SINGLE / DUAL FLOW MONITOR
FFS-290rev02

Description
The FFS single/dual flow monitors offer a unique combination of high performance in
relation to weight and dimensions. The units are extremely robust and require minimal
maintenance.

The monitor flow channels are designed using the latest technology in fluid
engineering. In this way low pressure loss and high performance throw characteristics
are achieved.

The monitors are manufactured and performance tested in Scandinavia in accordance

with the highest quality standards.

Material for main castings is nickel-aluminium-bronze with superb strength and

corrosion resistance. Stainless steel (AISI 316L) and composites are used for smaller
components. Ball bearings for elevation and horizontal movements are made from
high grade stainless steel and permanently grease filled. They are sealed from both
internal water pressure and atmosphere by O-rings. The monitor is protected by a
lightweight GRP cover, which can easily be removed.

The dual flow mechanism is operated by water pressure. The components are well
protected against external damage as integrated parts of the castings.

The vertical and horizontal movements are operated by electrical motors via
gearboxes. All gears are completely sealed from the surroundings, thus eliminating
accidental contact. Robust hand wheels provide manual back-up operation for the
monitor movements.

1.5 Start up and Commissioning

Caution!
Read chapter 2 ”Operation” before starting the monitor.
Warning!
Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries.

1. Remove protection cover. This is done by removing the four hand knobs holding the cover.
2. Check that all bolts and screws that have been adjusted or relocated are firmly fixed. Follow
the instructions given in this chapter.
3. Check the equipment against material specification and order confirmation to ensure that
voltage rating etc. is corresponding to the available power connection. Check also the water
capacity and pressure rating.
4. Check that the settings of operating sectors are corresponding to the safe areas of operation.
Study instructions in chapter 2.
5. Run the system according to instructions given in chapter 3.
6. After adjustment, a new functional test without water is recommended, before monitor is tested
with water.
7. If foam concentrate have been used, flush the monitor with water afterwards.
8. Be aware of any obstacles, as radars, antennas, mast funnel and lights which may get damaged
if hit by the water beam.

1.6 Manual monitors

The various sizes of the FFS monitor range can also be supplied as manual operation monitors. In
these cases the rotation and elevation of monitor is done by two hand wheels connected to shafts
via gear wheels – see figure below. The fog/jet function is also operated by manual gear wheel.
The gears are self- locking for any horizontal, elevation and fog/jet position.

The manual operation monitors can in some cases be equipped with a dual flow mechanism. This
fuction is operated by a valve located underneath the monitor barrel - see figure below.

For safety precautions, installation and so on, see relevant chapters for the remotely operated
monitors. These descritions cover all versions of the FFS monitors.

1.7 JetScreen monitors
The monitors of models FFS600 and FFS1200 from FFS can also be equipped with a JetScreen
nozzle. These monitors have the possibility to either have a jet for long distance fire-fighting, or a
110° wide conical screen that can be used either self-protection as well as short distance fire-
fighting. The monitors can be delivered in two different versions, Single Flow or Dual Flow.

Operation of Jet-Screen function is done remotely from the control panel by an electric actuator
on the monitor.

The Dual Flow function is operated remotely by the solenoid valve under the monitor branch pipe.
This solenoid is also possible to operate manually by a local push button.

For adjustment, se document FFS494 – JetScreen capacity adjustment.

2 OPERATION

2.1 Electric remote control mode

The electric remote control mode is the normal way to operate the monitor. This can be done from
a local or remote control panel. For details see separate documentation for the controls system.

Note !
Installation instructions and setting of operating sectors must be followed and completed prior to
running the monitor in remote control mode.
Warning
Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries.

2.1.1 System activation

1. Activate the water supply to the monitor starting the pump.

2. Fill up the piping system up to the monitor slowly and carefully in order to prevent any water
hammering in the system.
3. Activate the control system for the monitor if it is not already activated.
4. Orient the outlet barrel of the monitor in such a direction that the water jet can not cause
injuries or damages. Be aware that the power of the jet is extremely dangerous.
5. Orientation of the jet can now easily and accurately be manoeuvred from the control panel.
Usually by means of a”joystick”.
6. The monitor is also equipped with a deflector allowing for a wider spray beam pattern, this is
normally activated from the control panel.
7. (Option “Dual Flow”) The unit can also be delivered with a Dual Flow, allowing for a lower
flow setting at typical foam fire fighting applications. This function will normally be activated
from the control panel
8. (Option “Dual Barrel”) The unit can also be delivered with a Dual Barrel, allowing for a lower
flow setting trough a separate barrel. This barrel has an aspirating function for foam fire
fighting applications. This function will normally be activated from the control panel.

