ISO 9001 CERTIFIED

❑ All electrical systems have the potential tocause sparks during service. Take care toeliminate explosive or hazardousenvironments during service and/or repair.

❑ To prevent system damage or electricalshock the main power supply wire is the lastconnection made to the Hale Foamproportioner distribution box.

❑ Release all pressure then drain allconcentrate and water from the systembefore servicing any of its component parts.

❑ Do not operate system at pressures higherthan the maximum rated pressure.

❑ Use only pipe, hose, and fittings from thefoam pump outlet to the injector fitting, whichare rated at or above the maximum pressurerating at which the water pump systemoperates.

❑ Hale Foam proportioning systems aredesigned for use on negative ground directcurrent electrical systems only.

❑ Do not mount radio transmitter or transmittercables in direct or close contact with theFoamLogix control unit.

❑ Before connecting the cord sets and wiringharnesses, inspect the seal washer in thefemale connector.

If the seal washer is missing or damaged,water can enter the connector causingcorrosion of the pins and terminals. Thiscould resulting in possible system failure.

❑ Always disconnect the power cable, groundstraps, electrical wires and control cablesfrom the control unit or other Hale Foamsystem equipment before electric arc weldingat any point on the apparatus

Failure to do so could result in a power surgethrough the unit that could cause irreparabledamage.

❑ DO NOT connect the main power lead tosmall leads that are supplying some otherdevice, such as a light bar or siren.

The Hale FoamLogix, Model 2.1A requires40 AMP minimum current.

❑ When operating the Hale FoamLogix inSimulated Flow mode, an outlet for the foamconcentrate must be provided to preventexcessive pressure buildup in the dischargepiping or hoses.

❑ Make sure the foam tank and foamconcentrate suction hoses are clean beforemaking final connection to foam pump. Ifnecessary flush tank and hoses prior tomaking connection.

❑ Check all hoses for weak or worn conditionsafter each use. Ensure that all connectionsand fittings are tight and secure.

❑ Ensure that the electrical source of power forthe unit is a negative (–) ground DC system,of correct input voltage, with a reserveminimum current available to drive thesystem.

❑ The in-line strainer/valve assembly is a lowpressure device and WILL NOT withstandflushing water pressure in excess of 45 PSI(3 BAR).

❑ When determining the location of Hale Foamsystem components keep in mind piping runs,cable routing and other interferences thatcould hinder or interfere with proper systemperformance.

❑ Always position the check valve/injector fittingat a horizontal or higher angle to allow waterto drain away from the fitting. This avoids thepossibility of sediment deposits or theformation of an ice plug.

❑ The cord sets provided with each Hale Foamsystem are indexed to ensure correctreceptacle installation (they insert one wayonly).

When making cord set connections DO NOTforce mismatched connections as damagecan result in improper system operation.

❑ Make sure all connections are sound, andthat each connection is correct.

❑ The cables shipped with each Hale Foamsystem are 100% tested at the factory withthat unit. Improper handling and forcingconnections can damage these cables whichcould result in other system damage.

DescriptionISO 9001 CERTIFIED

❑ Foam concentrate injection percentage

❑ Total foam concentrate used, dependingon the display mode selected.

A bar graph indicates the approximate systemcapacity being used. Adjustment of the foamconcentrate injection rate is accomplished bypressing the appropriate button.

The control unit display also warns the operator iferrors or abnormal operations occur in thesystem, such as low foam level.

WATER FLOW SENSOR

Foam concentrate injection rate is controlled by acomputer chip in the control unit for accurate,repeatable, reliable foam concentrate injection.A water flow sensor constantly monitors waterflow through the discharge piping. The informa-tion from the flow sensor is provided to thecontrol unit by a shielded cable. When theFoamLogix system is activated at the control unita signal is sent through the control cable to thedistribution box to begin foam concentrate injec-tion. The distribution box then provides power tothe electric motor. As the motor rotates thepump, foam concentrate flows through the foampump discharge to the one piece check valve /injector fitting into the water discharge stream.

Note: All Hale FoamLogix Foam systemsrequire a flow sensor for operation.

FEED BACK SENSOR

A feedback sensor in the foam pump dischargemeasures foam concentrate flow. The water flowrate and foam concentrate flow rate are con-stantly compared by the computer chip in thecontrol unit.

SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION

The Hale FoamLogix 2.1A Foam ProportioningSystem is a completely engineered, factorymatched foam proportioning system that providesreliable, consistent foam concentrate injection forClass “A” foam operations.

Hale FoamLogix Foam systems accuratelydeliver from 0.1% to 10.0% foam concentratethrough a check valve/injector fitting, directly intothe water discharge stream. It is then fed asfoam solution into a standard fog nozzle, an airaspirated nozzle, or CAFS equipment, throughthe apparatus discharge piping. A properlyconfigured and installed foam system with Halerecommended components virtually eliminatescontamination of the booster tank, fire pump andrelief valve with foam concentrate.

ROTARY PLUNGER PUMP

The heart of the Hale FoamLogix 2.1A system isan electric motor driven rotary plunger pump.The pump is constructed of anodized aluminumand stainless steel and is compatible with mostClass “A” foam concentrates. The pump is closecoupled to the electric motor thereby eliminatingmaintenance of an oil filled gearbox. A reliefvalve mounted on the foam pump and con-structed of brass, protects the foam pump andfoam concentrate discharge hoses from overpressurization and damage.

CONTROL UNIT

The control unit, mounted on the operator panel,is the single control point for the FoamLogixsystem. Pressing the ON button starts foamconcentrate injection. A super bright digital LEDdisplay shows the:

❑ Water flow rate

❑ Total water flow

DescriptionISO 9001 CERTIFIED

The motor speed is constantly adjusted to main-tain the operator selected foam concentrateinjection rate. Since the system is flow based,injection rate remains constant regardless ofchanges in system pressure or the number ofdischarges that are open (within the limits of thesytem).

The maximum rated foam concentrate flow, ingallons per minute, is denoted by the modelnumber. Table 1: “Maximum Foam SolutionFlows” shows the system capacity at variousfoam concentrate injection rates for the HaleFoamLogix 2.1A.

