A QUICK LOOK AT HOW THE SYSTEM WORKSThe FoamPro 2001 and 2002 systems areelectric motor-driven, flow-based proportioningsystems that measure water flow and then injectthe proportional amount of foam concentrate tomaintain the preset percentage. The basicFoamPro 2001 and 2002 systems are shown inFigure 1. The systems will accurately deliverfrom 0.1% to 3.0% foam concentrate to thefoam injector fitting. The flowmeter measuresthe water flow and sends a signal to the DigitalDisplay Control Module. Another sensingdevice monitors the foam pump output.Constant comparison of these two informationsignals by the computer ensures maintenanceof the desired proportion of foam concentrate atall times based on the water flow rate,independent of any variations in fire pumpintake or discharge pressures. As water flow

Figure 1. FoamPro System Layout

increases or decreases, the foam concentraterate of injection is increased or decreasedautomatically to correspond to the water flow.

Foam concentrate is injected directly into thewater stream on the discharge side of the waterpump. It is then fed as foam solution by themain fire pump into a standard fog nozzle, anair aspirated nozzle, or CAFS equipment.

Since foam is injected on the discharge side ofthe fire pump and check valves are to be usedat installation, contamination of the boostertank, fire pump and relief valve with foamconcentrate is eliminated.

Order optional system components listed inSection 3 to accommodate system design andrequirements.

Installation and Operation Manual

S y s t e m sS y s t e m s2001 and 2002

FOAM CONCENTRATE SUCTION LINEFittings and hoses from the foam tank to theinlet of the foam pump must be used. Use3/4 inch [19 mm] minimum inside diameter orlarger hose dependent on the viscosity of thefoam concentrate. Use components that arerated for 23 in [584.2 mm] Hg vacuum and50 psi [3 BAR[ pressure or greater. Thecomponents must be compatible with all foamconcentrates to be used. Fittings used must bemade of brass, 300 series stainless steel orother corrosion resistant material. Beforeselection of hose fittings, check for compatibilitywith foam concentrates to be used. The use ofclear suction hose is required by NFPA to allowviewing foam priming operations. The foampump must be positioned to allow gravity feedfrom the foam tank(s).

NOTE: When using a Dual Tank System,intake plumbing will be different. Refer toDual Tank System Manual for foam pumpinlet plumbing installation.

FOAM CONCENTRATE DISCHARGE LINEFittings and hoses from the discharge of thefoam pump to the injector fitting must besupplied by the installer. Hoses and fittings of1/2 inch [13 mm] minimum INSIDE diameterrated at 400 psi [28 BAR] minimum workingpressure for the 2001 & 2002, 600 psi [41 BAR]for the 2002HP or maximum discharge pressureof the fire pump, whichever is greater, must besupplied by the installer. Fittings and hosesmust be compatible with all foam concentratesto be used. Use fittings of brass, 300 seriesstainless steel or other corrosion resistant

material compatible with all foam concentratesto be used.CHECK VALVESNFPA 1901 & 1906 requires installation of acheck valve in the foam concentrate injectionline. To prevent foam concentrate flow from thetank due to static head pressure, the foamconcentrate check valve shall have a4 to 6 psi [0.1 to 0.3 BAR] cracking pressureand shall be capable of withstanding thepressures that will be generated in the foaminjection line.

A check valve is also required in all water pipinglocations where foam concentrate could drainback into pumps or other components of the fireapparatus. As a minimum, one check valvemust be installed where the foam solution waterpiping connects to the fire pump discharge.(FoamPro main waterway check valve isrecommended.)

Multiple drains that allow individual drain lines tocommunicate may allow foam to short circuitpast the check valves; avoid this possibility.FoamPro recommends separate drain valve(s)for the discharge piping.

FOAM CONCENTRATE TANK(S)Foam concentrate tank(s) must be supplied tosuit the capacity required for the apparatusapplication. The tank(s) should meet NFPAminimum standards for the design capacity,including filler size, vapor pressure venting anddrain facility. For example, to meet NFPA 1901requirements using 1% AFFF foam concentrate,a 40 gallon foam tank is required.

