Reducer/regulator

Connections for flushing water for the system

Additionally, when the Hale FoamLogix is installed without a Hale provided
selector some operating and system protection features are not available.

Foam Discharge Drains

Drains must be provided from foam capable discharge piping components
to prevent freezing in cold weather. When designing the drain system care
must be taken to prevent contamination of the water system with foam and
the foam concentrate with water. Some multiple drain systems that allow
individual drain lines to communicate also allow foam to bypass the installed
check valves causing contamination of fire pump and the water or foam con-
centrate storage tanks.

Hale offers an optional manual or air-operated 6-port drain valve, Class1
Model MMD6 (p/n: 104961). The valve provides individual drains with a sin-
gle control and is used for applications where a single point for multiple
drains is required. If a Hale MMD6 drain valve is not used, individual drain
lines and valves for foam capable discharge piping is recommended.

Electrical Requirements

The system installer must provide the primary power wire and a ground
strap for the Hale FoamLogix system.

Primary power must be supplied from the main apparatus battery to the
motor connectors on the foam pump and motor assembly. The Hale Foam-
Logix 3.3, 5.0 or 6.5 requires minimum 60 AMP electrical service.

Primary electrical power must be supplied directly from the battery or the
battery master disconnect switch or solenoids to the Hale FoamLogix.

IMPORTANT !

OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MUST NOT BE SUPPLIED FROM THIS
WIRE. DO NOT CONNECT THE PRIMER AND HALE FOAMLOGIX TO THE
SAME POWER WIRE.
