selected (the foam B color is selectable in the
USER menu to be either red or yellow).
When the ON/OFF

change from gray to green (or yellow/red). If water flow is
present the foam pump starts and injects foam concentrate
into the discharge stream.
Note: If the operation screen was entered by pressing one of
the preset buttons then the foam system will be ON.
The bar graph lights when foam is being injected and
indicates system capacity.
When the ON/OFF button is pressed again the border color
will change to gray indicating that the system is in STANDBY
mode and the foam pump STOPS. However, other system
monitoring functions continue (water flow rate, total water
flowed).
DISPLAYED INFORMATION
Water Flow
The water flow display shows the current flow rate of water
of foam solution per minute in the Hale flow sensor
monitored discharges. The flow rate is determined by the
paddlewheel flow sensor rate and the water flow calibration
factor.
Foam Concentrate Percent
The foam concentrate percent display shows the foam
concentrate injection rate setting (0.1% to 9.9%).
Total Water Flow
The total water flow display shows the total amount of water
or foam solution pumped through the flow sensor monitored
discharges. This totalized value may be reset in the main
menu. It is also reset any time the SmartFOAM controller
power is disrupted.
Total Foam Flow
The total foam flow display shows the total amount of foam
concentrate pumped for the currently selected foam tank.
This totalized value may be reset in the main menu. It is
also reset any time the SmartFOAM distribution box power is
disrupted.
Motor Percent Bar Graph
The bar graph indicates what capacity of the motor is
currently being used to inject the foam concentrate from 0%
to 100%. The bar graph fills from the left (0%) to the right
(100%).
When water is flowing the bar graph begins showing to
indicate foam concentrate is being injected. The amount of
bar graph showing provides an indication of the approximate
pump capacity being used.
RESET WATER/FOAM TOTALS
The totalized values for water and foam concentrate pumped
are cleared from memory by using the Reset (Zero) Total
buttons in the main menu.
Enter the main menu by pressing the MENU button from the