The FoamPro 2001 and 2002 systems are provided with the major components and accessoriesrequired for installation. Due to differences in chassis and apparatus configurations, the installermust provide pipe, hoses, tubing, wire and fittings to satisfy installation requirements. Thefollowing paragraphs list the specifications for selection of these components. Before beginningsystem installation, read this section thoroughly to make sure the proper components are selected.For detailed system installation instructions, refer to Sections 5, 6 and 7.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTSElectrical wiring must be supplied from the mainapparatus electrical system to the foam pumpbase unit. Use a minimum of 8 AWG wirebecause minimum electrical service is asfollows:

2001 12 VDC requires 41 amps;2002 or 2002HP 12 VDC requires 56 amps;2001 24 VDC requires 22 amps;2002 or 2002HP 24 VDC requires 30 amps.

The electrical power must be supplieddirectly from the battery or the batterymaster disconnect switch.

Braided flat ground straps are required forground connections. The flat straps limit theRFI/EMI interference encountered with radios,computers or other sensitive electronicequipment.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the groundstraps and control cables from the DigitalDisplay Control Module or other FoamProequipment before electric arc welding at anypoint on the apparatus. Failure to do so willresult in a power surge through the unit thatcould cause irreparable damage to the display.

INSTALLATION PLANNINGBecause of the potential differences inapparatus plumbing and foam systemconfiguration, it is not practical to depict exactlyhow each FoamPro unit can best be installedonto a particular apparatus. Figure 2 shows therelative location of the FoamPro systemcomponents. Most of the information containedin the following sections, however, will apply toany situation.

It is recommended that you read thefollowing sections thoroughly beforebeginning installation of the FoamProsystem. It is also recommended that youspend time planning and designing whereand how you intend to install this unit in theapparatus before beginning the actualinstallation.

Determine the locations of the components tobe installed such as; foam tank(s), foam pumpand flowmeters. Try to place components inlocations that require the least amount of hosesand fittings.

Locate the foam pump unit in an area that isprotected from road debris and excessive heatbuildup. Since the master power switch and

Figure 2. System Component Location

CAL/INJECT valve are located on this unit, thefoam pump unit should be installed in anaccessible compartment located in the vicinity ofthe operators panel.

The foam pump unit should be located belowthe discharge of the foam tank(s) to provide forgravity feed to the foam pump. Locate the foamtank(s) where the refilling can be done with5 gallon (19 liter) containers and other methodssuitable to the end user. Most water tankmanufacturers will build the foam tank(s) intothe booster tank. When specifying integral foamtank(s), make provisions for installing the lowtank level sensor as well as foam suctionconnections and tank drainage.

Determine a location for the Digital DisplayControl Module on the operator panel of theapparatus. Consider the routing path for thecontrol cables from the Digital Display ControlModule to the foam pump unit and flowmeter(s).If necessary, order longer or shorter cableassemblies to suit the location demands.

CAUTION: Never attempt to cut or lengthen themolded cables.

PLUMBING COMPONENT INSTALLATIONThe following diagram (Figure 3) provides recommended guidelines for the location of the systemcomponents that handle water, foam concentrate and foam solution. Note that additional optionssuch as dual tank systems, multiple flowmeters, etc., are covered by individual manuals includedwith those systems; consider potential interferences.

Figure 3. FoamPro 2001/2002 System Piping

A. FOAM PUMP/MOTOR BASE ASSEMBLYThe foam pump/motor base assembly must bemounted in a horizontal position (See Figure 5).The base of the foam pump must be anchoredto a surface or structure that is rigid and ofadequate strength to withstand the vibration andstresses of apparatus operation. Figure 4provides the mounting dimensions for theFoamPro 2001 and 2002 foam pump/motorbase assembly. It is required to use flexiblehose when making the hose connections to theFoamPro 2001 and 2002. DO NOT hard pipethe system.

Position the foam pump so the circuit breaker/on-off switch is easily accessible. Also,consider access requirements for checking and

changing the oil in the crankcase of the foampump. Be sure the foam concentrate hoses canbe properly routed to the inlets and outlets onthe foam pump. Foam concentrate shouldgravity feed to the foam pump inlet from thefoam tank(s). The foam pump/motor baseassembly must be mounted in an area to avoidexcessive exhaust system heat buildup.