2.1.2 System deactivation

1. Shut the water supply off.

2. Orient the monitor in the desired park position
3. If risk for sub zero whether condition, the nozzle shall be directed downwards below horizontal
level in order to drain the nozzle.
4. Deactivate the monitor control system
5. Report any observed deviations from normal operation or wear.

2.2 Manual override mode

The manual override mode is a good and safe way to operate the monitor during installation and
adjustment of limit switches.
Also during maintenance and service, the manual override is useful.

The manual override mode serves a back up possibility of the monitor in case of a power supply
failure of the control circuits.

2.2.1 Activating manual override (with or without water supply to the monitor).

1. Make sure that the power supply to the monitor control circuits are shut off.
2. Release the crank handles located inside the hand wheel; these are spring loaded and must be
folded out.
1. The monitor is now ready to be operated manually. To alter the orientations of the monitor turn
the hand wheel accordingly.

2.2.2 Deactivating manual override.

1. To again prepare the monitor for electric remote control the crank handles must be folded
into the hand wheel in their standby fold in position. Note! Never operate the monitor remotely
with the cranking handles pointing out on the monitor.
2. Connect the power supply to the control circuits of the monitor.
3. Orient the monitor into a desired parking position.
4. Activate the monitor control system if that is included in the local procedures.

2.3 After use

Make sure the monitor is ready to be used on short notice, and that all functions are in good
working order. Make sure that any observed deviations is reported and corrected.

3 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

3.1 Maintenance

 The monitor does not require any regular maintenance.

 It is however recommended that the monitor should be operated electrically or manually on a
regular basis. At least once a month is recommended, to see that the monitor is in good
working order. This can be done with or without water supply.
 Manual monitors: It is recommended to re-grease the threaded rod for operation of fog/jet
mechanism on a regular basis.

3.2 Inspection

 Detail Inspection of the monitor is recommended to be carried out monthly.

 Visually inspect the monitor for any occurred damages, improper or unauthorised adjustments
etc.
 Inspect for and repair any paint damage.
 The oil level of the gearboxes is not necessary to check since permanent lubrication is
provided. The only check point necessary is to look for oil leakage, which is unusual. Electric
motors and other moving parts are intended for marine application and will not require any
special attention.
 Inspect and check that all bolts on the fire monitor are securely tightened.

4 TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAULT FINDING

This monitor is made to meet the highest requirements for reliability. If the operations and
maintenance instructions are followed properly, malfunction or deviating performance shall not be
expected. If any trouble is encountered, the guide can be of use.

Observation

Monitor does not move during remote control operation.

1. Check power supply to control circuits

2. Check if motor protection is tripped.
3. Make sure the monitor is not positioned in any extreme position (limit switches activated).
4. Check functionality of electrical control system.
5. Run the monitor in manual operation mode to exclude possibility of mechanical failure.

If none-of the above suggested investigations lead to any conclusion, contact FFS for advice.

Observation
Monitor does operate, but outside the pre-set operation sector during remote control operation.

Warning. Stop operating the monitor immediately since permanent mechanical damage may
occur!

1. This problem may occur if service or repair has been performed and the phase on the terminals
on the 3 phase electrical system has been changed. In this case, the directions of rotation for the
electrical motor may have changed; up become down and/or left becomes right.
2. Check if the limit switches are correctly set or if they are damaged.

6.1 LIFTING INSTRUCTION – Sizes incl. FFS1200 series and smaller

Only use approved and certified lifting gear for performing lifting operation.

Available equipment: 2 soft slings + lifting device suitable for weights according to product
datasheet.

When lifting the monitor either from the crate or onto the monitor pedestal in the vessel, never
attach a sling to the monitor barrel. This could cause damage to the unit.

A lifting instruction is also permanently attached to the monitor barrel.

Use soft slings around the monitor body as shown below. This way of lifting is the same for both
long barrel and short barrel monitors. If necessary, the hand wheel for barrel elevation can be
rotated to adjust the monitor centre of gravity during lifting.

7 FFS 2400 and FFS 3600 series – Barrel Docking Station

The FFS water monitors of type FFS 2400 and FFS 3600 are supplied with a support bracket. The
bracket is to be mounted as a Barrel Docking Station and will unload the gravity forces generated
by the heavy monitor barrel. This bracket is to be mounted outside the monitor working area and
the monitor must be manually operated into the Barrel Docking Station when it is not in
operation. The Barrel Docking Station is not an absolute requirement, but it is recommended by
FFS to dock the monitor when not in operation to ensure a long life time of the monitor.

The limit switches are set relevant to the opportunities of each individual application. Therefore,
the FFS prescribed procedure is to use the elevation and rotation(if needed) hand-crank to
manually fit the barrel to the Docking Station.

The support bracket is delivered with 4

mounting holes. This is to be mounted to the
vessel structure for example on a supported rod
to the deck or in combination with the vessels
railing.
