ROTARY GEAR PUMPELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM

Section ΙΙΙΙΙ: Description

SAFETYHale FoamMaster systems are designed to provide reliable and safe foam concentrateinjection. Before installing or operating a Hale FoamMaster system read all safetyprecautions and follow carefully to ensure proper installation and personnel safety.

WARNINGS1. Do not permanently remove or alter any

guard or insulating devices or attempt tooperate the system when these guardsare temporarily removed.

2. To prevent electrical shock alwaysdisconnect the primary power sourcebefore attempting to service any part ofthe Hale FoamMaster system.

3. All electrical systems have the potentialto cause sparks during service. Takecare to eliminate explosive or hazardousenvironments during service/repair.

4. To prevent system damage or electricalshock the main power supply wire will bethe last connection made to the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

5. Release all pressure then drain allconcentrate and water from the systembefore servicing any of its componentparts.

6. Rotating drive line components cancause injury. When working oncomponents of the Hale FoamMastersystem be careful of rotatingcomponents.

CAUTIONS1. Foam tank low level sensors must be

utilized to protect the Hale FoamMasterfrom dry running. Failure to use low levelsensors with the Hale FoamMastersystem will void warranty.

2. Do not operate system at pressureshigher than the maximum ratedpressure.

3. Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from thefoam pump outlet to the injector fitting,which are rated at or above themaximum pressure rating at which thewater pump system operates.

4. Hale FoamMaster systems are designedfor use on negative ground directcurrent electrical systems only.

5. Do not mount radio transmitter ortransmitter cables in direct or closecontact with the Hale FoamMaster unit.

6. Before connecting the cordsets inspectthe seal washer in the femaleconnector. If the seal washer is missingor damaged, water can enter theconnector causing corrosion of the pinsand terminals resulting in possible systemfailure.

7. Always disconnect the power cable,ground straps, electrical wires andcontrol cables from the control unit orother Hale FoamMaster equipmentbefore electric arc welding at any pointon the apparatus. Failure to do so couldresult in a power surge through the unitthat could cause irreparable damage.

8. DO NOT connect the main power leadto small leads that are supplying someother device such as a light bar or siren.The Hale FoamMaster Model 3.3 andModel 5.0 require 60 AMP minimumcurrent. The Hale FoamMaster Model3.0 requires 40 AMP minimum current.Use correct gauge wire as specified.

9. When operating the Hale FoamMaster inSimulated Flow mode an outlet for thefoam concentrate must be provided toprevent excessive pressure buildup indischarge piping or hoses.

10. Unless engaged in Class B foamoperations, the Hale FoamMaster ADTtoggle switch or Hale FoamMaster MDT IIselector handle must be in the TANK Aposition. If the toggle switch or selectorhandle is in the FLUSH position when theHale FoamMaster foam pump is startedthe foam pump will only run for 20seconds and shut down.

ROTARY GEAR PUMPELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM

11. Make sure the foam tank and foamconcentrate suction hoses are cleanbefore making final connection to foampump. If necessary flush tank and hosesprior to making connection.

NOTES1. Check all hoses for weak or worn

conditions after each use. Ensure thatall connections and fittings are tight andsecure.

2. Ensure that the electrical source ofpower for the unit is a negative groundDC system, of correct input voltage, witha reserve minimum current available todrive Hale FoamMaster system.

3. The in-line strainer/valve assembly is alow pressure device and WILL NOTwithstand flushing water pressure. Wheninstalling the in-line strainer in systemsequipped with Hale MDT ΙΙ or Hale MSTmake sure the in-line strainer/valveassembly is in the hose on the inlet sideof the valve. If the strainer will besubject to flushing water pressure, useHale FS series strainers.

4. When determining the location of HaleFoamMaster components keep in mindpiping runs, cable routing and otherinterferences that will hinder or interferewith proper system performance.

5. The Hale HPF flowsensor is assembledand tested at the factory. Removal ofthe flow sensor from the tee is notnecessary or recommended forinstallation in the system.

6. Always position the check valve/injectorfitting at a horizontal or higher angle toallow water to drain away from thefitting. This will avoid sediment depositsor the formation of an ice plug.

7. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% electricallyshielded assemblies. Never attempt toshorten or lengthen the molded cables.If necessary order longer or shortercordsets from Hale Products to suit theparticular installation.

8. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are indexed so they

only go in the correct receptacle andthey can only go in one way. Whenmaking cordset connections DO NOTforce mismatched connections asdamage can result in improper systemoperation.

9. The system can only perform when theelectrical connections are sound, somake sure each one is correct.

10. The cables shipped with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% tested atthe factory with that unit. Improperhandling and forcing connections candamage these cables which could resultin other system damage.

11. There are no user servicable parts insideHale FoamMaster system electrical/electronic components. Opening ofthese components (distribution box,control unit, foam discharge multiplexingdisplay unit) will void warranty.

12. Use mounting hardware that iscompatible with all foam concentratesto be used in the system. Use washers,lockwashers and capscrews made ofbrass or 300 series stainless steel.

13. When making wire connections makesure they are properly insulated andsealed using an adhesive filled heatshrink tubing.

14. Before running wires from the low tankswitches to the A-B switch box make surethe wire from Tank A is identified andproperly labeled.

15. ALWAYS connect the primary positivepower lead from the terminal block tothe master switch terminal or the positivebattery terminal using minimum 4 AWGtype SGX (SAE J1127) chemical resistantbattery cable and protect with wireloom.

16. Prevent corrosion of power and groundconnections by sealing theseconnections with silicone sealantprovided.

17. Prevent possible short circuit by using therubber boot provided to insulate theprimary power connection at the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

Section ΙΙΙΙΙ: Description

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONbutton while the system is operating. Thecontrol unit display also warns the operatorwhen errors or abnormal operations occurin the system.

Foam concentrate injection rate iscontrolled by an Intel® computer chip in thecontrol unit for accurate, repeatable,reliable foam concentrate injection. Awater flowsensor constantly monitors waterflow through the discharge piping. Theinformation from the flowsensor is providedto the control unit by a shielded cable.When the Hale FoamMaster system isactivated at the control unit a signal is sentfrom the control unit through the shieldedcontrol cable to the distribution box tobegin foam concentrate injection. Thedistribution box then provides power to theelectric motor. As the motor rotates thepump, foam concentrate flows through thefoam pump discharge to the one piececheck valve/injector fitting into the waterdischarge stream.

A feedback sensor in the foam pump bodymeasures foam concentrate flow. Thewater flow rate and foam concentrate flowrate are constantly compared by thecomputer chip in the control unit. Themotor speed is constantly adjusted tomaintain the operator selected foamconcentrate injection rate. Since thesystem is flow based, injection rate remainsconstant regardless of changes in systempressure or the number of discharges open.

There are three models of Hale FoamMastersystems covered by this manual. The HaleFoamMaster Model 3.0, Model 3.3 andModel 5.0. The maximum rated foamconcentrate flow in gallons per minute isdenoted by the model number. Table 1shows system capacities at various foamconcentrate injection rates for the differentHale FoamMaster Models.

Hale FoamMaster foam proportioningsystems are completely engineered, factorymatched foam proportioning systems thatprovide reliable, consistent foamconcentrate injection for Class A and ClassB foam operations. Hale FoamMastersystems accurately deliver from 0.1% to10.0% foam concentrate through a checkvalve/injector fitting directly into the waterdischarge stream. It is then fed as foamsolution into a standard fog nozzle, an airaspirated nozzle, or CAFS equipment,through the apparatus discharge piping. Aproperly configured and installed HaleFoamMaster system with Halerecommended components virtuallyeliminates contamination of the boostertank, fire pump and relief valve with foamconcentrate.

The heart of the Hale FoamMaster system isan electric motor driven rotary gear pump.The pump is constructed of bronze andstainless steel and is compatible with almostall foam concentrates. The pump is closecoupled to the electric motor therebyeliminating maintenance of an oil filledgearbox. An internal relief valve,constructed of stainless steel, protects thefoam pump and foam concentratedischarge hoses from overpressurizationand damage.