Protect the hoses and wiring from chafing andabrasion during operation of the foam system.

Protect the foam pump base unit from excessiveroad spray and debris. Although the system issealed and designed to be resistant to the harshenvironment of fire fighting apparatus, a

protected location with easy operator access isthe ideal installation location.

After the foam pump/motor base assembly ismounted, remove the shipping plug in the oil fillhole on the foam pump gear case and replace it

with the vented oil dipstick (see Figure 6).Check the oil level by removing the venteddipstick; make sure the oil level is to the fullmark on the dipstick. Proper oil level is alsoindicated when the oil is visible in 1/2 to 3/4 ofthe oil level sightglass. Add SAE 30 weightnon-detergent oil if required. Replace thedipstick when the oil level is correct.

B. DISCHARGE RELIEF VALVEThe discharge relief valve is installed on theoutlet port of the foam concentrate pump. It isprovided to protect the foam pump fromexcessive pressures. The relief valve is factoryset at 400 psi [28 BAR] (600 psi [41 BAR] for2002HP model).

Figure 6. FoamPro 2002 FoamPump Oil Level Check

Figure 4. FoamPro 2001/2002 Mounting Dimensions

C. CAL/INJECT VALVEThe CAL/INJECT valve is mounted on thedischarge side of the foam proportioner. Thisvalve shall be accessible by the pump operatorduring normal operations. The valve is a 3-waydirectional valve that selects where the output ofthe foam pump will go.

Check to make sure the valve is installedproperly. Look at the ports as you move thehandle, the flow should go from the center portto each of the other ports.

The hose and fittings from the INJECT port tothe foam injector fitting should have 1/2 inch[13 mm] inside diameter and be rated at400 psi [28 BAR] for 2001/2002 models or 600psi [41 BAR] for 2002HP models minimumworking pressure or maximum dischargepressure of the fire pump.

Installation and Operation Manual

S y s t e m sS y s t e m s2001 and 2002

The hose from the CAL/FLUSH port may have alower pressure rating since it is plumbed to theatmosphere and will not receive high pressures.This hose is used for calibrating the foam pump,pumping the concentrate into a container toempty the tank or to assist in priming of thefoam pump. The hose from the CAL/FLUSHport must be long enough to reach a containeroutside the truck. This hose must be coiled forstorage when not in use.

D. LINE STRAINERThe line strainer that is provided with theFoamPro unit has 3/4 inch NPT female threadedports and is to be installed on the inlet port sideof the foam pump. The hose from the foam tankshould have adequate wall stiffness to withstandthe vacuum of the foam pump while it isoperating (23 in. [584 mm] Hg and 50 psi[3 BAR]).

NOTE: If a pressurized water flush from one ofthe discharges is incorporated, the plumbing andline strainer exposed to this pressure must berated at or above the operating pressure of allother discharge plumbing components. (400 psi[28 BAR] minimum) (600 psi [41 BAR] for2002HP models).

E. FLOWMETER(S)The FoamPro System 2001 and 2002 aredesigned to accept flow reading signals from theFoamPro paddlewheel style flowmeter.

Proper flowmeter sizing is critical to systemaccuracy. Select a flowmeter size based onactual flows required, not standard pipe sizes.Refer to the installation drawing at the end ofthis manual (Page 39) for proper flowmeter sizing.

The flowmeters require that the amount ofturbulence in the pipe being monitored is as lowas possible. Excessive turbulence producesunstable and inaccurate flow readings. Thefollowing installation guidelines will help attainthe best readings and maintain accuracy of theFoamPro system.

