5.10.2.1 LADDER INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL WIRING
The electronics enclosure converts discrete input signals into serial communications for controlling
the monitor. The discrete input signals can be from a joystick, toggle switches, relay contacts or
Canbus output module. The electronic interface a12/24 VDC signals, but can be field
changed to accept ground signals.
The electronics enclosure is configured so that signals connected to the PRIMARY CONTROL cable
will override any other operator stations (see section 6.2.1).
See Figure 5.10.2.1 for wiring connections.

5.11 ELECTRIC NOZZLE ACTUATOR WIRING
The electric Tornado RC monitor is designed to control and is factory wired for a TFT electric actuated nozzle. Task Force Tips nozzles
are available with a male cord plug. After mounting the appropriate nozzle onto the monitor, plug the male cord from the nozzle into the
female cord located on the outlet of the monitor. Make sure the two coupling nuts are tightened securely to ensure a proper watertight
seal.
If retrofitting an existing TFT nozzle, a male cord plug (TFT #Y5285) can be purchased and installed in place of the existing actuator
cord. Please consult factory for installation.
