Note: This is not necessarily an indication of

apparatus battery level or condition. It is only

an indication of adverse operating conditions.

For instance a bad battery cable can cause

the system to see low power even though the

batteries are fully charged.

In either case the system continues to run. If

conditions deteriorate to the point of potential

system damage, due to heat or low power, the

system returns to the STANDBY mode and

the error message remains until

ON is pushed

again.

PRIMING THE FOAM PUMP

(When the Foam Tank Runs Dry)

In some instances, the foam tank may run dry

while operating the Hale FoamLogix system. The

foam pump is designed to pump liquid. When the

fire pump is running the foam pump may not pump

efficiently against 100 to 150 PSI (7 to 10 BAR)

back pressure. To re-establish foam concentrate

flow quickly the following procedure is used.

Turn the bypass valve to the
