A pumper equipped with an Eclipse
ES compressed air
foam unit can be operated in several pumping modes; wa-
ter only, foam solution without compressed air, com-
pressed air foam and compressed air only for support op-
eration such as operating air tools, filling rescue air bags,
etc. It is possible to pump water from one discharge, foam
solution from another discharge while pumping com-
pressed air foam from yet another, or varying foam con-
sistencies (expansion ratios) from different discharges
simultaneously.
NOTE: Monitor compressor instruments during all op-
erations.
Water Pumping Operations
All unit operations begin with pumping water. See the fol-
lowing instruction for details on how to operate and pump
water from your Waterous fire pump:
·
F-1031, Section 2117,
Operation and Maintenance In-
structions for Waterous S100 Series Centrifugal Fire
Pumps
or
·
F-1031, Section 2109.1,
Operation and Maintenance
Instructions for Waterous CX Series Centrifugal Fire
Pumps
For water only operations, the compressor switch should
be in the “OFF” position which disengages the air com-
pressor.
CAUTION
Overheating hazard.
May cause damage to the pump and/or compressor.
Running the unit without adequate water flow can
cause damage to the pump and/or the air compressor
system.

Foam Pump Operation (Optional)
Upon power up, the software revision number will be dis-
played. The unit will then display the flow rate.
Because the conductivity measurement for a given per-
centage mix changes with the flow rate, the calibration
data is stored in an array. The array holds entries for the
various parameters at several different flow rates that are
in between flow rates entered in the data array.
