Specialists are committed. The Alco range of monitors may be unique, but you will never buy
anything “off the shelf” from us. The service offered to Alco customers and those wishing to join
them starts with intensive technical consulting. Our engineers are open minded for all possible re-
quirements even seemingly impossible ones, and take up every challenge to develop the best pos-
sible solution for you with competence, creativity and passion.
Top quality guaranteed. All original Alco devices are developed in compliance with applicable EC
directives, as confirmed by the CE Mark of Conformity. Our production system meets the highest
standards in terms of quality, one of the guarantees for which is certification in accordance with
ISO 9001. Our factory acceptance inspections are carried out by all the leading certification author-
ities such as GL, ABS, Rina, LRS and DNV.
Continuity guaranteed. On request we can carry out the work of commissioning our monitors for the
first time operation at the place of deployment. In addition, for every device delivered to our custom-
ers we provide detailed documentation containing descriptions of all the technical details and
functions.

Alco products are in demand worldwide by industrial firms, refineries, airports, military ser-
vices, police forces, corporate, professional and voluntary fire services, and manufacturers of fire
engines. Each costumer requirement may differ in terms of function and material but in all cases
they are extremely exacting. Whether it be rock chips, the impact of seawater or chemicals, or
extreme temperature fluctuations – with original Alco monitors you are always perfectly equipped.
To minimize both pressure losses and wear at the same time, we pay particular attention to the
design of the guidance arrangement for the extinguishing agent in the monitor. Based on our
decades of experience in the design, construction and maintenance of monitors, we only use
materials which are of a particularly high quality for our production. Anodized or hard-anodized
aluminium alloys (with additional catalytic dipping lacquer coatings on the inside and outside in
some cases) or copper alloys provide unparalleled resilience.
When it comes to the coating of our devices, you‘ll also get top quality. On top of the polyacrylic-
based two component primer we apply a high acrylic-based two component top coat in two
further stages of spraying. The standard colours are: flame red (RAL 3000), white (RAL 9001) and
silver (RAL 9006). Would you prefer different colours? Just ask us!

With hand lever operation With hand wheel operation

The device has ergonomically positioned swivel levers
for adjusting the monitor through all rotation and swivell-
ing ranges and positively locking it in all positions. This
prevents any possibility of the monitor coming loose
from its fixed position, e.g. as a result of vibrations.
Since the device does not have a gear unit it can be directed towards more distant targets very quickly by the
hand lever when unlocked. The angle of the hand lever can be adjusted via a toothed lock washer, which helps
the operator save energy and avoid physical fatigue while working. The standard vertical swivelling angle can be
adjusted at the factory to your specific requirements, subject to the limits of the overall swivelling angle of 110°.
This device is turned and swivelled by hand wheels. The
hand wheels are arranged logically in relation to the
axes of movement to ensure that operation is made as
easy as possible. The self-locking gear units which are
fitted to the monitor lock it in every selected position
without the need for any further locking operations.
Even vibrations associated with use on vehicles or ships
and boats will not cause it to move out of position of its
own accord.
For protection and for work safety, the worms and spindles in the gear units are covered over. The standard verti-
cal swivelling angle can be adjusted at the factory to your specific requirements, subject to the limits of the overall
swivell-
ing angle of 110°.

When working with self-priming foam branch pipes and jet/spray nozzles, the suction line for the foaming agent
restricts the horizontal swivelling range. With the PowerFighter 4-UZ series the suction line can be permanently re-
routed as far as the foaming agent inlet on the static lower section of the monitor. From there the suction line runs

A short flexible hose connects it from here to the foam inductor on the foam branch pipe or nozzle.
This connection hose is part of the basic device and swivels with the monitor when the monitor is rotated, raised

The basic unit of the PowerFighter 6-U has an extremely low overall height relative to the inner diameter of the
water guidance arrangement. The path of the water is optimized in hydraulic terms by flow guidance fins, which
makes it possible to achieve long throw distances with only low pressure losses.
With the basic device as starting point, a wide range of optional and accessory components are available to enable
the device to be adapted to specific assignment requirements. This applies to both the choice of method of opera-
tion and the type of branch pipe and nozzle equipment.
When working with self-priming foam branch pipes and MZ nozzles, the suction line for the foaming agent
restricts the horizontal swivelling range. With the PowerFighter 6-UZ series the suction line can be permanently
re-routed as far as the foaming agent inlet on the static lower section of the monitor. From there the suction line
runs along the axis of rotation and ends with an outlet bend on the swivelling upper section of the PowerFighter. A
short flexible hose connects it from here to the foam inductor on the foam branch pipe or nozzle.
This connection hose is part of the basic device and swivels with the monitor when the monitor is rotated, raised
and lowered. This means that there is no need for the suction line between the monitor and the foaming agent to
accommodate any movement when the monitor is in operation.

