The primary power connection must be made so that power is supplied to
the Hale FoamLogix when the main apparatus electrical system is ener-
gized and the pump is in gear. Use of a solenoid with a 150 AMP peak, 85
AMP continuous rating is recommended. (See Figure 3-1: “Recommended
Relay Wiring Schematic,” on page 55.)

Note: This ensures immediate operation when the operator places the apparatus
in PUMP mode, and to prevent battery power drain when the apparatus is not
running.
With Hale FoamLogix 3.3, 5.0
or 6.5, cable lengths up to 6’
(1.8 meters) require a mini-
mum 4 AWG type SGX (SAE
J1127) battery cable. (See
Table 3-2: “Primary Power
Cable Sizes.”) Use solder lugs
on cable ends with a 5/16”
(8mm) diameter hole.
When planning cable runs
make sure the primary wires
are routed by the shortest most direct route.
A braided flat ground strap connected to the apparatus chassis is recom-
mended for the ground connection. This limits the RFI/EMI interference
encountered with radios, computers or other sensitive electronic equipment.