The control unit, mounted on the operatorpanel, is the single control point for the HaleFoamMaster system. Depressing the ONbutton starts foam concentrate injection. Asuper brite digital LED display shows thewater flow rate, total water flowed, foamconcentrate injection percentage andtotal foam concentrate used depending onthe display mode selected. A bargraph onthe control unit provides indication of theapproximate system capacity being used.Adjustment of foam concentrate injectionrate can be accomplished by pushing a

ROTARY GEAR PUMPELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM

Hale FoamMaster systems can beconfigured to operate with single or dualfoam concentrate tanks. Examples of thevarious Hale FoamMaster systemconfigurations are shown in figures 1-1through 1-6 at the end of this section.

The available Air Dual Tank (ADT) valve forthe Hale FoamMaster system is an airoperated foam tank selector valve thatprovides selection of foam concentratedependent on fire ground operationaldemands. The ADT is an integral part of thefoam pump and provides an electricalinterlock for the low tank level sensors andconcentrate injection rate. A panelmounted selector toggle switch withindicator lights controls foam concentratetank selection and shows which foamconcentrate tank is in use.

The Manual Dual Tank (MDT ΙΙ) selectorvalve is available for the Hale FoamMastersystems with dual tanks. The MDT ΙΙ is apanel mounted manually operated selectorthat provides selection of foamconcentrate dependent on fire groundoperational demands. The MDT ΙΙ alsoprovides an electrical interlock for the lowtank level sensors and concentrate injectionrate. It should be noted that the MDT ΙΙ isnot suitable for top mount operator panelinstallations and some side operator panelsdue to gravity feed requirements of foamconcentrate.

Selection of the desired foam concentratetank with the ADT panel mounted toggleswitch or MDT ΙΙ selector will automaticallychange the foam concentrate injectionrate to the preset default rate for theselected foam tank. No further operatorintervention is required.

Single tank Hale FoamMaster systems canbe configured with a Manual Single Tank(MST) selector which provides a flushfunction connection to the HaleFoamMaster electronic controls.

The ADT, MDT ΙΙ and MST all provide thecheck valves and connection points toprovide foam pump flushing capabilities.

Strainers available for Hale FoamMastersystems protect the foam pump from debristhat might accumulate in the foamconcentrate tank. The standard in-linestrainer/valve assembly has a compositenon-metallic housing with stainless steelmesh strainer element. It is provided with aservice shutoff valve, mounting bracket andfittings for connection of either 1 inch (25mm) ID or ¾ inch (19 mm) ID foamconcentrate suction hose. The in-linestrainer/valve assembly is suitable for usewith both Class A and Class B foamconcentrates. The in-line strainer/valveassembly is designed for installations wherethe strainer is mounted in the foam pumpsuction line and IS NOT subject to flushingwater pressure.

Hale FS series strainers are panel mountedstrainers with a 500 PSIG (34 BAR) pressurerating suitable for use where flushing waterpressure will go through the strainer. TheFS15 strainer has ¾ inch NPT connectionports and a 1-½ inch NST cap and is suitablefor use with Class A and low viscosity Class Bfoam concentrates. The FS25 strainer has 1inch NPT connection ports and a 2-½ inchNST cap and is suitable for use with bothClass A and Class B foam concentrates.

Section ΙΙΙΙΙ: Description

All Hale FoamMaster systems require at leastone flowsensor for operation. Some systemsmay be designed to operate using multipleflowsensors for a wide range of dischargeflows. When 2 or more flowsensors (up toeight) are installed on an apparatusequipped with a Hale FoamMaster system,Foam Discharge Multiplexing Display Unitsmust be installed. Each multiplexing unitreceives a signal from an individualflowsensor and provides a constant digitalreadout of flow in the monitored discharge.The multiplexing units are interconnectedand the final unit is connected to thecontrol unit. The control unit provides adigital readout of the total flow in allflowsensor monitored discharges.Additionally, a pressure transducermounted in the discharge piping provides asignal that is shown on the multiplexing unitbargraph as the discharge pressure. A pushbutton on the multiplexing unit gives adigital readout of the discharge pressure.The multiplexing unit is used on the operatorpanel instead of analog line pressuregauges.

Ordering of Hale FoamMaster systems issimple. Using the current Hale FoamMasterSystem Price List and Order Form helpsensure a complete matched system isprovided to the end user. Use the followingprocedure when ordering a HaleFoamMaster system:

1. Determine the type of foamconcentrate to be used in the systemand ensure system compatibility byreferring to the Hale FoamMasterConcentrate Compatibility list (Bulletin#650).

ROTARY GEAR PUMPELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM

Section ΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙ : Installation

SAFETYHale FoamMaster systems are designed to provide reliable and safe foam concentrateinjection. Before installing or operating a Hale FoamMaster system read all safetyprecautions and follow carefully to ensure proper installation and personnel safety.

WARNINGS1. Do not permanently remove or alter any

guard or insulating devices or attempt tooperate the system when these guardsare temporarily removed.

2. To prevent electrical shock alwaysdisconnect the primary power sourcebefore attempting to service any part ofthe Hale FoamMaster system.

3. All electrical systems have the potentialto cause sparks during service. Takecare to eliminate explosive or hazardousenvironments during service/repair.

4. To prevent system damage or electricalshock the main power supply wire will bethe last connection made to the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

5. Release all pressure then drain allconcentrate and water from the systembefore servicing any of its componentparts.

6. Rotating drive line components cancause injury. When working oncomponents of the Hale FoamMastersystem be careful of rotatingcomponents.

CAUTIONS1. Foam tank low level sensors must be

utilized to protect the Hale FoamMasterfrom dry running. Failure to use low levelsensors with the Hale FoamMastersystem will void warranty.

2. Do not operate system at pressureshigher than the maximum ratedpressure.

3. Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from thefoam pump outlet to the injector fitting,which are rated at or above themaximum pressure rating at which thewater pump system operates.

4. Hale FoamMaster systems are designedfor use on negative ground directcurrent electrical systems only.

5. Do not mount radio transmitter ortransmitter cables in direct or closecontact with the Hale FoamMaster unit.

6. Before connecting the cordsets inspectthe seal washer in the femaleconnector. If the seal washer is missingor damaged, water can enter theconnector causing corrosion of the pinsand terminals resulting in possible systemfailure.

7. Always disconnect the power cable,ground straps, electrical wires andcontrol cables from the control unit orother Hale FoamMaster equipmentbefore electric arc welding at any pointon the apparatus. Failure to do so couldresult in a power surge through the unitthat could cause irreparable damage.

8. DO NOT connect the main power leadto small leads that are supplying someother device such as a light bar or siren.The Hale FoamMaster Model 3.3 andModel 5.0 require 60 AMP minimumcurrent. The Hale FoamMaster Model3.0 requires 40 AMP minimum current.Use correct gauge wire as specified.

9. When operating the Hale FoamMaster inSimulated Flow mode an outlet for thefoam concentrate must be provided toprevent excessive pressure buildup indischarge piping or hoses.

10. Unless engaged in Class B foamoperations, the Hale FoamMaster ADTtoggle switch or Hale FoamMaster MDT IIselector handle must be in the TANK Aposition. If the toggle switch or selectorhandle is in the FLUSH position when theHale FoamMaster foam pump is startedthe foam pump will only run for 20seconds and shut down.

Page 29: ROTARY GEAR PUMP ELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING … · ROTARY GEAR PUMP ELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM 11. Make sure the foam tank and foam concentrate suction hoses are clean

ΙΙ -2

ROTARY GEAR PUMPELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM

Section ΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙ : Installation

11. Make sure the foam tank and foamconcentrate suction hoses are cleanbefore making final connection to foampump. If necessary flush tank and hosesprior to making connection.

NOTES1. Check all hoses for weak or worn

conditions after each use. Ensure thatall connections and fittings are tight andsecure.

2. Ensure that the electrical source ofpower for the unit is a negative groundDC system, of correct input voltage, witha reserve minimum current available todrive Hale FoamMaster system.

3. The in-line strainer/valve assembly is alow pressure device and WILL NOTwithstand flushing water pressure. Wheninstalling the in-line strainer in systemsequipped with Hale MDT ΙΙ or Hale MSTmake sure the in-line strainer/valveassembly is in the hose on the inlet sideof the valve. If the strainer will besubject to flushing water pressure, useHale FS series strainers.

