Installation and setup manual
WARNINGS
WARNING
USE ONLY UNIFIRE-APPROVED NOZZLES / NOZZLE TIPS.
The FORCE 50 was
designed for use with the Unifire INTEG 50 and Unifire Smooth Bore nozzles. Use of
any nozzle other than a Unifire nozzle made for the FORCE 50 without specific, written
approval in advance by Unifire AB constitutes misuse of the product and could affect
the safety, performance and/or operation of the robotic nozzle. Such malfunctions could
also result in the nozzle coming loose and being rapidly ejected with high force, which
could cause serious injury or even death.
WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE IN EXPLOSIVE ZONES OR ENVIRONMENTS!
The electric
motors and other components are potential ignition sources and could spark ignition if
used in explosive environments. The FORCE 50 is not approved for operation in explo-
sive environments and therefore it should never be used in such environments.
WARNING
DO NOT IMMERSE EQUIPMENT IN WATER
. Do not immerse the robotic nozzle,
its control box (the TARGA PLC) nor the joystick in water and be sure to keep water
out of their interiors. Unifire’s robotic nozzles, and joystick are designed to withstand
moderate exposure to rain and water splashing during normal use of the robotic nozzle.
Prolonged or extreme exposure to water, including submersion, however, will cause
damage and could also cause electrical shock resulting in injury.
The TARGA PLC must be installed protected form water and dust. IP67 rated enclosure
is optional.
WARNING
Do not use the electrical controls during operation of the emergency manual override
cranks as doing so could cause injury.
WARNING
ONLY USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE IN CASE OF TRUE EMERGENCY & POWER
FAILURE
. The manual override controls on the FORCE 50 are not designed for normal
operation and should only be used in the case of extreme emergency and when the re-
mote control feature is not working sufficiently to control the robotic nozzle by means of
the electronic controls. In case of use in such an emergency, first disconnect the cables
from the motor connections. !!
WARNING
DISCONNECT POWER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR.
Prior to installation, maintenance or repair be sure to disconnect power and disable
flow.
