General Instructions - Akron STYLE 3578 STREAMMASTER Instrucciones De Instalación, Funcionamiento Y Mantenimiento

WARNING: Although the circuit board includes a water-resistant coating, it is important to keep water out of the control
box and logic box. Prolonged exposure to water will cause damage.
WARNING: When the cover of the control box or logic box is removed, check that the O-ring under the cover is intact and free
of dirt and debris .
WARNING: The StreamMaster monitor uses current limiting for both the monitor and nozzle. Use only appropriate Akron
Brass Company nozzles.
WARNING: Do not use the electric controls when the override cranks are being used or are in position for use .
WARNING: Make the connection of the vehicle and auxiliary battery the final step.
WARNING: Replace the identification tags if they should become worn or damaged.
WARNING: DO NOT exceed the maximum pressure or flow ratings of the monitor. Exceeding these ratings may lead to an
injury or may cause damage to the monitor.
WARNING: DO NOT install shutoffs on the outlet of the monitor . Shutoffs increase the potential for pressure surges due to
water hammer, which have the potential to cause an injury or damage to the monitor.
WARNING: The StreamMaster monitor, nozzle, logic box, control box, tether controller, and field adjustable stops are made for
optimal performance. Do not alter in any manner.
WARNING: The StreamMaster monitor was designed for use with the Akromatic nozzle. Use of any other nozzle could affect
the speed or operation of the unit and should be tested before being put into service .
WARNING: The StreamMaster monitor contains moving parts. Keep hand, finger and objects away from pinch
points (Figure 1) .
WARNING: Disconnect power and disable flow before maintenance.
WARNING: Keep all personnel out of the Danger Zone (Figure 2), in front of the outlet of the monitor when the water source is
attached. Dangerous flow velocities can cause serious injury.
WARNING: Not designed for explosive environments .

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• R eview the instructions, wiring diagram, component layout and rotational stops diagram before installing this unit. This unit
operates on 12 volt DC or 24 volt DC depending on the unit chosen. All electrical current flows through the wires. The monitor
does not act as a ground. The wires from the control boxes can be cut to the length for the application plus 10 inches (See STEP 2).
Do not extend the wires from the logic box to the monitor .
• T he optional auxiliary battery is used for power failures and to ensure that the proper voltage and current are maintained at the
logic box when using a smaller gauge wire (12 Awg) for the power leads (vehicle battery). If the optional auxiliary battery is used,
do not extend the auxiliary battery wires. This will ensure that the proper voltage and current are maintained at the monitor for it
to operate properly. The optional battery is automatically recharged by the truck electrical system through the positive
(auxiliary battery) and
ground connections on the circuit board (Figure 6). The vehicle battery connections must have power turned on whenever the
truck is running so that the battery can be recharged properly. If possible, connect the positive (vehicle battery) wire directly to the
main vehicle battery or main master switch. A diode in the logic box will prevent the optional auxiliary battery from feeding
current back into the main truck system.
• N ot recommended for use in salt water applications.
• F or firefighting by trained firefighters only.
• F or use with water or standard fire fighting foams only. After use with foam, flush with fresh water.
• D o not use the StreamMaster nozzle as a forcible entry tool.
• D rain the StreamMaster monitor and nozzle after use to prevent "freeze damage".
• E nsure that the thread in the nozzle swivel matches the thread on the StreamMaster outlet. Do not overtighten the nozzle onto
the Stream Master .
