6.3.3.4 Using SmartCAFS With SAM
ALTHOUGH SMARTFOAM AND SMARTCAFS BOTH UTILIZE THE FOAM LABEL, A FOAM
LABELED DISCHARGE BUTTON DOES NOT OPERATE THE SAME WAY ON SAM FOR
BOTH SYSTEMS.
SAM also interfaces with a Hale SmartCAFS system. To utilize foam with the SAM system, two [2]
predecessors must be accomplished prior to activating a FOAM or CAFS system. Prior to activat-
ing a FOAM or CAFS system the appropriate foam concentrate tank must be selected and the
CAFS systems preset 1 and preset 7 must be configured to match the SAM presets configuration.
Once the two predecessors have been accomplished, to utilize foam with the SAM system, acti-
vate a FOAM/CAFS associated Quickset from the Auto Mode Home screen or FOAM/CAFS associ-
ated preset from the Valve X screen via the Select Discharge screen. The advantage of a CAFS
system is that CAFS can also provide traditional FOAM in addition to CAFS.
Once the SmartCAFS system is active, the SmartCAFS display may be used to control the CAFS
system as if the apparatus did not have SAM. Reference UV SmartCAFS Installation and Opera-
tion Manual (P/N FSG-MNL-00157).
THE SMARTCAFS COMPRESSOR CLUTCH MUST ONLY BE DISENGAGED AT SELECTED
RPMS, THEREFORE SAM DOES NOT TURN THE CLUTCH OFF ONCE THE SYSTEM IS AC-
TIVATED. ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH FROM THE SMARTCAFS CONTROL DIS-
PLAY ACCORDING TO FSG-MNL-00157.
NOTES
Any discharge plumbed into the CAFS manifold prior to the air injection point will be
FOAM ONLY capable. This configuration is supported by SAM via the FOAM label.
Hale configures all CAFS discharge Quicksets (and/or presets) as WET at the factory.
If a MED or DRY Quickset (and/or preset) is desired the apparatus builder/OEM must
configure both the SAM and the CAFS system to match.
6.3.3.4.1 Activating A SmartCAFS Quickset
IF THE DISCHARGE DOES NOT ACTIVATE VERIFY THE CAFS SYSTEM PRESETS (PRE-
SET 1 FOR CAFS, PRESET 7 FOR FOAM ONLY ON THE SMARTCAFS DISPLAY) CONFIG-
URATION MATCHES THE SAM CONFIGURATION. (SAM WILL ONLY ACTIVATE MATCHING
CONFIGURATIONS–WET, MED, OR DRY.) IF THE CONFIGURATIONS DO NOT MATCH, OP-
ERATE SAM MANUALLY TO OPEN THE VALVE USING THE SAM CONTROL CENTER. THEN
OPERATE THE CAFS SYSTEM FROM THE SMARTCAFS DISPLAY.
To activate a SmartCAFS Quickset, perform the following.
A.
Select appropriate foam concentrate tank. (Reference FSG-MNL-00157.)
B. Touch desired Quickset button. (All CAFS available discharges are labeled with
one of the following words: DRY, MED, WET, FOAM.) See Figure 111.
