Recalibration may be required ONLY after major repairs or component
changes are made to the CAFSAttack system or when a different viscosity
of foam concentrates is needed (wetter or dryer).
IMPORTANT !
THERE IS A SMART-SWITCH CONTROLLER FOR EACH AIR CYLINDER.
THEREFORE BOTH NEED TO BE ADJUSTED, ALTHOUGH THEY CAN BE
ADJUSTED DIFFERENTLY FOR INDIVIDUAL CAFS RESULTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, ONE COULD BE SET TO DISCHARGE A “WET” QUICK DRAIN-
ING FOAM BLANKET; WHILE THE OTHER COULD DISCHARGE A “DRY,” SHAV-
ING CREAM-LIKE, FOAM FOR EXPOSURE PROTECTION.
To calibrate a WET consistency...
1. Energize the apparatus to provide power to the operator’s panel.
2. Supply water to engage and operate the pump at an appropriate dis-
charge pressure.
3. Set the CAFSAttack ENABLE switch to the ON (I) position. Also see
Figure 2-3: “CAFSAttack Operator Control Panel” on page 21.
❑ The background indicator lights on the smart-switch controllers illumi-
nate. (See Figure 5-1: “Smart-Switch Calibration Overview,” on page
51.)
❑ The intelli-tank air level display illuminates to show the air-remaining
level in the cylinders. (See Figure 2-3: “CAFSAttack Operator Control
Panel,” on page 21.)
Note: The air level indicator lights are an accumulation of both cylinders. See
separate manual, located at the back of this manual, for additional information.
4. Set the air bottle valve handle to the OPEN (I) position. Also see Figure
2-3: “CAFSAttack Operator Control Panel” on page 21.
5. Press and release the WET Button.
❑ The WET button LED flashes.
❑ The valve position bar graph indicator LEDs illuminate to indicate the
relative position of the discharge valve (the more bars illuminated indi-
cates a WETTER consistency).
❑ The FoamLogix display controller is activated in preparation to flow
foam when water flow is detected.