The Hale FoamLogix 2.1A Foam system configu-ration is shown in Figure 2-3: “Typical SystemOverview” on page 20.

LOW PRESSURE STRAINER

A low pressure foam concentrate strainer ismounted at the inlet of the foam pump. Thestrainer protects the pump from debris that mightaccumulate in the foam concentrate tank. Thestrainer /valve assembly has a composite nonme-tallic housing with stainless steel mesh strainerelement and includes a service shut-off valve.

The valve inlet offers 1/2” NPT (13 mm) threads,with a fitting to connect a 1/2” (13 mm) ID foamconcentrate suction hose.

The strainer and valve are low pressure devicesand are designed for installations where thestrainer IS NOT subject to HIGH pressure flush-ing water.

IMPORTANT !

WHEN DETERMINING THE LOCATIONS OF HALEFOAMLOGIX COMPONENTS BEING INSTALLEDKEEP IN MIND PIPING RUNS, CABLE ROUTINGAND OTHER INTERFERENCES THAT COULDHINDER OR INTERFERE WITH PROPER SYSTEMPERFORMANCE.

FOAM PUMP AND MOTORASSEMBLY

Ideally, the foam pump and motor assemblyshould be located in an area that is protectedfrom road debris and excessive heat buildup.The back of a compartment or a compartmentshelf is often an ideal location. The foam system,bypass valve, strainer and shut-off valve arelocated on the foam pump and motor assemblyand access to these components must beprovided.

The foam pump and motor assembly must bemounted below the discharge of the foam tank toprovide for gravity feed to the foam pump. Thefoam tank must be located where refilling can beeasily accomplished with 5 gallon (19 liters) pailsand other methods suitable to the end user.Most water tank manufacturers build the foamtank into the booster tank.

When specifying a foam tank, make sure provi-sions are made for:

❑ Installation of the low tank level sensor

SECTION 3 INSTALLATION

To simplify installation selection, one of the twopackages described in previous Section 2 shouldbe ordered. While either package provides mostof the components required for installation, thefollowing guidelines are offered to assist thesystem installer with a complete systeminstallation.

Carefully review the procedures that follow toensure the system is properly designed. Thissection lists components that have been testedwith Hale FoamLogix and provide the bestsystem performance. Use of the recommendedmaterials and specified parts ensures a virtuallymaintenance free installation.

Differences in apparatus plumbing and foamsystem configuration make it impractical to showexactly how the Hale FoamLogix 2.1A system isinstalled on a particular apparatus. The informa-tion contained in this section, however, applies tomost situations and should be used when design-ing and installing a Hale FoamLogix 2.1A system.A system plumbing and electrical diagram isprovided at the end of this section to assist withinstallation.

Before proceeding with system installation,carefully review the procedures that follow toensure the system is properly designed.

The Hale FoamLogix system is supplied with sixmajor components that must be located on theapparatus.

❑ Foam pump and motor assembly

❑ Control unit

❑ Instruction/system diagram placard

❑ Flow Sensor

❑ Check valve injector fitting

Notes: The flow sensor and check valveinjector fitting may be pre-mounted, if amanifold or pre-configured package isordered.

InstallationISO 9001 CERTIFIED

❑ Foam suction connections

❑ Tank drainage

❑ Proper fill openings, per NFPArequirements.

In addition, a foam tank refill system may berequired. See Hale EZFill system for theseinstallation requirements.

CONTROL UNIT ANDINSTRUCTION/SYSTEM DIAGRAMPLACARD

Determine a location on the operator panel of theapparatus for the control unit and instruction/system diagram placard, if provided. Thesecomponents must be located at the main pumpoperator position in close proximity to each other.Consideration must be given for routing thecontrol cable from the control unit to the distribu-tion box on the foam pump and motor assembly.If necessary, order longer or shorter cable as-semblies to suit the location demands.

INSTALLER SUPPLIEDCOMPONENTS

Due to the many differences in apparatus con-figurations and design requirements the HaleFoamLogix system installer must supply compo-nents, such as,

❑ mounting brackets

❑ piping

❑ hoses

❑ fittings

❑ electrical wiring.

The following guidelines are recommendationsfor selection of additional components for acomplete system installation. These recommen-dations reflect materials and components that aretested extensively with Hale FoamLogix systemsand provide proven reliable performance.

Foam Concentrate Suction Hose

The Hale FoamLogix 2.1A Foam system isprovided with 15’ (4.6 meters) of 1/2” (13mm)ID reinforced PVC foam concentrate suctionhose. The system installer may need tosupply additional fittings and hose from thefoam tank to the inlet of the foam pump.

All components selected transfer foam con-centrate, therefore they must be compatiblewith the foam concentrates being used in thesystem. Hoses for Class A foam concen-trates have minimum 1/2” (13mm) insidediameter.

Hoses for the foam concentrate suction musthave a rating of 23” (584.2mm) Hg vacuumand 50 PSI (3.5 BAR) pressure or greater.

Note: NFPA requires that foam concentratesuction hose be clear to observe foamconcentrate flow during foam pump operation.

Recommended Components

❑ Hose: PVC, Kuriyama Kuri-Tec K3130or K7130 series

❑ Fittings: Hose Barb Type; Brass,Stainless Steel or Nylon

A foam tank shut-off valve is provided. Adrain valve is recommended in the foamtank suction hose to allow, tank drainageand easier priming.

These components are subject to the samematerial characteristics and pressureratings as stated above.

The foam concentrate strainer includes ashut-off valve. This valve is used to shut offfoam concentrate flow to service thestrainer.

FOAMLOGIX, Model 2.1A Class "A" 29Electronic Foam Proportioning System

InstallationISO 9001 CERTIFIED

Foam Concentrate Discharge Hose

The system installer must supply fittings andhoses from the foam pump inject connectionto the check valve/injector fitting inlet. Allcomponents selected transfer foam concen-trate, therefore they must be compatible withthe foam concentrates being used in thesystem.

The foam pump discharge connection is a1/2” (13 mm) compression fitting. The checkvalve injector fitting connection has 1/2” NPTthreads. Hoses and fittings of 1/2” minimumdiameter rated at 500 PSI (34.5 BAR) work-ing pressure or maximum discharge pressureof the fire pump must be used. Fittings andhoses must be compatible with all foamagents to be used.