The supply cables to each of the monitor‘s motors are routed through an opening on the side of the flange on
the fixed lower section of the device, and are secured to terminals in the housing. These torsion-resistant cables
then run centrally through a tube along the vertical axis of rotation of the monitor. This allows the monitor to be
swivelled horizontally without any hindrance and you save the extra lengths of hose normally required in order
to compensate for the turning movements.

The autonomous FIFI 1, 2 or 3 extinguishing systems are fully integrated in the firefighting boat. Each of the
classifications describes the firefighting capabilities of the firefighting boat. These include, for example, speci-
fied minimum requirements in respect of flow rate, height of the throw curve for a defined distance from the
boat/ship, and absolute throw distance.
The monitor is a highly important component of every FIFI system, because its water delivery rate is intended
to enable firefighting work to be carried out at the large distance required. The APF 7 is suitable for installation
in a FIFI 1 system.
With a capacity of 1,200 m3/h it exceeds the required throw distance of 120 m and the throw height of 45 m

Trailers 15.0

Albach trailers with fitted monitors are completely mobile firefighting units which provide a stable, trans-
portable basis for assignments requiring large volumes of extinguishing agent. It is possible to use either
water or a water and foaming agent mixture (AFFF, FFFP) with these trailers.

Equipped with four lowerable supports or, for larger units, a lowerable axle operated by a manual hydraulic
pump, the vehicles can be lowered on their spring-loaded outriggers with wear-resistant tips made of
hard metal. These ensure that the trailer stands securely on both hard and soft ground. The filling of the
water guidance arrangements provides additional stability for the trailer during operations.

The water guidance arrangement is equipped with an automatic drainage valve and empties automatic-
ally at the end of operations.

Admixer 16.0

During assignments it is often the case that foaming agent has to be admixed with the extinguishing water.
This is required either to change the physical properties of the water or to produce foam for smothering
liquid-based fires or for cooling purposes. The wide range of different foaming agents means that there
is a need for fittings for helping admix the agents to the extinguishing water in preset dosages and with
sufficient accuracy.

Admixing concentrations for the generation of foam are generally 3% and 6%. An admixing concentration
of 1% is used in order to reduce the surface tension of the water and thereby wet the object on fire more
effectively with the extinguishing agent.

When it comes to the choice of the foam inductor fitting, the first point to check is whether the foaming
agent is supplied by a pump, i.e. under pressure, or whether it is made available without pressure in a con-
tainer. In the first case a pressure foam inductor has to be used, whereas in the second case a suction foam
inductor is required.

16.1 Pressure foam inductors

Firefighting facilities used in industry often have the foam supplied through pressure lines, because of the size Technical data
of the plants involved. The pressure in the foam lines is maintained by foam pumps.
Nominal width: 1“
The pressure foam inductor serves to admix the pressurized foaming agent to a pressurized water line. It has Nominal pressure: PN 16
a mechanism which allows foaming agent and/or water pressure to be supplied at a constant rate, as long as Materials: G-CuSn5ZnPb/stainless steel
there is a minimum pressure difference of 2 bar between the foaming agent line and the water line. It is also Admixing rate: 0 - 3% - 6% (set by dosing valve)
possible to switch between several different admixing rates during operation.
The designation of the admixing regulator is based
The admixing regulator supplies the same amount of foaming agent to the water at all times at practically on the flow rate of the connected foam generator:
any pressure level, even when the pressure fluctuates. If more water is supplied when the pressure is high- ZR 4 > 400 lpm
er, which is the case with most foam generators, the resultant foam-to-water mix is „thinner“. Conversely, if ZR 8 > 800 lpm
the amount of water falls in response to lower pressure, the mix is „heavier“. The admixing rate only remains ZR 12 > 1,200 lpm
constant if the flow rate does not change either when the foam is being generated. Where there is a strong ZR 16 > 1,600 lpm
increase in pressure with just a low flow rate, a gradual shutoff valve should be used to maintain the nominal ZR 25 > 2,500 lpm
flow rate. ZR 28 > 2,800 lpm
ZR 32 > 3,200 lpm