4. When determining the location of HaleFoamMaster components keep in mindpiping runs, cable routing and otherinterferences that will hinder or interferewith proper system performance.

5. The Hale HPF flowsensor is assembledand tested at the factory. Removal ofthe flow sensor from the tee is notnecessary or recommended forinstallation in the system.

6. Always position the check valve/injectorfitting at a horizontal or higher angle toallow water to drain away from thefitting. This will avoid sediment depositsor the formation of an ice plug.

7. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% electricallyshielded assemblies. Never attempt toshorten or lengthen the molded cables.If necessary order longer or shortercordsets from Hale Products to suit theparticular installation.

8. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are indexed so they

only go in the correct receptacle andthey can only go in one way. Whenmaking cordset connections DO NOTforce mismatched connections asdamage can result in improper systemoperation.

9. The system can only perform when theelectrical connections are sound, somake sure each one is correct.

10. The cables shipped with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% tested atthe factory with that unit. Improperhandling and forcing connections candamage these cables which could resultin other system damage.

11. There are no user servicable parts insideHale FoamMaster system electrical/electronic components. Opening ofthese components (distribution box,control unit, foam discharge multiplexingdisplay unit) will void warranty.

12. Use mounting hardware that iscompatible with all foam concentratesto be used in the system. Use washers,lockwashers and capscrews made ofbrass or 300 series stainless steel.

13. When making wire connections makesure they are properly insulated andsealed using an adhesive filled heatshrink tubing.

14. Before running wires from the low tankswitches to the A-B switch box make surethe wire from Tank A is identified andproperly labeled.

15. ALWAYS connect the primary positivepower lead from the terminal block tothe master switch terminal or the positivebattery terminal using minimum 4 AWGtype SGX (SAE J1127) chemical resistantbattery cable and protect with wireloom.

16. Prevent corrosion of power and groundconnections by sealing theseconnections with silicone sealantprovided.

17. Prevent possible short circuit by using therubber boot provided to insulate theprimary power connection at the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

IMPORTANT: When determining thelocations of Hale FoamMastercomponents being installed keep inmind piping runs, cable routing andother interferences that will hinder orinterfere with proper systemperformance.

FOAM PUMP and MOTOR ASSEMBLY: Ideallythe foam pump and motor assembly shouldbe located in an area that is protectedfrom road debris and excessive heatbuildup. The foam system master powerswitch and bypass valve are located on thefoam pump and motor assembly andaccess to these controls must be provided.It is recommended that the foam pumpand motor assembly be located in aprotected area but, foam concentrategravity feed requirements or apparatusdesign limitations may necessitate locatingthe foam pump and motor assembly on ashelf in the apparatus pump house orattached to the apparatus frame. Themotor and electrical components aredesigned to withstand the harshenvironment encountered in an emergencyapparatus environment.

Differences in apparatus plumbing andfoam system configuration make itimpractical to show exactly how each HaleFoamMaster system is installed on aparticular apparatus. The informationcontained in this section, however, willapply to most situations and should be usedwhen designing and installing a HaleFoamMaster system. System plumbing andelectrical diagrams are provided at the endof this installation section to assist theapparatus manufacturer with installation ofthe Hale FoamMaster system.

The following subsections provide thesystem installer with guidelines for acomplete system installation. Beforeproceeding with system installation carefullyreview the procedures that follow to ensurethe system is properly designed. Thesubsection titled Installer SuppliedComponent Recommendations lists thosecomponents that have been tested withHale FoamMaster and provide the bestsystem performance. Use of therecommended materials and specifiedparts will ensure a virtually maintenancefree installation.

The Hale FoamMaster system is suppliedwith six major components that must belocated on the apparatus. The majorcomponents of the Hale FoamMastersystem are:

ROTARY GEAR PUMPELECTRONIC FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM

Section ΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙ : Installation

The foam pump and motor assembly shouldbe mounted below the discharge of thefoam tank(s) to provide for gravity feed tothe foam pump. The foam tank(s) must belocated where refilling can be easily donewith 5 gallon (19 liter) pails and othermethods suitable to the end user. Mostwater tank manufacturers will build foamtanks into the booster tank. Whenspecifying foam tank(s) make sureprovisions are made for installation of thelow tank level sensor as well as foam suctionconnections, tank drainage and proper fillopenings per NFPA requirements.

FOAM CONCENTRATE STRAINER: Determinea location on the apparatus to mount thefoam strainer.

CAUTION: The in-line strainer/valveassembly is a low pressure device andWILL NOT withstand flushing waterpressure. When installing the in-linestrainer in systems equipped with HaleMDT ΙΙ or Hale MST make sure the in-linestrainer/valve assembly is in the hose onthe inlet side of the valve. If the strainerwill be subject to flushing water pressure,use Hale FS series strainers.

Mount the in-line foam strainer/valveassembly in the foam concentrate hosefrom the foam tank to the foam pumpsuction connection, ADT, MDT ΙΙ or MST.When determining the strainer locationkeep in mind the requirement for gravityfeed of foam concentrate to the foam

pump through the strainer and avoid airtraps in the hoses. Also, clearance must beprovided to allow removal of the bowlassembly for cleaning the stainless steelmesh, to make hose connections to thestrainer and for operation of the servicevalve.

If panel mounted FS series strainers areinstalled mount the strainer in the foamconcentrate hose that suppliesconcentrate to the ADT, MDT ΙΙ or MST. TheFS series strainer may also be mounted inthe outlet hose of the MDT ΙΙ or MST. Whendetermining strainer location on theoperator panel keep in mind therequirement for gravity feed of foamconcentrate to the foam pump through thestrainer and avoid air traps in the hoses.Clearance must be provided behind thepanel to allow for hose connections to thestrainer. The installer must provide a strainerservice isolation valve in the foamconcentrate hose to prevent spillage duringservice. An MST or MDT ΙΙ can serve thispurpose also.

CONTROL UNIT and INSTRUCTION/SYSTEMDIAGRAM PLACARD: Determine a locationon the operator panel of the apparatus forthe control unit and instruction/systemdiagram placard. These components mustbe located at the main pump operatorposition in close proximity to each other.Consideration must be given for routing thecontrol cable from the control unit to thedistribution box on the foam pump andmotor assembly.

INSTALLER SUPPLIED COMPONENTRECOMMENDATIONS

Due to the many differences in apparatusconfiguration and apparatus designrequirements the Hale FoamMaster systeminstaller must supply components such asmounting brackets, piping, hoses, fittingsand some electrical wiring. The followingguidelines are recommendations forselection of these additional componentsfor a complete system installation. Therecommendations made reflect thosematerials and components that have beentested extensively with Hale FoamMastersystems and provide proven reliableperformance.

FOAM CONCENTRATE SUCTION HOSEThe system installer must supply fittings andhoses from the foam tank to the inlet of thefoam pump. All components selected willtransfer foam concentrate therefore theymust be compatible with the foamconcentrates being used in the system.Hoses for Class A foam concentrates musthave minimum ¾ inch (19 mm) insidediameter. Hoses for Class B foamconcentrates must have minimum 1 inch(25 mm) inside diameter due to higherviscosity of the concentrates.

Hoses for the foam concentrate suctionthat WILL NOT be subjected to high pressuresuch as flushing water and foamconcentrate discharge must have a ratingof 23 in (584.2 mm) Hg vacuum and 50 PSI(3 BAR) pressure or greater. These hosesinclude the hose from the foam tank outletto strainer inlet; strainer outlet to foampump, ADT, MDT ΙΙ or MST inlet.

NFPA requires that foam concentratesuction hose be clear to observe foamconcentrate flow during foam pumpoperation.

RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS:Hose: PVC, Kuriyama Kuri-Tec K7130

seriesFittings: Hose Barb Type; Brass, Stainless

Steel or Nylon

When foam concentrate suction hose willbe subject to flushing water pressure it mustbe rated for 23 in (584.2 mm) Hg vacuumand the maximum discharge pressure of thefire pump [500 PSI (34 BAR) minimum].These hoses include the hose from theoutlet of the MDT ΙΙ or MST to the foampump inlet.

RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS:Hose: Aeroquip 2580 Series or Equivalent

Reinforced Hydraulic Hose.Fittings: Brass or Stainless Steel Hose End

Crimp or Reusable Type (Aeroquip412 Series or Equivalent)

A foam tank shut-off valve and drain valveshould be provided in the foam tank suctionhose to allow strainer service, tank drainageand easier priming. These components aresubject to the same material characteristicsand pressure ratings as stated above.When the In-line strainer/valve assemblyoption is installed the shut-off valve isincluded as an integral part of the assemblyand a separate valve is not required.

FOAM CONCENTRATE DISCHARGE HOSEThe system installer must supply fittings andhoses from the foam pump injectconnection to the check valve/injectorfitting inlet. All components selected willtransfer foam concentrate therefore theymust be compatible with the foamconcentrates being used in the system.

Section ΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙ : Installation

The foam pump discharge port and checkvalve injector fitting connection port have½ inch NPT threads. Hoses and fittings of ½inch (13 mm) minimum inside diameterrated at 500 PSI (34 BAR) working pressure ormaximum discharge pressure of the firepump must be used. Fittings and hosesmust be compatible with all foam agents tobe used.

RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS:Hose: Aeroquip 2580-10 or Equivalent

Reinforced Hydraulic Hose.Fittings: Brass or Stainless Steel Hose End

Crimp or Reusable Type (Aeroquip412-9-10 or Equivalent)

Although air brake tubing has been used forfoam concentrate discharge hose, it is notas flexible as the hydraulic hose and readilykinks during installation. Additionally, the airbrake tubing may not meet NFPA 500 PSI(34 BAR) test requirements.

FOAM CONCENTRATE BYPASS HOSEThe foam concentrate bypass hoseconnection has ½ inch NPT threads. Hosesand fittings of ½ inch (13 mm) minimuminside diameter should be used as bypasshose. Since the bypass hose is used forcalibration and draining the system it willnot see high operating pressures, therefore,a hose with a lower pressure rating than theinject hose can be used. Fittings and hosesused must be compatible with all foamagents expected to be used. Use fittingsmade of brass or 300 series stainless steelcompatible with all foam concentrates tobe used.

RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS:Hose: Low Pressure Hydraulic Hose or Air

Brake TubingFittings: Brass or Stainless Steel

The foam concentrate bypass hose shouldbe long enough to extend past theapparatus running board making foampump setup and calibration simpler.

CHECK VALVESCheck valves must be installed onapparatus with foam systems to preventcontamination of the foam concentratewith water and contamination of the freshwater tank with foam. (Refer to figures 1-1through 1-5) When a Hale FoamMasterfoam injection system and relatedcomponents are properly installed therequired check valves are integral parts ofthe component parts.

NFPA standards require a check valve inthe foam concentrate injection line at theinjection point. The foam concentratecheck valve shall have a 4 to 5 PSI (0.28 to0.34 BAR) cracking pressure to preventfoam concentrate siphoning from the foamconcentrate tank due to static headpressure. The check valve shall be rated for500 PSIG (34 BAR) water pump dischargepressure. The Hale P/N 038-1790-00-0Integral Check Valve/Injector fitting, astandard component included with theHale FoamMaster system, meets theserequirements and threads directly into thefoam injection port on Hale manifolds.

Check valves must be installed in all waterpiping locations where foam concentratecould drain back into pumps or othercomponents of the fire apparatus. As aminimum one check valve must be installedwhere the water piping that will supplyfoam solution connects to the fire pumpdischarge. To more effectively keep foamcontamination out of the fire pump andwater tank double check valves should beused. Separate two check valves by atleast 8 inches (203 mm) of piping to form adead zonebetween the check valves.Individual drain lines should be used oneach check valve. The waterway checkvalves must be rated for 500 PSIG (34 BAR)working pressure.

Hale 3 inch "115" flange type check valves(Hale P/N 038-1570-00-0) can be used formost installations on pumps with "115" style

flanges. The Hale "115" flange type checkvalve has a 4-3/8 inch bolt circle that fitsstandard Hale "115" flanges as well as 4-3/8

inch bolt circle discharge flanges on otherpumps. These check valves are rated forpressures up to 500 PSI (34 BAR) and flowsup to 750 GPM (2839 LPM). Use 2-½ or 3inch NPT threaded "115" flanges formounting these check valves in piping runs.

Some installations may require higher flowsand larger diameter piping. Use a Hale 4inch 2433 flange type check valve (HaleP/N 038-1570-04-0) for these installations.This check valve has an 8 bolt, 5-¾ inch boltcircle and will fit pump discharge openingsand flanges that have this configuration.The Hale 2433 check valve has a pressurerating of 500 PSI (34 BAR) and a flow ratingof 1250 GPM (4731 LPM). The Hale 2433style flange (Hale P/N 115-0040-00-0) has an8 bolt, 5-¾ inch bolt circle and 4 inch NPTthreads for in-line mounting of the 4 inchcheck valve.

FLUSHING WATER HOSEFlush water connections for the Hale ADT,Hale FoamMaster MDT ΙΙ or Hale MST mustbe made using ½ inch inside diametertubing and appropriate fittings. The tubingand fittings used must be capable ofwithstanding the maximum fire pumpdischarge pressure (500 PSI (34 BAR)minimum) and should be compatible withfoam concentrates being used in thesystem.

When the Hale ADT, Hale FoamMaster MDTΙΙ or Hale MST is installed a check valve isprovided integral to the flushing water lineconnection to provide protection againstcontamination of the water system withfoam concentrate.

Hale recommends the use of one of theabove selector options to provide foamsystem flushing capabilities, but if the HaleFoamMaster system is ordered with the "notank" option the system installer mustprovide proper hose, shutoff valve, check

valves and connections for flushing waterfor the system to be NFPA compliant.Additionally, when the Hale FoamMaster isinstalled without a Hale provided selectorsome operating and system protectionfeatures will not be available.

FOAM DISCHARGE DRAINSDrains must be provided from foamcapable discharge piping components toprevent freezing in cold weather. Whendesigning the drain system care must betaken to prevent contamination of thewater system with foam and the foamconcentrate with water. Some multipledrain systems that allow individual drainlines to communicate also allow foam tobypass the installed check valves causingcontamination of fire pump and the wateror foam concentrate storage tanks.

Hale has an optional 7 port drain valve,Model DV7 (Hale P/N 529-5420-00-0) thatprovides individual drains with a singlecontrol to use for applications where asingle point for multiple drains is required. Ifa Hale DV7 drain valve is not used thenindividual drain lines and valves for foamcapable discharge piping arerecommended. Hale type HD individualdrain valves (Hale P/N 538-0600-01-0) (usedwithout tees) are recommended.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTSThe system installer must provide the primarypower wire and a ground strap for the HaleFoamMaster system.

Primary power must be supplied from themain apparatus battery to the distributionbox on the foam pump and motorassembly. The Hale FoamMaster Model 5.0and Model 3.3 each require minimum 60AMP electrical service and the HaleFoamMaster Model 3.0 requires minimum 40AMP electrical service connected to thedistribution box.

Primary electrical power must be supplieddirectly from the battery or the battery

master disconnect switch or solenoids to theHale FoamMaster. Other electricalcomponents must not be supplied from thiswire. DO NOT connect the primer and HaleFoamMaster to the same power wire.

The toggle switch on the Hale FoamMasterdistribution box should be left in the ONposition at all times. So the HaleFoamMaster system is ready for immediateoperation when the operator places theapparatus in pump mode, and to preventbattery power drain when the apparatus isnot running, the primary power connectionmust be made so power is supplied to theHale FoamMaster when the mainapparatus electrical system is energized.Use of a solenoid with a 200 AMP peak, 100AMP continuous rating is recommended.

With Hale FoamMaster Model 5.0 or Model3.3, cable lengths up to 6 feet (1.8 meters)require minimum 4 AWG type SGX (SAEJ1127) battery cable. Use solder lugs oncable ends with a 5/16 inch (8 mm)diameter hole. For Hale FoamMaster Model3.0 or cable lengths greater than 6 feet (1.8meters) refer to the following table for therecommended battery cable size for HaleFoamMaster system primary power wiring.When planning cable runs make sure theprimary wires are routed by the shortestmost direct route.