Recommended Components

❑ Hose: Aeroquip 2580-8 or EquivalentReinforced Hydraulic Hose.

❑ Fittings: Brass or Stainless Steel HoseEnd Crimp or Reusable Type (Aeroquip412-9-8 or Equivalent)

Foam Concentrate Bypass Hose

The foam concentrate bypass hose connec-tion is a 1/2” (13mm) hose barb connection.Hoses and fittings of nominal 1/2” diametermust be used as bypass hose. Since thebypass hose is used for calibration anddraining the system it does not see highoperating pressures; therefore, a hose with alower pressure rating than the inject hosemay be used.

Fittings and hoses used must be compatiblewith all foam agents expected to be used.Use fittings made of brass or 300 seriesstainless steel compatible with all foamconcentrates.

Recommended Components

❑ Hose: Low Pressure Hydraulic Hose orAir Brake Tubing

❑ Fittings: Brass or Stainless Steel

It is recommended that the foam concentratebypass hose be long enough to extend pastthe apparatus running board to reach five (5)gallon (19 liter) containers, making foampump setup and calibration simpler.

Check Valves

Check valves must be installed on the appa-ratus with foam systems to prevent contami-nation of the foam concentrate with water andcontamination of the fresh water tank withfoam. (See Figure 3: “Typical Hale Foam-Logix 2.1A System Layout” on page 20.)

When a Hale FoamLogix 2.1A foam injectionsystem and related components are properlyinstalled the required check valves areintegral parts of the system.

NFPA standards require a check valve in thefoam concentrate injection line at the injectionpoint. The Hale p/n: 038-1790-00-0 IntegralCheck Valve/Injector Fitting, a standardcomponent included with the Hale FoamLogix2.1A system and installed when a manifold kitis ordered, meets these requirements andthreads directly into the foam injection port onHale manifolds.

Check valves must be installed in all waterpiping locations where foam concentratecould drain back into pumps or other compo-nents of the fire apparatus.

As a minimum one check valve must beinstalled where the water piping that suppliesfoam solution connects to the fire pumpdischarge. To more effectively keep foamcontamination out of the fire pump and watertank, double check valves may be used.

30 FOAMLOGIX, Model 2.1A Class "A"Electronic Foam Proportioning System

InstallationISO 9001 CERTIFIED

Separate two check valves by at least 6” to 8”(152 to 203mm) of piping to form a deadzone between the check valves. Individualdrain lines should be used on each checkvalve. The waterway check valves must berated for 500 PSIG (34.5 BAR) test pressure.

Flushing Water Hose

If a Hale and USFS approved Class “A” foamconcentrate is used, flushing of the HaleFoamLogix 2.1A system is not necessary aslong as the system is used periodically.

If a flushing water hose is required to flushthe foam pump, it must have a pressurereducer/regulator that limits the flush waterpressure to 25 to 50 PSI (2 to 4 BAR). Thetubing and fittings used must be compatiblewith foam concentrates being used in thesystem.

To be NFPA compliant, when flushing isrequired, the system installer must provideproper

❑ hoses

❑ shut-off valves

❑ check valves

❑ reducer/regulator

❑ connections for flushing water for thesystem.

Foam Discharge Drains

Drains must be provided from foam capabledischarge piping components to preventfreezing in cold weather. When designing thedrain system care must be taken to preventcontamination of the water system with foamand the foam concentrate with water. Somemultiple drain systems that allow individualdrain lines to communicate also allow foam tobypass the installed check valves causingcontamination of fire pump and the water orfoam concentrate storage tanks.

Hale offers an optional manual or air-oper-ated 6-port drain valve, Class1 Model MMD6(p/n: 104961). The valve provides individualdrains with a single control and is use forapplications where a single point for multipledrains is required. If a Hale MMD6 drainvalve is not used, individual drain lines andvalves for foam capable discharge piping isrecommended.

Electrical Requirements

The system installer must provide the primarypower wire and a ground strap for the HaleFoamLogix system.

Primary power must be supplied from themain apparatus battery to the motor controllerbox on the foam pump and motor assembly.The Hale FoamLogix 2.1A requires minimum40 AMP electrical service.

Primary electrical power must be supplieddirectly from the battery or the battery masterdisconnect switch or solenoids to the HaleFoamLogix.

IMPORTANT!

OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MUST NOTBE SUPPLIED FROM THIS WIRE. DO NOT CON-NECT THE PRIMER AND HALE FOAMLOGIX TOTHE SAME POWER WIRE.

The primary power connection must be madeso that power is supplied to the Hale Foam-Logix when the main apparatus electricalsystem is energized and the pump is in gear.Use of a solenoid with a 150 AMP peak,85 AMP continuous rating is recommended.Figure 5: “Recommended Relay WiringSchematic” on page 31, shows the recom-mended wiring for this relay.

Note: This ensures immediate operationwhen the operator places the apparatus inPUMP mode, and to prevent battery powerdrain when the apparatus is not running.

InstallationISO 9001 CERTIFIED

With Hale FoamLogix 2.1A, cable lengths upto 6’ (1.8 meters) require a minimum 8 AWGtype SGX (SAE J1127) battery cable. (SeeTable 6: “Recommended Power CableSizes.”) Use solder lugs on cable ends with a5/16” (8mm) diameter hole.

When planning cable runs make sure theprimary wires are routed by the shortest mostdirect route.

A braided flat ground strap connected to theapparatus chassis is recommended for theground connection.

This limits the RFI/EMI interference encoun-tered with radios, computers or other sensi-tive electronic equipment.

The ground strap should be a minimum of 1-1/4” (32mm) wide and no longer than 18”(457mm). It must have soldered flat lug endswith 3/8” (10mm) diameter holes. If theground strap length exceeds 18” (457mm), awider ground strap should be used or use adouble thickness of 1-1/4” (32mm) wideground strap.

The ground strap must be connected to thechassis. Use minimum 5/16” (8 mm) diam-eter bolt or mounting to secure the strap.