16.2 Suction foam inductors 16.3 Foam inductor system for vehicles

In terms of principles of operation, suction foam inductors are similar to water jet pumps. Depending on the way in
which the device is installed in the overall system, the terms inline foam inductor or bypass foam inductor are used.
Inline foam inductors are installed ahead of the foam generator in the supply lines or integrated in the foam
generator itself (self-priming foam branch pipes and MZ nozzles). The entire flow of extinguishing agent
flows through them, which is why this type of use is more suitable for smaller volumes of extinguishing agent.
Example of version: 1621
This pump premixing system is comprised of a pump and mixing unit and a measuring and dosing appliance, which
is fitted to the pressure pipe joint of the pump. It delivers an exact, preset mixture across the entire flow range,
regardless of the number of consumers connected.
The entire flow of extinguishing agent being delivered by the vehicle initially flows through the measuring and dos-
ing appliance. As it does so it moves a dosing cylinder which regulates the flow of foam concentrate to the suction
fitting on the water jet pump and mixing unit. To operate this unit a certain amount of the pressurized water flow
from the centrifugal pump is drawn off and used in the water jet pump to draw up foaming agent. This sub-flow be-
comes mixed with the foam concentrate and is then fed back to the main flow of water again at the suction fitting
in the centrifugal pump. In the process the foam and water mixture is produced in the preset percentage ratio. Fed
through the centrifugal pump again, the mixture then arrives at the end consumer.

Folding joints are used in industrial facilities for moving monitors from their working positions to an idle position.
This is particularly important in thermal power stations, because it ensures that they are then protected from the
grabs on the waste crane, from projecting objects and also from heavy pollution.

Depending on the weight of the monitor and specific use, the folding movement is performed either by hand or
with the aid of motor power.

Switching attachments are three-way ball valves which are attached to the outlet flange of a monitor to allow Field experience shows that the outlet fitting attached to the monitor has a critical influence on the effectiveness of
two different branch pipes to be fitted to it. This means that when different extinguishing agents are being used extinguishing operations. You can choose from a range of different „nozzles“ to meet your specific requirements:
it is always possible to select the branch pipe which is most suitable for the specific extinguishing agent or job at

to install the branch pipe with the lower capacity in the upper position.

Jet/spray nozzles (MZ nozzles) Foam branch pipes

Jet/spray nozzles are equipped with a baffle which deflects the flow of extinguishing agent at the nozzle outlet
so that it comes out through a ring-shaped slit. The resultant hollow jet is then deflected again at the so-called
jet forming sleeve to be bundled into a compact jet. It has a shorter range than a full jet. However, by pulling
back the jet forming sleeve it is possible to infinitely adjust the opening angle of the jet by as much as to make
it a conical spray. A spray jet of this kind is capable of absorbing large amounts of energy and heat radiation.
Moreover, the fine drops which make up the spray are also ideally suitable for washing noxious substances out
of the air. Jet/spray nozzles create up to triple expansion of type AFFF foaming agents without any additional
auxiliaries.
Foam branch pipes a comprised of a nozzle with an attached throw pipe. The jet effect causes air to be drawn in
from the surroundings. When the air mixes with the extinguishing agent in the throw pipe it forms foam. Depending
on the foaming agent used it is possible to achieve expansion ratios of up to 15. The range of the jet is somewhat
smaller than with a full jet or jet/spray nozzle. Foam branch pipes can also be used just with water, in which case
the throw distance will be slightly greater.
Self-priming foam branch pipes are a combination of foam inductor and foam generator. A regulating apparatus on
the foam inductor allows you to set the admixing or pick-up rates to a maximum of 6%.