Figure 7. Flowmeter Placement

a. A minimum 5 times the pipe diameter ofstraight run pipe without any fittings isnecessary upstream of the flowmeter.10 times is better — the longer the straightrun, the lower the turbulence. Here aresome examples of required straight run:

Pipe RecommendedSize Straight Run Pipe

1-1/2 in. [38 mm].... 7-1/2 to 15 in. [191 to 381 mm]2 in. [50 mm] ........ 10 to 20 in. [254 to 508 mm]2-1/2 in. [64 mm].... 12-1/2 to 25 in. [317 to 635 mm]3 in. [76 mm] ........ 15 to 30 in. [381 to 762 mm]4 in. [100 mm] ...... 20 to 40 in. [511 to 1016 mm]

b. The downstream plumbing of the flowmeteris not as critical; but again, straight runswithout fittings help maintain accurate flowreadings.

c. Do not mount a flowmeter directly afteran elbow or valve. Valves create severeturbulence when they are “gated-down”.

d. Try to mount the flowmeters in a positionthat is accessible for routine inspection andmaintenance.

FOAMPRO PADDLEWHEELFLOWMETERSThe FoamPro paddlewheel style flowmeterfittings are specially designed tees that makeinspection and maintenance of the flow sensoreasy. The threads of the tees are NPT. Inhorizontal runs the tees should be mounted asclose to upright as possible within the rangeshown in Figure 8.

With the use of a MultiFlo interface, two to fourflowmeters may be monitored simultaneously.A single injection point that will supply foamagent to all foam discharge outlets is required.

F. INJECTOR FITTINGThe brass injector fitting ensures foamconcentrate is injected into the center of thewater flow for better mixing. It is designed to fitinto a 1 inch NPT threaded connection on a pipetee that is installed in the discharge piping of thefire pump (See Figure 9). The inlet of the fittingis 1/2 inch NPT female thread and the outerthreads are 1 inch NPT. The injector may alsobe inserted into a weldfitting with 1 inch NPTfemale threads. ItMUST be mounted ina place that iscommon to alldischarges whichrequire foamcapability. This fittingis not used if using a

FoamPro Main Waterway Check Valve. Aseparate injection point is not possible for eachdischarge. If multiple flowmeters are used, theinjector must be installed before the flow metersat the inlet to their common manifold (SeeFigure 10).

Most foam concentrates by nature mix withwater very quickly, so each discharge from amanifold will receive equal concentrations if themanifold is properly designed and installed.

G. CHECK VALVESA 1/2 inch NPT check valve meets NFPArequirements for a non-return device in thefoam injection system. To prevent foamconcentrate flow from the foam concentrate tankdue to static head pressure, the foamconcentrate check valve shall have a 4 to 6 psi[0.1 to 0.3 BAR] cracking pressure and shall becapable of withstanding the pressures that willbe generated in the foam injection line. It isalways a good idea to inject foam at a horizontalor higher angle to allow water to drain away

from the check valve (see Figure 11).This will avoid sediment deposits or theformation of an ice plug.

The check valve in the water way is required tokeep foam solution out of the main pump andallow pump priming without drawing foam intothe piping. See Figure 12.

H. DRAIN LINESOn apparatus with multiple drain lines, thedrains from the foam solution discharge lineshould not be piped into a multi drain systembefore the check valves. The standard multidrain system from most manufacturers will allowcross talk between the drain lines and theapparatus water tank, resulting in contaminationof the water tank with foam. A separate drainsystem should be provided for the foam solutionpiping to prevent contamination of the watertank and fire pump.

Figure 12. RecommendedMidship Pump Installation

I. FLUSHING SYSTEMDepending on the corrosiveness of the foamconcentrates to be used, a flushing system maybe required in the foam concentrate injectionsystem. Generally, all Class B foamconcentrates must be flushed from the systemafter use. Most Class A foam concentrates areless corrosive and therefore may not requireflushing. Fig. 12-4 is a recommended diagramfor a flush circuit. When a dual tank system isinstalled on the apparatus, provision for flushingthe foam concentrate injection system is builtinto the dual tank selector system.

Minimum Length ofNipple for 2-1/2''[158.75 mm] Pipe is12-1/2"[317.50 mm].Refer to the Table onPage 12 for therecommended Nipplelengths for differentpipe sizes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSFollow the system electrical diagram (Figures 13and 14) for proper hookup of each of theelectrical components. Complete molded cablesets are provided with each FoamPro system tomake all the necessary connections. Thecables are color coded and “indexed” so theyonly go in the correct receptacle and they canonly go in one way. DO NOT FORCEMISMATCHED CONNECTIONS. The systemcan only perform when the electrical connectionsare sound, so make sure each one is right.

SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND• DO NOT hook up the main power cables until all

connections are made to each of the electricalcomponents. The last connection should be thepower cable to the foam pump/motor baseassembly.

• Do not mount radio transmitter or transmittercables in direct or close contact with theFoamPro unit.

• Use care when installing molded cables.Count pins or check color codes beforeconnecting. Bent pins caused by improperhookup can prevent proper operation evenwhen cables are reattached properly.

• Before connecting the molded cables,inspect the yellow seal washer in the femaleconnector. If the seal washer is missing ordamaged, water can enter the connector andcause corrosion of the pins and terminalsthat will cause system failure.

• CAUTION: The cables shipped with eachFoamPro unit are tested at the factory withthat unit. Improper handling and forcingconnections can damage these cables,which could result in other system damage.

• CAUTION: Always disconnect the groundstraps and control cables from the DigitalDisplay Control Module or other FoamProequipment before electric arc welding at anypoint on the apparatus. Failure to do so willresult in a power surge through the unit thatcould cause irreparable damage to thedisplay or other system components.

A. DIGITAL DISPLAY/CONTROL MODULEThe Digital Display Control Module is designedto be mounted in the operator panel of theapparatus. The cutout that will be needed in theoperator panel is a 3-7/8 inch [98 mm] diameterhole (the same as a 3-1/2 inch [89 mm] pressuregauge). The display is secured with four #10socket head screws in the four holes in the face(See Page 40 for a mounting template).

For stainless steel and vinylcoated panels, a flat ground strap must beattached from one of the four screws holdingthe Digital Display Control Module in place, tothe frame of the fire truck to ensure adequategrounding (see Figure 15).

B. FLOWMETER(s) CONNECTIONS FOAMPRO FLOWMETERIf a single FoamPro paddlewheel type flowmeteris to be used, a molded cable that connectsfrom the flowmeter to the 3 pin connector on theDigital Display Control Module is supplied.

MULTIFLO FLOWMETER INTERFACEMODULESSee the instructions supplied with the MultiFlointerface for installations requiring multipleFoampro flowmeters. Figure 17 shows theinterconnection of the flowmeters with theDigital Display Control Module.

C. FOAM TANK CONNECTIONSThe foam tank low level sensor must bemounted into the bottom of the foam tank tomonitor low foam concentrate level. The switchhas 1/8 inch NPT threads. Mount the sensor inthe bottom of the foam tank in an uprightposition. Use suitable sealant to preventconcentrate leakage. There must be spaceunder the tank for the cable to be routed to thepump base assembly (See Figure 18). Be surenot to remove the float from the shaft on thesensor assembly. If installed in the reverseposition, "LO CON" and "NO CON" will appearon the Digital Display Control Module, and thesystem will automatically shut down after twominutes, even if there is foam in the tank.

be hung from a long nipple attached to the topof the tank. The nipple should be rigid enoughto withstand the force of sloshing foam when thevehicle is in motion. Make sure the low levelsensor does not contact the side of the foamtank when the vehicle is in motion (See Figure18). Since wire connections must be madeinside the nipple, a 3/8 inch NPT nipple with 3/8

by 1/8 inch NPT reducer at the lower end is theminimum size recommended.

CAUTION: The foam tank low level sensor mustbe utilized to protect the foam pump from dryrunning. Failure to do so will void the warranty.

Connect the sensor wires to the low tank sensorcable (blue coded cable ends). The low tankswitch sensor cable may be shortened orlengthened (use 18-22 AWG). It has pigtails atone end and is not polarity sensitive. Connect

the other cable end to the motor driver box onthe foam pump/motor base assembly (seeFigure 16).

Check low level sensor operation afterinstallation using a powered test light. With nofoam in the tank, the light should be on. If thisis not the case, remove the clip from the end ofthe sensor. Remove the float and reinstall 180o

out of position. Reinstall clip.