Power and ground must also be provided forthe display unit using the 2 pin Packardconnector. The power must be a minimum 5amp dedicated and fused circuit. The groundmust be connected to the chassis groundstud and protected from corrosion.

Make sure the ground is attached directly tothe chassis frame and not to the apparatusbody work.

IMPORTANT!

BEFORE MAKING GROUND CONNECTIONSREMOVE ALL PAINT, GREASE AND COATINGSFROM THE CONNECTION AREA. AFTER MAKINGCONNECTION, SEAL AGAINST CORROSION.WHEN A FLAT GROUND STRAP IS NOT AVAIL-ABLE USE A BATTERY CABLE ONE SIZE LARGERTHAN THE POWER CABLE USED.

Although the system is sealed and designed tobe resistant to the harsh environment of firefighting apparatus, a compartment with easyoperator access is recommended.

The base plate of the foam pump and motorassembly must be anchored to a surface orstructure that is rigid and of adequate strength towithstand the vibration and stresses of apparatusoperation.

Figure 3: “Foam Pump Installation EnvelopeDimensions,” on page 20, provides the mountingenvelope dimensions for the FoamLogix foampump and motor assembly.

Position the foam pump so the ON/OFF switchand bypass valve are easily accessible.

When the Hale FoamLogix system is orderedwithout the ADT option, a separate bypass valveis included that may be removed from the foampump and mounted on a truck panel for easieraccess.

When ordered with the ADT option, the operatingknob may be removed from the bypass valveactuator and an extension rod installed to permitremote operation. In either instance, the foampump and motor assembly must be located topermit proper operation of the bypass valve.

Make sure the foam concentrate hoses areproperly routed to the inlet and outlet on the foampump. Foam concentrate must gravity feed tothe foam pump inlet from the foam tank(s). Thefoam pump must be mounted in an area to avoidexcessive engine exhaust system heat or acces-sory heat buildup.

The base of the foam pump and motor assemblyincludes 5/16” (8mm) diameter predrilled mount-ing holes. The apparatus mounting location mustto be drilled accordingly. The base plate may beused as a template to mark mounting hole loca-tion. Also see Figure 8: “Base Plate MountingHole Locations” on page 33.

The Hale mini manifold provides a 1” NPT tapfor installation of the check valve/injectorfitting.

The Hale mini manifold and elbow compo-nents offer 4-3/8” diameter bolt circles andminimize fabrication and pipe work. Afterinstallation, make sure all pipes, hoses andtubes are supported using the best industrypractices.

Figure 11: “Typical 4” Check Valve Installa-tion, Midship Pump” on page 35 shows asuggested installation arrangement usingHale 4” check valves, pipe and Hale 2433flanges.

“Waterway” Check Valves

Check valves in the waterway, rated at 500PSI (34.5 BAR), are required to keep foamsolution out of the main pump and allowpump priming without drawing foam into thepiping.

Note: When the manifold is installed thedrain tap that must be placed in the “down”position and plumbed to an individual drain.

When properly mounted, the flow sensor andcheck valve/injector fitting are on the side ofthe manifold and one of the drain ports is onthe bottom. The flow sensor should pointupwards slightly to allow drainage of waterand sediment. See Figure 12: “Flow SensorTee Position Range,” on page 36.

Optional Hale Piping Components

Hale piping components, such as 3” (76mm)and 4” (102mm) wafer-type check valves,115 and 2433 series flanges, mini manifold,etc. are available to simplify installation ofwater and foam solution discharge piping.

The arrangement shown in Figure 10: “Typi-cal Midship Pump Installation,” on page 35,provides accurate proportioning across awide range for up to four discharges from themini manifold.

Using double check valves, separated by atleast 6” to 8” (152 to 203mm) of pipe beforethe foam injection point, ensures that thepump and tank water remainuncontaminated.

Flow Sensor

The Hale FoamLogix flow sensor is speciallydesigned to enable quick and easy sensorinspection and maintenance. The flowsensor paddle wheel is installed on a saddleclamp or weld fitting to the foam-capabledischarge piping of the apparatus.

In horizontal piping runs, the flow sensor ismounted within the range shown in Figure 12:“Flow Sensor Tee Position Range.”

When selecting a flow sensor, it is importantto consider the minimum and maximum flowrequirements during operation. Refer to theTable 4: “Pipe Size vs. Flow Rate,” on page23, for the proper pipe size for flow rangedesired.

The flow sensor is installed in the pipingbefore the foam concentrate injection point.

This is true in applications where the foamsystem needs to supply a 3” (76mm) deckgun, as well as a 1” (25.4mm) booster line.

Pipe size for flow sensor mounting must beselected to provide accuracy at the lowestflow rate. Mounting the flow sensor in a shortsection of pipe, one pipe size smaller (e.g., 4”to 3”; 3” to 2-1/2”, etc.), provides betteraccuracy at the lower flows.

Refer to the Table 13: “Pipe Size vs. StraightRun” for pipe size. Selecting the next smallerpipe permits reducing the straight pipe runthe required distance prior to the flow sensorpaddle wheel.

In the short length of reduced pipe pressureloss is minimal and there is minimal pressureloss through elbows and fittings. See Figure14: “Typical Reduced Size Sensor PipingArrangement” on page 3-37.

Excessive turbulence in the flow sensor mayproduce unstable and inaccurate flow read-ings. The length of straight pipe prior to theflow sensor must be sufficient to reduce anyturbulence in the pipe.

The following guidelines help attain the bestreadings, and maintain Hale FoamLogixsystem accuracy.

1. A minimum of 6 times the pipe diameterof straight run pipe without any fittings isnecessary prior to the flow sensor paddlewheel. (See Figure 15: “Flow SensorPlacement” on page 38.)

2. The downstream piping length is not ascritical, but there must be a short length ofstraight pipe with no fittings or valvesimmediately after the flow sensor paddlewheel. Two to three times the pipe diam-eter is recommended.

3. Do not mount a flow sensor directlyafter an elbow or valve. Valves createsevere turbulence when they are�gated�.

Saddle Clamp Installation

See Figure 16: �Flow Sensor /Saddle ClampInstallation� on page 38.

Installation of the Paddle Wheel Flow Sensorusing a saddle clamp requires a 1.385� /1.390� (35/35.3mm) bored hole in the pipe.