When making the ground strap connectionmake sure the connection is made to thechassis. Use minimum 5/16 inch (8 mm)diameter bolt or mounting stud for thisconnection.

Make sure the ground is attached directlyto the chassis frame not the apparatusbody work. Before making groundconnection remove all paint, grease andcoatings from the connection area. Aftermaking connection seal against corrosion.

NOTE: When an inline current shuntammeter is installed on the apparatus orthe Hale FoamMaster is used withMultiplexing Display Units with multiple waterflow meters it is necessary to install aFoamMaster power filter kit (Hale P/N 546-1870-00-0) on the Hale FoamMaster foampump.

FOAM CONCENTRATE TANK(s)Foam concentrate tank(s) must be suppliedto suit the capacity required for theapparatus application. The tank(s) mustmeet NFPA minimum standards for theirdesign capacity, including filler size, vaporpressure venting, baffling and drainfacilities.

FOAM PUMP MOUNTING

Position the foam pump and motorassembly in the desired location on theapparatus. When installing the foam pumpand motor assembly, the assembly shouldbe kept in a horizontal position with thebase plate on the bottom (see figure 2-1).Although the system is sealed and designedto be resistant to the harsh environment offire fighting apparatus, a compartment witheasy operator access is the recommendedinstallation location.

The base plate of the foam pump andmotor assembly must be anchored to asurface or structure that is rigid and ofadequate strength to withstand thevibration and stresses of apparatusoperation. Figures 2-2 and 2-3 provide themounting envelope dimensions for the HaleFoamMaster foam pump and motorassembly.

Position the foam pump so the ON/OFFswitch and bypass valve are easilyaccessible. When the Hale FoamMastersystem is ordered without the ADT option, aseparate bypass valve is included that maybe removed from the foam pump andmounted on a truck panel for easieraccess. When the Hale FoamMaster systemis ordered with the ADT option, theoperating knob can be removed from thebypass valve actuator and an extensionrod can be installed to permit remoteoperation. In either instance the foampump and motor assembly must be locatedto permit proper operation of the bypassvalve.

WATER AND FOAM SOLUTIONPLUMBINGWhen making water and foam solutionpiping runs use the best industry practices toinstall this piping. When making threadedpipe connections use a suitable pipesealing compound at all joints.

OPTIONAL HALE PIPING COMPONENTSHale piping components such as 3 inch and4 inch wafer type check valves, 115 and2433 series flanges, mini and maximanifolds, etc. can simplify installation ofwater and foam solution discharge piping.The arrangement shown in figure 2-5

Hale FoamMaster System plumbing diagrams are located at the end of this manualsection. The diagrams provide recommended guidelines for the installation of systemcomponents that handle water, foam concentrate and foam solution. The sequence inwhich the plumbing installation is completed depends on the individual installation.

PLUMBING COMPONENT INSTALLATION

provides accurate proportioning across awide range for up to four discharges fromthe mini manifold. The dual check valvearrangement helps to ensure that no foamconcentrate will contaminate the pumpwater. The Hale mini manifold provides a 1inch NPT tap for installation of the checkvalve/injector fitting. The Hale mini manifoldand elbow components use 4-3/8 inchdiameter bolt circles and minimizefabrication and pipe work. After installationof the plumbing is complete make sure allpipes, hoses and tubes are supported usingthe best industry practices.

in figure 2-7. DO NOT let the flowsensorsrotate more than 85o in either direction forproper operation.

When selecting flowsensors it is important toconsider the minimum and maximum flowrequirements during operation, not thepiping size being used as one flowsensorMAY NOT cover the entire range of systemflows. Refer to the flowsensor selectionchart in Section Ι of this manual for properflowsensor sizing and installation dimensions.

When a single flowsensor is installed in theHale FoamMaster system it should beinstalled in the piping before the foamconcentrate injection point.

Some applications will require installation ofa Hale mini or maxi manifold to provide acommon foam concentrate injection pointand the use of multiple flowsensors withHale foam discharge multiplexing displayunits.

Other applications may be designed to usea single flowsensor due to space restrictionson the apparatus. In this instance theflowsensor selected can be one pipe sizesmaller than the piping run (4 inch to 3 inch,

Figure 2-6 shows a suggested installationarrangement using Hale 4 inch checkvalves, Hale 2433 flanges and 4 inch pipe.A maxi manifold is available from Hale toprovide multiple discharges with a commonfoam injection point using Hale 2433 boltpattern flanges. The discharges availableare similar to those shown for the minimanifold.

WATERWAY CHECK VALVESCheck valves in the waterway, rated at 500PSI (34 BAR), are required to keep foamsolution out of the main pump and allowpump priming without drawing foam intothe piping. Using double check valves,separated by at least 8 inches (203 mm) ofpipe before the foam injection point, helpsensure that pump and tank water remainuncontaminated.

FLOWSENSOR(S)Hale FoamMaster HPF flowsensors arespecially designed to make inspection andmaintenance of the flow sensor easy.

Always refer tothe flowsensor selection chart in Section Ι ofthis manual for proper flowsensor sizing andinstallation dimensions. Selection of thenext smaller flowsensor permits reducing thestraight pipe run the required distance priorto the flowsensor inlet then increasing thepipe size on the flowsensor outlet. In theshort length of reduced pipe pressure losswill be minimal and there will be minimalpressure loss through elbows and fittings.Figure 2-8 shows a typical reduced pipingrun installation.

As an alternative to using reduced pipesize, Hale HPF flowsensor tees are machinedwith a ring that accepts Victaulic typeconnection fittings for installation.

Excessive turbulence in the flowsensor mayproduce unstable and inaccurate flowreadings. The length of straight pipe prior tothe flowsensor must be sufficient to reducethe turbulence in the pipe. The followinginstallation guidelines will help attain thebest readings, and maintain the accuracyof the Hale FoamMaster system.

CAUTION: The Hale HPF flowsensor isassembled and tested at the factory.Removal of the sensor from the tee is notnecessary or recommended forinstallation in the system.

It is not necessary to remove the sensor fromthe flowsensor tee for installation. If removalis necessary refer to figure 2-11 for guidancein disassembly of the flowsensor. Afterinstallation of the flowsensor tee is completethe sensor must be inserted back into thetee if it was removed. Make sure the two o-rings are in the grooves on the sensor

before inserting into the tee. After thesensor is seated in the flowsensor tee it mustbe locked in place using the locking pinand locknut provided. The locknut must betightened handtight only. (See figure 2-11)

FOAM PUMP FLUSH SYSTEMWhen dual foam tanks are installed on theapparatus, flushing water must be providedto flush the system of foam concentrateafter use of some foam concentrate typesto prevent possible reactions. The Hale ADTand Hale MDT II each have provisions forconnecting flushing water to the foamconcentrate injection system.

If a single foam concentrate tank system isinstalled on the apparatus the Hale MSTprovides a selector valve and gives thesystem flush capabilities for NFPAcompliance. A fitting provided on the HaleMST makes connection of flushing watersimple.

When the Hale FoamMaster is installed withthe "no tank" option the system installer mustprovide flushing water supply to complywith NFPA standards.

Flushing water hose should have a minimumof ½ inch (12 mm) inside diameter and becapable of withstanding the maximum firepump discharge pressure, 500 PSI (34 BAR)minimum. The flush water supply should beprovided from one of the pressure taps onthe discharge of the fire pump. Flush waterthread connections on the ADT are ½ inchNPT and on the Hale MDT ΙΙ and Hale MSTthey are ¼ inch NPT. The system installermust provide proper fittings for theseconnections.

FOAM STRAINERIN-LINE STRAINER/VALVE ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: The in-line strainer/valveassembly is a low pressure device andWILL NOT withstand flushing waterpressure. When installing the in-linestrainer in systems equipped with HaleMDT ΙΙ or Hale MST make sure the in-linestrainer/valve assembly is in the hose onthe inlet side of the valve. If the strainerwill be subject to flushing water pressure,use Hale FS series strainers.

The in-line strainer/valve assembly has 1inch NPT female threaded ports. Fittings aresupplied for connection of ¾ inch (19 mm)or 1 inch (25 mm) inside diameter hosedepending on the viscosity of foamconcentrates used. (See figure 2-12)Generally ¾ inch inside diameter hose willbe used for Class A foam and 1 inch insidediameter hose will be used for Class Bfoams. A bracket is included with the in-linestrainer/valve assembly to permit installationon the apparatus.

