SAFETY SUMMARY
SIGNAL WORD DEFINITION
Per the ANSI Z535.4 standard, the following signal words and definitions are used to indicate hazardous situations:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to
alert against unsafe practices.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures and therefore do not appear elsewhere
in this publication. These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and apply during many phases of operation
and maintenance.
Safety Instruction - Read Manual! Failure to follow operating instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Read and understand the operator’s manual before using the monitor/turret.
Safety Instruction - Trained Personnel Only! Death or serious injury could result if proper inspection, installation, operation and
maintenance procedures are not observed. Installation, operation and maintenance to be performed by trained and authorized
personnel only. Proper eye protection should be worn when servicing the monitor/turret.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following are safety precautions that are related to specific procedures and therefore appear elsewhere in this publication for
emphasis. These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and apply during specific phases of installation,
operation and maintenance.
Safety Instruction - Operation! For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have been classified as
hazardous as defined in Article 500 of the National Electric Code.
Safety Instruction – Operation! Make sure all power has been disconnected and disable
flow prior to performing maintenance.
Safety Instruction - Trained Personnel Only! Only trained and qualified personnel should perform installation, adjustments, and
servicing. Only a properly trained and qualified certified electrician should
perform electric installations and service.
Safety Instruction - Operation! Charge the monitor/turret slowly. Rapid charging may cause a pressure surge
that has the potential to cause an injury, or damage to the unit.
4

Safety Instruction - Operation! DO NOT stow or deploy the monitor/turret while flowing. Pressing the
stow or deploy buttons causes the nozzle to move automatically and the water stream may
cause damage to equipment or injury to personnel.
Safety Instruction - Operation! Aim the monitor/turret in a safe direction before pumping water
through it. (i.e. Away from power lines)
Safety Instruction - Operation! DO NOT exceed the maximum pressure or flow ratings of the monitor/turret.
Exceeding these ratings may lead to an injury or may cause damage to the monitor/turret.
Safety Instruction - Operation! DO NOT install shutoffs on the outlet of the monitor/turret. Shutoffs
increase the potential for pressure surges due to water hammer, which have the potential to
cause an injury or damage to the monitor/turret.
Safety Instruction - Operation! Keep all personnel out of the Danger Zone in front of the outlet of the nozzle when the water
source is attached. Dangerous flow velocities can cause serious injury.
Safety Instruction – Operation! Not designed for explosive environments.
Entanglement Hazard! Tangled cables can cause equipment damage. Ensure control cables are not
tangled and are free to pay out as monitor/turret is operated.
Safety Instruction – Operation! All operators must read the Operation section of this manual and be properly trained.
Safety Instruction – Operation! Use only appropriate Akron Brass Company nozzles. Use of any other nozzles could affect the
speed or operation of the monitor/turret.
Safety Instruction – Installation! Make the connection of the vehicle and/or auxiliary battery the final step.
Safety Instruction – Operation! The monitor/turret contains moving parts. Keep hands, fingers, and
objects away from pinch points.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Refer to the Safety Summary for precautions to be observed while operating or servicing this equipment.
1.2 INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the installation, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance instructions for the Style 6032 Universal Control II.
The manual should be reviewed in its entirety. This manual is intended to provide installation, operation and maintenance informa-
tion for all Universal II configurations. Contact the Akron Brass factory with any additional questions before performing any proce-
dures outlined in this manual.
1.3 DESCRIPTION