A side mount low tank sensor is available to beused if both the top and bottom of the tank isnot accessible (See Figure 18). The side mountlow tank sensor has 1/2 inch NPT threads andthe center of the switch must be locatedapproximately 2 inches [51 mm] from the bottomof the foam tank with the float positioned on topof the switch to move up and down.

NOTE: When the side mount low tank sensorsenses a low concentrate condition, thesystem will operate for two minutes unlessthe foam concentrate level is restored. If thefoam concentrate level is not restored, thesystem will shut down after two minutes.When locating the side mount low tank levelswitch on the foam tank, sufficient foamvolume must be present for two minutes ofoperation. This determination will be madeusing the most frequent foam concentrateinjection rate and water flow.

The side mount low tank sensor must be sealedwith a suitable sealant to prevent concentrateleakage. After installation, check operation ofthe side mount low tank sensor with a poweredtest light. With no foam in the tank, the lightshould be on. If light does not come on, rotatethe side mount low tank sensor until the testlight is on. The float should be allowed to swingup and down freely.

D. DC MOTORProvide adequate electrical power (see thelisting on Page 15) from the battery. Use8 AWG minimum wire directly to the battery orbattery switch. Long wire runs may require6 AWG wire for proper operation.

E. POWER SUPPLYElectrical devices can be easily damaged by aweak or erratic power supply. The FoamPro2001 and 2002 systems are no different — thebetter the power supply, the better the FoamPro2001 and 2002 will perform and survive (see thelisting on Page 15).

ALWAYS connect the primary positive leadfrom the terminal block to the master switchterminal or the positive battery terminal. Use8 AWG or larger chemical resistant wire andprotect with a loom.

Connect the ground lead from the chassis frameor the negative battery terminal to the groundstud located on the FoamPro 2001 and 2002foam pump assemblies. Use the same size wireas the power lead and bore metal connections.

DO NOT connect the main power leads to leadsthat are supplying some other device such as alight bar, siren or primer pumps.

CAUTION: The wires between the terminalblock, diode block and capacitor, as well as theinput power wire, are not protected by thesystem circuit breaker. Make sure these wiresare not damaged or short circuited.

FLOWMETER AND CABLESThe flowmeter tee must be grounded. If metalpiping is used, sufficient grounding may bepresent. However, Victaulic joints, plastic pipeand rubber mounted pumps interfere withproper grounding and an additional groundstrap is required. Connect a braided groundstrap at least 1/4 inch [6 mm] wide from theflowmeter tee to the apparatus frame to ensureproper grounding. A #6-32 UNC tapped hole isprovided on the flowmeter tee for attaching theground strap.

Making round coils of extra control andflowmeter cables in the pump compartment canact as an antenna. While the flowmeter andcontrol cables cannot be shortened, variouslengths of cable are available to minimize the"extra" cable in the truck. (See the parts list inSection 13 for part numbers of different sizecontrol and flowmeter cables.) When routingcontrol and flowmeter cables, avoid routingthem next to antenna cables, radio power linesand radio components. When there is extracable, double the cable back on itself andsecure in a flat bundle with plastic wire tiesinstead of making a round coil (see Figure 20).

FOAM PUMP CALIBRATIONNote: The viscosity of different foamconcentrates may have an effect on the amountof foam concentrate that is injected into thewater stream. When calibrating the foam pump,use the foam concentrate that will be used mostfrequently during normal operations. Whendifferent viscosity foam concentrates are used,the actual concentrate injection may vary by asmuch as 10%. When using the dual tanksystem, each foam concentrate should alwaysbe calibrated individually. Select tank "A" or "B"on the electric selector switch or the manual valve.

Enter the Calibration and Setup Mode using themethod previously described. Press the SELECTbutton to illuminate the light below TOTALFOAM on the Digital Display Control Module.

Turn the “CAL/INJECT” valve pointer to the Cal/Flush position. Place a graduated measurecontainer beneath the outlet from theCAL/INJECT valve that can contain theexpected volume of foam concentrate (minimum5 gallons [19 liters]). If an accurate calibratedcontainer is not available, a scale can be usedto weigh the foam concentrate pumped. Thetotal volume of foam concentrate can then becalculated from this weight.