The hose from the foam tank(s) to thestrainer should have adequate wall stiffnessto withstand the vacuum of the foam pumpwhile it is operating [23 inches (584 mm) Hgand 50 PSI (3 BAR)] (Kuriyama, Kuri-tec K-7130 series or equal).

6. Install the hose from the foam tankoutlet to the inlet of the strainer. Theinlet of the strainer is closer to theoperator panel and is oriented as shownin figure 2-14. Wetting the ends of thehose and fittings will help easeinstallation on the hose fittings.

CAUTION: Make sure the foam tank andfoam concentrate suction hoses areclean before making final connection tofoam pump. If necessary flush tank andhoses prior to making connection.

7. Install the hose from the strainer outlet tothe inlet of the Hale FoamMaster foampump or selector valve.

CHECK VALVE/INJECTOR FITTINGThe Hale check valve/injector fittingsupplied with the Hale FoamMaster systemmeets NFPA requirements for a non-returndevice in the foam injection system toprevent back flow of water into the foamconcentrate tank. When properly installedthe brass and stainless steel constructioncheck valve/injector fitting ensures foamconcentrate is injected into the center ofthe water flow for better mixing.

NOTE: Always position the check valve/injector fitting at a horizontal or higherangle to allow water to drain away fromthe fitting (see figure 2-16). This will avoidsediment deposits or the formation of anice plug.

The check valve/injector fitting MUST bemounted in a location that is common to alldischarges which require foam concentrate(see figure 2-18). The Hale FoamMastersystem does not permit a separate injectionpoint for each foam capable discharge.Even though multiple flowsensors andpressure sensors are installed on a particularsystem, the check valve/injector fitting mustbe installed before these components atthe inlet to their common manifold (refer tofigure 2-10).

The check valve/injector fitting has 1 inchNPT threads on the outside to fit into the 1inch NPT threaded connection on the Halemini manifold, maxi manifold, a pipe tee ora 1 inch NPT weld fitting installed in thedischarge piping of the fire pump (seefigure 2-17). The inlet connection of thecheck valve/injector fitting has ½ inch NPTfemale threads.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSComplete system electrical diagrams areprovided at the end of this manual section.Refer to these diagrams for proper hookupof each of the electrical components. TheHale FoamMaster system is designed to beinstalled with a minimum of electricalconnections. Complete electricallyshielded cables are provided with eachHale FoamMaster system to make theflowsensor, control unit and distribution boxconnections. The system installer mustsupply primary power wire, low tank levelsensor wire and flat braided ground straps.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CAUTIONS• To prevent system damage or electrical

shock the main power supply wire will bethe last connection made to the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

• The cables provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are shieldedassemblies. Never attempt to shorten orlengthen the cables. If necessary orderlonger or shorter cables from HaleProducts to suit the particular installation.

• The cables are indexed so they only go inthe correct receptacle and they canonly go in one way. When making cableconnections DO NOT force mismatchedconnections as damage can result inimproper system operation.

• The system can only perform when theelectrical connections are sound, somake sure each one is correct.

• Hale FoamMaster systems are designedfor use on direct current, negativeground apparatus electrical systems only.

• Do not mount radio transmitter ortransmitter cables in direct or closecontact with the Hale FoamMaster unit.

• Before connecting the cables inspect theo-ring seal in the female connector. Ifthe seal washer is missing or damaged,water can enter the connector causingcorrosion of the pins and terminalsresulting in possible system failure.

• The cables shipped with each HaleFoamMaster system are tested at thefactory with that unit. Improper handlingand forcing connections can damagethese cables which could result in othersystem damage.

• The ground strap must be a minimum of1-¼ inches (32 mm) wide and no longerthan 18 inches (457 mm). A longerground strap must be wider or a doublethickness strap must be used. Make surethe ground strap is attached to thechassis frame. Grounding to the body ISNOT acceptable.

• Always disconnect the power cable,ground straps, electrical wires and cablesfrom the control unit or other HaleFoamMaster equipment before electricarc welding at any point on theapparatus. Failure to do so will result in apower surge through the unit that couldcause irreparable damage.

• There are no user servicable parts insideHale FoamMaster system electrical/electronic components. Opening ofthese components (distribution box,control unit, foam discharge multiplexingdisplay unit) will void warranty.

• When an inline current shunt ammeter isinstalled on the apparatus or the HaleFoamMaster is used with MultiplexingDisplay Units with multiple water flowmeters it is necessary to install aFoamMaster power filter kit (Hale P/N546-1870-00-0) on the Hale FoamMasterfoam pump.

CONTROL UNITThe control unit mounts in the operatorpanel of the apparatus. The cutoutrequired in the operator panel is a 3-¾ inch(95 mm) diameter hole. The display issecured with four #10 socket head screws inthe four holes in the face (See figure 2-23 formounting dimensions). The display requires7 inches (178 mm) minimum clearance fromthe back of the operator panel to allowproper connection of cables. Once thecontrol unit is mounted on the operatorpanel, connect the 6 pin control cable fromthe male distribution box connection (figure2-24) to the 6 pin female connector on theback of the control unit (figure 2-25). Adecal on the distribution box identifies eachcable connection (see figure 2-24).

NOTE: Ensure that the panel where thecontrol unit is mounted has anadequate ground. For stainless steeland vinyl coated panels a ground strap½ inch (12 mm) wide must be attachedfrom one of the four screws holding thecontrol unit in place to the frame of thefire truck to ensure adequate grounding.

FLOWSENSOR CONNECTIONSIf a single Hale FoamMaster paddlewheel

type flowsensor is used, a cable is suppliedwhich connects from the 4 pin connector(refer to figure 2-11) or pigtail on the sensorto the male 4 pin connector on the controlunit (see figure 2-25).

CAUTION: Use the silicone sealerprovided with the Hale FoamMastersystem to insulate the terminal stripconnection screws and preventcorrosion.

2. Tie one wire from each low levelswitch together as a common lead.Connect this common lead to thecenter screw on the terminal block onthe A-B switch box.3. Connect the lead from Tank A to theterminal labeled A TANK on the switchbox and connect the wire from Tank B tothe terminal labeled B TANK.4. Seal the terminal strip connectionsusing the silicone sealer provided.

GROUND AND PRIMARY POWERCONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Connect the primary positivelead from the terminal block to themaster switch terminal or relay terminalusing minimum 4 AWG type SGX (SAEJ1127) chemical resistant battery cableand protect with wire loom.

CAUTION: Prevent corrosion of powerand ground connections by sealingthese connections with silicone sealantprovided.

GROUND CONNECTIONBe sure the Hale FoamMaster system isgrounded to the chassis. Use a short lengthof wide flat ground strap at least 1-¼ inches(32 mm) wide and less than 18 inches (457mm) long to reduce the potential of RFIemitted by this connection. A stud labeledNEG (—) is located on the distribution box toattach the chassis ground strap to the HaleFoamMaster system. (See figure 2-24)When making the ground strap connectionsmake sure lugs are attached to the strapends for trouble free connections.

When the length of the ground strapexceeds 18 inches (457 mm) use a widerstrap or a double thickness strap.

CAUTION: DO NOT connect the mainpower lead to small leads that aresupplying some other device such as alight bar or siren. The Hale FoamMasterModel 3.3 and Model 5.0 require 60 AMPminimum current. The Hale FoamMasterModel 3.0 requires 40 AMP minimumcurrent.

PRIMARY POWER SUPPLYCONNECTIONMake sure adequate switched electricalpower from the battery + terminal to thebattery connection stud on the distributionbox (see figure 2-24) is provided. Use 4AWG minimum type SGX (SAE J1127)battery cable directly to the battery,battery switch or solenoids for cable runs upto 6 feet (1.8 meters) long. Longer wire runsmay require larger battery cable for properoperation. DO NOT connect power to thesame connection as the pump primer. Thefollowing table provides recommendedcable size for various lengths of cable run.

