Installation

Fire Pump Mounting

For fire pump mounting instructions, see F-1031, Section 3011, CM/CS Installation Instructions.

Foam Pump Mounting

Required if the Foam Pump is not mounted on the Fire Pump at the factory (shipped loose).

Install Foam Pump in Apparatus:

The Motor / Pump Assembly must be mounted horizontally. The base must be

anchored to a surface or structure that is rigid and of adequate strength to

withstand the vibration and stresses of apparatus operation. For dimensions of

mounting bracket, see page 7 (Advantus 3) or page 8 (Advantus 6).

Flexible hose is required to make the hose connections from the Motor / Pump

Assembly to the foam tank.

DO NOT hard pipe the system.

Consider access requirements for checking the foam pump. Be sure the foam

concentrate hoses can be properly routed to the inlets and outlets on the foam

pump.

Foam concentrates should gravity feed to the foam pump inlet from the foam

tank. However the systems are capable of drafting up to one meter vertically.

The Motor / Pump Assembly must be mounted in an area to avoid excessive

exhaust system heat buildup.

Protect the hoses and wiring to prevent chafing and abrasion during operation

of the foam system.

Protect the Motor / Pump Assembly from excessive road spray and debris.

Although the system is sealed and designed to be resistant to the harsh envir‐

onment of fire fighting apparatus, a protected compartment with easy operator

access is the recommended installation location.

Install foam injection hose and cables between Foam Pump and Foam

Manifold:

Determine a location for the Operator Interface Terminal (OIT) on the operator

panel of the equipment.

·Consider the routing path of the cable from the OIT to the pump / motor

driver assembly (see Page 13).

·If necessary, order longer or short cable assemblies to suit the location

demands

NOTE: Make sure there is enough clearance behind the OIT assembly

for the cable.

Optional Dual OIT (Control Panel) - Follow instructions furnished with kit.

Foam Tank Connection to Advantus®Foam Pump

Flexible hose is required to make the hose connections from the foam pump to

the foam tank. Note hose from the foam tank to the foam pump is not fur

nished by Waterous. The in-line foam concentrate strainer must be installed in

the line and be accessible for maintenance.

To ensure adequate concentrate supply, size hose as follows:

·Advantus 3 - minimum of 3/4 inch ID tubing

·Advantus 6 - minimum of 1 inch ID tubing

Foam Tank Connection to Advantus®Foam Pump

When specifying an integral foam tank, make sure provisions are made for in

stallation of the optional low tank level sensor as well as foam suction connec

tions and tank drainage according to NFPA.

Most water tank manufacturers will build the foam tank into the booster tank.

1. Place the foam tank so that refilling can be done safely.

2. Foam concentrates should gravity feed to the foam pump inlet from the foam

tank. However, the systems are capable of drafting up to 1 meter vertically.

The Inject / Bypass valve is mounted on the discharge side of the foam pump.

This valve shall be accessible by the pump operator during normal operations.

The valve is a 3-way directional valve that selects where the output of the foam

pump will go.

Check to make sure the valve is installed properly. look at the ports as you move

the handle. The flow should go from the center port to each of the other ports.

The hose and fittings from the inject port to the foam injector fitting should have

a minimum rating of 3/8 of the maximum fire pump discharge pressure.

The hose from the bypass port may have a lower pressure rating since it is

plumbed to the atmosphere and will not receive high pressures. This hose is

used for pumping the concentrate into a container to empty the tank or to assist

in priming of the foam pump. The hose from the bypass port must be long

enough to reach a container outside the truck. This hose must be coiled for

storage when not in use.

F-1031, Section 3026 Page 10 of 17

CAUTION

Shut-Off Valves. May cause damage to the foam pump.

Never install shut-off valves between the pump and discharge

pressure regulator or in the regulator bypass line.
