5. 1 8494 Sidewinder Monitor Page 2 ll SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS A Sidewinder RF Monitor The Sidewinder RF Monitor is specially designed for use on off road or wild land fire fighting apparatus The Sidewinder RF is controlled from inside the cab through a wireless transmitter or by handheld transmitter so risk to firefighters is significantly reduced The Sidewinder RF features durable Elk O Lite construction combined with rugged stainless steel gears and motors that are completely enclosed and sealed for maximum protection from the elements The Sidewinder RF has a flow efficient 2 0 vaned waterway to minimize turbulence and provide superior fire streams Water supply is provided through the monitor base by 2 National Pipe Thread connection The discharge nozzle connection is a 11 2 National Hose Thread Nozzle stream direction is controlled by two permanent magnet type gear motors one controlling rotation about the axis of the water inlet and the other controlling nozzle elevation and depression An optional 2 0 electric valve kit is available to allow the user to control water flow directly from the Sidewinder RF control box This enables pump and roll functionality with complete control by the operator in the cab of the truck via wireless joystick control The electric valve can also be controlled using the optional handheld wireless transmitter B RF Receiver Control Module The monitor control
6. Monitor Control With the 81498001 Joystick Transmitter the monitor nozzle and valve are controlled with the joystick and accompanying switches Simply push and hold the joystick to move the monitor to the desired stream direction Release the joystick when the proper stream position is achieved The nozzle spray pattern is controlled using the rocker switch on the top of the joystick The controller provides an automatic left right speed adjustment to allow the user better directional control During normal operation the left right motor will move slowly for about two seconds before accelerating to full speed This allows the user to be able to position the monitor quickly but also gives the fine control needed to aim the monitor accurately at a distant target Any combination of left or right and up or down can be used simultaneously B Valve Control To flow water for short durations operate the valve with the trigger on the front of the joystick The valve will remain open as long as the trigger is squeezed When it is released the valve will close To continuously flow water simultaneously push the lock open pushbutton and squeeze the water valve trigger on the joy stick once the water valve starts moving the operator may release both switches and the valve will travel to the full open position To close the valve push and release either the lock open pushbutton or the water valve trigger on the joystick 2 81502001 Handheld Transmitter
7. The 8494 RF Monitor uses the standard Left Right Up Down and Fog Stream commands to provide stream direction and pattern adjustments The transmitter provides an automatic speed adjustment to allow the user better directional control During normal operation the left right motor will move slowly for about two seconds before accelerating to full speed This allows the user to be able to position the monitor quickly but also gives the fine control needed to aim the monitor accurately at a distant target To move the monitor left or right press and hold the left or right button until the monitor discharge is in the correct position The left right motor will begin to turn the monitor slowly and then accelerate to full speed after a couple of seconds If any of the up down or fog stream buttons are selected while the left right motion is in slow speed the left right motor will immediately go to high speed until the monitor stops moving The unit will revert to normal operation when the buttons are released 1 To move the monitor up or down press and hold the up or down button until the monitor is in the correct position or an electrical stop is reached 2 To adjust the stream pattern press and hold the fog or stream button until the desired stream pattern is reached Elkhart electric nozzles have a unique ball screw drive which when it reaches the end of travel will continue spinning until the button is released Page 16 Any combination of l
