4.0.1 OPERATOR STATIONS
The electric RC monitor has fi ve different styles of operator stations for use in various locations on the fi re truck or fi re ground.
The design of the operator station communications allows users to override commands on other stations. The “last” button pressed
has control. The overridden user can regain control by releasing his/her button and pressing again.
Platform and ladder electronics enclosures are pre-confi gured for one set of inputs to have a master override feature. The operator
station connected to these inputs, typically at the base of the ladder, will override any other operator station.
Any operator station with a communication board or connected to a communication board can be fi eld confi gured with the master
override feature. This allows the user to setup an operator station on the fi re truck or fi re ground as the master override station.
4.0.2 SETTING UP A MASTER OPERATING STATION
Any remote operator station or interface board can be re-confi gured to override
all other operator stations. These stations include the Y4E-RP, Y4E-RP-D,
Y4E-CT-##, Y4E-CT-##-D, Y4E-TS, Y4E-JS, YE-RF-##, YE-RF-##-D, or any
inputs connected to an interface box such as Y4E-COMM or ladder/platform
enclosures.
Note: A master station will override another master station.
To enable the master override feature, follow these steps:
1. Ensure power is OFF to the unit.
2. Remove lid from enclosure.
3. Locate confi guration DIP switches on circuit board.
4. Slide DIP switch #1 to the ON position for a master station.
5. Replace lid. Verify rubber seal is clean and undamaged. Verify that no
wires are caught between lid and box.

4.0.3 PARK FEATURE
The PARK position needs to be programmed during installation. The monitor needs to “fi nd” two (2) hard stops, one for each axis,
before the monitor can move to the PARK position. When programming, the fi rst two commands teach the monitor where to fi nd the
hard stops. This guarantees that the position is accurate. From that point, the programmer can program the move to the fi nal PARK
position.
During normal operation, each time the PARK button is pressed, the monitor moves the nozzle to the full straight stream position,
moves to each programmed hard stop, and then moves to the PARK position. While the monitor is performing the PARK feature,
pressing any button will stop the monitor. If the installer prefers to have the nozzle move to the full fog position during the PARK
pattern, see section 4.0.3.3.
RECOMMENDED PARK POSITION:
For truck mounted applications, it is recommended that the monitor be parked in a position
such that the monitor’s nozzle rests against a bracket or support surface. This will minimize bouncing of the nozzle when the
apparatus is traveling. Always be sure the monitor is properly parked before moving the truck and know the overall height to avoid
damage from overhead obstructions such as doors or bridges.
NOTE:
Depending on the manufactured date, it may be necessary to deploy the Extend-A-Gun in order to enter PARK programming
mode.
4.0.3.1 PROGRAMMING
PARK PROGRAMMING MUST BE INITIATED
WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF APPLYING POWER TO MONITOR.
After 1 minute, programming access is blocked. Power must then be cycled to reset 1 minute timer.
Press and hold PARK button (~10 seconds) until light blinks. Release button. Light will continue to blink while in program mode.
FIRST AXIS TO MOVE:
Press and release LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN button of axis that will move to fi rst hard stop. Light will blink rapidly when hard stop
is reached.
SECOND AXIS TO MOVE:
Press and release LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN button of axis that will move to second hard stop. Light will blink rapidly when hard
stop is reached.
MOVE TO PARK POSITION:
Press and hold the LEFT/RIGHT or UP/DOWN buttons to move monitor to fi rst point of park routine, press and release PARK button.
Light will blink rapidly to acknowledge position.
Repeat until pattern is complete (up to 10 points).
Press and hold PARK button until light turns off. Release button.