Start the FoamPro foam pump by pressing thered “FOAM” button. The foam pump will

operate and pump foam concentrate into thecontainer. Stop the foam pump and measureprecisely the amount of foam concentrate collected.

Adjust the reading on the Digital Display ControlModule to the volume pumped by pressing the or button. Repeat the procedure two tothree times to verify calibration.

If using a dual tank system, switch to the othertank by using the electric selector switch or themanual valve. Repeat the calibrating procedureusing the method previously described.

Turn the CAL/INJECT valve back to “INJECT”position.

Exit Calibration and Setup mode as previouslydescribed. REPLACE THE COVER SCREW.The system is now calibrated to the actual flowfrom the foam pump.

These Setup and Calibration procedurescomplete the adjustment of the system. TheFoamPro system is now ready to be placed inservice.

If this system is installed and calibrated by anapparatus manufacturer or dealer, the end usermay wish to adjust the default FoamConcentrate Injection Rate and/or SimulatedFlow to their special needs.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVEADJUSTMENTThe pressure relief valve is factory tested andpreset at 400 psi [28 BAR] (600 psi [41 BAR] formodel 2000HP). During normal installation andoperation, the relief valve will not requireadjustment. The following procedures areprovided if adjustment is necessary in fieldinstallation. DO NOT set the relief valve above400 psi [28 BAR].

Perform this adjustment after the foam pumphas been primed.1. Determine the maximum pressure that will

be needed to discharge foam solution. (Forexample: The maximum foam injectionpressure should be approximately 50 psi[3.5 BAR] higher than the maximumoperating pressure as set forth bydepartment policy.)

2. Gather the items required for readingconcentrate injection pressure: a 0-500 psi[0 to 34.5 BAR] test quality gauge, 500 psi[34.5 BAR] hoses and fittings to connect tothe injector line from the foam pump.

3. Disconnect the injector from the foam lineand connect the pressure gauge to it.

4. Screw the Pressure Adjustment Nut on topof the valve all of the way down until it stops.

5. Unscrew the Pressure Adjustment Nutcounterclockwise 10 full turns. This will placeit in a position to relieve at low pressure.CAUTION: DO NOT run the FoamPro 2001or 2002 system more than one minute deadheaded against the pressure gauge becausethe foam pump will overheat.

6. Operate the foam pump as described in theFoam Pump Priming Check Section.

7. While the foam pump is running, slowlyscrew the Pressure Adjustment Nut downclockwise until the desired pressure isreached. Apply tamper proof type sealant topressure relief valve adjustment nut so that itdoes not move accidentally.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSthe water flowmeter will display the current flowrate of the water.

If water flow requirements exceed the capacityof the pump to deliver foam concentrate, thepump will run at maximum rate and “HI FLO”will flash on the Digital Display Control Moduleso the operator realizes that the systemcapacity is being exceeded.

If the flow decreases such that the requiredinjection rate is less than the lowest rating of thepump, the pump will run at its minimum rate and"Lo.Flo" will flash on the display so the operatorwill know the system is running rich on foampercentage.

DISPLAY INFORMATIONThe five digit display on the Digital DisplayControl Module shows the value of the selecteddisplay function or provides warnings to the

Figure 26. Digital Display Control Module Operation

NORMAL SYSTEM OPERATIONOnce the system has been set up andcalibrated, operation is very simple and iscontrolled by the buttons on the Digital DisplayControl Module (see Figure 26). For setup andcalibration instructions, see Section 9.

When the “FOAM” button is pressed, the “ON”status lamp will illuminate, indicating that thesystem is ready. The “ON” status lamp will flashwhen foam is being injected. The FoamProsystem will monitor the water flows and controlfoam injection at the specified concentrateinjection rate. The system responds tovariations in water flow by increasing ordecreasing the speed of the foam pump. Whenthe "FOAM" button is again pressed, the “ON”status lamp will extinguish, indicating that thesystem is in Stand-By mode and the pump willstop but other system monitoring functions willcontinue.