1.4 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
1.4.1 Power Requirements
The Universal II will operate from either 12 or 24 volt DC power with no customer changes necessary, although Monitors and Turrets
must be ordered as 12 or 24 volt for their proper operation. While the Universal II can operate below 10 volts, for optimum
performance, a minimum of 11 volts (for 12 volt monitors/turrets, 22 volts for 24 volt monitors/turrets) is required at the Universal II
J1 connector. The DC power is internally protected with a 30 amp non-serviceable fuse. This fuse is strictly for wiring protection and
should never need replacement under normal conditions. It is recommended that an external 20 amp slow blow fuse be placed in
series with the vehicle battery positive lead. The DC power for the Universal II is supplied through a 29 pin Deutsch connector (J1).
The DC power connects to pins 1 and 2, and they accept up to 12 AWG wire. See section 2.4.3 for pin-out information and schemat-
ics and section 2.5 for wiring connection detail. The electronic system has built-in reverse polarity protection. Long runs of cable
can introduce voltage/power loss. For long runs, it may be necessary to add an intermediate junction box fed by 10 AWG or heavier
wiring with a short 12 AWG run applied to the Universal II. If you need assistance in assessing wiring needs associated with long wir-
ing runs, contact Akron Brass technical support.
INPUT POWER REQUIREMENT:
12VDC (Min: 11VDC; Max: 14VDC) OR
24VDC (Min: 22VDC; Max: 28VDC)
• RECOMMENDED POWER WIRE SIZE: 12VDC: 10AWG
24VDC: 12AWG
• REQUIRED FUSE: 12VDC: 20 amp Slow Blow
24VDC: 10 amp Slow Blow
• PEAK AMP DRAW: 50amp for 100ms
1.4.2 Environmental Specifications Requirements
The Universal II has been designed to be mounted on a vehicle and tolerate the harsh environments encountered in this application.
The environmental specifications are listed below:
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C - 55°C
Enclosure Environmental Rating: IP67 Equivalent

2.3 ATTACHING TO VEHICLE
2.3.1 Universal II
If the Universal II is to be mounted in a well, be certain that adequate drainage is provided. While the unit has been designed to
withstand adverse environmental conditions, it cannot be submerged.
The Universal II has two options for mounting:
1. Through hole mounting. The through hole mounting holes provided on the Universal II are .177 inches in di
ameter and suitable for #8 or M4 screws. These allow inserting screws from the top side and into threaded
holes on the customer’s back panel.
2. Mounting with threaded inserts. There are four threaded inserts in the enclosure bottom which are M6 X 1.0.
These allow screws to be inserted from behind the customer’s back panel and into these inserts on the Uni
versal II enclosure bottom.
Mounting hole locations for methods 1 and 2 above are shown in Figure 2-1. Please note that it is important that the mounting
surface be flat. Sufficient room should also be allowed in mounting location to insure cabling does not have sharp bends close to
the connectors.

The vehicle battery must be connected to pins 1 and 2 of the DC Power/Signal connector. Pin 1 must connect to +Battery and pin 2
must connect to –Battery (usually chassis, ground, or common). It is recommended that a 20 amp slow blow fuse be connected in
series with the +Battery wire. Refer to section 1.4.1 for additional information.
Figure 2-4 Vehicle Battery Connection
2.5.2 PINS 3 & 4: Auxiliary Battery (Optional)
Long power wiring runs can cause excessive voltage drop for 12VDC systems. 24 volt systems are typically not affected by longer
runs of power cabling. If your 12 volt system power wiring runs exceed the length in table 2-4, an auxiliary battery is recommended.
Pins 3 and 4 provide the connection for an optional auxiliary battery. Pin 3 must connect to auxiliary battery positive, and pin 4 must
connect to auxiliary battery negative. These two pins are checked by the Universal II at power-up to see if an auxiliary battery is
connected. If one is sensed, it is engaged and a small amount of trickle charge is applied. If this optional feature is not used, it is
recommended these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs. Contact Akron Brass technical support if you have
additional questions about the use of this feature.

10 AWG 25 Feet
Table 2-4 Maximum power wire lengths without Auxiliary battery
2.5.3 PINS 5 & 6: Hi-Riser or Valve Control
Pins 5 & 6 are optional outputs used to send power to an electric valve motor or an electric monitor riser. Both of these functions
are optional. Check wiring diagrams specific to the Universal II being installed to determine which function is enabled. If these out-
puts are not used, it is recommended these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs.
2.5.4 PINS 7-9: Logic Outputs
Pins 7 through 9 are current protected solid state power outputs. The output pin is connected to positive system voltage when
turned on. Pin 7 powers the operator station LED when installed. Pin 8 is typically used to power an indicator light for the discharge
(when software is configured to control a valve with the joystick trigger). It is turned on when the trigger is pushed. Pin 9 is typically
used to power an indicator light indicating when the unit is in high gallonage. It is turned off when unit is switched to low gallonage.
Please refer to the appendix for the particular version Universal II for their assigned functions. Refer to Figure 2-5 for wiring exam-
ples. If any logic outputs are not used, it is recommended these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs.

