Remote Operator Control Panel (ROCP) - It is the same as a Local Operator Control Panel with the
exception that it is not connected directly to the MMCP. It will communicate to the LOCP through a
network connection of either dual Multi Mode fiber optic cable with SC connectors or an Ethernet (Cat5e or
Cat6e) cable. Additional boxes can be added to control specific monitors if desired through this same
method. Configuration is completed by following the procedure in this document.
Network Control Panel (NCP) – This panel is different from the other two panels in that it will have no
manual pushbuttons, joysticks, or monitor function lights. It only contains the Power On/Off switch and the
Power On indictor light much like that of the MMCP. This means that the monitor(s) in the system is
controlled from another external device (example being a HMI, OCP, or RF system). However, it functions
the same as a LOCP as it is hardwired to the monitor’s MMCP and by following the same set up procedures
for a LOCP. This panel is no longer offered.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) – This is the device (Fig. 2.1) that controls the actual operation of
the individual monitors along with the communication to the other monitors in the network if applicable.
The modular system will be set up through this device following the outlined steps in Section II.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) – This is the screen on the PLC (Fig. 2.1) that will be represented
throughout this manual to read or view monitor input information and to do actual set up of parameters to
complete the desired operation of the system.
Monitor Park – This button will initiate the monitor to perform a calibration procedure that will send the
monitor through a series of movements that are required for the correct operation of the monitor. If the
LOCP or the MMCP has been powered down for some reason and powered back up, then the Park (green)
light will flash rapidly. This is an indication that the monitor needs to be recalibrated and parked. Pressing
the Park button will cause the monitor to calibrate and the Park light will flash slowly until the operation has
completed. Once the park procedure has been completed the light will remain on until the monitor is moved
from the ROCP or LOCP by a joystick movement or by starting oscillation. The Park position is an
operator programmed position, in degrees, that will be discussed later in this document. It also is the center
position for the start of the oscillation feature. NOTE: Monitor will not park if the water or foam valves
are open or Auxiliary Device On.
Oscillate – This is the function of the monitor that will cause it to move back and forth on its horizontal axis
determined by the oscillate angle setting. The oscillating light will also come on. The vertical axis remains
stationary but can be changed by moving the joystick in the up or down direction. Moving the joystick in
the horizontal right or left direction, or pressing the stop oscillating button, will cause the monitor to stop
oscillation. Pressing the Start Oscillate button in this position will cause the monitor to start oscillating with
that last position as the center of the oscillation angle. The oscillation angle is an operator programmed
number, in degrees, that will be discussed later in this document.
MMCP Power Off – This is indicated by the Oscillate Light flashing quickly. This gives the operator at
the OCP an indication that the MMCP is not functional or that the internal power supply is not active.
However if the power supply is the problem the operator can use the joystick functions but the park and
oscillate functions have been disabled. The Water Valve and Foam Valve (Aux. Device) will also not
function correctly without the internal power supply. Once power has been restored then the Park Monitor
function will start and the park sequence will need to be activated.
