3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Monsoon Monitor is a manually operated monitor designed for master stream ows. Maximum operating pressure is 200 psi
(14 bar). Unique patented segmented waterway allows water to make very few turns as it travels through the monitor resulting in
low friction loss and a far reaching eff ective stream. Elevation range is 90 degrees above horizontal to 45 degrees below. Field
changeable elevation travel stops at 45 degrees above, 30 degrees above, and 30 degrees below horizontal. The manual model has
360 degree continuous horizontal rotation with eld changeable stops at 45, 90, and 135 degrees either side of a center position.
Available with various inlet anges and threaded ttings. Inlet also made for direct connection to TFT’s electric Extend-A-Gun RC3 or
RC4. Main waterway made from hardcoat anodized ANSI 356.0-T6 aluminum. Silver powder coat fi nish inside and out.
The Monsoon RC is an electric remote controlled monitor that has all the benefi ts of the Monsoon monitor with the addition of
powered operation. Designed for auto sensing 12 VDC or 24 VDC operation. The Monsoon RC comes with a factory installed control
panel mounted on the monitor for controlling horizontal rotation, elevation, and nozzle pattern. The motor control circuits are factory
installed on the monitor and use position encoders and current limiting to protect the drive train at the ends of travel. Unit comes with
ultra-fl exing robotics cable already wired to the monitor so installation eff ort is minimized. Power wire has only four conductors (two
for power and two for communications) further easing installation eff ort. Power wire is enclosed in a unique wire guide that allows
450 degrees of horizontal travel (225 degrees either side of a center position) which is far more reliable than slip rings or coil cords.
Knobs for manual override are provided on the horizontal rotation and elevation drive. TFT’s nozzles plug into the factory installed
nozzle power wire. Electric drives and control box are waterproof.