A minimum of six times the pipe diameter ofstraight run pipe without any fittings is neces-sary prior to the position of this hole.

The flow sensor requires a spacer and eightstainless steel internal hex head screws.These are supplied with the sensor.

Four 6-32 x 1/2� screws attach the spacer tothe saddle clamp mount, and four 6-32 x 3/4�screws with lock washers attach the paddlewheel to the spacer.

CAUTION!

MAKE SURE THE FOAM TANK AND FOAM CON-CENTRATE SUCTION HOSES ARE CLEAN BE-FORE MAKING FINAL CONNECTION TO FOAMPUMP. IF NECESSARY FLUSH TANK ANDHOSES PRIOR TO MAKING CONNECTION.

Check Valve /Injector Fitting

The Hale check valve/ injector fitting, suppliedwith the Hale FoamLogix system, meetsNFPA requirements for a non-return device inthe foam injection system. It prevents backflow of water into the foam concentrate tank.

When properly installed the brass and stain-less steel construction check valve /injectorfitting ensures foam concentrate is injectedinto the center of the water flow for bettermixing.

Note: Always position the check valve/injector fitting at a horizontal or higher angle toallow water to drain away from the fitting.(See Figure 17: “Check Valve Injector FittingInstallation.”) This avoids sediment depositsor the formation of an ice plug.

The check valve/ injector fitting MUST bemounted in a location that is common to alldischarges which require foam concentrate.(See Figure 17: “Injection and bypass HoseConnections.”)

The Hale FoamLogix system DOES NOTpermit a separate injection point for eachfoam capable discharge.

The check valve/ injector fitting has – 1” NPT(25.4mm) threads on the outside, to fit intothe 1” NPT threaded connection on the Halemini manifold a pipe tee, or a 1” NPT weldfitting installed in the discharge piping of thefire pump. (See Figure 17: “Check ValveInjector Fitting Installation.”)

The inlet connection of the check valve /injector fitting uses a 1/2” NPT female thread.

Foam Concentrate Injection Hose

Connect a hose from the foam pump injectport to the inlet of the check valve injectorfitting. (See Figure 18 “Injection and BypassHose Connections.”)

The hose and fittings from the INJECT port tothe check valve injector fitting should haveminimum 1/2” (13 mm) inside diameter andbe rated at 500 PSI (34 BAR) working pres-sure (Aeroquip 2580-10 or equal).

Bypass Hose Connection

A bypass valve is mounted on the dischargeof the foam pump. The bypass handle mustbe accessible by the pump operator duringnormal operations.

The bypass is a 3-way directional valve.Determine which port is the INJECT port andwhich port is the BYPASS. (See Figure 18:“Injection and Bypass Hose Connections.”)

Bypass hose connections are 1/2”. Hosefittings compatible with all foam concentratesmust be provided. The hose from the BY-PASS port is plumbed to the atmosphere.

This hose is used for calibrating the foampump, pumping the concentrate into a con-tainer to empty the foam tank or to assist inpriming of the foam pump. The hose from theBYPASS port must be long enough to reacha container outside the truck.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

Complete system electrical diagrams areprovided at the end of this manual. Refer tothese diagrams for proper installation of eachof the electrical components.

The Hale FoamLogix system is designed tobe installed with a minimum of electricalconnections. Cables are provided with eachHale FoamLogix system to make the flowsensor, control unit and motor controller boxconnections.

The system installer must supply primarypower wire, low tank level sensor wire andflat braided ground straps.

CAUTION!

❑ Review the “Safety” section of thismanual, beginning on page 9, in itsentirety before proceeding with electricalconnections.

❑ To prevent system damage or electricalshock the main power supply wire mustbe the last connection made to the HaleFoamLogix motor controller box. SeeFigure 3: “Typical Hale FoamLogix 2.1ASystem Layout” on page 20.

❑ The cables provided with each HaleFoamLogix system contain shieldedassemblies.

NEVER attempt to shorten or lengthenthe shielded cables.

If necessary order longer or shortercables from Hale Products to suit theparticular installation.

❑ The cables are indexed so they connectto the correct receptacle one way only.When making cable connections DO NOTforce mismatched connections asdamage can result, causing impropersystem operation.

❑ The cables shipped with each HaleFoamLogix system are tested at thefactory with that unit. Improper handlingand forcing connections can damagethese cables which could result in othersystem damage.

❑ The system can only perform when theelectrical connections are sound.

Make sure each electrical connection iscorrect.

❑ Hale FoamLogix systems are designedfor use on direct current, negative (–)ground apparatus electrical systems only.

❑ Do not mount radio transmitter ortransmitter cables in direct or closecontact with the Hale FoamLogix unit.

❑ Before connecting the cables, inspect theO-ring seal in the female connector. If theseal washer is missing or damaged, watercan enter the connector causing corrosionof the pins and terminals resulting inpossible system failure.

❑ The ground strap must be a minimum of1-1/4” (32mm) wide and no longer than18” (457mm).

A longer ground strap must be wider or adouble thickness strap must be used.

Make sure the ground strap is attached tothe chassis frame. Grounding to the bodyIS NOT acceptable.

❑ Always disconnect the power cable,ground straps, electrical wires and cablesfrom the control unit or other HaleFoamLogix equipment before electric arcwelding at any point on the apparatus.

Failure to do so could result in a powersurge through the unit that could causeirreparable damage.

❑ There are no user serviceable partsinside Hale FoamLogix system electrical /electronic components. Opening of thesecomponents (motor controller box orcontrol unit) voids the warranty.

Control Unit

The control unit mounts in the operator panelof the apparatus. The display is secured withfour #8 socket head screws. (See Figure 19“Control Unit Mounting Dimension” for mount-ing dimensions).

The display requires a 7” (178mm) minimumclearance from the back of the operator panelto allow proper connection of cables. Oncethe control unit is mounted on the operatorpanel, attach the 14 pin AMP connector onthe cable assembly to the back of the display.Referring to Figure 20: “Control HarnessConnections” and Figure 21: “System Powerand Ground Connections,” on page 43, makeconnections to the motor controller box andflow sensor.

