5. Read total water/foam usage.
a. Read the total displays on the operation
page.
6. Reset totalized values.

menu and press the reset water/foam total
button(s).
7. End foam injection.
a. Press the OFF button on the operation
screen. The system will stop the foam
pump and the display borders will change to

SIMULATED FLOW OPERATION
The Simulated Flow mode of the Hale SmartFOAM system
allows operation of the foam pump without discharging water
through a foam capable discharge or when the flow sensor
is not functioning.
The simulated flow mode is used for draining the foam tank
for:
❑
Cleaning
❑
Checking calibration of the feedback sensor
❑
Verifying foam pump operation
❑
Manually controlling foam injection if the flow sensor
malfunctions.
The factory default simulated flow rate is 150 GPM (568
LPM). The foam concentrate injection percentage rate is set
by the rate adjustment buttons on operation screen of the
SmartFOAM controller.
The simulated flow function provides manual operation of the
foam injection system required by NFPA standards.
CAUTION!
WHEN OPERATING THE HALE SMARTFOAM IN
S IMULATED FLOW MODE AN OUTLET FOR THE FOAM
CONCENTRATE MUST BE PROVIDED TO PREVENT
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILDUP IN DISCHARGE
PIPING OR HOSES.
SIMULATED FLOW SEQUENCE
Refer to Figure 46
: Setting Simulated Water Flow for
image steps of how to start simulated water flow.
1. Uncoil and place the end of the bypass hose into a
suitable container to collect the foam concentrate.
2. Place the BYPASS valve in the BYPASS position.
3. Energize the apparatus electrical system.
4. Place the system in simulated flow mode:
a. Press the MENU button.
b.
In the menu select the “simulated water flow”
button.
c. In the simulated water flow screen press the
ON/OFF button to toggle simulated water
flow. The icon indicates the current state.
d. Set the simulated flow to the desired rate by
using the INCR/DECR buttons.
e. Press the MENU button to return to the
menu.

1. First press the OFF button on the operation screen
to STOP the foam pump.
2. Take the system out of simulated flow mode:
a. Press the MENU button.
b.
In the menu select the “simulated water flow”
button.
