has been used, flush the system then select class A.
For detailed flushing instructions, please refer to the
FoamLogix Model 3.3/5.0
Description, Installation and Operation manual.
