System Components -
In this section, the reader will be introduced to the various
EXM system components.
The reader’s specific EXM system may not include all components shown in this section.
A.
EXM Monitor – 7161
The Sidewinder EXM monitor is specially designed for severe duty cycles.
Unique waterway swivel joints utilize stainless steel thrust rods and needle
roller thrust bearings for unprecedented durability in mining, construction,
and wild land firefighting applications. The monitor can be controlled by
hardwired input devices via CAN bus. The monitor may be powered with
12 or 24 Volts.
High power, permanent magnet variable speed DC gear motors that drive
the left-right and up-down monitor motions are NEMA 4 rated for use in
harsh environments. The Sidewinder EXM monitor has a flow efficient 2-
1/4” vaned waterway to minimize turbulence and provide superior nozzle
streams. The water supply connection in the monitor base is a 2-1/2” female
national pipe thread, and the discharge nozzle connection has a 1-1/2”
national hose male thread.
Caution:
All EXM monitor motors are 12VDC. If using a non-
EXM nozzle on the EXM monitor, another 12VDC nozzle should
be used, or nozzle control may not function properly.
B. Joystick Controller - 7030
The Joystick Controller must be used in conjunction with the 7070 OEM
Interface Module. The Joystick Controller can be mounted inside the
apparatus cab to control all monitor functions, including oscillation. The
monitor direction (both vertical and horizontal movement) is changed by
moving the joystick in the desired direction of travel. The up-down and
left-right motions can be operated simultaneously with pressure sensitive
speed, moving the monitor faster or slower depending on how far the
joystick is pushed and pulled. Nozzle pattern can be changed using the
thumb wheel on the top of the joystick. Oscillation is programmed by using
the joystick in conjunction with the oscillate button.
Caution:
Any modification of the Joystick enclosure will destroy the NEMA 4 rating to
that piece of equipment and will void the warranty coverage.