RFI/EMIElectrically shielded cables for control unit,flowsensor, foam discharge multiplexingdisplay units and pressure transducers areprovided with the Hale FoamMaster system.The cables are 100% electrically shielded toeliminate the potential problem of EMI/RFI.Proper installation of system componentsand cables along with proper grounding willlimit radio interference caused by the HaleFoamMaster system. Additionally, makesure radio cables and hardware are notlocated in the immediate area where HaleFoamMaster equipment is mounted.

Make sure the flowsensor tee is grounded.If metal piping is used sufficient groundingmay be present. However, Victaulic joints,plastic pipe and rubber mounted pumpsinterfere with proper grounding and anadditional ground strap may be required. Ifnecessary, connect a flat braided ground

strap at least ¼ inch (6 mm) wide from theflowsensor tee to the apparatus frame toensure proper grounding. The #6-32 UNCscrew that holds the spade terminal to theflowsensor tee can be used to attach theground strap to the tee (refer to figure 2-11).

Making round coils of extra control andflowsensor cables in the pumpcompartment can act as an antenna.While the control and flowsensor cablescannot be shortened, various lengths ofcable are available to minimize the "extra"cable in the truck. When routing controland flowsensor cables take care to avoidrouting them next to antenna wires, radiopower lines and radio components. Whenthere is extra cable, double the cable backon itself and secure with plastic wire ties in aflat bundle instead of making a round coil.(See Figure 2-32)

REMOTE ACTIVATION SWITCHChoose a location in the apparatuspersonnel compartment for mounting theremote activation switch. Make sure theswitch is accessible to the operator withoutinterfering with other controls on theapparatus.

To install the remote activation switch usethe following procedures:

1. Determine location on panel whereswitch is to be mounted. Refer to figure2-33 and layout panel cutout andmounting holes as shown.

2. Make panel cutout and drill the four0.203 inch (5 mm) diameter thru holes.

3. Insert switch assembly through panelcutout and secure to panel using the#10-24 UNC x ½ inch long screws and#10-24 UNC nuts provided.

NOTE: When making cable connectionmake sure the cable is routed by theshortest most direct route. A maximumof 40 feet (12 meters) of remote cablemay be used.

SAFETYHale FoamMaster systems are designed to provide reliable and safe foam concentrateinjection. Before installing or operating a Hale FoamMaster system read all safetyprecautions and follow carefully to ensure proper installation and personnel safety.

WARNINGS1. Do not permanently remove or alter any

guard or insulating devices or attempt tooperate the system when these guardsare temporarily removed.

2. To prevent electrical shock alwaysdisconnect the primary power sourcebefore attempting to service any part ofthe Hale FoamMaster system.

3. All electrical systems have the potentialto cause sparks during service. Takecare to eliminate explosive or hazardousenvironments during service/repair.

4. To prevent system damage or electricalshock the main power supply wire will bethe last connection made to the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

5. Release all pressure then drain allconcentrate and water from the systembefore servicing any of its componentparts.

6. Rotating drive line components cancause injury. When working oncomponents of the Hale FoamMastersystem be careful of rotatingcomponents.

CAUTIONS1. Foam tank low level sensors must be

utilized to protect the Hale FoamMasterfrom dry running. Failure to use low levelsensors with the Hale FoamMastersystem will void warranty.

2. Do not operate system at pressureshigher than the maximum ratedpressure.

3. Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from thefoam pump outlet to the injector fitting,which are rated at or above themaximum pressure rating at which thewater pump system operates.

4. Hale FoamMaster systems are designedfor use on negative ground directcurrent electrical systems only.

5. Do not mount radio transmitter ortransmitter cables in direct or closecontact with the Hale FoamMaster unit.

6. Before connecting the cordsets inspectthe seal washer in the femaleconnector. If the seal washer is missingor damaged, water can enter theconnector causing corrosion of the pinsand terminals resulting in possible systemfailure.

7. Always disconnect the power cable,ground straps, electrical wires andcontrol cables from the control unit orother Hale FoamMaster equipmentbefore electric arc welding at any pointon the apparatus. Failure to do so couldresult in a power surge through the unitthat could cause irreparable damage.

8. DO NOT connect the main power leadto small leads that are supplying someother device such as a light bar or siren.The Hale FoamMaster Model 3.3 andModel 5.0 require 60 AMP minimumcurrent. The Hale FoamMaster Model3.0 requires 40 AMP minimum current.Use correct gauge wire as specified.

9. When operating the Hale FoamMaster inSimulated Flow mode an outlet for thefoam concentrate must be provided toprevent excessive pressure buildup indischarge piping or hoses.

10. Unless engaged in Class B foamoperations, the Hale FoamMaster ADTtoggle switch or Hale FoamMaster MDT IIselector handle must be in the TANK Aposition. If the toggle switch or selectorhandle is in the FLUSH position when theHale FoamMaster foam pump is startedthe foam pump will only run for 20seconds and shut down.

11. Make sure the foam tank and foamconcentrate suction hoses are cleanbefore making final connection to foampump. If necessary flush tank and hosesprior to making connection.

NOTES1. Check all hoses for weak or worn

conditions after each use. Ensure thatall connections and fittings are tight andsecure.

2. Ensure that the electrical source ofpower for the unit is a negative groundDC system, of correct input voltage, witha reserve minimum current available todrive Hale FoamMaster system.

3. The in-line strainer/valve assembly is alow pressure device and WILL NOTwithstand flushing water pressure. Wheninstalling the in-line strainer in systemsequipped with Hale MDT ΙΙ or Hale MSTmake sure the in-line strainer/valveassembly is in the hose on the inlet sideof the valve. If the strainer will besubject to flushing water pressure, useHale FS series strainers.

4. When determining the location of HaleFoamMaster components keep in mindpiping runs, cable routing and otherinterferences that will hinder or interferewith proper system performance.

5. The Hale HPF flowsensor is assembledand tested at the factory. Removal ofthe flow sensor from the tee is notnecessary or recommended forinstallation in the system.

6. Always position the check valve/injectorfitting at a horizontal or higher angle toallow water to drain away from thefitting. This will avoid sediment depositsor the formation of an ice plug.

7. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% electricallyshielded assemblies. Never attempt toshorten or lengthen the molded cables.If necessary order longer or shortercordsets from Hale Products to suit theparticular installation.

8. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are indexed so they

only go in the correct receptacle andthey can only go in one way. Whenmaking cordset connections DO NOTforce mismatched connections asdamage can result in improper systemoperation.

9. The system can only perform when theelectrical connections are sound, somake sure each one is correct.

10. The cables shipped with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% tested atthe factory with that unit. Improperhandling and forcing connections candamage these cables which could resultin other system damage.

11. There are no user servicable parts insideHale FoamMaster system electrical/electronic components. Opening ofthese components (distribution box,control unit, foam discharge multiplexingdisplay unit) will void warranty.

12. Use mounting hardware that iscompatible with all foam concentratesto be used in the system. Use washers,lockwashers and capscrews made ofbrass or 300 series stainless steel.

13. When making wire connections makesure they are properly insulated andsealed using an adhesive filled heatshrink tubing.

14. Before running wires from the low tankswitches to the A-B switch box make surethe wire from Tank A is identified andproperly labeled.

15. ALWAYS connect the primary positivepower lead from the terminal block tothe master switch terminal or the positivebattery terminal using minimum 4 AWGtype SGX (SAE J1127) chemical resistantbattery cable and protect with wireloom.

16. Prevent corrosion of power and groundconnections by sealing theseconnections with silicone sealantprovided.

17. Prevent possible short circuit by using therubber boot provided to insulate theprimary power connection at the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

1. PRESSAND HOLD

USER CALIBRATIONThe complete Hale FoamMaster System;foam pump and motor assembly, controlunit and flowsensor, is tested and calibratedat the factory before shipping to theinstaller. Each component of the matchedsystem is assigned the same serial numberto ensure they remain together. If the HaleFoamMaster system is properly installed,further calibration WILL NOT be necessaryuntil delivery to customer. The system isdesigned to permit easy checking ofcomponent calibration to assure accurateoperation. The calibration verificationprocess will verify component calibrationand allow adjustments to the flowsensor(s)and feedback sensor display readings toallow for variations in apparatus pipingconfiguration and end user selected foamconcentrate(s). Default values forsimulated flow and foam concentrateinjection rates can be set to end userspecifications while in the calibration mode.