Where goods are returned at no fault of ours, we shall levy a fee of 20 percent of
the value of the goods, or not less than EUR 15.00, for warehousing them again.
The goods must be returned to us at no charge to us. Any freight, packaging, post-
age or other ancillary costs incurred shall be paid for by the sender of the return
delivery. All return deliveries require our express prior agreement. The return of
goods with a net value of less than EUR 200 shall not be accepted.
10. Terms of Payment
a) Our invoices are due for payment without deduction within 30 days after the
invoice date. In the case of orders with an invoice value of more than EUR 5,000,
one third of the purchase price shall be due for payment upon receipt of our
order confirmation, a further one third on delivery, or no later than when notifi-
cation that the goods are ready for delivery is given, and the final one third
within one month of the time for payment of the second third, without any
deductions in each case and regardless of whether an invoice for installation
costs has been issued.
b) Interest shall be charged on payment in arrears. Any such interest charges
shall be charged at the applicable bank rates for credit, but at not less than 8
percent above the base interest rate of the European Central Bank.
c) We shall be entitled, notwithstanding any stipulations of the customer to the
contrary, to appropriate payments in the first instance to older debts of the
customer. We shall inform the customer about the way in which the payment
has been set-off. Where costs and interest have been incurred, we shall be
entitled in the first instance to appropriate the payments to the costs, then to
the interest, and lastly to the principal performance.
d) Partial deliveries and partial performances can be charged separately.
e) There shall be no entitlement to set-off or retention, unless the counter-claim
has become legally effective or has been accepted by us.
f) In the event of non-compliance with terms of payment, all of our accounts
receivable, including those for which we have accepted a bill of exchange,
shall become due for immediate payment.
g) If the customer should be in default on his payment obligations, or stops pay-
ments, or a bank fails to honor a cheque, we shall be entitled, after setting a
time limit, to withdraw from the supply contract and from any agreements
relating to the extension of the term of payment. We shall also be entitled to
exclude the customer who is in default of payment from any further deliveries,
even if concomitant supply contracts have been concluded.
h) We are entitled to assign our claims for payment.
i) Our invoices shall be paid free of charges to us. Any bank charges or other
ancillary costs associated with monetary transactions shall be borne by the
customer. Invoices shall only be deemed to have been paid when the equiva-
lent value has been credited to the full amount set out in the invoice.
11. Reservation of Title
a) We shall retain ownership of the delivered goods until payment of all out-
standing and future accounts receivable, regardless of type or legal basis,
arising in connection with the business relationship with the customer, has
been made in full. In the case of a running account, the reserved title shall be
deemed to provide security for the account balance receivables.
b) Any processing or working of the goods which have been delivered by us and
which remain in our ownership shall be carried out for and on behalf of us,
without giving rise to any liabilities for us.
c) Where the goods are installed by the customer in goods of third parties, we
shall acquire co-ownership of the resultant products in the proportion of the
value of the goods supplied by us relative to the value of the goods used from
third parties.
d) Where the goods delivered by us are commingled with or connected to other
objects, the customer herewith agrees to assign his rights of ownership/co-
ownership of the commingled object or new object, and shall hold the object in
custody for us at no charge to us and with due care.
e) The customer shall be entitled, within the framework of the customer‘s ordi-
nary business, to process and to sell the goods subject to reservation of title
as long as he is not in default. The goods may not be pledged or ownership
transferred by way of security.
f) The customer shall not assign any claims accruing to him from the resale of
the reserved goods supplied by us unless it is an assignment pursuant to
genuine factoring of which we must be informed in advance and where the
factoring proceeds exceed the value of our secured claim for payment. Our
claim for payment shall become due for payment as soon as the factoring
proceeds are paid.
g) All claims for payment (including all account balance receivables from an open
account) arising out of the resale of the reserved goods or arising for any other
legal reason (insurance/unlawful acts) relating to the reserved goods, are as-
signed to us in full, here and now, as a precaution. We authorize the customer,
subject to revocation, to collect on our account and in his own name the claims
for payment assigned to us. The authority to collect may only be revoked if the
customer should be in default of properly meeting his payment obligations.
h) In the event of any attachments being made on the reserved goods by third
parties, the customer shall advise the third party of our ownership and also
advise us immediately, to enable us to take judicial or extra-judicial action to
protect our interests. The judicial or extra-judicial costs incurred in this con-
nection shall be borne by the customer.
i) The customer shall resist attachments from third parties. Where the customer
is in breach of contract – in particular where the customer is in default on
payment – we shall be entitled to reclaim the reserved goods or to demand
the assignment of the purchaser‘s claims for return in respect of a third party.