Notes: Ensure that the panel where thecontrol unit is mounted has an adequateground. For stainless steel and vinyl coatedpanels a ground strap ½ inch (12mm) widemust be attached from one of the four screwsholding the control unit in place to the frame ofthe fire truck to ensure adequate grounding.

Allow a service loop to prevent “pulling” of thewires or connectors during body and frameflex.

Display Unit Power and GroundConnections

Power must be connected directly to thedisplay unit. The power and ground connec-tion is the 2-pin packard connector on the 12”long pigtail of the harness (see Figure 20 onpage 43).

The mating harness provided is approxi-mately 18” long. If additional wire length isrequired, use minimum 16 AWG type SXL, orGXL (SAE J1128) wire.

Connect the black (B) wire to a chassisground stud. Protect the ground connectionfrom corrosion.

Connect the red (A) wire to the power supply.It is recommended to connect the power wireto a minimum 5 AMP, fused, dedicatedcircuit. If a dedicated circuit is not available,the power lead may be connected to a termi-nal where there is not a HIGH current load.Acceptable additional components poweredfrom this terminal include ENFO IV, Gover-nor, Tank Level Gauge, Etc.

PREVENT CORROSION OF POWER ANDGROUND CONNECTIONS BY SEALING THESECONNECTIONS WITH THE SILICONE SEALANTPROVIDED.

Ground Connection

Be sure the Hale FoamLogix system isgrounded to the chassis. Use a short lengthof wide flat ground strap at least 1-1/4” (32mm) wide and less than 18” (457 mm) long toreduce the potential of RFI emitted by thisconnection.

A stud is located on the mounting base toattach the chassis ground strap to the HaleFoamLogix system. (See Figure 21: “SystemPower and Ground Connections” on page43.)

When making the ground strap connectionsmake sure lugs are soldered to the strapends for trouble free connections. Seal allconnection against corrosion.

When the length of the ground strap exceeds18” (457 mm) use a wider strap or a doublethick strap.

CAUTION!

DO NOT CONNECT THE MAIN POWER LEAD TOSMALL LEADS THAT ARE SUPPLYING SOMEOTHER DEVICE, SUCH AS A LIGHT BAR ORSIREN. THE HALE FOAMLOGIX MODEL 2.1AREQUIRES 40 AMP MINIMUM CURRENT.

Primary Power Supply Connection

Make sure adequate switched electricalpower from the battery + terminal to thebattery connection stud on the motor control-ler box is provided. (See Table 6: “Recom-mended Primary Power Cable Sizes” onpage 31.)

Use 8 AWG minimum type SGX (SAE J1127)battery cable directly to the battery, batteryswitch or solenoids for cable runs up to 6’(1.8 meters) long. Longer wire runs mayrequire larger battery cable for proper opera-tion. DO NOT connect power to the sameconnection as the pump primer.

RFI/EMI

Electrically shielded cables for control unitand flow sensor are provided with the HaleFoamLogix system. The cables are 100%electrically shielded to eliminate the potentialproblem of EMI/RFI.

Proper installation of system components andcables along with proper grounding will limitradio interference caused by the Hale Foam-Logix system. Additionally, make sure radiocables and hardware are not located in theimmediate area where Hale FoamLogixequipment is mounted.

Making round coils of extra control and flowsensor cables in the pump compartment canact as an antenna. While the control and flowsensor cables cannot be shortened, variouslengths of cable are available to minimize the"extra" cable in the truck.

When routing control and flow sensor cablestake care to avoid routing them next to an-tenna wires, radio power lines and radiocomponents. When there is extra cable,double the cable back on itself and securewith plastic wire ties in a flat bundle instead ofmaking a round coil. (See Figure 22: “ExtraCable Storage” on page 45.)

USER CALIBRATION

The complete Hale FoamLogix System; foampump and motor assembly, control unit and flowsensor, is tested at the factory before shipping tothe installer. If the Hale FoamLogix system isproperly installed, further calibration IS NOTnecessary until delivery to customer.

The system permits easy checking of componentcalibration to assure accurate operation. Thecalibration process verifies component calibrationand allows adjustments to the flow sensor andfeedback sensor display readings, to allow forvariations in apparatus piping configurations andend user selected foam concentrate.

Default values for simulated flow and foamconcentrate injection rate may be set to end userspecifications while in the calibration mode.

Note: The Hale FoamLogix system iscalibrated at the factory to U.S. measurement(GPM, PSI, GALLONS, etc.) units. Thesystem may be set to Metric units. (Seeheading “English to Metric Units” on page 56.)However, the same unit of measurement mustbe used throughout the calibration process toensure proper proportioning by the system.

Recalibration of the system may be requiredONLY after major repairs or component changesare made to the Hale FoamLogix foam system.Different viscosity foam concentrates may alsorequired recalibration.

FLOW SENSOR CALIBRATION

Verify flow sensor calibration during NFPA/ULtesting of the apparatus and delivery to end user.

IMPORTANT!

AN ACCURATE FLOW MEASURING DEVICE MUSTBE USED TO MEASURE THE WATER FLOW WHENCALIBRATING THE FLOW SENSOR. USE ASUITABLE SIZE, SMOOTH BORE, NOZZLE AND ANACCURATE AND CALIBRATED PITOT GAUGEINSTRUMENT. HAND HELD PITOT GAUGES AREUSUALLY NOT VERY ACCURATE.

MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM IS CALIBRATED WITHAN ACCURATE FLOW MEASURING DEVICE.

1. Determine the water flow normally ex-pected from the discharge outlet andestablish flow.

2. Make sure the water flow established iswithin the range of the flow sensor moni-toring the discharge.

For example, establish a flow rate of 150GPM (568 LPM) of water through a nozzleand Pitot system. Compare the calculatedflow value to the value shown on thecontrol unit display.

SECTION 4 OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

Operation of Hale FoamLogix systems is con-trolled by the Digital Display Control Unit, pro-vided with four push buttons (pads). (See Figure36: “Digital Diaplay Control Unit Overview.”)

The Hale FoamLogix system constantly monitorswater and foam concentrate flow values, main-taining foam injection at the specified concentrateinjection rate. The system responds to variationsin water flow by increasing or decreasing thespeed of the foam pump.