NOTE: The Hale FoamMaster system iscalibrated at the factory to U.S.measurement (GPM, PSI, GALLONS, etc.)units. The system may be calibrated toany unit of measure, i.e. U.S., Metric,Imperial, etc. The same unit ofmeasurement must be used throughoutthe calibration process to ensure properproportioning by the system.

Recalibration of the system should berequired ONLY after major repairs orcomponent changes to the HaleFoamMaster foam system or if differentviscosity foam concentrates are used.

Section IV: Operation

SAFETYHale FoamMaster systems are designed to provide reliable and safe foam concentrateinjection. Before installing or operating a Hale FoamMaster system read all safetyprecautions and follow carefully to ensure proper installation and personnel safety.

WARNINGS1. Do not permanently remove or alter any

guard or insulating devices or attempt tooperate the system when these guardsare temporarily removed.

2. To prevent electrical shock alwaysdisconnect the primary power sourcebefore attempting to service any part ofthe Hale FoamMaster system.

3. All electrical systems have the potentialto cause sparks during service. Takecare to eliminate explosive or hazardousenvironments during service/repair.

4. To prevent system damage or electricalshock the main power supply wire will bethe last connection made to the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

5. Release all pressure then drain allconcentrate and water from the systembefore servicing any of its componentparts.

6. Rotating drive line components cancause injury. When working oncomponents of the Hale FoamMastersystem be careful of rotatingcomponents.

CAUTIONS1. Foam tank low level sensors must be

utilized to protect the Hale FoamMasterfrom dry running. Failure to use low levelsensors with the Hale FoamMastersystem will void warranty.

2. Do not operate system at pressureshigher than the maximum ratedpressure.

3. Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from thefoam pump outlet to the injector fitting,which are rated at or above themaximum pressure rating at which thewater pump system operates.

4. Hale FoamMaster systems are designedfor use on negative ground directcurrent electrical systems only.

5. Do not mount radio transmitter ortransmitter cables in direct or closecontact with the Hale FoamMaster unit.

6. Before connecting the cordsets inspectthe seal washer in the femaleconnector. If the seal washer is missingor damaged, water can enter theconnector causing corrosion of the pinsand terminals resulting in possible systemfailure.

7. Always disconnect the power cable,ground straps, electrical wires andcontrol cables from the control unit orother Hale FoamMaster equipmentbefore electric arc welding at any pointon the apparatus. Failure to do so couldresult in a power surge through the unitthat could cause irreparable damage.

8. DO NOT connect the main power leadto small leads that are supplying someother device such as a light bar or siren.The Hale FoamMaster Model 3.3 andModel 5.0 require 60 AMP minimumcurrent. The Hale FoamMaster Model3.0 requires 40 AMP minimum current.Use correct gauge wire as specified.

9. When operating the Hale FoamMaster inSimulated Flow mode an outlet for thefoam concentrate must be provided toprevent excessive pressure buildup indischarge piping or hoses.

10. Unless engaged in Class B foamoperations, the Hale FoamMaster ADTtoggle switch or Hale FoamMaster MDT IIselector handle must be in the TANK Aposition. If the toggle switch or selectorhandle is in the FLUSH position when theHale FoamMaster foam pump is startedthe foam pump will only run for 20seconds and shut down.

Section IV: Operation

11. Make sure the foam tank and foamconcentrate suction hoses are cleanbefore making final connection to foampump. If necessary flush tank and hosesprior to making connection.

NOTES1. Check all hoses for weak or worn

conditions after each use. Ensure thatall connections and fittings are tight andsecure.

2. Ensure that the electrical source ofpower for the unit is a negative groundDC system, of correct input voltage, witha reserve minimum current available todrive Hale FoamMaster system.

3. The in-line strainer/valve assembly is alow pressure device and WILL NOTwithstand flushing water pressure. Wheninstalling the in-line strainer in systemsequipped with Hale MDT ΙΙ or Hale MSTmake sure the in-line strainer/valveassembly is in the hose on the inlet sideof the valve. If the strainer will besubject to flushing water pressure, useHale FS series strainers.

4. When determining the location of HaleFoamMaster components keep in mindpiping runs, cable routing and otherinterferences that will hinder or interferewith proper system performance.

5. The Hale HPF flowsensor is assembledand tested at the factory. Removal ofthe flow sensor from the tee is notnecessary or recommended forinstallation in the system.

6. Always position the check valve/injectorfitting at a horizontal or higher angle toallow water to drain away from thefitting. This will avoid sediment depositsor the formation of an ice plug.

7. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% electricallyshielded assemblies. Never attempt toshorten or lengthen the molded cables.If necessary order longer or shortercordsets from Hale Products to suit theparticular installation.

8. The cordsets provided with each HaleFoamMaster system are indexed so they

only go in the correct receptacle andthey can only go in one way. Whenmaking cordset connections DO NOTforce mismatched connections asdamage can result in improper systemoperation.

9. The system can only perform when theelectrical connections are sound, somake sure each one is correct.

10. The cables shipped with each HaleFoamMaster system are 100% tested atthe factory with that unit. Improperhandling and forcing connections candamage these cables which could resultin other system damage.

11. There are no user servicable parts insideHale FoamMaster system electrical/electronic components. Opening ofthese components (distribution box,control unit, foam discharge multiplexingdisplay unit) will void warranty.

12. Use mounting hardware that iscompatible with all foam concentratesto be used in the system. Use washers,lockwashers and capscrews made ofbrass or 300 series stainless steel.

13. When making wire connections makesure they are properly insulated andsealed using an adhesive filled heatshrink tubing.

14. Before running wires from the low tankswitches to the A-B switch box make surethe wire from Tank A is identified andproperly labeled.

15. ALWAYS connect the primary positivepower lead from the terminal block tothe master switch terminal or the positivebattery terminal using minimum 4 AWGtype SGX (SAE J1127) chemical resistantbattery cable and protect with wireloom.

16. Prevent corrosion of power and groundconnections by sealing theseconnections with silicone sealantprovided.

17. Prevent possible short circuit by using therubber boot provided to insulate theprimary power connection at the HaleFoamMaster distribution box.

3. After completion of Class B foamoperations briefly flush the foam pump andreturn the Hale FoamMaster to the readycondition by returning to the TANK Aposition and flowing a small amount ofClass A foam concentrate.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the HaleFoamMaster dual tank system is in theTANK A position when apparatus isplaced in ready condition.

FLUSHING HALE FOAMMASTERWhen returning the apparatus to readycondition after foam operations using classB foam, the Hale FoamMaster foam pumpmust be flushed because some Class Bfoam concentrates deteriorate rapidly.

NOTE: Approved class A foamconcentrates do not deteriorate rapidlylike class B foam concentrates. As longas an approved class A foamconcentrate is used and the system willbe used within 10-12 weeks no flushingwill be required. When class B foamconcentrate is used flush system thenswitch to class A as most responses areusually class A types.

The following procedures shall be used toflush the foam pump. Refer to figure 4-10for ADT or MDT ΙΙ operating positions andrefer to figure 4-11 for MST operation:

1. Energize apparatus and establish waterflow through a foam capabledischarge. Set fire pump for a lowdischarge pressure, 50 to 75 PSI (3.4 to5.2 BAR).

2. Energize Hale FoamMaster bydepressing the red ON button allowingfoam solution to discharge.

NOTE: When the Hale ADT, MDT ΙΙ or MSTis in the FLUSH position the HaleFoamMaster foam injection system willonly run for 20 seconds.

3. Place the Hale ADT, MDT ΙΙ or MST to theFLUSH position.

4. Observe discharge hose and allow HaleFoamMaster and discharge to run forseveral seconds.

5. After several seconds place the HaleADT or MDT ΙΙ to the TANK A position andallow Hale FoamMaster to run until foamsolution is discharged through the foamcapable hose line.

NOTE: When the Hale MST is used forClass B foam concentrates DO NOTallow the foam pump to run in the FOAMTANK position after flushing foam pump.

6. Place the Hale MST to the FOAM TANKposition and allow Hale FoamMaster torun until Class A foam solution isdischarged through the foam capablehose line. If Class B foam concentrate isused shut down Hale FoamMasterimmediately after switching to FOAMTANK position.
