❑
❑ Always disconnect the power cable, ground straps, electrical wires and
control cables from the smart-switch control unit or other CAFSAttack
system equipment before electric arc welding at any point on the appara-
tus. Failure to do so could result in a power surge through the unit that
could cause irreparable damage.
❑ Before connecting the cord sets and wiring harnesses, inspect the seal
washer in the female connectors. If the seal washer is missing or dam-
aged water can enter the connector causing pin and terminal corrosion.
This could cause possible system failure.
❑ DO NOT operate or fill (recharge) the air system at pressures higher than
the maximum rated system pressure of 4,500 PSI (310 BAR), as stated
on the WARNING placard located near the air cylinders.
If the “Rupture Disk” has ruptured due to over pressurization, the reason
for the rupture mst be determined and the cylinders must be visually
inspected and re-hydrostatic tested as stated in regulation 49 CFR
178.37. Failure to comply and re-certify the cylinders could lead to cata-
strophic failure resulting in serious bodily injury, sickness or death.
❑ DO NOT operate the CAFS system at pressures above 150 PSI (10
BAR), as stated on the WARNING placard on the operator’s panel.
❑ Use only piping or tubing, hose and fittings which are rated at or above
the maximum pressure rating at which the CAFSAttack system operates.
Also see heading “Air Bottle Cylinders” on page 12.
❑ Relieve all system pressure, then drain all foam concentrate and water
from the system before servicing any of its component parts.
❑ DO NOT mount a radio transmitter or transmitter cables in direct or close
contact with the CAFSAttack smart-switch controllers. Direct contact
could cause electrical interference and disrupt controller operations.
❑ DO NOT connect the CAFSAttack main power lead to small leads that
are supplying some other device, such as a light bar or siren. The
CAFSAttack requires
?? AMP minimum current.
❑ When operating the CAFSAttack and the Hale FoamLogix in Simulated
Flow Mode an outlet for the foam concentrate must be provided to pre-
vent excessive pressure buildup in the discharge piping or hoses.
❑ Foam tank “low level” sensors must be utilized to protect the foam pro-
portioner from dry running. Failure to use “low level” sensors voids the
warranty.
❑ Make sure the foam tank and foam concentrate suction hoses are clean
before making the final connection to the foam pump. If necessary, flush
the tank and hoses prior to making any connections.
❑ Also review your specific FoamLogix Installation and Operation Manual
(FoamLogix Model 2.1A, Hale p/n: 029-0020-74-0; FoamLogix Model 3.3
and 5.0, Hale p/n: 029-0020-68-0) for additional safety information.
