CAFSPro turns ON automatically when the pump is engaged. It must be
turned OFF for plain water operation.

face) to STOP air injection. All capable foam discharges now discharge
foam solution.

black face) to STOP foam injection. All foam capable discharges begin
flowing plain water.
3. To pump water only, or if pumping above 150 psi (10.3 BAR) is required,
press and hold the ON (
i
) button on the CAFSPro (right display) until
the controller counts down 3...2...1 and displays OFF.

pump operation. Compressed air is no longer available.
5. If the pump is taken out of PUMP gear, CAFS becomes available again
when the pump is reengaged.
4.2 SYSTEM PARTS AND COMPONENTS
(See Figure 4-1: ‘Typical CAFSPro System Operator Panel Control Arrange-
ment’ on page 29.)
The CAFSPro consists of several additional parts and components
mounted to a standard Hale midship fire pump.
A Hale paddle-wheel flow sensor detects water flow through the pump pip-
ing. The paddle-wheel sensor accurately monitors water flow into the foam
solution and CAFS manifold.
The FoamLogix system injects the proper volume of foam concentrate into
the water stream to maintain precise control of the concentrate proportion-
ing ratio.
The rotary screw air compressor, provides the compressed air needed for
the CAFS system.