2.5.5 PINS 10-12: Relay Contact Output
Pins 10 through 12 connect to an internal latching relay contact. This floating bi-stable contact is dedicated to an interlock function
because its state is true regardless of whether the Universal II is powered or not. It is by default assigned to indicating whether or
not the monitor/turret is stowed (parked). Because it is floating, it may be connected to either battery positive or negative for
driving loads such as pilot lights or external relays. Refer to Figure 2-6 for examples of connecting an external load. This contact is
not rated for dry circuits and so should have at least a 10 mA load minimum. It does not have arc suppression. Therefore, if driving
a relay coil, external suppression should be provided. A typical usage would be for a warning light to alert the driver the monitor/
turret is not properly stowed/parked. If this optional feature is not used, it is recommended these pin locations be fitted with
Deutsch pin sealing plugs.

2.5.6 PIN 13: Enable Input
Switch Input #1 (Pin 13) is dedicated to interlock functionality. NOTE: This switch input must be connected to battery common
or ground in order for the Universal II to function. This input is typically used for connecting a parking brake switch to this input
to prevent operation of the monitor/turret without first setting the parking brake. If interlock functionality is undesired, this pin
should be hard-wired to Battery common or ground.
2.5.7 PINS 14-21: Switch Inputs
Switch Inputs #2 to #9 (pins 14 to 21) are primarily intended for toggle switch inputs. Their function varies depending on
configuration. An Akron Brass Operator Station can be used or user can provide their own switch inputs. Please refer to the
Appendix for the particular version Universal II for their assigned function. The Universal II version is identified by a barcode label
on the outside of the enclosure between the J1 and the J2 connectors that includes the part number (6032XXXX) and revision level.
Each input recognizes three distinct states – open, connected to +Bat, and connected to –Bat. A typical toggle switch connection
is shown in Figure 2-7. Use of relay contacts could also be implemented if care is taken to insure there is never a case in which the
battery is shorted out. A form C contact is a good choice in which the common is tied to the switch input. High/Low Gallonage
control would be an example of where relay contacts could be used.
Figure 2-8 shows connection of an Akron Brass switch box. Note the hard-wired connection into Switch Input #1 to continuously
enable the monitor. Also note that pins 22 and 25 supply power to the operator station LED. See section 2.5.8 for more detail.
Figure 2-7 Switch Input Wiring
Unused switch input pins should be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs. These are included in the connector kit if purchased from
Akron Brass.
NOTE: If any of the switch inputs are still connected to battery + after power is removed from the Universal II (i.e. the switch inputs
are not powered directly from the U2 as shown), the control will not properly shut down due to leakage currents through the inputs.
Insure that battery + for the switch inputs is disconnected along with power to the Universal II.

2.5.8 PINS 22 & 25: Peripheral Power Output
To simplify wiring, power is provided out to peripheral devices such as joysticks, operator stations, direction indicators, etc. Pins
22 and 25 provide +Battery and –Battery power out respectively. This output is internally protected by a 1 amp self-resetting fuse.
Refer to Figure 2-8 for example of how this is used with an operator station. If this optional feature is not used, it is recommended
these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs.
2.5.9 PINS 23 & 24: J1939 Vehicle CAN Bus
The Universal II J1939 Vehicle CAN Bus is available on pins 23 and 24. Pin 23 is CAN-HI, and pin 24 is CAN-LO. Preferred connection
to these pins should be made with J1939/11 compliant wiring. See Figure 2-9 for additional details. NOTE: Termination resistors are
critical to reliable performance. If this optional feature is not used, it is recommended these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch
pin sealing plugs.

