VEHICLE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The following information is included to assist the vehicle builder to achieve a
successful installation.
The in-line foam strainer / valve assembly is a low-pressure device, rated at 3 bar and will
NOT withstand high flushing water pressure.
Seal all electrical power and ground connections with silicone sealant to prevent corrosion.
The system will not operate correctly with poor electrical connections. Verify all electrical
connections prior to start up.
Each Hale FoamLogix system is tested at the factory using the wiring harness provided.
Improper handling and abuse of connections will cause harm and may result in other system
damage.
Use fixings which are compatible with those foam concentrates used. Brass or 300 series
stainless steel are suitable.
The areas containing the PC2_ or PC1_ components must be adequately shielded from the
ingress of road spray / debris and chassis and vehicle power train lubricant. Exposure to dirt,
water and grease will have a detrimental effect on the working life of the drive belt and
electronics.
Full access to the bearing housing, compressor and gearbox oil fill points and level
checkpoints must be considered as well as access for general unit maintenance. The use of
removable side panels is advisable.
If the compressed air foam is to discharge through one or both of the side lockers and the
vehicle builder is fitting the necessary pipe work and isolating ball valves, those components
must have a consistent bore of 38mm up to the hose connector.
To prevent compressed air from being trapped in the pipe work, sealed blank caps
MUST
NOT
be used on CAFS discharges.
Direction of rotation of the input drive flange is clockwise, when viewed on the gearbox.
