3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Function
With the AWG turbo nozzles EVO, a full jet or a spray jet from 0° to
120° can be generated at a selectable flow rate.
The extinguishing agent discharge is started and stopped with the
hand lever.
By turning the nozzle head (jet form sleeve) the spraying angle is
changed between full jet and the different settings for the spray jet.
Full jet If the jet pipe head is in the full jet position, a focused jet
with a long throwing distance and corresponding mechan-
ical penetration force of the water flow is achieved.
Spray jet In the other positions of the nozzle head, an atomised spray
jet covering an area is generated. The spectrum ranges
from a concentrated spray pattern to a wide filled spray
cone.
Rinsing In this position, dirt particles can be removed from the
nozzle in the direction of flow.
For models with a fixed sprocket in the jet form sleeve, the sprocket
ensures a filled spray cone by reflecting the water droplets. With mod-
els without a fixed sprocket, no water droplets are reflected, a hollow
conical spray is created (hollow jet).
The turbo wheel (optional), which rotates quickly in the spray jet, is
used for fine atomisation of the spray jet.
Extinguishing foam can be produced with an optional foam attachment.
With the optional FIRE-EX Turbo 1000 wetting agent cartridge, wetting
agent is generated directly in the hollow nozzle and applied with the
turbo nozzle EVO.
3.2 Intended use
Fire-fighting with both full jet and spray jet
When used with foam agent (with foam attachment accessory):
fighting fires involving non-polar liquids (petrol, oil)
Only use the device in technically sound condition and in accordance
with the intended purpose and with safety and potential dangers in
mind.
