Any combination of left, right, up, or down can be used to achieve motion in both
horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously. If the left and right buttons are pressed
at the same time, the monitor will stop all motion. To resume motion, release both
buttons and repress the desired direction button. This is also true for the up/down and
fog/stream commands.
The handheld remote transmitter has a power saving feature that turns the transmitter
power off if no signal is sent for 5 minutes. Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button until
the Power LED illuminates to reactivate the transmitter. The “Low Battery” LED will
flash slowly when the battery voltage drops below a predetermined level. When the low
battery LED flashes rapidly, the batteries are nearly discharged and should be replaced
immediately.
D. Oscillation Function
The 8297 RF monitor has an automatic left/right oscillation function, which can be used
to provide continuous exposure protection or hazard mitigation with no operator input.
The oscillation limits are set using the handheld or truck mount transmitters. To initiate
oscillation:
1. Position the monitor at either the left or the right limit of oscillation.
2. Press and hold the oscillate button.
3. Move the monitor to the other limit of oscillation. Release the direction button
4. Release the oscillate button.
5. Press and release the oscillate button to activate the oscillation function.
The monitor will oscillate between the limits until the oscillation button is pressed again.
Pressing the left or right button on one of the controls will also stop the oscillation.
For safety reasons, once oscillation has stopped the oscillation limits need to be
reprogrammed before it can be re-engaged. The nozzle fog, stream, and discharge
elevation functions can be operated while the monitor is oscillating.
E. Manual Override
The monitor left-right and up-down motion can be controlled manually in the event of
motor failure or loss of electrical power.
Up-Down
Push down on ball knob on crank handle
while turning CCW to raise nozzle, or CW
to lower nozzle. See Figure 19. Note that
manual override crank handle is normally
disengaged and will not rotate with normal
control up-down motion of the nozzle. This
is an important safety feature to prevent
hand or finger injuries.