2.5.10 PINS 26 & 27: Not Used
It is recommended these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs.
2.5.11 PINS 28 & 29: V-MUX Communication Bus (Optional)
Connection to a VMUX communications bus is available on pins 28 and 29. Pin 28 is VMUX A and Pin 29 is VMUX B. Not all soft-
ware versions support VMUX communication. Contact Akron Brass technical support for details of your particular version. If this
optional feature is not used, it is recommended these pin locations be fitted with Deutsch pin sealing plugs.
2.6 PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK
For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have been
classified as hazardous as defined in Article 500
of the National Electric Code.
Before operating the Universal II and monitor/turret, be sure that there are no potential obstructions. Visually inspect the unit for
any damage. If damage is apparent, do not use the system. Have it serviced prior to use. Check for any objects which might ob-
struct motion of the monitor/turret or cause binding. Remove any material that may hinder monitor/turret function.
17

CHAPTER 3
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
All operators must read the Operation section of this
manual and be properly trained.
Keep personnel clear of monitor/turret discharge
path during operation.
For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have
been classified as hazardous as defined in Article 500
of the National Electric Code.
3.1 THEORY OF OPERATION
The Universal II control system is based on a distributed intelligence control structure. Each device in the system has a circuit board
with an embedded micro controller. These devices include (but are not limited to): the 6032 Universal II Control Box, the 6033 Mini
Universal, the 6034 CAN Operator Interface, the 6035 CAN Joystick, the 6036 CAN Direction Indicator, the 6037 CAN Wireless
Interface, and the associated handheld Remote Control(s). These boards “talk” to each other over an SAE J1939 compliant CAN serial
communications link.
The 6032 Control Box at the heart of the system is a software-defined universal controller. Its inputs and outputs are pre-pro-
grammed at the factory to match the particular monitor/turret it is used with. Please refer to the Appendix for the particular ver-
sion Universal II for their assigned function. The Universal II version is identified by a barcode label on the outside of the enclosure
between the J1 and J2 connectors that includes the part number (6032XXXX) and revision level.
Additionally, there are many parameters that can be configured by the user. These can be configured using the processes defined in
section 3.2.
3.2 INITIAL SYSTEM SETUP
The Universal II allows many configuration options during setup.
The following functions can be configured in the setup mode:
• Right, Left, Up and Down soft limits
• Monitor orientation (sideways or inverted mounting)
• Obstacle Avoidance
• Stow and Deploy positions
• Position Sensor zero
• Restore Factory Defaults
18

To enter the setup mode for the above functions, follow these steps:
1. Turn power off to Universal II
2. Press and HOLD stream switch (can be done on Joystick or toggle switch box)
3. Turn power on to Universal II while continuing to hold the stream switch
4. Wait 3-4 seconds and release the stream switch
The Universal II should now be in setup mode. When it is setup mode, the LED on the operator station will be slowly blinking (a
short blink followed by a long pause). If it is not slowly blinking, turn the power off and repeat steps 1-4.
All setup functions options except Stow and Deploy can be scrolled through by pressing the stream switch. Each time the stream
switch is pressed, another function is active for configuration. If a function is configured and saved using the fog switch, it will
automatically move to the next function. For example, the first time the stream switch is pressed, the right soft limit is ready for
programming (LED CODE 1-1). If it is pressed again, the left soft limit is ready for programming (LED CODE 1-2). If the left soft limit is
set and the fog switch is pressed, it will automatically move to the up soft limit without having to press stream again (LED CODE 1-3).
Alternately, activating the Stream command will abort this mode without storing the position and forward the user to the next Soft
Limit Position mode. Entering the Stow and Deploy programming modes can only be accomplished by activating the Stow or Deploy
switch while at the start of the setup menu (LED CODE 1 Slow blink). (See sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 for more detail).
To aid in determining which setup menu the Universal II is in, the LED on the operator station has been programmed to blink a
different code for each function. Table 3-1 below lists the LED codes for each function. The codes have two parts. The LED code
will start with either one or two short blinks, a short pause, another series of short blinks, and then a long pause. The first number in
the LED code is the one or two blinks and the second number is the second series of blinks before the long pause.
Any of the following functions may be configured by stopping at that function and performing the operation (see sections 3.2.1 –
3.2.3 for detailed information on configuration of each function).