Notwithstanding § 449 II of the German Civil Code (BGB), this shall not be
subject to the condition of withdrawal from the contract.
j) The reclamation or seizure of the reserved goods by us shall not constitute a
withdrawal from the contract, unless a consumer is involved.
k) Where a cheque is not honored, the customer undertakes to return the received
goods to us on demand, for the outstanding amount, at his own risk and expense.
l) On request from the customer, we shall release securities if the value of the
retained securities exceeds our claim for payment by more than 20 percent;
the choice of securities to be released shall be made at our discretion. The cus-
tomer shall be responsible for furnishing evidence that the retained securities
exceed the 20 percent figure.
12. Guarantee
a) We guarantee that the parts as manufactured and supplied by us are free
of defects in accordance with the agreed technical delivery instructions. For
conformity of the condition of the goods with the contract, the time of the
passing of risk shall be definitive.
b) The guarantee period is 1 year from the date of dispatch of the goods.
c) We shall, in the first instance, choose between repair and replacement to
fulfill the guarantee covering defects in the goods.
d) Transportation costs and traveling expenses incurred in connection with reme-
dial performance shall be borne by the customer if these should be dispropor-
tionately high relative to the costs of repair or the replacement part(s).
e) The customer must notify us in writing of the discovery of any recognizable
defects immediately or within 1 week at the latest after the receipt of the ob-
ject of delivery. Defects which cannot be discovered within this deadline, even
after thorough examination, must be reported to us in writing immediately or,
again, within 1 week after discovery at the latest. Otherwise the claim under
the guarantee shall be rendered void. The deadline shall be deemed to have
been met if notification is dispatched within due time. The customer is solely
responsible for furnishing proof that the conditions for the claim are met, in
particular proof of the defect itself, when the defect was discovered and proof
that notification of the defect was given within the due time.
f) The replacement of parts, sub-assemblies or whole devices shall not lead to
the start of new guarantee periods. No guarantee is given for wearing parts
or for the improper use, storage and handling of devices. Claims under the
warranty shall be rendered void in the event of tampering by third parties.
g) Where three attempts at remedial performance have been made without
success, the customer shall be entitled, at his discretion, to choose between
demanding a reduction in payment (lowering) or cancellation of the contract
(withdrawal). However, in the case of only a minor breach of the contract, in
particular only minor defects, the customer shall not be entitled to withdraw
from the contract.
h) If the customer chooses to withdraw from the contract as a consequence of a
legal or material defect after the failure of remedial performance, he shall not
be entitled to any claims for damages in relation to the defect. If the customer
chooses to demand compensation for damages after the failure of remedial
performance, the goods shall be retained by the customer if this can be rea-
sonably expected from him. Compensation for damages shall be limited to the
difference between the price and the value of the defective object. This shall
not apply if the breach of contract was caused by fraudulent behavior.
i) The customer is not given any guarantees in the legal sense. Manufacturer‘s
warranties are not affected by the above provision.
13. Customer Service
We have set up a customer service unit which checks all devices to ensure that
they are ready for service. We only have a duty to perform tests if a written test
contract has been concluded. Unless agreed otherwise in a test contract, every
test performed by our technicians is subject to the following provisions: Following
the test our technicians provide attestation of confirmation of readiness for ser-
vice. The test fees shall be agreed separately. Replacement parts shall be charged
at the list price. Where the devices listed in the test certificate should be found to
be damaged or do not function properly after the issue of the test documentation
and evidence is furnished that this is the result of a negligent oversight on the
part of the tester, we shall replace parts at no charge or undertake repairs. If
repair should not be possible or is not carried out by us within a reasonable time,
the customer shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. All other contrac-
tual or non-contractual claims arising from or in connection with completed or
omitted inspections or repairs, including those arising from or in connection with
contractual collateral duties, in particular claims of any kind for compensation for
consequential or direct damages, shall be precluded, subject to the limits of clause
10. No liability shall be accepted if we do not receive written notification of the
defect immediately after its discovery, if the device is tested or handled at any
time by anyone other than one of our authorized technicians, or in the event of fail-
ure to comply with operating or handling instructions for devices or accessories..
14. Data Protection
We shall be entitled to use the information received about the customer in the
course of or in connection with the business relationship, regardless of whether
it is received from the customer or a third party, within the terms of the German
Federal Data Protection Act. This notice is provided in place of the notice required
in accordance with the German Federal Data Protection Act to advise that person-
al information about the customer may be stored and processed in EDP systems
