Elkhart Fire Fighting Equipment

Like sentries, these remote controlled monitors are engineered to stand guard over industrial complexes, refineries, chemical plants, loading docks, tanker berthings, railroad yards, offshore platforms, etc. The instant the monitor is needed for fire protection or actual firefighting, it can be activated from a remote location where the operator can turn on the water supply; direct the monitor vertically or horizontally; and change the stream pattern of the nozzle; all from a safe distance. There is even an option that allows the monitor to oscillate automatically, thus freeing the operator to tend other duties.

The system includes a monitor with nozzle, a valve box complete with hydraulic pump/motor/tank unit, and a control box with complete panel of function switches. Both the valve box and control box are available in either stainless steel NEMA 4X for unclassified areas or cast aluminum NEMA 7/4 for Class 1, Group B, C & D, Division 1 area classification. Several monitors can be operated from one control station with the option of a secondary control station at another remote location. The system is flexible enough to fit your requirements.
