NEVER USE THE MONITOR AT PRESSURES HIGHER THAN 12 BARS (175 PSI).The maximum operating pressure for the Force 80 monitor is 12 bars (175 psi). Use ofthe Force 80 monitor at pressures higher than 12 bars is dangerous and can lead toserious injury or death or may damage the monitor. Moreover, the recommendedoperating pressure of the Force 80 is between 7 and 8 bars (100 and 115psi), which also will provide optimal performance.ONLY MOUNT THE FORCE MONITOR SO THAT ITS BASE IS PERPENDICULARTO THE GROUND. DO NOT install the monitor at an angle or upside-down withoutthe specific prior written consent of Unifire AB. Doing so may cause damage to themonitor gears and motors, which could lead to malfunction.FOLLOW ALL MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION PROCEDURES in this manual.BE SURE TO USE THE PROPER TYPE AND SIZE OF THREADS AT THE MONITORBASE and also between the monitor and nozzle (if using a nozzle not supplied byUnifire specifically for use with this monitor). Use of the wrong type or size of threadswill result in an improper connection which can cause leaking and also may cause themonitor and/or nozzle to dislodge under high pressure, possibly leading to seriousinjury or death to persons and/or serious damage to property. If you have any doubtsas to the exact thread supplied by Unifire, contact Unifire for clarification prior toconnecting the monitor and nozzle.KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE DURING OPERATION AND MOVEMENT. The Force 80Monitor has moving parts. Be sure to keep a safe distance from the monitor as itmoves and keep hands and fingers away from pinch points to avoid injury.AVOID RAPID CHARGING. Rapid charging of the monitor is potentially dangerousand can cause serious injury to persons and/or property and may cause damage tothe monitor. Charge the monitor slowly to avoid creating a potentially dangerous,high-pressure surge.USE ONLY UNIFIRE-APPROVED NOZZLES. The Force 80 monitor was designed foruse with the Unifire Integ80 and Unifire Smooth Bore nozzles. Use of any nozzle otherthan a Unifire nozzle made for the Force 80 without specific, written approval inadvance by Unifire AB constitutes misuse of the product and could affect the safety,performance and/or operation of the monitor. Such malfunctions could also result inthe nozzle coming loose and being rapidly ejected with high force, which could causeserious injury or even death.DO NOT OPERATE IN EXPLOSIVE ZONES OR ENVIRONMENTS! The electricmotors and other components are potential ignition sources and could spark ignition ifused in explosive environments. The Force 80 is not approved for operation inexplosive environments and therefore it should never be used in such environments.DO NOT IMMERSE EQUIPMENT IN WATER. Do not immerse the monitor, itscontrol box (i.e., the Monitor Control Unit or “MCU”) nor the joystick in water and besure to keep water out of their interiors. Unifire’s monitors, MCU and joystick aredesigned to withstand moderate exposure to rain and water splashing during normaluse of the monitor. Prolonged or extreme exposure to water, including submersion,however, will cause damage and could also cause electrical shock resulting in injury.Do not use the electrical controls during operation of the emergency manualoverride cranks as doing so could cause injury.5

ONLY USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE IN CASE OF TRUE EMERGENCY & POWERFAILURE. The manual override controls on the Force 80 monitor are not designed fornormal operation and should only be used in the case of extreme emergency andwhen the remote control feature is not working sufficiently to control the monitor bymeans of the electronic controls.DISCONNECT POWER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR.Prior to installation, maintenance or repair be sure to disconnect power and disableflow.ONLY USE SPECIFIED ELECTRICAL SUPPLY, INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN. The power supply to the Force 80 control box (CPU) should besupplied through high-quality cables and fuses with proper power overload protection.Electrical overload can cause damage to the CPU and other electrical components,leading to failure of the monitor. Be sure that the electrical power supply to themonitor is connected through proper fuses and approved by a qualified electrician.DO NOT MOUNT ANY DEVICES ON THE MONITOR OR NOZZLE. Mountingperipheral devices on the monitor is not recommended and can cause undue wear andtear, possibly leading to damage to the monitor, welds, etc. Use of peripherals on themonitor will void warranty claims unless specifically approved in advance and inwriting by Unifire AB.FAILURE TO HEED ANY WARNING IN THIS MANUAL VOIDS WARRANTYCLAIMS & MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY.6

