3.2.10 MONITOR DEPLOY FEATURE

This feature available through YE-CAN1 Multiplex Interface Control, Y4E-JS Joystick Operator Station, Y4E-RP-D Panel Mount 
Operator Station with Display, Y4E-CT-##-D Tether Operator Station with Display, and YE-RF-##-D Wireless Operator Station with 
Display, will move the RC monitor horizontal & vertical axes to a predetermined position. This feature is useful to quickly move the 
monitor from a PARK position into an attack position, ready for water fl ow. Initiating a DEPLOY movement will command each axis 
to 50% of their overall travel limits.

IMPORTANT    

Review these sections and decide on locations before starting installation process.

4.0 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

The electric RC monitor is supplied with a monitor mounted operator station.  The wiring on the monitor and for this operator station 
is factory installed. The assembly is supplied with a cable for connection to the operator control stations as shown in Figure 4.0 or 
directly to a protected voltage supply. This cable has 4-conductors which supply power and the communications from the operator 
stations to the monitor. To complete the installation, the installer will need to mount and wire the selected operator stations. The 
power supply for the monitor will need to be connected to a protected circuit from the truck’s power distribution center. Refer to the 
specifi cations section 3.1 for nominal current draw.

For installations where the customer would like to turn off the voltage to the monitor independent of the truck master switch, the 
installer needs to install a SPST (single-pole single-throw) toggle switch. Install this toggle switch in a location that can quickly be 
accessed before using the RC monitor. The toggle switch needs to be wired between the protected voltage supply and the red wire 
feeding the RC monitor.

NOTICE

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE PRACTICES

• Disconnect power before installing or servicing the electrical components to avoid electrical shock hazard or injury due to moving 

parts.

• Provide adequate power supply for all electrical controls and motors taking into account voltage drops on wiring. See section 3.1 

for electrical specifi cations.

• Careful selection of wiring is critical to avoid excessive voltage drop.

• Good mechanical connections on the wires are absolutely necessary and should be checked periodically. Poor electrical 

connections can cause power loss to the electric RC monitor and be a fi re hazard.

• Be careful to route cables and controls in protected areas away from high heat sources.

• Use grommets whenever wires pass through holes to prevent damage due to snags, abrasions, etc.

• Secure cables close to control box with plastic wire ties or cable clamps to relieve stress on the cables.

• Observe precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices when installing or servicing controls. Touch fi ngers to bare metal surface 

before handling control boards to dissipate static electricity.

• Make sure that all control covers and gaskets are restored to their original condition after installation or servicing to maintain 

weather tight seal.

Recommended Tool List - 

11/32” nut driver - Wire cutter/stripper - Terminal crimping tool - Utility knife - 20mm open-end box wrench 

- 17mm open-end box wrench - 5/32” drill bit - 25/32” drill bit - #2 Phillips screwdriver - Small fl at blade screwdriver

IMPORTANT

 - When mechanical installation and electrical connections are complete, perform the following test to verify voltage 

supply is adequate and the current limiting feature is functioning.

1) Apply power to monitor control box.

2) Press LEFT or RIGHT button and hold until monitor reaches its stop position.  Continue to hold button down.

3) Once movement is stopped, manually turn override knob in opposite direction while continuing to hold button down.  If knob can 
be turned, then voltage supply is adequate.  If knob cannot be turned and motor continues to operate, then the voltage supply or 
wiring is not adequate.  Check connections and voltage connection point, rewire if necessary.  

NOTE:  Override knob will only 

turn in one direction.