Eachtime the button is pressed, a new function modeis selected and displayed. A LED lamp abovethe digital display denotes which function isbeing displayed. Pressing the SELECT buttonchanges the value displayed but does not altersystem operation.

The Display Functions include:FlowThe display shows the current flow rate ofwater or foam solution per minute.

Total WaterThe display shows the total amounts ofwater or foam solution pumped. Thistotalized value may be reset. See "ResetFunctions" paragraph.

% (Percent)The display will show the foam concentrateinjection rate setting in the % mode.

Total FoamThe display shows the total amount of foamconcentrate pumped. The value will be inthe same unit of measure as the water flow.This totalized value may be reset. See"Reset Functions" paragraph.

RESET FUNCTIONSThe totalized values for water and foamconcentrate pumped can be cleared frommemory by performing a RESET function.Using the “SELECT” button, select either“TOTAL WATER” or “TOTAL FOAM”. Bypressing and holding both the andbuttons at the same time, the value shown iscleared and displayed as zero.

display will switch to the “%” display and showthe current percentage that is set, in any displaymode. If either button is held down for a periodof 2 seconds, the value will increase ordecrease accordingly. Once released, thedisplay will return to the last selected display.When a reset is performed in the % displaymode (pressing both the and buttons atthe same time) the foam concentrate injectionrate is returned to the default value. The defaultvalue is set during calibration.

DISPLAY MESSAGESSeveral safety features are provided to protectthe foam concentrate pump and the electricmotor.

Low Foam Tank LevelThe pump is interlocked with the foamconcentrate tank level switch. If the tank isempty, the pump will not run for more than2 minutes. A low foam concentrate tank level isdenoted by “Lo Con” blinking on the display.This code will alternate with the normal displayvalue shown. If two consecutive minutes of lowconcentrate level is detected, the display willshow “No Con”, the pump will stop, and thesystem will go to Stand By mode until the foamlevel is restored and the on button is depressed.

Pump ErrorMotor stall protection is provided. In the eventthat the pump motor will not run or stalls for10 seconds, the display will show “ERR.EL” toindicate that the pump is producing no feedbackto the control signal. The system will return tooff status to protect the electric motor andcomponents.

High/Low Flow ConditionWhenever the foam pump cannot reach theselected level an indication of the status willblink in the background as:“Lo.Flo” – Foam delivery rate is below pumpcapability.“Hi.Flo” – The water delivery rate is too high forthe foam pump's capacity.

PRIMING THE FOAM PUMP WHEN FOAMTANK HAS RUN DRY

In some instances, the foam tank may run drywhile operating the FoamPro system. The foampump is designed to pump liquid. When the firepump is running, the foam pump cannot pumpair efficiently against 100 to 150 psi backpressure. To re-establish foam concentrate flowquickly, the following procedure can be used.

MAINTENANCE1. Monthly: Inspect wiring, hoses, flow meters,

and connections for tightness, corrosion,leaks and/or damage.

2. Monthly: Remove and clean the foamstrainer screen(s). Flush as required.

3. Monthly: Check foam pump gear case oillevel and refill as necessary withSAE 30 weight non-detergent oil.

4. Annually: Drain the pump oil and refill pumpcrankcase with SAE 30 weight non-detergent oil. Check for concentrate orwater in the drain oil.

NOTE: Water quality, flushing & storagetechniques, environment and usage may havean effect on your maintenance schedule. Toensure equipment longevity, it is recommendedto adjust your schedule accordingly.

CAUTION: Release all pressure and drain allconcentrate and water from the dischargesystem before servicing any of its componentparts.

Figure 27. Foam Pump Oil Level Check

1. Turn the CAL/INJECT valve to the Calibrateposition.

2. With the fire pump flowing water from foamdischarge and the FoamPro on observe thehose from the CAL/INJECT valve.

3. When foam concentrate flows from the unitturn the CAL/INJECT valve back to theINJECT position. The pump is now primedand ready for normal operation.

4. If the fire pump is not running, place theFoamPro into the simulated flow mode andproceed with above steps.