Nozzle Position Indicator LED--indicates Integ nozzle’s relative position from full jet, to full fog, and inbetween12. Horizontal Position Indicator LED--indicates monitor’s relative position from full left, to center, to full right13. Port for joystick cable (compatible only with Unifire multi-connectors)14

NOZZLE FLOW SETTINGFlow is set and selected by adjusting the position of the baffle (diffusor) of the nozzle.Start by rotating the baffle to the fully closed position (flow=0).Now for every “turn” (full 360° opening) the flow will increase as per the charts provided.When done, tighten the 24 mm counter nut.The NUT and the baffle should be locked with Loctite® 577, or similar.The Flow must be set to properly match the available water supply and pressure. This is determined by the pumpcapacity, distance from pump to monitor, dimensions of the pipes, dimensions of the valve and other factors. A foamproportioning unit may cause massive pressure loss, so this must be accounted for.Insufficient flow or pressure will lead to poor performance of the FORCE80.BAFFLE1LEFT THREADRIGHT THREADCOUNTERNUT20,515

OPERATION - At first start up.Setting end-positions and calibratingAfter installation of the monitor and after completed electrical connections, these are thesteps to be followed at first start up:• Setting end-positions and• CalibratingWhen connecting the Joystick for the first time, itwill within 3 seconds establish communicationand the position LED’s will light up. Position LED’swill always be lit when the Joystick is connected.The position displayed will be wrong, however,and the Joystick may not work properly until thefirst calibration has been performed. WARNING!Do not operate without calibrating!SETTING THE END POSITIONS (“HARD STOPS”)To set end positions, re-position the end position bolts on the monitor to the required position. After endposition bolts has been moved, it is ALWAYS requiredto calibrate the monitor. Failing to do so may causemechanical or electrical malfunction.Operating the JoystickCALIBRATION1. Put the monitor control (Joystick) in OFF-mode (thegreen start light is off, position LED’s still active.)2. Next, press and keep pressing the VALVE button, andpress the PLAY button. This will initiate calibration. Themonitor will move vertically, horizontally and run thenozzle in sequence.After calibration, the monitor will stop before hitting the end position bolts, avoiding wear and tear on themonitor’s electrical and mechanical parts. (These are called “soft stops”.) Also the position LED’s will nowreflect the actual relative position of the monitor and nozzle.STARTTo activate the Joystick, press and hold the ON button for 2 seconds. When the green ON LED is lit, themonitor is active.(NOTE: the position LED’s always show the monitor’s relative positions, even when the Joystick is off)18

SET PARKTo select a park position, move to the required park position. Put the monitor control in OFF mode. Whilepressing PARK, also push ON, to activate the Joystick. Now the new park position has been selected.GO TO PARKPress and hold the PARK button for 2 seconds to make the monitor return to the pre-defined parkingposition.RECORD patternTo record a pattern, press the REC button once. The red LED light will come on, indicating that recordingis in progress. Begin recording any pattern you wish repeated and when finished, press the REC buttonagain to end recording. The red LED will turn off. During recording, all monitor movements, includingvelocity changes, pauses and nozzle control, are recorded.PLAY - automatic operationPress the PLAY button to initiate playback of the last recorded sequence.ABORT automatic operationManual operation of the joystick will abort playback. Pushing “PLAY” will also abort playback.Pushing PLAY again will return to the last recorded pattern. NOTE: the nozzle control will not abortplayback.VALVE CONTROLIf a motorized water valve is connected, pressing the valve button will open or close the valve.AUX 1 and AUX 2 (generic buttons)These are generic buttons that can control “other functions”. For example, foam valves or flood lights. Ina networked system the AUX1 and AUX2 can be used for controlling and switching between 2 monitors.MANUAL OPERATION WITH CRANKSThe monitor can be manually operated with cranks. This may be useful for service and maintenance, ifand when the power is cut, or a motor is damaged. The FORCE monitors are not suitable for manualoperation and manual cranks are for emergency use only.If manual operation is necessary first disconnect the cables!Then the monitor can be manually operated with cranks. Any attempt to manually operate the monitorwithout removing the connectors will be very difficult - virtually impossible - and also it will lead todamage to the electronics! After manual operation of the monitor, you must recalibrate themonitor before resuming normal operation.19

