SIMULATED FLOW OPERATION
The Simulated Flow mode of the Hale SmartFOAM system
allows operation of the foam pump without discharging water
through a foam capable discharge or when the flow sensor
is not functioning.
The simulated flow mode is used for draining the foam tank
for:
❑ Cleaning
❑ Checking calibration of the feedback sensor
❑ Verifying foam pump operation
❑ Manually controlling foam injection if the flow sensor
malfunctions.
The factory default simulated flow rate is 150 GPM
(568 LPM). The foam concentrate injection percentage rate
is set by the rate adjustment buttons on operation screen of
the SmartFOAM controller.
The simulated flow function provides manual operation of the
foam injection system required by NFPA standards.
CAUTION!
WHEN OPERATING THE HALE SMARTFOAM IN SIMU-
LATED FLOW MODE AN OUTLET FOR THE FOAM CON-
CENTRATE MUST BE PROVIDED TO
PREVENT EXCES-
SIVE PRESSURE BUILDUP IN DISCHARGE PIPING OR
HOSES.
SIMULATED FLOW SEQUENCE
Refer to Figure 59 for image steps of how to start simulated
water flow.
1. Uncoil and place the end of the bypass hose into a
suitable container to collect the foam concentrate.
2. Place the BYPASS valve in the BYPASS position.
3. Energize the apparatus electrical system.
4. Place the system in simulated flow mode:
a. Press the MENU button.
b. In the menu select the “simulated water flow”
button.
c. In the simulated water flow screen press the
ON/OFF button to toggle simulated water
flow. The icon indicates the current state.
d. Set the simulated flow to the desired rate by
using the INCR/DECR buttons.
e. P
ress the MENU button to return to the
menu.
f. Press the RETURN button to return to the
operation screen.
5. Press the ON button on the operation screen. The
SmartFOAM system begins operation and the dis-
play border change from gray to green, yellow, or
red (depending on the tank selected).
6. Foam concentrate flows out of the end of the bypass
hose.
TO END SIMULATED FLOW
1. First press the OFF button on the operation screen
to STOP the foam pump.
2. Take the system out of simulated flow mode:
a. Press the MENU button.
b. In the menu select the “simulated water flow”
button.
c. In the simulated water flow screen press the
ON/OFF button to toggle simulated water
flow. The icon indicates the current state.
d. Press the MENU button to return to the
menu.
e. Press the RETURN button to return to the
operation screen.
3. De-energize the apparatus electrical system.
4. Place the bypass valve to the INJECT position.
5. Secure bypass hose in the appropriate compart-
ment.
6. Return apparatus to normal ready condition.
