VII. MAINTENANCE
A. Preventive Maintenance (Each apparatus check or every 6 months)
1. The complete monitor and control system should be inspected during each apparatus check. Careful
inspection for damage to the monitor, and nozzle is especially important after use of the Monitor.
a. Operate all possible functions from each control point.
b. Flow water to check the nozzle pattern. If the pattern is disrupted, clear any debris.
SIDEWINDER™ EXM nozzles have a manual flush feature to clear the debris. If the obstruction
still remains, remove the nozzle and check for debris lodged between the nozzle stem and body.
c. During the nozzle flow testing, inspect monitor swivel joints for leaks.
d. Inspect all exposed wiring for signs of damage.
e. Check for proper lubrication and grease as necessary.
2. The waterway has two grease zerks that must be routinely greased. During each apparatus check or
every six months, be sure to check and grease the waterway to maintain optimal performance.
3. The pressure gauge fixed to the waterway may become less accurate over time, and should be checked
and calibrated every six (6) months or per department procedures. Remove if necessary.
Note: Although grease fittings are provided for the up/down and left/right gear cases of the monitor, routine
greasing might not be necessary. If the monitor is exposed to high level radiant heat for a prolonged period, it
may be possible for the factory grease to thin and run out of the gear cases. In such an event, fresh grease should
be applied.
It is recommended that Mobilith AW2 grease be used to lubricate the monitor gearing and waterway.
Caution: DO NOT use a high pressure spray to clean the SIDEWINDER™ EXM or any input
controllers. Using a high pressure spray can damage seals and lead to serious damage to electrical
components.
B. Understanding the Module LEDs
1. Monitor Controller LEDs
a. When the monitor is first powered up all LEDs turn on for approximately 1 second. Then only
the power LED remains illuminated
b. When the monitor controller receives a right/left command then the horizontal LED illuminates.
c. When the monitor controller receives an up or down command then the vertical LED illuminates.
d. When the monitor controller receives a fog or stream command then the nozzle LED illuminates.
e. When in the user configuration mode, the blue status LED will illuminate
2. Input Controller LEDs
a. When the monitor is first powered up all LEDs turn on for approximately 1 second. Then only
the power LED remains illuminated
b. When any monitor/valve command button is pressed the blue power LED will flash rapidly.
c. After 5 minutes of inactivity the input controller will go to sleep. Pressing any button will exit
sleep mode and return the controller to normal operation.
d. Within 15 minutes of inactivity the input controller will hibernate. Press AUX to turn on, and
hold AUX to turn off the controller.