MAINTENANCEWe recommend that the electric motors be inspected by opening the motor covers once permonth. The purpose of this is to ensure that there is no water or moisture build up in the motorenclosures (which could be caused by a loose connector). If there is moisture, dry itthoroughly and be sure to connect the connector securely to prevent further exposure. Themotors are not very sensitive to water, but checking once-in-a-while is good precaution.We also recommned that the multi connectors be inspected for water and/or signs ofcorrosion. As a precaution, the connectors should be sprayed with WD40 one per year.For the INTEG nozzle we recommend that the rotating stream shaper (part 12 on the drawing)be cleaned and lubricated with WD40 once per month, as this may be exposed to air, dirt andgrime.In stow position, the INTEG nozzle should be set to wide-spray (i.e., retracted), and thenozzle should face downwards. This will ensure that the stream shaper fully protected fromdirt, salt, dust or ice, and well greased at all times, and will ensure proper drainage of thenozzle when stowed.We recommed that the FORCE monitor be externally cleaned from time to time and whendirty. Clean with any cleaning agent and water, as with standard pieces of machinery. Becausethe FORCE monitor is made of polished (no surface treatment) 316L stainless steel, it canalways be machine polished to look fantastic.The worm gears are filled with grease and hermetically sealed off with nitril X-rings. Thismeans no dirt or water get into the gears. No air circulation will dry out the rubber seals. Thisis normally a maintanenece free unit.The worm gears must normaly never be greased. We recommend not ever greasing thegears unless specifically recommended to do so by Unifire AB on an individual, case-by-casebasis. If Unifire recommends greasing, then be sure to follow Unifire’s instructions, includingby using the proper type of grease (Mobilith SHC460) and make sure to open the greaseevacuation plug (part 26 on the drawing). Using the wrong type of grease may cause fataldamage to the mechanics or block the movement.20

TROUBLESHOOTINGPRIOR to contacting UNIFIRE AB Technical Support, please consult the appropriate troubleshootingstep(s) below, which are designed to resolve most common issues.This will help to resolve the most common and frequent issues.1. MONITOR APPEARS totally “DEAD”• Check all power cable connections and fuses• Cable “1” + 24 V - 15 A fuse (for power feed to the motors)• Cable “2” + 24V - 2 A fuse (For power feed to the electronics)• Cable “green and yellow” Ground (negative) properlyconnected.• (When the live power cable is connected to the CPU a “click”can be heard from the relays)• Confirm that fuses are O.K.• Confirm that cables are O.K., and not damaged.• Confirm that the voltage is sufficient also when the monitor is running.• Confirm that the power supply can deliver enough current (up to 15A at 24V) without any drop involtage.• The “Power” button must be held for at least 2 seconds to activate the monitor.• To confirm power, open up the CPU. Check for the 2 green LED’s that indicate power to the electronicsand motor feeds, respectively.• If none of these steps resolves the problem, please contact Unifire AB.2. No LED’s on Joystick are lit when connecting• Check power as in paragraph “1”• Try another Joystick cable if possible.• If a cable problem is confirmed, contact Unifire.• If problems remains the Joystick may be damaged or the may be on wrong mode. (Master/Slave, IDand/or baud rate). Please refer to the ADVANCED JOYSTICK SETTING appendix, or contact Unifire.• The Position LED’s are not moving and showing actual position the monitor is not properly calibrated.Please calibrate.3. POSITION LED’s ON JOYSTICK are not showing correct position• Monitor is not calibrated OR the encoder signals are not getting thru to the MCU• Low voltage will lead to an incomplete calibration. Check power as in paragraph “1”• Run calibration, according to the manual• Check cables and connections, also in the motor housings covering the motors.• It may be necessary to replace a motor or an encoder. Please refer to the REPLACING MOTOR ORENCODER appendix.• If problem remains please contact Unifire21