On initial power up of the apparatus, the HaleFoamLogix system begins a brief self-diagnosticroutine. When completed, the system enters theSTANDBY mode. The FLOW LED lights and thedsiplay shows the current water flow rate in themonitored discharge pipe.

Pressing the DISPLAY button ( i ) cycles throughthe four functions as indicated by the red LEDilluminating under each function.

The value is in the same unit of measure asthe water flow. This totalized value may bereset - see heading “Reset Function” on page60.

For example, the display may show 9.5,indicating 9.5 gallons (36 liters) of foamconcentrate have been used. (See Figure35: “Display - Function Modes” on page 58.)

Bar graph

The bar graph consists of a ten (10) LEDarray. When the ON button is pressed theleft-most LED lights to indicate the system isON and ready to inject foam concentrate.

When water is flowing, LEDs to the right onthe bar graph light indicating foam concen-trate is being injected. The amount of LEDslighted provides an indication of the approxi-mate pump capacity being used.

If water flow requirements exceed the capac-ity of the pumps ability to deliver foam con-centrate, pump speed increases to the maxi-mum rate. All bar graph LEDs light and theright-most LED flashes, warning the operatorthat the system capacity is being exceededand is running “lean” on foam concentratepercentage.

If the flow decreases such that the requiredinjection rate is less than the lowest rating ofthe pump, pump spped decreases to itsminimum rate and the first bar graph LED tothe left flashes, warning the operator that thesystem capacity is being exceeded and isrunning “rich” on foam concentratepercentage.

RESET FUNCTIONS

The totalized values for water and foam concen-trate pumped are cleared from memory byperforming a RESET function.

1. Using the DISPLAY button ( i ), selecteither TOTAL WATER or TOTAL FOAM.

2. By pressing and holding both the ! and "buttons at the same time, the value shownis cleared and the display shows zero (0).

3. Additionally the totalized values for waterand foam concentrate reset to zero auto-matically when the apparatus power isturned OFF.

FOAM CONCENTRATE INJECTIONRATE

When % FOAM is selected, the ! and " buttonsrespectively increase or decrease foam concen-trate percentage.

While operating in any function, with the excep-tion of FLOW during simulated flow operation,whenever the ! or " buttons are momentarilypressed, the display switches to the % FOAMdisplay and shows the current injection rate for 2seconds.

In any display mode, if either the ! or " buttonis held down for a period of 2 seconds or more,the injection rate value increases or decreasesaccordingly. Once released, the display returnsto the last selected display after 2 seconds.

When a reset is performed in the % FOAMdisplay mode, the foam concentrate injection ratereturns to the default value.

WARNING MESSAGES

Several safety features are incorporated into theHale FoamLogix system to protect the foamconcentrate pump, electric motor and apparatuswiring while maintaining personnel safety.

Messages appearing on the display alert theoperator to adverse conditions that could causedamage to Hale FoamLogix system components,the apparatus and cause personnel injury.

Low Foam Tank Level

The Hale FoamLogix foam pump is inter-locked with the foam concentrate tank levelswitch. If the tank is empty, the pump runsfor 1 minute. The low foam concentrate tanklevel message is shown (Lo A) alternatingwith the normal selected function on thedisplay. See Figure 38: “Low Foam TankDisplay.”

If one minute of low concentrate level isdetected the display shows no A, and thepump STOPS. The left-most LED turns OFFuntil the foam level is restored and the ONbutton is pressed.

If the ON button is pressed before refilling thefoam tank, the system runs for 30 secondsbefore shutting down again.

Priming Error

In the event there is no feedback signal beingreceived when the foam pump starts, indicat-ing a lack of foam concentrate flow, the foampump motor runs at full speed attempting toestablish foam concentrate flow.

If the system operates for a period of 30seconds without a feedback signal the sys-tem switches to the STANDBY mode and thedisplay flashes no Pr (no prime) indicatingthere is no foam concentrate flow. (SeeFigure 39: “Display - Priming Error.”)

High Ambient Temperature

If the Hale FoamLogix system is operatingin an environment of excessive ambienttemperatures, the display shows HIGH.

If the circuitry in the Hale FoamLogixsystem is being affected by a drop in powersupply voltage the display shows Lo SP.

Note: This is not necessarily an indication ofapparatus battery level or condition. It is onlyan indication of adverse operating conditions.For instance a bad battery cable can causethe system to see low power even though thebatteries are fully charged.

In either case the system continues to run. Ifconditions deteriorate to the point of potentialsystem damage, due to heat or low power,the system returns to the STANDBY modeand the error message remains until ON ispushed again.

PRIMING THE FOAM PUMP(When the Foam Tank Runs Dry.)

In some instances, the foam tank may run drywhile operating the Hale FoamLogix system.The foam pump is designed to pump liquid.When the fire pump is running the foam pumpmay not pump efficiently against 100 to 150 PSI(7 to 10 BAR) back pressure. To re-establishfoam concentrate flow quickly the followingprocedure is used.

1. Turn the bypass valve to the BYPASSposition.

2. With the fire pump flowing water from foamdischarge and the Hale FoamLogix ON,observe the hose from the bypass valve.

3. When foam concentrate flows from thehose turn the bypass valve back to theINJECT position.

The pump is now primed and ready fornormal operation.

TroubleshootingISO 9001 CERTIFIED

SECTION 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

USER DIAGNOSTICS

Power indicator lamps are provided on thedistribution box and on the feedback sensor. TheLED on the feedback sensor flashes when thesensor is receiving pulses from the flow sensorrotor targets. These LEDs help to ease tracing ofpower supply faults and eliminates some of theguesswork in troubleshooting. (See Figure 42:“Distribution Box Overview.”)

If the system malfunctions make sure the follow-ing conditions are checked:

❑ All hose connections correct and tight(Refer to appropriate system plumbingdiagram in Section 3 “Installation.”)

❑ All electrical connections correct and tight(Refer to appropriate system electricaldiagram in Section 3 “Installation.”)

❑ Apparatus electrical system energizedwith power supplied to pump panel andHale FoamLogix.

Once the above conditions are met, proceed tothe system troubleshooting section to determinethe cause of the malfunction.

