6.8. How To Assign/Change A Valves Index Number
After selecting the desired valve, touch the Index (0-11) text box (see Figure 161). The number
pad, CLEAR, and ENTER buttons appear (on the right-hand side of the screen).
Figure 161. Edit Valve Screen –Number Pad, CLEAR And ENTER Buttons
Touch the desired index number digit(s) then touch ENTER button. (Touch CLEAR button to de-
lete text box data.)
NOTES
Index numbering effects other features, placement, and organization within groups on
the SAM system. I.E. A maximum of four intakes can be displayed on the SAM Auto
Mode Home screen, those indexed 0 thru 3. Any intake indexed 4 or 5 can ONLY be
operated from the Manual Mode screens. Discharge valves are listed in the DIS-
CHARGE SETTINGS screen in index order.
Do NOT index an auxiliary intake (Pony) as 0 thru 3. These valves can ONLY be draft
operated in Manual Mode. Additionally, pony valves are NOT opened by SAM in the
same way as MIVs in Auto Mode (no automatic priming or air bleed). Pony valves also
require unique CAN addresses (static).
VALVE INDEX NUMBERS MUST BE UNIQUE WITHIN THAT TYPE OF VALVE (FUNCTION).
NO TWO INTAKES CAN HAVE THE SAME INDEX NUMBER AND NO TWO DISCHARGES
CAN HAVE THE SAME INDEX NUMBER. HOWEVER, ONE INTAKE AND ONE DISCHARGE
MAY HAVE THE SAME INDEX NUMBER.
6.9. How To Assign/Change A Valves Function
After selecting the desired valve, touch the Function (0 – 4) text box. (see Figure 161, except
Function (0 – 4) is highlighted). The number pad, CLEAR, and ENTER buttons appear. The follow-
ing are SAM conventions for function assignment.
•
Assign a 0 to a discharge valve that will have a bailed nozzle attached to its hose. (Most com-
mon type of discharge.)
• Assign a 1 to all non-bailed discharges. (Monitors, turrets, etc.)