4. MONITOR NOT RESPONDING• First check power and Joystick point 1-3• If Voltage is low, or power insufficient, this may stop the monitor from working.• Run calibration. If the potion LED’s flash during calibration (red LED’s alternating flash), this isindicating that the signals form the encoders are not getting thru.• It may be necessary to replace a motor or an encoder. Please refer to the REPLACING MOTOR ORENCODER appendix.• If problem remains please contact Unifire5. MONITOR WILL NOT CALIBRATE AT ALL• Make sure that the unit is off when initiating calibration (use START button to alternate state). Signallamp should be off when initiating calibration• If calibration is initiated, and vertical, horizontal and nozzle motor “jerks” and stops, this indicatesinsufficient voltage.• If the potion LED’s flash during calibration (red LED’s alternating flash), this is indicating that thesignals form the encoders are not getting thru.• Check voltage and power supply.• Contact Unifire.6. MONITOR WILL NOT CALIBRATE ON ALL AXES• This happens if signals from one of the encoders are not properly communicated. This can result froma faulty encoder, a bad connection, or a bad cable. It can also be caused by water in the motor houseor in the connectors, shorting out the encoder pulses.• If the potion LED’s flash during calibration (red LED’s alternating flash), this is indicating that thesignals form the encoders are not getting thru.• A bad encoder can be detected by switching cables at the motor, i.e. letting the vertical cable controlhorizontal motor, and vice versa. (The Nozzle motor is identical to the vertical motor, so the methodcan also be used on the nozzle.)• Run calibration.• Open up the motor housing of the affected motor. Check for water/moisture/corrosion. Check thesmall plastic connector in the motor can.• If no problem can be determined or detected, the encoder may be defective. This can be easilyexchanged. Please refer to the REPLACING MOTOR OR ENCODER appendix.• Contact Unifire.7. MONITOR DOES NOT MOVE IN ITS FULL RANGE• Recalibrate the monitor.8. INCONSISTENT BEHAVIOR, STOPS, ETC.• This usually is caused by uneven power supply, spikes and breaks in the power caused by shortcircuits or other equipment connected to the power source.22

(Power up eitherby connecting a live Joystick cable, or switching on power) This puts the Joystick in setup mode.Exit SETUP MODEWhen done with the below described operations, simply press ON until allLED's are OFF (ON LED may goon if MCU hRelay is ON)Master/slave mode (I, II)The position LED's indicates the mode and address when in setup mode:To switch between master and slave mode (indicated with full horizontal bar)Press REC to toggle between master and slave mode.To step through the address settings use the PLAY button.When in master mode the LED's L0 to L9 represents the address of the MCUto be controlled (range from h41 to h4A) and if in slave mode it represents theaddress of the joystick itself (range h51 to h5A)Master modeHorizontal bar all LED'S=ON.For the control of 1 MCU(slave address, one of h41 → h4A)L0 MCU address h41L1 MCU address h42L2 MCU address h43L3 MCU address h44L4 MCU address h45L5 MCU address h46L6 MCU address h47L7 MCU address h48L8 MCU address h49L9 MCU address h4ASlave modeHorizontal bar all LED's=OFFFor the setting of Joystick ID(Address, one of h51 → h5A)L0 Joystick address h51L1 Joystick address h52L2 Joystick address h53L3 Joystick address h54L4 Joystick address h55L5 Joystick address h56L6 Joystick address h57L7 Joystick address h58L8 Joystick address h59L9 Joystick address h5A32

Calibration of nozzle control. (III)1. Move the top (nozzle-control) clockwise to the stop and then press and hold AUX 1 until LED is on.2. Then move the top counter clockwise to the stop and then press and holdAUX 2 until LED is on.Startup mode MCU (IV)Alter the start up state of the MCU by using the ”PARK”. When PARK led is ON the MCU starts active (startLED is ON) and is ready to be controlled immediately. When PARK led is off activation of system is done byusing the START button.Joystick vertical control (V)The VALVE button controls the vertical direction and alters the up/down functionality of the joystick. PressVALVE to alter state. When VALVE led is OFF joystick handle away from operator means monitor down andjoystick handle towards operator means monitor up. When VALVE led is ON joystick handle away fromoperator means monitor up and joystick handle towards operator means monitor down.Enter SETUP MODE ”B”While powering up the joystick press VALVE and PLAY until the corresponding LED's are ON. This puts thejoystick in setup mode ”B”Exit SETUP MODE ”B”When done with the below described operations, simply press ON until all LED's are OFF (ON LED may goon if MCU hRelay is ON125 kbit or 250 kbit CAN busPress VALVE to switch between 125 kbit and 250kbit (indicated with full horizontal bar). Leds on indicate250 kbit and leds off 125 kbit.33
