INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The following is intended to provide the basic instructions for installation, operating and maintenance of the Omega XPV
TM
Monitor. Read and understand
these operating instructions before use.
PRODUCT RATINGS:
Maximum Flow:
1250 gpm (4800 lpm)
Maximum Pressure: 200 psi (1400 kpa)
PRODUCTWARNINGS:
The reaction force when flowing at the maximum pressure and flow listed above is 900 pounds. The center of the
waterway is 18 ½ inches from the bottom of the inlet flange. Ensure these values plus an appropriate safety factor are used to determine a proper sup-
port structure.
WARNING:
INSUFFICIENT STRUCTURAL SUPPORT CAN LEAD TO FAILURE, WHICH HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE
AN INJURY. THEREFORE, ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AT THE INLET FLANGE MAY BE
REQUIRED. NO SUPPORT STRUCTURE IS TO BE ADDED DIRECTLY TO THE MONITOR. (Contact
Akron Brass Customer Service for assistance.)
WARNING:
Charge the unit slowly. Rapid charging may cause a pressure surge which has the potential to cause an
injury or damage the monitor.
WARNING:
Aim the unit in a safe direction before pumping water through it.
WARNING:
DO NOT exceed the maximum pressure or flow ratings of the monitor. Exceeding these ratings has the
potential to cause an injury or damage the monitor.
WARNING:
DO NOT install shutoffs on the outlet of the monitor. Shutoffs increase the potential for pressure surges
due to water hammer, which have the potential to cause injury or damage the monitor.
WARNING:
DO NOT install this monitor in locations where freezing conditions may occur. Water freezing anywhere
within the monitor can cause severe damage to the monitor and may result in injury if the monitor is
operated at a later time.
WARNING:
Ensure the thread on the nozzle swivel matches the thread on the monitor outlet. Do not over tighten the
nozzle onto the unit.
MONITOR ATTACHMENT:
The monitor is to be mounted on the waterway with eight 5/8 inch bolts and nuts of grade five minimum and suitable washers when mounting to a four
inch flange. When mounting to a three inch flange, only four bolts, nuts and washers are required.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The tiller bar and the upper and lower brake knobs are used to control the monitor. To change the horizontal monitor position toward the “RIGHT” or
“LEFT”, get a firm grip on the tiller bar handle and turn the lower brake knob counterclockwise until the unit can be easily rotated. Turn the same knob
clockwise to lock the unit in the desired horizontal position. To change the vertical monitor position upward or downward, get a firm grip
on the tiller bar handle and turn the upper brake knob counterclockwise until the unit can be easily elevated or lowered. Turn the same knob clockwise to
lock the unit in the desired elevation position.
The Omega XPV
TM
Monitor incorporates a ball valve shutoff. To open this valve move the handle so that is parallel to the waterway. To close the valve,
move the handle so that it is perpendicular to the waterway.
