Park – This operation will take the monitor through the following steps:
• The Horizontal axis will move left in direction until it hits the hard stop (7°) and will remain there until
the calibration time gets to zero it will then move right to the horizontal park position. (Range 7° to
354°)
• The Vertical axis will move all the way up (0°) until it hits the hard stop and will remain until the
calibration timer gets to zero. It will then move down to 130º for 10 seconds to drain any excess water
in the monitor. Once 10 seconds is over it will then move to the vertical park position. (Range 0° to
135°)
• The Nozzle will move to full fog immediately. This is done in case the water valve is opened and the
monitor starts to move. This helps reduce possible injury to personnel in the area if the nozzle were at
straight stream. Once the vertical axis is pointing the nozzle upwards it will go through an exercise
routine and then stop at the nozzle park position. (Range 0° to 90°)
Once all three axes are stopped and in the programmed park position the Parked pilot light will turn on.
Monitor Automatic Exercise Feature – This feature was added, in PLC program MODULAR-A4 or
greater, to make sure that the monitor gets periodic movement while installed electrically in the field.
Movement for this feature is minimal unless the monitor has been moved by the joysticks or the oscillate
function and not put back in the programmed “PARKED” position. If this is the case then the monitor will
go to the actual park position automatically. The actual time this feature is activated is approximately 24
hours after the last time the monitor was parked. Once again the movement is automatic and there to make
sure the motors are exercised periodically.
NOTE: If the monitor has been moved by way of the hand wheels then the actual position may not be
accurate with that of the programmed parked position. If this is the case activate the park sequence, press
the park button, to recalibrate and correctly position the monitor according to the programmed data. This
will also reset the exercise timer and the monitor will then exercise approximately 24 hours from that time.
It is good practice to run the park sequence anytime the monitor has been moved by way of the hand wheels.
