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 13,
page 15).
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
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 3.3/5.0/6.5
