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 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 General description
The FFS single/dual flow monitors offer a unique combination of high performance in relation
to weight and dimensions. The units are robust and require minimal maintenance.
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 made from composites and stainless steel provide manual back-up operation for
the monitor movements.
Installation
1.1 Safety precautions
Warning!
Do not direct the flow beam towards any persons
Cut the power before repairs and maintenance
Risk of squeezing when the monitor is moving
1.2 Inspection
Inspect the monitor carefully for any signs of transport damage or other deviations which
may have occurred during transport. Make sure that all equipment and parts are available.
Check ID plate for correct part and serial no.
1.3 Installation
1) Normally to be mounted on the opposite side of the general throw direction by use of
two of the flange bolts.
2) The Junction box should also be positioned at the middle point of the horizontal
operation sector, allowing the flexible cable to move freely in both directions.
Caution!
Read chapter 3 ”Operation” before starting the monitor.
Warning!
Keep away from moving parts of the monitor to avoid injuries.
Two limit switches are located in the transparent circular box/cover at the top of the
monitor (see Fig. 2). Remove the top of the box by turning it counter clockwise.
The top limit switches is restricting the movement towards left and the bottom one is
restricting the movement towards right.
Set the limit switch by lifting the bottom cam and turn it until the lower switch is activated
and then release the cam. The spring will push the cam back on the splined shaft and lock
it in correct position. Check afterwards with your hand that the cam is securely locked in
position.
When the outlet barrel located in its intended extreme position, control that the limits
switch is operating normally by trying to activate the electrical motor beyond this point. If
the setting is correct the monitor will only be possible to move from this extreme position
towards the intended sector of operation.
Set the limit switch in the right extreme position operation by repeating the above
described steps for the limit switch. The upper cam shall be pushed down and turned.

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.
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.
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.

2 OPERATION
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.
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.

movement.
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.
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.
3.1 Maintenance
3.2 Inspection
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
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.
5 SPARE PARTS
Spare parts and spare part lists are available from FFS upon request.
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.
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.

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.