While any and all of these configurations are optional, if a monitor/turret orientation is mounted sideways or inverted, the monitor
orientation will need to be configured for proper operation. If at any point it is determined that an undesirable mode is active, it
is possible to abort the mode by removing power to the Universal II prior to activating the Fog input. If it is determined that an
undesired function may have been saved, it may be desirable to use the “Restore Factory Defaults” function (LED CODE 1-9). When
all desired changes have been made, cycling power will return the monitor/turret to normal operation with the changes made in
effect. The changes can also be saved by pressing the fog switch when in setup start mode (one single blink).
3.2.1 Soft Limit Positions, Monitor Orientation, and Obstacle Avoidance
The monitor/turret may have a range of motion greater than necessary for a given application. For instance, a monitor/turret with
a rotation range of 355° would have too much rotational range for use as a bumper turret. Soft limits can be set to shorten the
rotational and elevation range. NOTE: Use of this function will clear all stored obstacle avoidance option profile data and require
the obstacle avoidance to be re-programmed. Factory defaults are set to a soft limit location beyond the hard stops so that the
monitor will have full range of motion between hard stops until the soft limits are set. The soft limits are strictly OPTIONAL and do
not need to be configured.
3.2.1.1 Right (Blink Code 1-1) – In this mode, Up, Down, Left, and Right functions will be active. Move the monitor to the right
position that is to be set as the soft limit. When in the position desired for the right soft limit, press the Fog switch. The
new right soft limit is now set and the left soft limit is active for programming. Alternately, activating the Stream command
will abort this mode without storing the position and forward the user to the left Soft Limit Position mode.
3.2.1.2 Left (Blink Code 1-2) – In this mode, Up, Down, Left, and Right functions will be active. Move the monitor to the left
position that is to be set as the soft limit. When in the position desired for the left soft limit, press the Fog switch. The
new left soft limit is now set and the up soft limit is active for programming. Alternately, activating the Stream command will
abort this mode without storing the position and forward the user to the up Soft Limit Position mode.
3.2.1.3 Up (Blink Code 1-3) – In this mode, Up, Down, Left, and Right functions will be active. Move the monitor to the up
position that is to be set as the soft limit. When in the position desired for the down soft limit, press the Fog switch. The
new up soft limit is now set and the down soft limit is active for programming. Alternately, activating the Stream command
will abort this mode without storing the position and forward the user to the down Soft Limit Position mode.
3.2.1.4 Down (Blink Code 1-4) – In this mode, Up, Down, Left, and Right functions will be active. Move the monitor to the
down position that is to be set as the soft limit. When in the position desired for the down soft limit, press the Fog switch. The
new down soft limit is now set and the monitor orientation setup is active for programming. Alternately, activating the Stream
command will abort this mode without storing the position and forward the user to the monitor orientation Soft Limit
Position mode.
3.2.1.5 Monitor Orientation (Blink Code 1-7) – There are instances when it is desirable to mount the monitor/turret other
than in the factory default “flange on the bottom” position. In those instances, this function prevents having to change
the wiring of switches or re-programming CAN joysticks to handle changes in Up/Down – Left/Right behavior. It is only
necessary to program the monitor orientation when the monitor/turret is mounted on its side or upside down. When in this
mode, determine which of the four inputs (Up, Down, Left, or Right) results in “Up” movement. The last movement made
prior to pressing the Fog switch will be used as the new Up motion and will remap the other inputs accordingly. Move the
monitor in whatever the current “Up” motion is and then press the Fog switch. The new orientation is now saved and
the Position Sensor Zero setup mode is active for programming. If the Stream switch is pressed at any time before the Fog
switch, the monitor orientation will remain unchanged and the user will be placed in Position Sensor Zero mode. NOTE: Use
of this function will clear all stored obstacle avoidance profile data and require the obstacle avoidance option to be re-
programmed.