Hale FoamLogix systems consist of individualsubsystems working together to provide finishedfoam solution at the proper percentage. Also seeheading “System Overview” on page 70.

The system is designed using modular compo-nents making troubleshooting and repair easier.Each subsystem has its own set of troubleshoot-ing procedures. The procedures that followprovide a logical flow path to isolate and correct asystem failure.

System Overview

See Figure 43: �FoamLogix 2.1A SystemClosed-Loop Flow Diagram.�

The FoamLogix 2.1A is a �closed-loop�system. The brains behind the system is thecomputer-controlled FoamLogix ControlDisplay Unit. As an electronic system, theflow of data �runs� the system. A basicunderstanding of how the system functionsmakes troubleshooting easier.

Water flow data is fed to the control unitcomputer. Since the injection rate (%) ispreset, the control unit calculates the requiredmotor speed of the foam pump and sendsthis data to the motor. The output of thepump is measured by a foam flow feedbacksensor.

The foam flow feedback sensor tells thecontrol unit how much foam is actuallypumped so the display can make the requiredmotor speed adjustments. This closed-loopruns several times per second and is what

makes the system so accurate.

Note: The FoamLogix unit has a�simulated flow� function, describedin Section 4: �Operation,� heading�Simulated Flow Operation�beginning on page 64. This allowstroubleshooting without flowingwater, yet simulates an actual waterflow.

Distribution Box

The Distribution Box, part of thepump/motor assembly, sends dataon LOW tank warnings tank selec-tion status, as well as foam concen-trate flow feedback to the display.

LOW tank and Tank selection statusare also determined within thedistribution box. A connector at-taches to selector valves. Thisconnection signals the control unit if

the unit is in tank selected or flush mode.

If no accessory is used, a connector plug isinstalled to lock the system in the Tank Amode. (See Figure 20: �Control HarnessConnections� on page 43.) Removing thisplug or disconnecting the MST accessorycable places the system in the �flush�mode.

Pump/Motor

The discharge of the foam pump directsfoam to the rotary lobe flow meter.

The rotors are a composite material con-taining small stainless steel targets. As thefoam is being pumped, a target lines upwith the sensor in the pump head.

TroubleshootingISO 9001 CERTIFIED

The sensor “sees” the target and sends thissignal to the control display, through thedistribution box. An indicator lamp on thesensor “flashes” as the target passes thesensor. Depending on how much foam isbeing pump determines the flashing speed,which could be so fast that the indicatorlight actually appears to be constant.

Bar Graph

The bar graph, on the control display unit,indicates the system capacity and is a goodtroubleshooting tool.

If the display does not see foam feedbackdata, indicating foam is being pumped, thebar graph lights all segments and “flashes.”The display runs the pump fast attemptingto prime it and achieve the proper foamconcentrate flow.

If the display does not receive data thatfoam concentrate is flowing, it displays the“No Pri” error message, indicating noprime, and turns the system OFF. PressingON starts the cycle again. There must bewater flow or the unit must be in the simu-lated flow mode. Operation of the bargraph and no prime warnings are discussedin Section 4, “Operation” beginning on page57.

Summary

Starting with the troubleshooting charts(see Chart 44: “Hale FoamLogix SystemTroubleshooting Flow Diagram,” beginningon page 72) and using Figure 43, on page70 to show the flow data, a field problemcan be traced to a particular component forreplacement.

FoamLogix replacement parts are “plug-and-play” type devices that do not requirespecialized equipment to service. Normalwater flow and foam calibration is usuallynecessary after a major component service.

PROBLEM ISOLATION

The first step in troubleshooting is to determinewhich subsystem caused the system failure. Tomake this determination operate the apparatusand Hale FoamLogix system in accordance withstandard operating procedures and isolate wherethe problem occurs.

See Chart 44: “Hale FoamLogix System Trouble-shooting Flow Diagram,” beginning on page 73,to assist in isolating the cause. Also review thefollowing steps.

1. Setup the apparatus for normal operation.

2. Power-up the apparatus and energize thepump operator panel.

Take notice of the Hale FoamLogix controlunit. If the display is NOT illuminatedproceed to Chart 44: “Hale FoamLogixSystem Troubleshooting Flow Diagram,”beginning on page 73.

3. If the Hale FoamLogix control unit isilluminated, engage the apparatus waterpump and establish discharge.

If water flow CANNOT be established,troubleshoot the water pump system.

4. If there is no indication of water flow on thecontrol unit display troubleshoot the flowsensor.

5. If water flow is established, turn the HaleFoamLogix system ON to flow foam.

6. Observe foam pump discharge. If foam isNOT flowing troubleshoot the foam pump.

7. Check accuracy of system using calibra-tion procedures in Section 4 “Operation” ofthis manual, making adjustments asrequired.

REFERENCE

The preceding foam concentrates have been tested by Hale Products toensure compatibility with Hale FoamLogix models 5.0 and 3.3 FoamProportioning Systems. These chemicals were run for several hundredhours over several months to make sure they do not harm the FoamSystem. This list is solely intended to assist the end user in selection offoam concentrate(s) compatible with a Hale FoamLogix Model 5.0 and3.3 and is not a determination of the fire fighting effectiveness of oneproduct over another.

Always consult with NFPA standards, U.L. Listings, Federal, State, andlocal regulations pertaining to application and environmental regulationsbefore selecting a foam concentrate. (Refer to FoamLogix User Manualfor additional information.)

Many fire fighting foam chemical manufacturers have specific instructionson handling and use of their products including, but not limited to, shelflife, tank life, and intervals between use. Always follow manufacturer’sinstructions for use.

This Appendix applies to Hale FoamLogix foam pumps built after April17, 1997. For Hale FoamMaster foam pumps built prior to April 17, 1997,refer to Bulletin 650, Rev-2.

If a particular foam concentrate you wish to use does not appear on thislist, please contact your Hale representative for information concerningcompatibility with Hale FoamLogix Model 5.0 or 3.3 Foam ProportioningSystems. As further testing is completed, Hale Products Inc. updatesthis list and expands capabilities and features to keep the Hale Foam-Logix the best system available for all fire fighting.
