3.3.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
For nozzle installation, refer to LIY-500 Remote Control (RC) Monitor Electrical Controls (shipped with TFT monitors or available at
tft.com).
WARNING
This device is not rated as ignition proof, explosion proof, or intrinsically safe. Use only in
locations with adequate ventilation and no hazard of
fl
ammable vapor buildup.
3.4 PATTERN CONTROL
TFT’s nozzles have full pattern control from straight stream to wide fog. Turning the stream shaper clockwise (as seen from the
operating position behind the nozzle) moves the shaper to the straight stream position. Turning the shaper counterclockwise will
result in an increasingly wider pattern.
Since the stream trim point varies with
fl
ow, the stream should be “trimmed” after changing the
fl
ow to obtain the straightest and
farthest reaching stream. To properly trim the stream,
fi
rst open the pattern to narrow fog. Then close the stream to parallel to give
maximum reach. Note: Turning the shaper further forward will cause stream crossover and reduce the e
ff
ective reach of the nozzle.
The nozzle reaction is greatest when the shaper is in the straight stream position. The nozzle operator must be prepared for a change
in reaction as the pattern is changed.
Care must be taken to avoid dents or nicks in the nozzle tip because they can seriously a
ff
ect the stream reach..
4.0 USE WITH FOAM
The nozzle may be used with foam solutions. Refer to
fi
re service training for the proper use of foam.
WARNING
For Class B
fi
res, lack of foam or interruption in the foam stream can cause a break in the foam
blanket and greatly increase the risk of injury or death. Follow procedures established by the AHJ
for the speci
fi
c fuel and conditions.
WARNING
Improper use of foam or using the wrong type of foam can result in illness, injury, or damage to
the environment. Follow foam manufacturer’s instructions and
fi
re service training as directed by
the AHJ.
