D. RF Transmitters
The monitors use W.E.T. (Wireless Electronic Technology), an innovative wireless radio link, to
send all commands from the RF transmitters to the RF Receiver/Control Module. With
conventional electrically controlled monitors, the operator is forced to aim the discharge stream
from directly behind the monitor or from the pump panel. An expensive and seldom used option
is a tethered remote control. Here wires impede the maneuverability of the operator. This new
wireless link gives the operator the ability to view the discharge stream and target from virtually
any point of view from up to ¼ mile away from the monitor.
1. 81282001 Handheld Transmitter
(Figure 8) A sealed handheld remote contains all the
controls necessary for operation of the monitor.
The handheld remote allows the operator to direct
the monitor from a significantly improved point of
view. With the wireless remote, the operator can
view the stream from the side and confirm that the
stream is hitting its target. Separate push button
switches are provided for up, down, left, right, fog,
and stream functions. The handheld remote has
user selectable frequency and security codes that
allow multiple monitors to be operate on the same
fire ground at the same time without interference.
The remote has an automatic power down feature
that will shut down the power after 5 minutes of no
activity. As an additional power saving feature the
radio signal is only transmitted while a button is
pushed. The handheld remote case has a NEMA 4
rating.

2. 81327101 Primary Panel Mount
Transmitter
(Figure 9) The fixed transmitter sends signals to the
monitor via an encoded radio signal, requiring no
wires between the transmitter and the monitor. It is
powered by the vehicle electrical system. The
faceplate is intended for a flush mount onto the
pump or aerial ladder control panel. Separate sealed
push button switches are provided for up, down, left,
right, fog, and stream functions. This fixed
transmitter provides a two-button Stow feature. It
will override any secondary transmitters, allowing
the apparatus operator to retain ultimate control over
the monitor. Comes with 10 foot coax antenna cable
and (1) 90° antenna and (1) straight antenna.
