PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION All personnel who may be expected to use this equipment must be thoroughly trained in its safe and proper use. Before flowing water from this device, check that all personnel (fire service and civilian) are out of the stream path. Also, check to make sure stream direction will not cause avoidable property damage. Become thoroughly familiar with the hydraulic characteristics of this equipment, and the pumping system used to supply it.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS MONITOR Copperhead RF Monitor – 8593-04 The 8593-04 Copperhead RF is a brass monitor that contains a central vane inside the waterway to minimize large-scale turbulence and provide superior fire streams. The water supply is provided through the monitor base by a 3” 150# flat faced flange. The discharge nozzle connection is a 2½“ National Hose Thread.
CONTROL Handheld RF Controller – 81282001 A sealed handheld RF transmitter contains all the controls necessary for operation of the monitor. The handheld remote allows the operator to direct the monitor from a significantly improved point of view. With the wireless remote, the operator can view the stream from the side and confirm that the stream is hitting its target. Separate push button switches are provided for up, down, left, right, fog, and stream functions.
MONITOR ACCESSORY Primary OEM RF Transmitter – 81353101 The OEM RF transmitter allows the monitor installer to use their switching arrangement while still having the benefit of the W.E.T. It has all of the same features of the Primary Panel Mount RF controller, but has a wiring harness for the installer to connect to the switches. Comes with 10 foot coax antenna cable and (1) 90° antenna and (1) straight antenna.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Overview: Step 1 – Mount and Wire All System Components Step 2 – Communication Address Step 3 – Program Settings Step 4 – System Programming Installation Step 1: Mount and Wire All System Components Warning: It is up to the system designer to appropriately handle the open circuit condition of the stow signal. In the open circuit mode there is no source to turn off the stow signal load, which may lead to erroneous signal indications if not handled properly.
Monitor Wiring – Place a 10A fuse between the red lead (pin C) of the monitor and a switched positive power lead on the vehicle. Attach the black lead (pin A) from the monitor base to the vehicle ground. The white lead (pin B) is for an optional “Stow Indicator” which could be attached to a relay or LED supplied by the OEM. The circuit switches in a ground, and is limited to 250 mA of current when the monitor is in a non-stowed position.
Secondary Switch Box Control – Using the Secondary Control Switch Box template in the Component Mounting Templates section, mark the mounting holes on panel or bracket. Drill two 9/32” diameter holes in panel or bracket. Remove ¼-20 screws and lock washers from back of box. Insert screws with lock washers through backside of panel or bracket into mounting holes in box. Tighten screws.
Installation Step 3: Program Settings RF Receiver/Control Module Settings – The SW1 switch is used for choosing the monitor programming. The SW4 switch has been factory preset for position “E”. This setting allows for slow horizontal travel for the first 2-3 seconds before switching to full speed. Changing to setting “8” allows full speed at all times (see Table 3, reference 4 on page 16).
Installation Step 4: System Programming Programming Horizontal Limits & Stow Position The 8593-04 Copperhead RF monitor must show H2 limits relative to mounting flange. The monitor is shipped from the factory with horizontal limits at 180° (90° left and 90° right of the straight ahead position). The vertical limits are provided by magnets placed in the monitor at assembly and are not adjustable. NOTE: All programming steps must be completed. Otherwise the changes will not be stored to permanent memory.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Normal Operation The 8593-04 Copperhead RF Monitor uses the standard Left/Right, Up/Down, and Fog/Stream commands to provide stream direction and pattern adjustments. With SW4 in position “E”, The controller provides an automatic speed adjustment to allow the user better directional control. During normal operation, the horizontal motor will move slowly for about two seconds before accelerating to full speed.
The monitor will oscillate between the limits until the oscillation button is pressed again. Pressing the left or right button on one of the controllers will also stop the oscillation. For safety reasons, once oscillation has stopped the oscillation limits need to be reprogrammed before it can be re-engaged. The nozzle fog, stream, and discharge elevation functions can be operated while the monitor is oscillating. NOTE: It is recommended to set oscillation between the maximum left/right travel limits.
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION Monitor Preventive Maintenance The complete monitor and control system should be inspected during each apparatus check. Careful inspection for damage to the monitor or nozzle is especially important after use in emergency operations, and after extended use in salt water environments. Operate all possible functions to ensure that each works normally with each controller. Flow water to check the nozzle pattern.

MONITOR AND NOZZLE HYDRAULIC DATA Interpreting Flow Data The following graphs offer the pressure losses for the monitor (and other devices) in terms of Total Static Pressure Drop. This Total Static Pressure Drop can be found by measuring the difference between the static inlet pressure and the static outlet pressure. The static pressure at either of these points can be found using a simple pressure gauge. An illustration of this method can be seen below.
